After a few minutes, Celine composed herself and pulled away from the embrace. Alexander wiped her tears away with his thumb."I'm sorry you had to go through that, Celine. I promise you that I will talk to Isabella and sort things out," Alexander said.Celine shook her head."No, Alexander, please don't. It's not necessary. I don't want to cause any trouble between you and her," Celine said, wiping her tears away."But she can't just come here and insult you like that. It's not right," Alexander said, frowning."It's okay, Alexander. I can handle it. I'm tougher than I look," Celine said, managing a weak smile.Alexander smiled back at her, relieved to see her smiling again."I know you are," he said, kissing her forehead.Celine yawned, feeling exhausted after the emotional outburst."I think I need some rest. Can we continue this later?" Celine asked, closing her eyes."Of course, Rest well. I'll be here if you need anything," Alexander said, standing up.As he walked towards the d
Celine shook her head and sat up on the bed. "No, I just woke up. How did you sleep?"Alexander nodded and said, "I slept well. I couldn't help but check up on you and the baby. How are you feeling?"Celine rubbed her stomach and said, "I'm feeling good. A little tired, but that's to be expected, I suppose."Alexander nodded and said, "You should take it easy today. You have an appointment with the doctor, right?"Celine nodded and said, "Yes, I do. I was actually just about to get ready for it."Alexander stood up and offered her a hand. "Let me help you up."Celine took his hand and stood up. She stretched her arms and yawned. Alexander couldn't help but admire her beauty, even in her sleepy state.He walked with her to the door and said, "I'll wait for you downstairs. Do you want me to come with you to the doctor's appointment?"Celine smiled and said, "No, it's okay. I can go alone. But thank you for offering."Alexander nodded and said, "Alright then. Take care of yourself and th
After freshening up, Alexander joined Celine for dinner. As they ate, Celine recounted her visit to the doctor and how she was told that she would give birth in two weeks. Alexander's fork stopped midway to his mouth as he looked at Celine in shock."Two weeks? That's so soon," he said.Celine nodded, taking a sip of water. "Yes, it is. But the doctor said everything is going well, so we don't have to worry too much."Alexander nodded, still in disbelief. "I can't believe it's almost time for our baby to arrive. We need to make sure everything is ready at home for the baby's arrival."Celine smiled, feeling reassured by Alexander's concern. "Yes, we do. But don't worry, I've already started getting everything ready. We need to arrange the baby's room"Alexander grinned. "That's good to hear. I'm so excited to meet our little one."Celine reached out to hold Alexander's hand. "Me too. I can't wait to see what he or she looks like and to hold them in my arms."They continued to talk abo
Adam raised an eyebrow. "And yet, here you are, about to become a father with a woman you barely know."Alexander's face flushed slightly. "It's not like that," he protested. "Celine and I have a connection. And besides, we didn't plan for this to happen.""Sure, sure," Adam said, grinning. "I believe you. So, can I come over and see this woman who's made you fall in love?"Alexander let out a small laugh. "You're not going to let this go, are you?""Nope," Adam replied, still grinning. "I want to meet the woman who's turned the great Alexander Jameson into a softie."Alexander rolled his eyes again, but he couldn't help but feel a twinge of pride at Adam's words. He had always been seen as a playboy, but Celine had changed him in ways he never thought possible."Well, I'll have to ask Celine if she's up for visitors," Alexander said finally."Come on, man, don't be a buzzkill," Adam said, his grin fading slightly. "I just want to see my friend happy. And if this woman is the reason f
Isabella povIsabella couldn't get the thought of Alexander and Celine's baby out of her head. She was convinced that the child was not his, and she had to do something about it. So, she decided to pay a visit to Alexander's mother, hoping to convince her of the same.As she drove to the estate, Isabella rehearsed her lines in her head. She knew that Mrs. Jameson had always favored her over any other girl Alexander had brought home, and she was counting on that fact to work in her favor.Isabella stepped out of her car and took a deep breath before approaching the grand entrance of the Jameson family estate. She had been anticipating this visit for a long time, eager to get her claws back into Alexander. She had always believed that he was the one who got away, and Celine's pregnancy was the perfect opportunity for her to try and worm her way back into his life.As she entered the grand foyer, she was greeted by Alexander's mother, Mrs. Jameson, who gave her a warm hug. "Isabella, it'
"Isabella, why are you still hung up on Alexander?" Marcus asked, leaning in closer to her."I'm not hung up on him," Isabella said, defensively."Then why are you still talking about him?" Marcus said, his tone accusatory.Isabella sighed, knowing he had a point. "I just can't help but wonder what could have been, you know?"Marcus shook his head, a smile playing at the corners of his lips. "Isabella, forget about him. You and I could start something new. Something better."Isabella felt a flicker of interest at his words, but quickly shook it off. "I can't just forget about him. And besides, what about Celine and the baby?" I hate that woman!"Marcus rolled his eyes. "That's not your problem, Isabella. You need to think about yourself for once."Isabella felt a pang of guilt at his words, but pushed it aside. "I can't just abandon Alexander like that. And besides, Alexander will come back to me eventually. I just know it."Marcus looked at her skeptically. "Isabella, you're deluding
After finishing breakfast, Chris, Alexander's personal driver, arrived to inform him that the car was ready. Alexander turned to him and said, "Chris, I'm going to be driving today. You can take the day off."Chris was surprised but also happy for Alexander. "Are you sure, sir?" he asked."Yes, I want to take Celine to the shopping mall to buy things for our baby and to arrange the nursery," Alexander replied with a smile.Chris nodded in agreement and thanked him. "Thank you, sir. I appreciate it," he said before leaving the room.Celine looked at Alexander, feeling touched by his gesture. "You don't have to do this, Alexander. You have important work to attend to," she said, feeling grateful."I know, but spending time with you and preparing for our baby is just as important to me," Alexander replied with a gentle smile.Celine smiled back, feeling overwhelmed with love for him. She knew that Alexander was a busy man with a lot of responsibilities, but the fact that he was taking th
Alexander led Celine to the room he had just finished arranging, her hand held tight in his. He flicked the light switch, and the room was bathed in a soft, warm light. Celine's eyes sparkled with delight as she looked around the room.The walls were painted a soft shade of yellow, and the windows were draped with cream-colored curtains. A wooden crib stood in one corner, adorned with a soft blue blanket and a fluffy teddy bear. A rocking chair was placed beside the crib, and a matching dresser stood on the opposite wall. The room was cozy and inviting, and it made Celine's heart swell with love."Wow, Alexander, it's beautiful!" Celine exclaimed, her eyes shining with happiness. "Thank you for doing all of this for our baby."Alexander smiled, his eyes softening as he gazed at Celine. "I would do anything for you and our baby, Celine."Celine's heart skipped a beat at his words, and she felt her cheeks flush. She couldn't believe how lucky she was to have a man like Alexander as the
