Earl's POV

"Attorney Liam Bartolome!"

I stopped supporting Claire when I heard that voice. When was the last time I heard that?

I looked at his behavior and saw who he was calling. Since when did she have a boyfriend? I just realized now, did I really know him completely. Did I fully know the woman I married?

"I have something to tell you!"

I just keep listening and watching them. Maybe they didn't notice us. because we were on the side of my car and I would have entered if I hadn't heard his voice.

I clenched my fist the next time the man hugged him. I expect her to ask for help. Because it was sudden but nothing. She just let the guy hug her.

"Tell me what is it?"

I froze at the sight of the PTs he reached.

"P-positive? You're pregnant?"

I know we are a little far away but it was enough for me to hear everything they talked about. And I don't even understand myself why I'm still listening. why am I still here watching the fun of the two of them.

"Your ex is pregnant? The question is? Who is the father?"

I turned my gaze to Claire. I look at her tummy.

"How about you?" I couldn't stop saying and he bowed because of that.

The h*ll! I can't accept if Celine's child is with another man. Did she cheat?

"My baby girl is pregnant! Woohoo!"

"Attorney put me down! You kid!"

Those words did not escape me. And what the man did next. he knelt down and kissed my husband's stomach.

I never expected this to be this painful.

A moment later he accidentally looked at me. I stared at him. While Claire next to me was silent. He must have felt the tension between us.

I saw how the man pulled her away. Damn it! I really wanted to talk to him but anger and pain prevailed.

"Let's go!"

I promised when I saw that they had entered. I got into the car and I lost the desire to open Claire's door.

I was waiting for him and when I got in, I started my car.

"Are you okay?" Claire promised calmly.

"Do I look okay?" I firmly promise.

He just kept quiet. I just drove and gripped the steering wheel tightly.

'Celine? do you think it's that easy to leave me?' My mind screamed.

'Do you think I will agree to the annulment you are talking about?'

'I will not let you escape Celine. I will not grant the annulment you are asking for. For what? So that you and your man can be together?'

I became nervous and gradually slowed down the car's operation.

'I will not give you the freedom you demand Celine. Never.'

Chapter 7

Celine's POV

"You are more than a month pregnant, wife. I suggest you should avoid stress and take good care of yourself. especially it's your first baby. I will give you a prescription for the child. Vitamins for the baby to be specific." The doctor's long litany. I cringed when I noticed that Liam nodded one after the other. He was still holding my hand as if he was struggling. Hahaha.

"And besides, as his wife, you should take good care of your wife. The first time is no joke." The doctor told Liam that I stopped him.

"To add, it's still okay to have sex during this period of pregnancy." The doctor added.

I laughed when Liam suddenly let go of my hand. He still coughed. What? Choked on saliva? That's it?

"Ahm, ehh... I'm her brother not her husband." It seems that the doctor still stutters correcting him.

"Ow? I'm sorry. I thought you were a couple. You looked good together." said the doctor, besides, he already wrote a prescription.

My companion took a sip, obviously surprised. I stopped laughing as I looked at him.

"Grossed out?" I whispered teasingly to him.

"Tsk! Don't tease me Jas." He promised blushing.

I still couldn't stop smiling. Should I leave it, my peak of emotion is intense. I can't control too much. Maybe this is how you got pregnant. That's why my mood has changed a bit these past few days.

We left the clinic and that's when I released the laughter I had been suppressing. Liam looked at me with a frown and he even snorted.

"Tsk! Also, I'm going to report you to Irish that you're pregnant." He said he was annoyed so I kept quiet. Oh? Not allowed. Besides, I will tell Irish when we meet. He's still busy selling his brief. haha, kidding.

"It's going to be quiet. You can't be funny." I'm still laughing. I was surprised when he suddenly pulled me again. I'm sure someone has thought of it.

"And where are we going?" I want to ask.

He quickly seated me in his beloved blue car.

"Shopping!" He said like a child and was even cute.

Before I could speak, he quickly drove the car to a famous mall.

"What are we going to do here?" I asked him as I dragged myself inside.

"It's shopping." He said and went straight to the baby's section. I stopped for a moment and smiled. The toys and clothes are cute.

"You bought the mall from Earl, didn't you? It's not bad for us to be customers here, isn't it. They said to protect our own." I burst out laughing at Liam's words. Even if it's really the Attorney. haha

People kept staring at us because of our noise. Well, what he said was true. Little by little, this mall is falling out of my hands. Being the number one investor in Earl's company, I have the right to own it. Because they are gradually going bankrupt.

"Hmmm? what should we buy then?" My attention turned again to Liam who seemed to be struggling.

"Ah, I knew it. Let's just buy two genders Jas, for baby girl and baby boy." He was very happy and started shopping. I just followed him.

"This, this, this, besides this! and this!"

I slapped my forehead because of what he was doing. Whatever is chosen.

"Attorney! What is that? Why is that?" I promise I'm still laughing.

"Don't argue Jas, I'll take care of it. I'll pay for it." He said proudly. Wow huh? All right.

he was finally done with what he got. I don't know what he bought, as in too much. The lawyer is a big deal. I don't know how many children I will give birth to or if he has plans to build a market specially made for babies. haha

He was about to pay when he suddenly looked at me.

"Ah, Jas?" He hesitated.

"Why? Pay now, the person is waiting." I said at the same time sniffing the cashier's hand that was already outstretched.

"That's it, hehehe. I forgot my wallet." He bit his lip. I closed my eyes tightly.

"What? Who's going to pay?" I stifled my laughter when I asked.

"Can you go first? B-I'll just pay you back. Hehehe." He stammered his promise. I let out the laughter I had been suppressing.

Is this really an attorney? Why forget?

"Hey! You're excited to go shopping and you don't have any money?" I pointed at him.

He bent down and scratched his head. We are looking at each other again. It's attention-grabbing because he bought so much.

I gave my card and was stopped when I got the long receipt.

Holy shit! half a million?
