After so much bugging, my mother in law succeeded in winning me over to go shopping with Chi-saun. I tried not to be bothered by all her actions, as she constantly played the role of a pregnant woman.I rolled the shopping cart as Chi-saun picked whatever she wanted and dropped into the cart.“Mother, I think I need to go for a check up.” Chi-saun said, rubbing her hand on her stomach.“Have you made an appointment with the doctor?” My mother-in-law said sweetly, she would never sound this way to me.I tried not to indulge in their conversation cause it slowly pissing me off“Are we done here?” I asked trying to ruin their mother and daughter lovey dovey moment“Oh! You are with us?” My mother-in-law haven a brow, sounding rhetorical as though she wasn’t expecting me to be with them.“Seriously?” I sighed heavily, trying to be calm. “Look here, I’m here because you ask me to. If you don’t want me here, let me know and I will leave.” I spilled bluntly, staring at them seriously.All th
I invited Isabella and Mia over the next day. Since there was truly no maid, I did the cooking with Ruby’s little assistant as Logan’s mother wouldn’t let her stay at a place.I finished preparing some light breakfast and returned to the kitchen to clean up when Ruby came in.“Miss. Amber.” She called me and I turned.“Are they here?” I raised a brow, asking anxiously.“Yes, they are in the living room.” She said and I nodded.“Let me finish with this, I will meet them shortly.” I said and attempted to continue but she quickly stopped me, slowly taking off the hand glove from my hands.“I will take it up from here.” She smiled mischievously and chased me from the kitchen.I laughed at the one that fit as I went to meet my guests in the living room.“Mia and Isabella!” I gushed, feeling so happy to see them and they stood from the armchair.“You are here.” We exchanged warm embraces.“Let’s head to the dining room. I have already prepared something.” I suggested it with a smile on my f
I ran into the hospital like a mad dog that had been let loose in search of my wife. After hearing the news from my mother who was reluctant to inform me about it, I didn’t hesitate to rush to the hospital.“I’m looking for my wife…” My voice was bickering and I was so impatient.“What’s the name?” The nurse questioned politely and as I was about to respond to her, someone called me.“Master.” I turned to see Ruby waving at me, she approached me.”Where is Amber?” I didn’t know when I grabbed her arms.“She… she is still in the emergency room.” Ruby stuttered, her voice was filled with hurt.“The ER? Was it so serious?” She led me to the waiting area and I saw Mia and Isabella with her. Neither my mother or Chi-saun was there which annoyed me.I knew mother didn’t like Amber but she shouldn’t be so selfish when it was a matter of death and life.“What happened to Amber?” I asked her sister and friends calmly, they sighed as they faced me.“Chi-saun was nitpicking her when suddenly she
I walked into the room and placed my hand on my stomach. The doctor's words were still surprising me.“I’m pregnant.” I scoffed, shaking my head in disbelief. I wasn’t expecting such news not now and never.Thinking back to the previous, I wasn’t expecting my mother to come today since I just heard the news. There would be a lot of pressure with my mother-in-law and mother on one roof and I must be prepared for some actions.I know my mother so well and she was not the type that visits without a heads up, I think she already knows that something is going on and I don’t want her to get on the bad side of Logan.Suddenly, there was a knock on my door and it pulled open. I turned around and it was my mother, I swallowed and kept on a strong facade.“Mom.” She approached me, squeezing out a bright smile with all her wrinkles folding up.It dawned on me that my mother was getting old.“What are you doing here?” I asked, she grabbed my hands and cupped them into hers.“I have heard everyth
Unlike how I presumed the date to be like, it was the complete opposite. Reina and Logan made sure Liam and I were comfortable. We discussed something farther away from our lives and by the time we realized it, none of us were willing to discuss our personal life.It was great that I wished time never flew as it did. The meal and the time spent with Liam and Reina was worth it.Who would have thought that Liam will settle with a woman like her. Cheerful, compassionate, and jovial. There was no boring moment with her as we were talking every second.Yeah, I felt a little thrown at the edge by the way Liam lauded her but fortunately, there was Logan who was beside me; caressing and making sure I didn’t feel empty or jealous.There was nothing to feel jealous about.I held Logan’s arm and leaned on his chest as we walked into the main living room. It was already late and we weren’t planning on seeing anyone but that was where I got the whole thing wrong.“Amber.” My mother called out to
I guessed she must have felt uncomfortable visiting the same family which she thought would be her final destination in the marital aspect.We all sat down in the living room, staring at each other; patiently waiting for the elders to make the first move.“Mum…” James nudged my mother who was still engrossed in Amber's presence, I guess she was already wishing it was us - coming to see them to become a married couple.“Madam Smith.” My mother’s voice finally came up.“My son told me about the beautiful flower he spotted in your garden.” She continued and my father cleared his throat.“That’s my line.” He said sarcastically and we all laughed.“Anyway, my son is interested in your daughter and I assume you know what that means?” My mother raised a brow and Amber’s mother nodded.“Yes. I know James is a good man.” She sighed. “As long as he can take care of my daughter and make her happy, I have no problem.” She said conclusively.“Be rest assured, mother.” James was the most shy and im
Three months later, Isabella successfully married her heartthrob, James and they moved into the mansion that was bought by Mr. Chase Jamie.Everyone was slowly adapting to the nature of change but Logan’s family won’t just accept things the way they came.As my baby bump came up, so did Chi-saun though her laziness ranked more than mine as she was always sending maids errands every second. In a week, we have employed three batches of maids because none of them could stand the pressure coming from her.“Amber, are you alright?” My mother approached me and supported me as I came down the stairs.Liam reluctantly gave me some months off which gave me no room for escaping from the troubles at home.“I’m fine. Just a bit thirsty.” I sighed heavily as I gradually sat on the armchair.“Let me get water for you.” She quickly rushed to the kitchen before I could stop her.“This woman…” I rubbed my forehead and relaxed on the armchair.Soon, Chi-saun came downstairs with my mother-in-law. As us
The following morning, my mother had already prepared my breakfast and the same goes for Chi-saun. It was as if the both mothers were trying to make their desired daughter happy and also compete between themselves.“Mum, I can do all these myself.” I frowned as I wolfed the noodles she made that morning, it wasn’t even up to my satisfaction. It was as if there were more worms dining with me at each bite.I never knew a four to five month pregnancy would turn one into a food hunter. I salivated and faced Ruby.“Can you make me another plate?” I squeezed out a smile with my eyes urging her.Ruby made the first step, approaching the kitchen when my mother-in-law stopped her.“Stop right there. Have you forgotten what Chi-saun sent you?” She fired in annoyance.“Ma’am?” Ruby looked clueless.“I asked you to bring the duvet from my room, I feel cold.” Chi-saun said, fringing a baby-ish low voice and I snorted.“I can make some myself.” I stood up from the chair and went over to the kitchen
