Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
“Oh, right. How the heck am I supposed to tell Claire and her husband about this? They might think Ren is too old for Ruka.” Scarlet was in a dilemma.
“I don’t think there’s anything to worry about. Mr. and Mrs. Singed will be more than happy to accept this.” Angela smiled.
“I’ll have to talk to them myself. Honestly, I’m a bit embarrassed to bring this up.” Scarlet was really in a dilemma now. How am I supposed to convince my best friend to marry their young and lovely daughter to my old and single brother? I can’t do that.
“I’m counting on you, sis.” Ren wrapped his arm around her shoulder. There was a silent plea in his eyes.
Scarlet just realized Ren hid his feelings for Ruka really deep within. She didn’t even notice it for the longest time. But then they’re childhood friends, and Ruka moved in with him for almost a whole month. It’s honestly not that far-fetched that they become lovers.
“But we can’t let the public know about this, or it’ll affect the number of votes he gets,” Walter said.
Richard looked at Ren. He was trying to tell him not to drop out of the election.
Ren wouldn’t let his family down, not after they gave him their support in his relationship. Not to mention he needed to get Harold’s approval too. If he wanted his father’s approval, he had to get reelected in the coming election.
“Yeah. You and Ruka will have to wait, Ren. We’ll talk about marriage after May.” Scarlet was worried as well. “I did tell everyone she’s my goddaughter. Your rivals might use that against you if they know.”
“Yes. We can’t ruin his chances of getting reelected, so keep this between us. Don’t tell anyone.” Charlotte knew what her priorities were.
“I’ll join this election and do my best,” Ren promised.
“Why did you pass out all of a sudden, Mom?” Scarlet was worried about Charlotte.
“Oh, it’s nothing much.” Charlotte finally saw through Sophie. She told me about Ren dating Ruka on purpose just to make me think badly of Ruka. Charlotte was relieved she didn’t tell Ren to marry Sophie, or the family would eventually turn into shambles.
Angela wanted to tell her that it was all Sophie’s fault, but since Charlotte was broad minded enough not to bring it up, she was in no position to talk about it. Gotta learn to be as generous as Charlotte is.
“And pay a visit to the Singeds, Scarlet. See if they’d like to marry Ruka off to Ren?” Charlotte was really happy. She wanted to settle this as soon as possible. Hey, I’m gonna have a daughter-in-law soon. Settle all this stull ASAP.
“Sure. I’ll be going to their place in a bit, Mom.” Scarlet smiled and got up. She told Walter. “Let’s go, honcy. Richard and the others can handle things on this side.”
Walter patted Ren’s shoulder. “Leave the talking to us, Ren. We’ll handle this for you.”
“I’m counting on you, Walter.”
Scarlet and Walter left. Charlotte was in a really good mood. She pulled her blanket down and tried to get out of bed, and Ren stopped her. “Get some more rest, Mom.”
“Nope. I passed out only because I was too angry. Now I’m not angry anymore.”
A doctor came in with some meds, and a gust of breeze carried the smell of pills through the ward. Angela took a whiff of it and felt her stomach churn. She covered her mouth and retched.
Everyone looked at her. She blushed. “The smell of meds always makes my stomach churn. Sorry.”
Charlotte was looking delighted. “We’re at a hospital. Quick, see if you’re pregnant.”
Angela’s face turned even redder. She quickly waved her hands. “No. Richard and I aren’t planning on having any kids just yet.”
Richard quickly realized what was happening thanks to his great memory. There was this one time when Angela insisted on having sex with him, and they went through with it before he could get any protection on. She initiated, to say the least.
Did she get pregnant from that one time? Richard held her hand. “We’re getting you checked.”
Ren saw them off enviously, while Charlotte clapped her hands. “Yay, double the fun!”
Angela muttered, “I’m not pregnant. I don’t need this checkup.”
“Remember the time when we were in the mountains? When we did it in the car?” Richard jogged her memory.
She blushed and blinked quickly. “That can’t be possible, right?”
“Never say never. Just get the checkup and see what’s happening.” He led her to a consultation room, and the doctor prescribed a pregnancy test for her.
Angela’s heart was thumping. She leaned against the chair and recalled what happened that day, which made her blush. Richard had taken her on a hiking trip out of the blue. The view was great, and Richard looked really hot, so she went in for a little thrill.
He handed the test to her and persuaded gently, “Get tested.”
Angela went reluctantly. She wasn’t prepared to be a mother so soon, since she wanted some more alone time with Richard
She was sitting on the toilet bowl, waiting for the results to come out. After the first red line made its appearance, she stared at the second line to see if it would show up. The light was dim, and she was a little short-sighted, so she didn’t notice the vague second line. She came back out happily.
The girl even washed the test and took it out with her just to prove that she wasn’t pregnant. Angela came out of the restroom and looked at Richard.
Angela narrowed her eyes. She wanted to tease him a little. “Guess what the result is.”
Well, she looks happy, so it’s negative then. No way she’d look so delighted otherwise.
“Let me have a look.” Richard extended his hand.
“Here you go. There’s only one line.” Angela handed it to him happily.
Richard took it and had a look. His eyes widened in surprise. He had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn’t seeing the wrong thing. She said there’s only one line. But there are two here.
“Are you sure you looked at it seriously?”
“I did.” She nodded.
He handed the test back to her. “I think you inight wanna look at it again.”
Angela’s smile froze. She took it back and looked closely. “Wait. Two lines? I’m pregnant?”
Richard wrapped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her hair. “The baby’s on the way.”
Angela was amused and a little miffed. Gotta watch how wild I get next time, or I might get knocked up again.
“Well, guess my folks are gonna be really happy then.” She changed her attitude. The baby’s on its way, so I guess I’ll just roll with it.
Richard’s heart went out for her. She’s scared of injections. Labor’sgonna be hell for her.
“Wanna see if it’s a boy or a girl?”
