Chap 53

It's been an hour since we got home. It was also that long since I secretly watched Valjerome and the woman downstairs from the second floor where I was standing. Jaime was also there. Based on what I see, it looks like the woman is very close to them.

I bit my lower lip when Valjerome smiled at her, then lowered his gaze to her tummy. Even though I was far away, I could see his gentle stare there. I feel like my stomach became hollow.

Elle...

That's her name. When Valjerome introduced him to me earlier I immediately felt fidgety. I admitted I waited for something else he would say next; whether she is his friend, a co-worker, a partner or... the mother of his future child. But that didn't come. I'm also not sure if I'll be able to hear it in case he confirms my suspicion so I immediately bid goodbye and said that I would take Erom upstairs to rest.

I exhaled deeply and decided to go back to my room with a heavy heart. I want to rant, sulk, or shout.
