She didn’t notice it while they were in the car as her entire attention was at Clayton. “If you don’t like to eat here, we can go to another place to eat.” Clayton sensed her reaction and stroked her back. Emerald looked up to him. For a few moments there, Clayton was mesmerized and lost in her eyes. Pure love shimmering in her emerald green eyes. “I’m fine, let’s go, I’m hungry,” she tugged at his arms, taking him out of his enchantment. “O - kay,” he stuttered. “Stuttering, Mr. Strong?” Emerald rarely hears him stutter and it made her giggle. Clayton shook his head, surely it was only this woman that made him stutter. At this time the restaurant should be busy serving diners but Emerald was surprised to see an empty restaurant. She turned to look at the man standing beside her with his hand protectively situated at her waist. “You booked the whole place,” she was certain that he did it. This restaurant is very popular with wealthy people in Kregger. Walk-in diners
Clayton frowned that his heart leaped in excitement that the beautiful woman wasn’t his father's lover.“She’s an orphan and has no family in Kraftgren. I have always liked to have a daughter,” Leonardo said and went to open the door upon hearing someone softly knocking on the door.Opening the door, he saw Emerald, “Yes, Emerald?”‘Oh, her name is Emerald, just like the color of her beautiful eyes,’ Clayton said in his mind.Emerald blushed meeting Clayton’s eyes and lowered her gaze, with a quivering lips, she said, “Dinner is ready, Mr. Strong.”“By the
The din of hooves pawing, loud neighing and shouting confused Emerald and her mind seemed to freeze.“Is she hurt?”“Baby, talk to me, are you hurt somewhere?” Clayton was trembling as he looked up and down to check if she had been hurt, tears flowed from his eyes.“Take the horse back into the barn.”“Take the squirrel, Sky was frightened.”“What happened here?”“Emerald, please speak, baby,” Clayton couldn’t control his trembling hands as he cupped her face.
With mouth opening and closing like a fish, Emerald couldn't find a word to say as she couldn't believe him. He was having a fever and still thought of doing it with her.This man is unbelievable."Babe," snapped his finger before Emerald's face.Emerald blinked and shook her head negatively. "No, you have a fever."She declined, considering that he had a fever due to what happened in the stable.Emerald moved away from him only to be followed by the man, seemingly persistent to get what he wanted."You are my cure, babe," Clayton replied and placed kisses from her tem
As if the time stood still, Clayton’s eyes were glued at the little thing in the doctor’s hand.“Uwaah! Uwaah!” the baby cried.“Babe,” Emerald lifted her limp hand and caressed Clayton’s face, noticeably overjoyed seeing his son as he stared unblinkingly at the baby while tears ran down his cheeks.Clayton was taken from his daze and looked down at the woman. The love of his life that gave him a son.“I’m a daddy, babe. Thank you!” Clayton sobbed and chuckled at the same time while he pressed his lips on Emerald’s sweaty forehead.It doesn’t matter what th
Emerald, smiling, handed the phone over to Clayton. "Hello," Clayton said without looking at who the caller was. "Clayton!," Hearing a female call him, Clayton couldn't help but furrow his brows. "Who are you? Why are you calling at this ungodly hour?" Clayton spoke coldly. Emerald was convinced that it was another ploy of a crazy woman, trying to get her husband's attention. "It's Leila," the woman purred. "Ms. Darwin, I already told you that the project will be personally handled by Mr. Moore. Don't call me again," Clayton impatiently answered and ended the call not giving her any room to reply. Clayton annoyingly deposited his phone on the night stand before going back to his business. "Even in the middle of the night, your suitors wouldn't stop bugging you," Emerald teased him. "It's annoying to talk about them. Concentrate on us babe. You know I've missed you so much," Clayton showered her shoulder with light kisses. Clayton drank in Emerald's love and made up
Clayton picked up the file from the desk and looked up to Emerald and tried to decipher what was in her mind before opening the file. 'We are both happy. She's happy with me and has had no complaints about our relationship since we remarried.' He racked his brain to see if he made her unhappy this 8 years. 'This isn't a divorce paper,' he consoled himself. Taking a deep breath he opened the file and saw what was in it. With eyes wide open he gawked at it for a long time. After a while he stood up and hugged her crying. "Babe, are you serious?" "What you see is true," Emerald answered. Clayton lifted her up and twirled, crying while laughing. What was inside of the file was the ultrasound result of their twins. He couldn't believe that his dream to have a big family came true. They will be having additional members to the family, not only one but two. "You are eight weeks pregnant, why aren't you having morning sickness?" "I don't know, what I only experienced was
Theo stared at Tracy's, conflicting emotions swimming in his chest. "Do you know what you are saying?" he pinched her chubby face ever so gently. "I know, your mom and my mom said I am your fiancée and you are going to marry me when I finish university," Tracy was so sure of herself. Theo ruffled her hair and looked at the girl. "Do you want to join us, Lindy?" Lindy smirked and raised an eyebrow at Tracy. "Sure!" Tracy stuck her tongue at Lindy. "Tracy, stop it!" Theo said sternly and she stiffened. This was her first time to hear that tone from him, she looked at him with teary eyes. She put her hand on Theo's arm and pulled it away from her arm before turning away. Tracy thought that Theo would chase after her but she was wrong. She waited for him but still no Theo came after her. Her driver had arrived and Theo hadn't come. "Sweetie, what's wrong?" Michelle was worried to see her daughter downcast. "Mom, Theo does not like me anymore," Tracy sobbed as she hugg
