Chapter 21
Even after seven days spent in Europe, Josephine was still feeling the effects of the jet lag. Besides, life in lies was especially difficult for her. Even cold-blooded Theo seemed to be slowly cracking at the seams. Everything was ready for tomorrow's reception, but it took Josephine a little time to spend it as far away from Theo's demanding relatives as possible. So she snuck into the library to stay there until further notice, but Theo found her anyway.
"There you are." Theo looked great in his elegant dark pants and light sweater, which accentuated his broad shoulders.
"I thought you went to the office." He shook his head.
"I couldn't leave you today." Josephine was confused.
"How is today different from the others?" Theo grabbed his chest and pretended to have a heart attack.
"I can't believe you forgot." Josephine laughed.
"Don't give up your job because of that bad acting," she joked.
"You really don't know what day it

As they came out of the forest, a clearing appeared in front of them, through which a crystal clear stream meandered, overgrown with willow and hornbeam trees. Now it became clear to her why Theo loved this place so much. She imagined him sitting by the stream as a boy and throwing pebbles into it. "Is this clearing part of your property?" The property covers more than two hundred hectares. But this is by far the most beautiful place for me. ” “ It's fantastic, Theo. On the other side of the clearing stood a lovely log cabin. Theo approached the creek and dismounted. "We'll let the horses drink the water first, then we'll tie them up." Josephine got off her horse and felt the muscles in her legs tremble slightly, but otherwise, she felt great. When the horses finished watering, she asked him, "How often do you use this log cabin?" For a while, I was the only one who came here, and since I moved from Albany, I think Gwen started using it from time to time. ”

They swayed in passionate ecstasy for a few moments until she lifted her buttocks and put her hand inside her They moved rhythmically and harmoniously like two instruments in a perfectly coordinated orchestra. Theo's strong arms, wrapped around her buttocks, guided her and led her to a common goal. When her whole body trembled from a strong orgasm, he accelerated his own rhythm and very quickly joined her in sailing the waters of paradise. The others clung to each other for a long time. As they began to whisper tenderness to each other, Josephine realized she was in nasty trouble. That she fell in love with her husband was not in the plan at all. Despite the sincerity they swore to each other, she didn't think it wise to say her newfound feelings out loud. As their breathing gradually evened out and the heat of their bodies eased, Josephine gently pulled herself out of his embrace. The loud rumbling of her stomach came to her as ordered. "I'm starving," she said. The c

Upon returning to America, Josephine immediately rushed to the moon to visit Ana. She was tormented by a pang of conscience because she enjoyed Gwen's company in Europe and spent time with her husband, while her sister lay helpless here. As she stepped into her room, she found her sitting in a wheelchair with her gaze directed out the window. Her blonde hair was gathered with a plain rubber band, and her pink T-shirt was stained with food. "Hello, darling," Josephine greeted her as she approached. Ana only briefly parted her lips in a smile, since after the stroke she could not smile otherwise. Her eyes lit up slightly when she saw her sister. She raised a healthy hand and wrapped it around Josephine's neck. "N ... I missed you ... we," Ana stammered. "And you to me." Although she actually missed only one visit, Josephine knew that her sister's absence had lasted like an eternity. There wasn’t much that would get her younger sister out of bed. "Did you eat anything?"

Theo's stay in New York lasted until Wednesday, which would have made it much harder for Josephine to feel better. She took advantage of his absence and scheduled an examination with her longtime friend and the doctor she went to and prescribed some reliable form of contraception. As she sat at the examination table in the hospital nightgown, Josephine wrapped her arms around herself to warm herself in the cool room. Due to her concern for her sister and the fear that her fake marriage would be broken, she often could not sleep at night, her appetite was getting worse and she was getting tired faster than before. Before entering the office, Dr. Luna knocked softly on the door. She was a middle-aged woman who had taken care of Josephine's health since her teenage days. She was the one who prescribed her every antibiotic she took in her life, and she held her hand after her mother's death. "Finally to see you here. I just recently wondered where you were and what you were doin

He needs to talk to Josephine tonight, Theo thought. He can't hide the secret about his father's will from her forever. After all, they vowed to be honest with each other. In fact, Josephine's fairness and incorruptibility made him a better man. Jeff's suggestion that he forced her to become pregnant seemed completely inappropriate to him. Could it fall on such low branches? Maybe he could if it was someone else. But, except for Josephine, there were not many in the world who had a good opinion of him. That's why they didn't want to spoil it. Her trust was the only thing he genuinely cared about. When he entered his villa in Malibu, it was about six in the afternoon. The first thing he heard upon entering the house was Merino chattering around the kitchen. "I hope you've made enough food for two," he called to her from the kitchen door. "Oh, you've arrived. Thank goodness. I was already thinking of calling you. ” “ Call me? Why? Is something wrong? ”He

Josephine knew that she could give up the child or have an abortion, which was certainly a worse solution for her health. After all, they are both adults, not teenagers who have been hit by something they are not up to. He will talk and make a reasonable decision. When she got out of the tub, the severe headache eased a little and turned into a slight tingling in the back of her head. She refreshed her face with a little moisturizer and soaked the gel below her eyes, and she already felt much better. When she came out of the bathroom in a soft, white robe, she thought Theo was still asleep. But he had been awake for a long time. He was standing next to the tray he had brought from the kitchen, still in the crumpled clothes in which he had lain down last night. In addition to the freshly squeezed orange juice, several plates were lined up on a tray; on one were salty crackers, on the other soft cheese, and on the third hard-boiled eggs. "What's this supposed to mean?" Theo gr

Morning sickness worsened instead of getting better. Well, that was a hassle! Theo, the actor as he was, agreed that her morning "discomfort" was a hassle, but he promised to help her until she got better. They agreed not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, at least not until the first three months have passed, due to the possibility of complications and abortion. Although the doctor assured them after six weeks that everything was going well and that they had no reason to worry, they still decided to wait for the good news to be revealed. Josephine didn't say anything even to Alice, which wasn't easy. However, she thought it was so much better than her best friend didn’t accidentally fail to mention it to someone. As promised, Theo was really there for her. Of course, there were situations when he had to travel to Europe, no longer than three days, which was a hassle for Josephine, but luck was three times greater when he returned. Days of living together followed. The nights, too,

At the last medical examination, two days before the trip, together they saw the outlines of their unborn child on the screen of the ultrasound machine and listened to the beating of his tiny heart. Josephine's eyes filled with tears, and his throat tightened with excitement. It was a feeling that could not be compared to anything he had felt before. In fact, it was, Theo thought. His gaze wandered to Josephine, who stood surrounded by his relatives. His heart suddenly filled with pleasant warmth and some invisible force pushed him towards her. The moment he hugged her, he experienced enlightenment: his love for the unborn child mingled with another strong feeling. Love for Josephine. Instead of running away from those potentially dangerous feelings, Theo happily embraced them, as if they were the best possible hand in poker. Since he had enough time to read Josephine's feelings for him, he had no reason to bluff and hide his own. After all, as in the cards, so in life, Theo n
