For An Heir
SARAH’S POV
This new environment, pollution-free air, and daily beautiful view are something I’ve always wanted.
There is no noise from the traffic. There is no baffling crowd. Everywhere there is greenery, turquoise-green water. And beautiful flowers are blooming around.
I can see how Bella is having the time of her life, but again, missing her best friend did not go unnoticed by me.
She is missing Pam so much. Every day she does something new, and she misses her. I feel bad, but I can’t do anything right now. But I think I will speak to Sean and let Bella talk to her.
Alvera teaches her swimming and cycling, while Sean has asked his team to make a skating ground so she can learn that too.
He has been spending a good amount of time with Bella. He is always around, so all his meals he takes with us.
We still sleep in the same room on the same bed, but we don’t talk to each other unless it’s required.
I have many questions in my head, and I want to talk to him, but the way I see him running around keeps me quiet. I’m sure handling work like this won’t be easy.
As per their conversation, I heard while eating that Eric is taking care of the entire business while he is not around. He is doing as much work as he can from here, but I know it won’t be easy to work like this.
Today I have decided to talk to him after breakfast. So right now, I am waiting for him at the table while munching on my food.
Well, not munching, but relishing my food.
I am enjoying spicy food nowadays. Just thinking about anything spicy makes my mouth water. And I have noticed how keenly the doctors are keeping an eye on me. They already notice my taste, and I always have something new and yummy on my plate.
Mexican food has become my new love.
I was relishing my food when I noticed Sean enter the dining room and take a seat next to me.
As I have decided I will speak to him to get my answer, I started stuffing my food as fast as possible before he again slipped away and shut himself behind his study.
“Nobody is eating your food. Eat slowly.” I heard his voice and noticed from the corner of my eye that he took some cut fruit from the plate while the maid poured some juice for him and placed the croissant on his plate.
I instantly got embarrassed looking at my food.
All spicy but yummy for my tummy on my plate.
‘You are pregnant, and you have all the rights to fulfill all your cravings.’ My inner self reminded me. That instant, my embarrassment flew out the window, and I started eating my food with ease without bothering to reply to his comment.
But I am glad he never points out what I am eating or how much I am eating.
I was done with overeating. I took a deep breath in satisfaction and looked at Sean, who was busy on his phone.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
“Ahem, I wanted to talk to you about something.” Finally, I collected some courage and spoke.
“You have all my ears.” He spoke while eating his fresh-baked buttery croissant with one hand, and the other was holding his phone while reading something.
Sometimes I wonder how our lives would have been if he had not done that.
How we both would have been excited just by the news of having babies.
Our babies.
I blink my tears constantly, looking down and looking up again.
“Why are we here?” I finally asked.
Though I am still loving it here somehow, I don’t understand why we are here.
And the way he made all the arrangements, it feels like he was well prepared for everything ahead.
Is he trying to take my babies away from me once I give birth to them?’
Many questions were fogging my thoughts, and I wanted to clear them as soon as possible. Because no matter what, I don’t want to stress myself out.
I remember what the doctor said the other day to me when I was thinking about the same thing and my blood pressure shot up.
“Many kinds of tension or worry will lead you to lose your child. And if you want healthy babies, please eat as much as you want, walk for fifteen minutes in the morning and evening, and take a rest.”
That day, I decided to leave all the negative thoughts behind and start to concentrate on my health and
of my babies.
It’s always a thrill for me to hear the heartbeat of my babies, and looking at them on screen gives me different bubbles of happiness.
I intentionally told the doctor that I was not feeling well. Please check if the babies are alright, and when I saw my little aliens inside, it made my heart flutter.
Looking at my smile, the doctor instantly understood I was lying, which made me a little embarrassed, but thankfully he said nothing. I guess he understood my feelings.
“You don’t like it here?” He asked while giving me his full attention, keeping his phone aside.
Well, honestly, liking his place would be an understatement. I am loving this place.
Not only me, but Bella is also enjoying it thoroughly.
We have all the amenities you need to have a good, luxurious life. So, I can’t even complain about anything about this place.
“No, not like that. I mean to say, Why are we living here, not back home in New York?” My mind kept telling me it was not true.
“The answer is simple. I wanted my child to have a healthy and pollution-free environment. And when I found out you were pregnant, the first thing I did was to get you here.” He said it was not a big deal.
“So, you planned everything beforehand? If you say you arranged everything in a matter of a few hours, then sorry, I am not that stupid.” I crossed my hands to my chest after cleaning my hands with a napkin.
“First of all, darling, I am Sean Hudson, so arranging anything anywhere in the world in a fraction of an hour is no big deal for me.
The second answer to your question is, Yes, I did plan everything ahead. I wanted kids, and I was planning to have them with you or without you. But kids were surely coming into this world eventually.
And for me, the mother, and the baby, getting the best of the best in everything is very important. I wanted to have a pleasant environment for them, and I did it.” He spoke arrogantly.
I somehow felt a pang in my heart when he said he would have planned a baby, with or without me. I can see the notices too. For a fraction of a second, I saw guilt in his eyes, which vanished as if never before.
But again, from what I have heard in his office, what was that for? Wasn’t he planning all this for my property?
However, why would he do that now when I have already transferred all the property into his name? That means he wanted babies, I guess, because now I don’t see any other reason.
But again, why does he so eagerly want a baby?
“But why do you want a baby so eagerly?” I asked, narrowing my eyes.
“For an heir,” He replied, missing a beat.
As if someone had shaken me to the core, that is how I felt hearing his answer.
