78. Skyler is pregnant
78 ( Skyler is pregnant )
Mason sat on the bed next to Skyler, he held her hand and stared at her sleeping face.
“I’m sorry beautiful, I neglected you because I was so busy with work, I should have known,” he said painfully and kissed her knuckles tenderly just to ease the tightness of his chest.
Mason spent the rest of the night, watching over Skyler that he didn’t know when he dozed off.NôvelDrama.Org content.
The next morning, Skyler slowly opened her eyes and the first thing her gaze caught was the unfamiliar ceiling then someone holding her hands.
She slowly turned to her side and she saw Mason dozing off.
“Mason” she called softly and he immediately opened his eyes in an alert way.
His eyes softly when he saw Skyler was awake.
“Good morning beautiful” he raised her knuckles and kissed them.
“Why am I here? What happened?” She asked with a confused look.
“You passed out last night” he replied.
“Huh? What about the show? Oh no? I’m so sorry, I’m sorry” she began apologizing but Mason caught her off by planting a kiss on her lips.
He pulled away after a few seconds.
“You did well, don’t worry, you did great,” he said with a soft smile.
Skyler smiled but suddenly paused when she remembered something. She immediately put her hand around her stomach and felt it.
“My baby? What about my baby?” She asked in a trembling voice and Mason gave her a kind of look.
“What do you mean? You know about the baby?” He looked at her like he couldn’t believe his eyes.
It was now Skyler who realized what she had done. She didn’t know what to say anymore.
“I.. I… I was gonna tell you” she stuttered with a nervous look.
Mason slowly removed his hands from hers and stood up.
“You knew? Are you trying to tell me that you’ve been with me for up to was it even a month or weeks and you’ve been pregnant for my child and you didn’t bother telling me anything?” He gave her a surprised look.
“What do I even mean to you, for you to keep such from me?” The disappointment was written in Mason’s voice.
Skyler gulped, she was about to talk when the door opened and Kiara stepped in.
“Skyler” she immediately ran in and hugged Skyler tight.
Skyler bit her lips and hugged her mom back but when she turned back, she saw Mason leaving.
Kiara pulled away and looked back.
“Why did he leave?” She asked slowly.
“Mom I think Mason is angry with me because I had my pregnancy from him for weeks” Skyler stared at Kiara with teary eyes.
“Don’t cry now, come here” Kiara hugged Skyler to herself.
“I was gonna tell him I swear, I just wanted to wrap up with that sales party at first. Mason loves holding grudges against people that hurt him, he’s never gonna speak to me again and it’s all my fault” Skyler resumed crying again.
The door opened, and Ashely and Wendy stepped in.
“Aunt, Skyler!!” Wendy was the one who shouted, she was holding a thick blanket while Ashley was holding all the food they prepared.
Skyler pulled away from Kiara and wiped her tears.
“Here you go Aunt” Wendy passed the thick blanket to Kiara before looking around.
“Where is your husband Skyler?” She asked.
“He had to rush over for some work” Skyler replied and Ashely squeezed her face in a type of way.
“He still thinks of work when you’re in this condition? Hello, doesn’t he know you’re pregnant?” Ashely frowned her face and before the talk about Mason could start, Kiara sneezed.
“Oh my, here’s your coffee aunt, please drink it while it’s hot” Ashely immediately opened the basket she was holding and passed a cup of coffee to Kiara.
“Thank you dear” Kiara smiled and accepted it.
“What happened, Mom? Did you sleep outside?” Skyler asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry about me, Ashely let Skyler have her soup” Kiara faced Ashely and Ashely nodded.
She brought out a bowl of hot vegetable soup and came to sit beside Skyler.
“Say ahh, eat healthy because you have a little bit you growing” Ashely pointed the spoon in Skyler’s mouth.
Skyler opened her mouth to receive the soup while Wendy came to sit beside her with a type of smile.
“Hey Skyler you’re so lucky, do you know Mason the hidden billionaire carried you in his arms yesterday?” She easily wiggled her brows.
“Don’t tease her, she already has a husband?” Ashely rolled her eyes.
Skyler only smiled inwardly but the inward smile was short-lived when she remembered Mason was still mad at her.

DELGADOS’ MANSION ★
“I’m so worried about Skyler, where have her family taken her too” Ivy couldn’t stop moving back and forth.
“Are you sure we shouldn’t go see her somehow and not even care that people might recognize us from the Delgado family” Carson muttered.
“Yeah that’s not a smart thing to do, our family is one of the most looked up families by the media especially when it comes to Mason, if they figure out that Skyler is married to the hidden billionaire then the spotlight won’t go easy on her and unlike us who’s has been brought up in the spotlight for years, Skyler won’t be able to take the pressure,” Jacob said and everyone turned to look at him.
“What?” He asked.
“It’s surprising” Edna replied and Jacob gave her a confused look.
“What’s surprising?”
“That you can talk this smart” She completed her words and Jacob rolled his eyes.
The family was in the living room, worried except for Maya.
“I just got a news about Skyler, she’s pregnant!” Grandpa Mario suddenly announced.
