Chapter 71
“This is your sister Anita” Mr. Brown said just as the shock registered on Anita’s face
“She knows” Emily said immediately “She has always known”
“How? How have you always known” Mr. Brown asked but Anita wasn’t paying attention to him.
Angry, Anita charged towards Emily and grabbing her by her arm “What the hell do you think you’re doing”
“You’re pregnant for Ethan’s baby, my husband”
“You don’t even love him” Anita cried out
“It doesn’t matter” Emily said “You crossed the line and you don’t expect me to just sit and watch you do that, you underestimate me a lot”
“You’re pregnant?” Mr. Brown voiced out but Anita only spared him a brief glance “Stay out of this dad” she said turning back to Emily and moving a step closer to her in a threatening manner
“So what are you going to do about it now? I’m pregnant with your husband’s baby and so what?”
Emily stared back, feeling her anger totally engulf her when Anita’s phone started ringing out loudly when she looked at her phone, she smiled at Emily
“Well guess who’s calling” she smiled before taking the phone to her ears
“Hey Ethan” she said into the receiver, then she turned back to Emily “Emily’s here, trying to tell on me to my father” she was barely able to complete her sentence when the line went dead and in less than five minutes, Ethan’s car was driving to the Brown Estate.
“That was fast” Anita said, rushing to Ethan side but he totally ignored her going straight for Emily.
“Can we talk?” he asked and she turned away from him, attempting to walk away but he caught hold of her hands before she had the chance to do so.
“Emily please” he pleaded.
“What about Anita?” Emily asked and Ethan raised a confused brow sparing Anita a confused glance while she stared at them quite furiously
“What about her?” Ethan asked “This has nothing to do with Anita, this has everything to do with me and you”
“It has everything to do with her, she ruined our wedding, she ruined both of our weddings because she’s clearly obsessed with you, can’t you see it? And she’s pregnant, with your child Ethan. You slept with her while you were married to me”
“It was a mistake Emily” Ethan said, pleading but Emily was unrelenting as she rolled her eyes
“A mistake?” Anita piped in with a scoff “So what’s going to happen with my child, Ethan”
This time Ethan turned to face Anita “I’m going to take care of the child and be very much present as you allow but I want nothing to do with you, I love Emily”
“Right!” Anita rolled her eyes, her voice breaking as she felt tears sting her eyes and she pulled back walking away while her father walked out after and Ethan turned back to Emily.
“Let’s go home Emily, please” he pleaded
She looked at him, unsure of what to say but she nodded her head “Only because I really need to”
She walked ahead of him to his car and by the time they were both settled in the car, Ethan asked “Why are you here anyways?”
“I came to meet my father because I know it’s the last thing Anita would want” she replied
“Emily, can we talk about this please”
“No” she said simply, suddenly feeling dizzy again, the same way she felt at the wedding “I’m tired”
The rest of the car ride was quiet as Emily turned the windows down, allowing the breeze blow gently on her face when a slow realization dawned on her, and it was so quick it grabbed her by her throat unwilling to let go.
She was late, her period was late by two weeks and she hadn’t realized.
“Damn” she thought before turning to Ethan “Can you make a quick stop at the pharmacy”
“Do you feel okay?” Ethan looked at her concerned.
“I’m fine, just do it okay and don’t ask anymore questions and don’t follow me either” she said to him. Quickly she jumped down from the car when Ethan stopped at the car and she made a beeline straight to the pharmacy and got a couple of pregnancy strips that she shoved into her bag, her heart pounding so fast it nearly fell out of her chest.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
By the time, they made it home Emily was a bunch of nerves. Could she be pregnant? If she was who was the father? How could she be sure when she slept with both brothers in the span of a week.
“This can’t be happening to me” she said repeatedly to herself, the distractedness on her face when Ethan suddenly tapped her.
“We’re here” he said pulling her out of her toxic train of thoughts.
“oh” she said simply and when she tried to highlight from the car, Ethan pulled her back, his blue eyes deeply searching hers trying to find clues or answers to what could be on her mind but he found none and it frustrated him. He needed to know what was on her mind, did she still want him? Was she ever going to forgive him? He messed up and he knew but how on earth was he supposed to know Anita would get pregnant, how could he not see how cunning she had always been.
“Are you okay?” Ethan asked to what he felt was like the umpteenth time and like every other time Emily gave a vague answer.
“I’m fine” she said again. She got down from the car, walking far ahead of him to the elevator. Emily made her way to the bathroom immediately and she took out the pregnancy strips, her hands shaking nervously as she held it on her hands to carry out the instructions on the test.
She waited
One minute
Two minutes
Three Minutes
Four Minutes
Five minutes
She paused, unwilling to look at the strip whatever the results might say. She didn’t want to be pregnant, not right now.
Eventually she picked it up, her eyes half open and when she looked at it, her heart seized and her hands suddenly went cold. The dizziness returned as she looked at the double lines on the strip.
“No no no no” she cried repeatedly, the confusion seizing when she suddenly heard Ethan’s footsteps approaching but it was too late to hide it as he barged in
“Emily are you ” he walked in suddenly, his eyes immediately connecting to the pregnancy on her hands and seeing the two bright red lines and his jaw dropped, staring from the strip to her repeatedly.
“Emily are you are you pregnant?”
