Chapter 23.

“We should visit the doctor as soon as possible, Blair, I don't want to wait anymore.”

Oh my God!

No, we can't.

And what will the doctor do for us?

“We can have my sperm and your egg fertilized together, and then return to your uterus.”

What!

I was so shocked.

I've never heard of this before.

“Calm down, Baby. The doctor has already assured us that nothing is wrong with me. We can…”

“Come on, little dove,”

He placed his hands on my shoulders.

“You have no idea how much I yearn for another child. Harris is a grown-up already, I don't want to die and entrust all that I've worked hard for to him. Harris is selfish, he isn't going to handle the properties well.”

Ahhh!

This isn't right.

I can't do that,

I don't want to get pregnant for him.

“Please think about this, okay?”

He pecked me and left.

Q

Gosh,

Now I am being pushed into another worry.

What does Fredrick want me to do now?

Agree to his suggestion?

No,

Urrgh,

This is all because of these stupid people.

“Blair, aren't you guys excited that you will be having a grandchild?”

What da heck!

Who said she can enter my room without my consent first?

“Did Fredrick leave because he was embarrassed that his child got me pregnant?”

She laughed.

“Well, there is nothing to be embarrassed about,”

She rubbed her flat tummy.

“I am so excited that I will be the first to give birth in this house. And when that happens, my child will be next in line as the son of an heir.”

Pfft.

Jessy is out of her mind.

She thinks Frederick would allow that to happen?

“Well, your child can be the sole heir to his father’s property, the one Fredrick would give him. But…”

A mischievous grin appears on my face.

“My children will inherit the biggest part of their father’s wealth, Jessy. So, I suggest you and your husband should calm down and have another thought.”

She frowned, hissed, and stormed out of the room.

Phew!

Good riddance.

A WEEK LATER

Those two seem to be over the moon because of the pregnancy.

They have been causing commotion in the house in the name of expecting a child.

Buying all sorts of unnecessary things for a child which they don't know its gender yet.

Well, that is none of my business,

Let's see if he would give me back my estate.

“Are you nuts?”

Harris snapped the moment I asked for the document.

“She thinks she can control you, baby.”

Jessy laughed.

I know they won't give me that, I just wanted to see their reaction first before doing the next thing on my mind.

Something that would make him regret not handing over that estate to me.

“Do you think I am a fool to give back what I love so much?”

Pffft.

“Does that mean you love the estate more than your wife?”

Jessy scoffed.

“How can he love an estate more than me? You must be dreaming.”

She hissed.

“Yes, I do.”

Hahahahaha.

“What does that mean, baby? You can't say that.”

Jessy scolded him.

But he kept on talking.

“Nothing in this world surpasses the amount of love I have for that estate.”

“What!”

Jessy gasped shockingly.

“That is the truth, Jessy, I love that estate even more than I love my life.”

“I can't believe this!”

She cried out.

“I didn't know you preferred material things more than me.”

Interesting.

“Of course, I do love you, but not as much as I love my property.”

Wonderful!

Now that I have caused a fight among them, I turned and left.

Even in the room, I could hear them arguing in the living room.

Next time, Jessy was crying,

And the next time, Harris was stumping down the stairs.

This feels so good.

But I can't get excited over their fight,

I need to think of a way forward,

It is time for me to talk to Fredrick about what I want.

And when he returned from the company in the evening, I brought up the topic.

“I am ready for my gift, baby. And I know what I want.”

After he was done dressing up, he came to the bed.

“I will give you whatever you want when you get pregnant.”

Uhn?

We can't do that,

“But you said I should say whatever I want that day and…”

“Listen, Blair,”

Why does he like calling me by my name these days?

Is the affection already fading?

“From now on, I have decided not to give you anything anymore until you become pregnant. Let us focus on making a baby first, okay?”

No,

This can't happen.

Fredrick is trying to obstruct me from taking my revenge on Harris.

I won't allow that to happen,

Gosh!

Maybe I should have chosen among the companies when he mentioned it a few weeks ago.

Now I am left with nothing,

And my revenge will cease because I can't give him a child.

“Little dove?”

He tried holding me by the waist, but I shifted.

“What is it? Are you upset because I won't give you what you want?”

“Yes. I have given Harris the estate you gave me,”

“And it was your choice, I didn't force you to.”

“But I did that just for peace to reign. And you promised to give me anything I want in exchange for that. Why are you denying me now?”

“It's simple, I will give you anything you want as far as you can conceive for me. Is it too much to ask?”

Great!

Angrily,

I stepped down from the bed and left the room.

This can't happen, not now.

I really need to make Harris angry and wish he hadn't taken the estate from me.

But Fredrick isn't helping at all,

All he wants is a kid.

And I can't do that,

I am not here for that.

“Do you need anything, ma’am?”

A maid asked when I went down the stairs.

“No.”

I sat down on the sofa and folded my arms.

This has really upset me and at the same time, I am worried.

If this continues, which I know it will,

Then I will be coerced to leave this marriage early and try my revenge another way.

“Blair?”

What now.

“Why did you vacate the room?”

I ignored him.

“I am talking to you. Is it because I refused to give you what you want?”

Yet I ignored him.

“Blair, stop acting like a baby!”

His voice is loud now.

The moment I turned around, Jessy was standing on the stairs and she was smiling mischievously.
