Filed To Story: A Sacrificial Lambs Unexpected Marriage
At this moment, the phone lit up and there was a call.
It was Raven
Oriana did not have any surprises. His call was not unexpected.
“Hello, Mr. Domino,”
Oriana said into the phone.
Raven’s low-pitched voice quickly passed over. “Is North asleep?”
“Yes. It’s so late. Aren’t you supposed to be resting?”
“I’m downstairs.”
Oriana stood up and walked to the window. She opened the curtains and saw that a silver Maybach was parked quietly outside the courtyard gate.
“I heard that you’re leaving tomorrow. I want to ask for your help,”
Raven said in a low voice.
“I’m listening, Mr. Domino.”
“From today onwards, I won’t leave, I will accompany North and the child. I was not there when she was pregnant for the first time. This time, I will not leave her alone. But as it stands, I have no suitable excuse to approach her. I was afraid that she would be on guard against me, but instead, it would be self-defeating. I thought about a way out. You’ll introduce me to North as the personal driver you found for her. That way, she’ll be at ease around me.”
Raven, a driver?
Oriana knew that Raven would surface sooner or later. When she left, Oriana was confident that Raven would take her place and accompany North and her child forever.
North was pregnant for the first time, and he was not there.
Now that North was pregnant for the second time, he would not leave again.
When a woman was pregnant, she needed her partner frequently beside her.
“Okay,”
Oriana nodded in agreement.
“By the way, I don’t plan to use Raven anymore. I’ll be called Jeffrey in the future.”
Deacon told Oriana that after North left, Raven had burnt the Domino family’s mansion to ashes. Oriana’s heart finally calmed down. She replied calmly, “Alright, Jeffrey.”
The next morning.
Regarding the “driver,”
North did not agree. “Oriana, thank you for your kindness, but I still don’t need a driver. And he’s even a man. It’s weird for me to be in such close proximity with a man.”
Oriana worked hard to help North psychologically. “North, you are not alone. You’re a pregnant woman. Your belly will slowly grow, and it will not be convenient for you to move around in the future. You still have to go to the hospital for a maternity checkup. You have to go every week. Besides, you live alone. Jeffrey is familiar with your brother. He is still your brother’s friend. We are not here with you, so just allow him take care of you. That way, we can rest assured that you’re safe.”
Oriana’s persuasion was so painstaking, and North was moved. “But why did he decide to be my driver?”
“Because… The thing is Jeffrey’s family is undergoing some financial difficulties, and he needs money urgently. My brother and I promised to give him a generous reward. We are all acquaintances. We all had already reached an agreement. If you refuse, you’ll be leaving everyone embarrassed.”
After listening to Oriana’s convincing words, North finally agreed. “Alright then.”
Oriana and her brother had their own things to do, so she could accept this as a way to buy them peace of mind.
“That’s great, North. Jeffrey is already here. Now, let him take you to the hospital to create a card for the birth checkup,”
Oriana muttered as she pushed North out.
The gate of the courtyard was squeaked open. North saw the tall and handsome figure outside. Raven had arrived early.
Today, Raven was wearing a black trench coat and a pair of gold spectacles on his beautiful face. He had waited for a long time. The golden light plated the warmth of his body, making people unable to look away.
North recognized Raven at a glance. It turned out that he was her brother’s friend.
“Jeffrey!”
Oriana called out.
Raven quickly raised his head. He walked over to them, and his gentle gaze fell on North’s body.
North waved and said, “Hello.”
“Hello,”
Raven replied.
Oriana quickly said, “North, Jeffrey has come to pick you up. Hurry up and go to the hospital. I’m leaving too.”
Raven opened the front passenger’s door very gently.
However, North did not get in the car. She looked at the Maybach and then moved to Oriana’s side in small steps.
“How come he drives a luxurious car when he’s broke?”
She whispered into Oriana’s eyes.
Oriana smirked and responded, “The Maybach doesn’t belong to him. He rented it!”
“Oh,”
North nodded.
Oriana let out a sigh of relief. Fortunately, North believed her.
At this moment, she heard North say, “Oriana, the watch on his wrist seems to cost a lot of money.”
“That’s fake,”
Oriana quickly replied.
“However, the fabric on his body is also very expensive. If you look at it properly, you’ll notice that it’s a customized outfit. Also, he has an extraordinary and personable demeanor. He looks like a rich man.”
North became more and more suspicious.
Oriana realized that she was being too careless. She should have informed the rich Raven in advance to keep a low profile.
After all, North was born in the upper class and had access to a lot of luxurious properties. She could easily tell if someone had money or not.
Oriana quickly let out a low cough and explained palely, “North, you’re reading it wrong. These are all fake. Let’s not pay attention to them. Hurry up and go to the hospital.”
Oriana pushed North into the car.
North pondered for a moment, then she said, “Oriana, I’ll take you to the airport.”
“That’s not necessary. I’ll have someone else take me.”
Oriana winked playfully.
North turned her head and saw that a Rolls-Royce Phantom was already parked in the alley behind. A tall and sturdy man stood beside the luxury car.
Oriana ran to Deacon’s side. Deacon took advantage of the situation and held her slender waist. While she was in Deacon’s embrace, Oriana looked back and waved at North.”Bye, North.”
The Armstead family disappeared from sight.
When Raven got into the car, he saw North staring at the rearview mirror reluctantly. She stared at the direction Oriana had taken. He reached out and fastened her seat belt. “Stop looking, ma’am. They’re all gone.”
North retracted her gaze and looked at Raven. She didn’t know if it was her illusion, but she felt that the driver seemed a little unhappy.
When she arrived at the hospital, North received a maternity checkup. At this time, she was already four months pregnant and could have her first 4D color doppler ultrasound.
The four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound could clearly see the baby in her womb. North had been excited about this for a long time.”
“North, it’s your turn.”
At this moment, the nurse called out.
“Okay.”
North quickly stood up and walked into the 4D ultrasound room.
Because Raven had been with North the entire time, the nurse blushed and stared at Raven with a sweet smile. “Dad, you can go in together.”
North suddenly halted. Dad?
She wondered who the nurse was referring to.
North looked back and saw that Raven had followed behind her.
“Jeffrey, just wait for me outside,”
North instructed. She felt a little awkward. She couldn’t understand why he followed behind her.
Raven reached out and took her bag. He said righteously, “This is my job. I’ll be watching you every step of the way, so I can’t stay back.”
North was dumbfounded. Jeffrey seemed like a caring and dedicated driver, and it really made it impossible for her to refuse.
At this moment, the doctor said, “What are you guys doing? Take off your shoes and lie down. Don’t you want to see the baby anymore?”
