Chapter 155 To take responsibility

"Let's eat what I've prepared. It's pretty much," she suggested. Ethan looked at the food as she stirred but it didn't look like it was edible at all. He knew pregnant women had weird cravings. "Are you sure you won't need it? I thought we could save the rest for you later?" he asked praying to the heavens that she changes her mind because he wasn't ready to eat that but she said," No it's okay. Let's eat it together."

When they went to the table, she served him his share and he couldn't help but gaze at the food. "You're not touching your food," she said as she ate her own food. Considering the way she seemed to enjoy it, he thought that it may not be tasting as terrible as it looked or smelled.

He decided to try the food but the moment he put a portion in his mouth, he felt like throwing up that instant. "Isn't it nice?" she asked enthusiastically and he nodded not wanting to disappoint her. But he regretted why he had done that when she added more food on his plate.

Left with no option, he started eating the food trying his best to maintain a neutral face. First it was so spicy, so salty and had an irritating scent. With every portion he ate, he would drink almost half a glass of water. As he was still struggling with the food, as if answering his prayers Bella went to pee and he used this opportunity to empty his plate in the bin and lied that he had eaten it all when she came back.

After showering, Ethan joined her in bed and she said," I wanted to speak to you about something." "Anything wrong?" he asked worriedly. "I'm fine. Graham called me today speaking about Roman agency." "And?" he urged her to continue. "We talked and after thinking about it I decided to go back. He gifted it to me and I need to take responsibility. There's no way I could refuse."

Taking in a deep breath, he said," I understand and I have no problem with that but I think you should join back after giving birth." "I don't think I should wait that long. As we suggested, the moment I make six months I will take a leave. But I need to make sure it's stable when my maternity leave reaches. I promise not to overwork. "

She looked at him with pleading eyes well knowing he wouldn't refuse her. "Okay but I still think it's a bad idea," he said hesitantly and she got up then started raining kisses all over his face while muttering," Thank you, I love you, you're the best." Bella decided to take back the company considering the fact that Graham had bought it for her in the first place. Leaving it would be rude and mean which she didn't want.

A month later.....

In the afternoon, Abigail and Luna had decided to go out for lunch since Abigail wasn't in the country for a long time and she thought they had a number of things to catch up on. She reached first and ordered for some snacks while she waited for Luna and not long after, she came.

"Let me hope I didn't make you wait for so long," she said as soon as she reached the table. "Not at all. I had just arrived a few moments back. How are you, you're glowing," she said making her blush. "You're glowing too. So tell me when we should hope for a baby," said Luna. "Not now. We actually agreed with Drake to give it a year or two so that we can first prepare ourselves and all that," she replied. "To prepare yourselves for what exactly?" she asked. "You very well know that being a parent isn't that easy and given my career, I have to first prepare myself mentally for that."

She nodded in understanding. Just then, Abigail's phone rang and it was Ciara calling,

"Ciara, it's been a while." "Indeed. How are you Abigail?" she asked. "I'm fine. I'm honestly surprised that you called me. Is there anything you wanted?" She became silent before saying," Honestly, I called because I am bored. The truth is ever since my pregnancy started showing I stopped going out with my friends because I don't want it to be known publicly and I know that they are not reliable. So most of the time I stay home bored, having no one to hang out with. So in case you're free, I will appreciate it if you tell me and we hang out together for sometime." Oh, Abigail didn't know what to say until her mind came up with something," Okay I will tell you when I get some free time."

"Was that Ciara Roberts?" asked Luna the moment she hung up. "Yes, she was saying that she got no friends to hang out with and she's bored." After a moment, she said," You can call her over, I don't mind." Abigail was abit surprised and asked," You wouldn't mind her company?" "Not at all. So long as she has no problem with me I don't have any with her." With that, Abigail called and informed her the restaurant she should come to but she didn't inform her that she was with Luna.
