Chapter 475: A widower!
“You are pregnant?!”
Disbelief was clearly written on Jack’s face. He can’t help but feel himself going numb for a few seconds as if this didn’t fit inside his brain.
Subconsciously, his eyes shifted to trace her stomach, finding that it was still flat behind that tight suit of hers.
“Yes, I’m pregnant with my ex-boyfriend’s child.” Sierra didn’t hide it anymore since her eyes shone brightly. “I thought why not tell you since you will be wedded with me. I have someone else’s child in my stomach.”
“And I have no reason to abort this child ever.” Sierra’s determination crashed Jack’s heart a lot.
Knowing that the child she carried must be of her ex-boyfriend, a jerk, who is no more there in her life...it somehow brought the turmoil too.
For the next few minutes, Jack had no reaction. Neither was he happy, nor sad. All he telecasted was the uneasiness that resided in his heart.
.....
Seeing the lack of response agitated Sierra who opened her lips, “You aren’t happy. I understand. I don’t even know how I told you this..”
“But if I didn’t and you got to learn about my pregnancy after marriage, I think it would be more of the worst thing. You have a life, you are a bachelor. If you want, you can go and find someone else. I don’t even want you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSierra’s clarity only raised Jack’s heart. He had no idea but the betrayal and lost feeling he had seen in her, is now totally finished. ‘Are you a time-changing woman?’ He really wondered about this.
However, to his disappointment, Sierra stood firm in her words and the statement.
There was literally no clash of things either. All that displayed was the firmness in their actions...
Yet, Jack’s brows lifted from their original place. “From your expressions..it doesn’t seem to me that your parents are aware of your pregnancy.”
“Correct. They aren’t.”
“But you told me...aren’t you afraid that I will break this wedding with you and...will reveal this secret of yours to your parents?” Jack’s question was valid in Sierra’s eyes.
“I know you won’t.” The answer came unexpectedly. How come she believed him so much that he won’t go and one and reveal her secret to her parents?
From where did she gain such confidence in herself out of nowhere?
It was mind-blowing in his heart, but on the other hand, he knew that Jack had the eagerness too. “Why won’t you do so?”
“Since the time you have entered my room, you think I haven’t found your acting and your speech cautious. I’m no fool. I have been a personal secretary of my boss and....reading people is my expertise too.” Sierra showcased her talent vibrantly with the brought smile.
Even such a smile held the power to make his heart skip a beat. ‘She Is seriously possessing sharp eyes...’ and he can’t help but applaud her skills.
But in contrast to Jack, the young Sierra had brought her hand to caress her stomach softly with her eyes lingering at her own body. “The child..can’t have the name of my ex-boyfriend. And if I’m marrying you, I want you to accept this too..”
Sierra’s fear was simply attached to her child. What if the other party actually separated her from her child?
She knew she would be devastated and this was impossible in her current scenario anymore.
Suddenly, the serious Jack had turned into the joyous one.
A smirk had pulled on his lips when he couldn’t help but mutter, “Sierra..you haven’t even heard about me? Have you?”
“What do you mean to say?” She hadn’t heard about him? Sierra thought twice.
As far as her brain goes, she knows that he is from abroad, and is currently handling his father’s business.
It is merely a huge one since his family is also counted as the influential one.
Instead of answering straight to her, Jack had brought out the wallet from his pocket. Taking it out he showed Sierra a picture in which she looked immediately while her grip tightened around that baby picture.
“Whose child is this? She is so cute....” Sierra’s lips automatically curved to a smile at the thought of such a cute child.
She almost looked young, very young to be precise. Almost a year or so.
“She is one year and months older till now,” Jack answered her question.
“Hm.. but show the child is she? She looks so cute!”Sierra’s heart was only blooming.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe could easily imagine that the children’s parents might be really beautiful for her to get such genes.
Wearing a pink and white-colored frock, she was cutting the cake in front hair for one year.
At last, Sierra felt the land beneath her feet was slipping when she heard Jack’s next shocking words.
“She is my and my late wife, Sarah’s daughter, Ailey Shen.”
Currently overwhelmed with shock, Sierra lifted her eyes to meet him. He was appearing calm as if nothing had actually taken place.
But instantly Sierra knew how difficult it was to react normally since nothing appeared to be such a normal case in her eyes for now. ”
“Ss-she..is your daughter..your.. ex-wife..”
“I have been married once, so neither am I so pure as you think of me.” Jack’s reply, as if he doesn’t care, didn’t put much impact on her expressions.
Neither was this easily digested in the stomach almost impossible for Sierra to recover from ever. ‘He has been married too...so does the smack both of us equal?’ and she is pregnant with a child.
A child of hers and a child of his....
Was this the destiny of being kind because of this tiny human being raised in her stomach?
Dozens so the questions lined up for their answers. But she had answers to neither one.
“So...you are a divorcee?” Sierra inquired with a rather slow voice, to which Jack shook his head.
“A widower. Sarah died at the time of childbirth.”
