Thank you for reading! Take care everyone.
The following day. The couple ate breakfast together in the dining room. Axel eyed his wife, silently eating her food. "Let's discuss our alibi and why you went on a holiday alone. I'm sure they would ask you if we quarreled or not. It would be unwise to reveal our divorce plan during the birthday party. So how will you answer their question?" he asked curiously. "Why are you interested in what my answer will be?" Sherry said. "Because I'm still your husband even though you already found a new replacement for me," he said, trying to bait her into revealing her secret. Sherry breathed deeply. "I will tell my family that you are denying me sex, and I desperately want to have a baby with you. So after quarreling with you about it, I went for a holiday to clear my mind," she explained. Axel chuckled. "What? Are you going to tell them that lame alibi of yours?" "Why not? It's the truth! It happened before I went for a holiday, and you can't deny it!" She glared at him. Axel grinned a
The temperature inside the moving vehicle is like a dynamite ready to explode.The couple were trying to think of better things to say to each other because the air between them was getting unbearable.Sherry quickly turned on the car stereo, and the upbeat reggae music filled the air, slowly dissolving the tense atmosphere around them.Fifteen minutes later, Axel turned off the music.Sherry glared at him. "Why did you turn off the music? I like listening to it.""Let's talk about your guy. Tell me more about him," he said curiously."None of your damned business!" Sherry said wearily."Common, you had already seen Meghan. Why can't I see this guy of yours?" he asked, trying to get more information about the mysterious guy."No, you can't see him!" Sherry shook her head."It's unfair. You have already seen Meghan. Why can't I see your guy?" Axel insisted."Why do you want to see him? What for? You want him and me to break up? You want to tell him to leave me alone?" Sherry asked susp
The following day, the couple woke up to a new day; as the sun rose on the horizon, they left their bed and started their day.Sherry used the bathroom first, followed by Axel.Afterward, they leave the room to join the others downstairs.But Axel blocked the door. "Wife, we need to talk about something..."Sherry raised a brow. "What is it this time?"Axel pointed to the bed. "Just sit on the bed first, and I will tell you about my plans."Sherry sighed and obeyed his order. "Say it now," she said impatiently.Axel lowered himself on the chair and looked at his wife in the eyes. "Hon, give me one month. One month is all I need to fix this mess. All you need to do is hang on a little bit longer. I know I've been hard on you. I hurt you so bad. I'm sorry for that, I really do," he said thoughtfully.Sherry meets her husband's gaze with contempt. "So what do you want?""Let's just continue playing a loving couple for now. After I get the DNA test result of the baby, I will decide what's
Sherry woke up half an hour later. Wow, she sleeps nicely. Feeling recharged and energized, she went downstairs to the garden and stayed in the pool for the rest of the afternoon, waiting for Russell until he was ready for video chatting with her.Sherry lowered herself into the sun lounger and stared at the sparkling water in the pool. She planned to swim in the water later in the evening if she was still in the mood.Axel came into the pool area. "Wife, I'm going to Meghan's place to convince her to undergo paternity testing tomorrow in the hospital," he said. "I won't be sleeping here tonight," he added.Sherry nodded her head. "Goodluck! I hope the baby is yours, so you don't have to worry about that issue anymore," she stated."Thank you," Axel said and left the pool.After her husband was gone, Sherry took several photos of herself relaxing in the sun lounger. He sent the photo to Russell with the caption, 'Relaxing in the pool after Axel told me that he will spend the night wit
The following day, after breakfast, Axel informed his wife through text that he would only return home if the paternity testing was finished. Sherry replied with a short good luck message. Meghan and Axel get dressed to go to the hospital. Axel already had booked a schedule with his physician cousin, who oversees the paternity testing department in the St. Mary Of Mercy hospital. Their appointment will be at 10:00 in the morning. They are going to a public place, so Meghan has to wear a headwrap and oversized sunglasses to hide her face. They can't be seen entering the hospital together to avoid being seen by any of Axel and Sherry's family because it will create massive chaos. Since Axel is close to his cousin, he convinced him to keep his appointment a secret from their friends, families, and relatives. After explaining his side thoroughly, the cousin agreed that as long as no one sees them together entering the hospital and the room testing, then everything will be fine. Megha
Three days later. Axel was inside his office when he received a text message from his cousin informing him that he already had the paternity test result in his office. When he inquired about the outcome, his cousin told him to come to his office in the hospital to get the result. After informing his secretary that he would be gone for a few hours, he exited his office. He boarded his car and drove straight to the hospital. A few minutes later, he finally arrived at his destination after driving within the speed limit. Axel's heart was beating rapidly in his ribcage as he parked his car in the parking lot of the hospital. He hurriedly exited his vehicle and entered the building. With every step he took, his anxiety rose to the roof. He was nervous because his cousin didn't say anything about the result. Is the child his or not? He finally reached his cousin's office and entered it, his heart racing. Dr. Ford was sitting on his desk calmly. He raised his head and looked at Axel. "F
After a silent yet tense filled ride, Axel and Peter finally arrived at the majestic resort.Axel parked his car outside the driveway of the villa.Meghan rushed outside when she heard the sounds of Axel's car parking outside. She went to the car, excited to see him. To her surprise, not only Axel exited the vehicle, but Peter, as well.Confusion marred her pretty face. Huh? What's going on?"Why is he here?" she asked in puzzlement, looking at Axel then to Peter. A deep frown appeared on her forehead."Let's get inside," Axel replied grimly, heading to the door.Annoyed that Axel seemed to be ignoring her, she looked at Peter. "Why are you here? What are you doing here? We're already over a long time ago," she asked irritably.Peter sighed heavily. "You will know everything why I'm here. Let's just get inside the house," he said calmly, ignoring her cold reception of his presence.Annoyed, Meghan turned around and entered the villa, gritting her teeth angrily.They settled on the sof
After a long drive, Axel finally arrived home.He entered the mansion and saw Mae about to go upstairs, carrying a food tray. "What is the food for, Mae?" he asked the maid."It's for your wife, sir," replied Mae."Why? She doesn't like eating in the dining room?" he asked."She's not feeling well lately. I think she had a flu. She vomited the entire food that she had eaten during lunch. And she vomited last night as well. She also got a cold and sneezed quite a lot," Mae elaborated.Axel's brows creased. "Did she already take medicine?" he asked, climbing the staircase in a giant stride."Yes, I bought medicine from the pharmacy yesterday, and she's been taking it, but she's still feeling sick. But she has no fever, though," Mae explained.Axel was already at the top of the staircase, walking briskly towards the master's bedroom. When he entered the room, Sherry was lying on the bed, looking ill. He rushed to her side. "Are you OK? What happened to you?" he asked, touching her forehe
