Mummy, Daddy is on his knees

The servants gwak worriedly at Olivia who just ran out of the dining room for the second time in the last five minutes, their boss wasn’t around at the moment to handle the situation..

They all scurried off to resume their works as soon as they heard Olivia’s footsteps approaching the dining room again..

Her face was pale and her eyes looked tired, a lazy yawn left her lips afterwards..

“ma’am are you alright?”

Olivia diverted her attention to the middle aged lady standing opposite her, she managed to give a nod accompanied with a smile just to assure her that everything was alright..

Her eyes fell on the varieties of dishes on the table seeking attention. But unfortunately, her stomach protested against the meals she was offered..

Her phone screen lit up where it lay on the dining table. She picked it up and left the dining room to answer it since the food served smelt funny to her..

Meanwhile..

Damien sighed in relief when she answered his call at the first two rings, he sank back on his chair to relax his back..

“Are you alright Olivia? i heard from the head maid that you don’t look so good”

Olivia closed the door behind her and moved around the room grasping every of her things. She forced a chuckle to put his mind at ease..

“Of course not! my stomach was simply reacting to the food I ate last night. I knew I shouldn’t have eaten that large amount of shrimps.”

Last night she had a sudden urge to eat whatever her hand could grab in the fridge. The memory was too blurry to recall what exactly made her stomach react that way..

“You sound tired Olivia. Are you sure you are alright? I can come over-

“No really! I’m good. I’m just grabbing my stuffs lingering around. I’m about to leave”

Damien’s face fell at her last sentence, he wished she could stay for a few more days. Ever since Olivia and Kelvin’s first stay at his villa, he realized how lonely he had been all of these time he had stayed alone.

“Can’t you just stay for one more night?”

Olivia picked up her purse and left the room “I’d love to but as you know, Kelvin will be furious at me again”

Damien sighed in defeat, he took a brief glance at the door which creaked opened a little. Bella’s head popped in while her body stayed hidden behind the almost closed door..

“Boss you sent for me”

“Yeah. I found an error in the data you sent to my mail. get your PC and come over in the next five minutes” He gave his order.

He didn’t wait to see or get her response before he turned his swerving seat to the large floor to ceiling window behind him..

“So when next will you come visit? I possibly can’t spend the whole week without your presence and of course Kelvin too”

“That depends though. It depends on my boss’s mood”

Hardin jerked up to his feet the moment he heard the sound of a car pulling over. No doubt that was Alexa. She was finally back home.

He had been waiting patiently for her to come back home so that he can sought things out between them.

Alexa had misunderstood him. And he had to clear his name from whatever Clarissa had made her believe about her pregnancy.

Hardin was tempted to run down to meet up with her but he protested against that thought. He made a decision to take things slow..

Few minutes passed by and no sign of her approaching, he moved closer to the balcony and took a look down at the black car parked in front of the building.

From the looks of it, it seemed like no one was in the car.

After a minute, some murmurs and feet dragging on the floor got his attention, his grip on the railings tightened when the two figures appeared before him..

Chris appeared with a drunk Alexa who was making a little protest to move. One of his arm encircled her slender waist holding her weight up to himself.

Her head was dipped down while her black hair was all messy and out of place..

“Hey we are almost there-

Chris raised his head up when Alexa’s black purse was snatched out of his hold by a furious young man standing in front of him..

“I will take it from here” Hardin’s chilly tone seconded..

He detached Alexa off Chris’s hold holding her to himself possessively..

“She is drunk and she had entrusted me to get her home safely. You are the reason she is in this state and I won’t let her down by allowing you take advantage of her drunken state” Chris spoke. His tone rising with each word he spat out.

“It’s you who I don’t trust MR! I will take care of her, you might leave now. Or have you forgotten the rule which applies only to you? No men aside from me is allowed two feets away from her door or furthermore inside her apartment”

Chris was left speechless, his eyes fell on Alexa who clinged onto Hardin like her life depended on him, she might be in a drunken state, but that doesn’t mean she couldn’t identify her surroundings or who was standing next to her..

Hardin searched Alexa’s purse for her key, and when he found it, he inserted it into the keyhole until it made a click..

He casted Chris a mocking gaze “It’s totally fine if you want to spend the night right there. You can help at least by guarding the door for us while we sleep”

A squeal resonated from Alexa’s lips after she was swiped off her feet by Hardin.

He took two steps into the room before shutting the door close with his left leg.

“P-put me dow-n! I’m not your baby- Clarissa is p-pregnant with your b-baby!” Alexa’s words slurred. She pounded against Hardin’s chest with her fist.

Hardin paid deaf ears to her protests till he got into her room, he lay her gently on the bed and took off her heels.

“You troublesome lady! why did you choose to get drunk tonight? what if I wasn’t around? that loser friend of yours might have taken advantage of your drunken state!” He scolded.

Alexa shifted uncomfortably on the bed. She suddenly sat up shocking him with both hands placed on her mouth.

Hardin’s eyes grew large and before he could move away, she threw up on his body..

Bianca and Sandy exchanged gazes at the table. Their eyes fell back on Olivia who was so carried away sniffing her orange juice rather than drinking it.

“Uh honey are you alright? you’ve been sniffing literally everything on the table”

Olivia lifted her head to the two peering at her confusedly.

“I really don’t want to eat anything. I prefer to sniff them for now”

Bianca’s brows arched, Whatever Olivia was up to was certainly weird.

Last night she had caught Olivia having chicken and popcorn in the middle of the night. And when she asked the obvious question, she was scolded for no good reason.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

Olivia raised the mug to her nose once more sniffing the steam oozing out of it..

However, Bianca’s attention was drawn to the latter’s finger. A deep frown etched on her forehead before it turned to a look of disbelief..

“No way!”

Olivia and Sandy were startled by Bianca’s sudden yell.

“What is-

“That’s an engagement ring aunt! Mr Sterling already proposed to Olivia!”

Sandy’s gaze was drawn towards the ring and when she confirmed that it was indeed an engagement ring, a squeal left her lips..

“Finally! my baby is taken”

Olivia chuckled, it had almost slipped her mind. Her condition lately had been a little harsh on her.

After she got home the previous day, she never left her room, because she didn’t want her mum to find out about her constant throw up..

The latter might get worried and force her to see a doctor. Nothing was wrong with her and she knew it.

“He proposed to me last night, I’m surprised you both are just finding out about it. It’s literally on the news”

The doorbell rang diverting their attention, they stared at one another before Bianca took the initiative to go get it..
