Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 56

THREE DAYS LATER.

Something was definitely wrong - Sylvie concluded as she typed away on her keyboard.

Neither Kage nor Westley had said something to her about an issue, but she knew there was one. She just didn't

know who to get it from. Kage had been acting really strange around her, giving her the cold treatment.

Although, he never stopped providing more than enough food for her and made sure she always had what she

wanted. But that little warmth between them had now grown very cold. And Sylvie couldn't u n't understand why.

As for Westley; he was still on about the wedding. He kept pestering her to think about it and give him a reply

soonest. His desperation was actually the reason Sylvie was still reluctant about it.

She checked the time. It was almost eleven. She and Kage had to go for an inspection.

Her hands froze on the keyboard when her abdomen hurt, Oh, God.

She lowered her head and groaned, waiting for the wave to subside. It did. She stood up, exhaling deeply and

was able to get a peek of the truck before their car drove pass.

He rolled his neck. "It's day tine, Sylvie. We can't possibly stand in such a crowded area to get ice cream."

Sylvie fell as though, she'd been asked to stop breathing, she'd been craving something cold and sweaty since

she woke up.. She's taken a bottle of cold drink already, but the craving wouldn't quench. And now, seeing the

ice cream truck with skids holding cones of it, she realized that was exactly what she needed

When he returned and Sylvie had the cone in her hand, her joy was like none. She took a big kick, staining the

Her gaze was on the ice cream, but she could swear she'd seen Kage staring at her from the side of her eye.

He handed her a napkin. "You eat like you a still a kid. Have some."

She frowned. "Well, then, | am a kid, Kage. Or maybe it's because I'm pregnant with kids, what do you think?"

She laughed. looking at him.

"What's going on?" Sylvie asked as she walked back to the car with Kage.

Kage had his hand in his pocket and wouldn't look at her. "What're you talking about?"

"This this very attitude you've been displaying" She sighed. "We've been acting like strangers, Kage. You hardly

look at me, you hardly talk to me. It's as if ... you're withdrawing. What's the problem?" Kage didn't look at her,

and to make it worst, he said nothing in response to her questions.

Her eyes flashed with hurt. Why wouldn't he talk about it?

She continued walking, getting to the car before him.

You know you can talk toabout it, right?" she asked when he joined her in the car.

"Why? What can Sylvie Price do for Kage Hawkins?" His eyes were on his laptop.

She scoffed disbelievingly. "Well, | may not be Kage Hawkins, but there are still a lot of things | can do, alright?

What do you think you are, a god?"

They hit the road, and the silent treatment continued. Few minutes later, Westley called.

Sylvie glanced at Kage who was busy with his laptop before picking the call.

"Hey

"Hye, babe. How're you doing?"

"Oh Had lunch already?" Not yet.

She'd been sitting on his couch but stood up as soon as he entered.
