Filed To Story: Finding the Secret Daddy for My Baby Novel
Dinner was a sumptuous feast. Donna was a very hospitable host. She was also glad to see that despite having lost his memories, Ethan paid just as much care and attention to Josephine as ever.
Truth be told, she was worried that her son would distance himself from Josephine after his memory loss, or perhaps fall in love with another woman. Either one of these situations would undoubtedly hurt Josephine.
And, when Ethan did regain his memories, he would feel extremely guilty and remorseful as well. Thus, the best possible outcome was for Ethan to fall in love with Josephine once more and resume their relationship.
At night, the estate lit up with light. Josephine was in her room sorting out her belongings when Donna brought some clothes over for her. They were all pretty dresses from luxury brands. Due to Josephine’s line of work, she rarely wore dresses.
However, the dresses did suit the atmosphere of the place better. As Josephine lay in bed that night, she couldn’t fall asleep. Her mind was filled with thoughts of Ethan who was sleeping in the room next to hers. What’s he doing? Has he fallen asleep yet?I wish I could go over and see him! I wish I could talk to him… All of a sudden, a knock on her door interrupted her thoughts. Is someone here to give me something?
She got out of bed and opened the door to find a man in pajamas staring at her with a look of hunger in his eyes. “Can we talk?” Josephine wasn’t going to say no. While Ethan was in the hospital, the doctors dropped by often and Ethan’s family was around most of the time too, so she wasn’t able to talk to him in private. She really wanted to spend some alone time with him too
Josephine looked at Donna gratefully. Her fragile heart was filled with a sense of helplessness earlier, but Donna’s words gave her strength and made her feel secure.
Just then, a tall silhouette approached. Although he was dressed in a hospital gown and had his head shaved, his unique aura was as strong as ever. His eyes were on the two women on the couch—one of them his mother and the other the love of his life.
Ethan crouched down and greeted Donna. “Hey, Mom.” Then, he fixed his eyes on Josephine for a few seconds before he greeted her with a faint smile, “Hi.”
Josephine kept a lid on her emotions and smiled back. “Hi.”
“You’ll need to be under observation for a few more days, Ethan, and then I’ll take you home.” Donna pushed him into the seat beside Josephine. “You two talk! I’ll look for your father.”
He was a little nervous as he glanced at Josephine. In his eyes, she was like a frail little kitten—as if she would cry over a single misspoken word or unintentional misunderstanding.
“I’m sorry. My memory loss has hurt you greatly, but I know that we were deeply in love. Are you willing to let me be reacquainted with you?” Ethan had a pleading look in his eyes. His heart was telling him that he needed to get to know her again.
Josephine cast aside her sorrows too. She knew that now that things had come to this, her only choice was to face the situation head-on. There was no way she could avoid it.
“Alright. Let’s get to know each other again!” Josephine looked at him with warm, gentle eyes and held her hand out. “My name is Josephine Jacobson. I’m 25 and I currently work as an anchorwoman at a television station.”
Ethan stuck his hand out and Josephine grasped his hand at once. As they held each other’s hand, Ethan could feel the strength emanating from hers. He was studying her intently. There was something so spellbinding about her that made it impossible for him to tear his eyes off her.
I have to regain my memories of her, he thought to himself. I want to know just how much I love her.
“I’m sure you know more about me than I do,” Ethan said with a smile, though his eyes were filled with remorse.
Josephine smiled. “Yeah.”
Three days later, Ethan was discharged from the hospital. Josephine followed him back to Quarles Residence, and as she stood in front of the massive estate, she realized that she knew nothing about Ethan’s family.
They were rich beyond imagination. Josephine was struck dumb. The light of the evening sun made the dazzling estate glow even more beautifully. The rose garden, the massive Neoclassical structure, and the pretty fountain by the entrance all made the place feel as majestic as a palace.
Josephine followed Donna and the others in. Over a dozen of the household staff were waiting by the entrance to greet them.
They were observing Josephine with interest too. She was a pretty young woman standing beside Ethan, and that was enough for them to deduce that she was no ordinary guest.
As members of the household staff, they had to have in-depth knowledge of every member of the family they served. That was essential in ensuring that they could serve the family without making mistakes.
Meanwhile, Ethan felt a sense of familiarity. He tried to trace his memories as he moved through the place. He had a feeling that the spot he was heading to was the garden, and sure enough, when he got there, it was a lovely little garden. He moved toward what he felt was the bathroom, and when he arrived, it was indeed a bathroom.
Ethan was thrilled. Although he had lost his memories, he still had some behavioral memories left in him.
The household staff brought Josephine’s luggage upstairs. She saw Ethan standing by a French window and walked over to him. Ethan heard the sound of footsteps and quickly turned around. “Joey, I have a strange sense of familiarity with this place. All my instinctive assumptions were all accurate.”
Josephine was happy for him. “Perhaps this means you’ll be able to recall your memories soon.”
“I hope it’ll come back to me as soon as possible.” Ethan fixed his eyes on Josephine. “I don’t want to make you wait too long.”
After a shower, Josephine noticed the beautiful scenery outside the window, but her mind filled with the man in the master bedroom. She wondered what he was doing and wanted to see him, but then she thought of something and quickly opened the wardrobe, where she searched for a self-proclaimed sexy lingerie. As she found one, a sly glint gradually appeared in her eyes.
Although she wanted her relationship with Ethan to develop quickly, she could not be the one initiating. She had to let him take the wheel because that would pique his interest more.
While changing her clothes in the bathroom, Josephine spent some time dolling herself. Then, she looked at her reflection satisfactorily before leaving the room. Since there was no one else in the villa except that man, only he could see her in such a getup.
In the meantime, Ethan was standing on his balcony, staring at the view in the distance. The familiarity in his surroundings relaxed him, but his mind was blank, and he could not remember anything. That was disheartening because such a feeling made him vulnerable, but he was lucky to have someone who loved and tolerated him around.
He looked at his watch and saw it was already 11.00PM. A resigned smile appeared on his face as he thought Josephine might have gone to bed. Or else, he would have pulled her out of bed to talk with him. He felt most relaxed and happy when chatting with her.
At that moment, Ethan heard someone knocking, and his eyes instantly filled with joy. He quickly approached the door and opened it to see a sexily dressed but sweet-looking woman standing outside his door. Who else could it be but Josephine?
“You can’t sleep either?” He could not suppress his joy. “Can I come in?” She pointed at his bedroom, and he moved to the side. “Of course. You can even stay the night here.”
Blushing, Josephine thought the man had not lost his passion despite losing his memories. “Sure! This place is so huge. I’m afraid to sleep alone!” She immediately found an excuse so that she had a more justifiable reason to stay.
Meanwhile, Ethan’s gaze was locked on her as he looked at her shapely figure. Her long, black hair, distinct eyebrows, delicate features, red plump lips, and beautiful neck all seemed enticing to him.
She saw the cup on the table and took a few sips before saying, “The view from your balcony looks pretty too. Why don’t we enjoy the view together?”
He smiled while looking at her gently. What better view for him to enjoy than her? Suddenly, he felt like he was given a second chance in life to return to her. His family was important to him, but what about her? What would she do if he had not come back? And would he bear to leave her alone in this world?
While thinking of that, Ethan felt his heart rapidly beating as he moved toward her. Josephine was enjoying the view when she suddenly felt the man hugging her from behind. His arms wrapped around her waist, and his lips landed on her head. Then, he sighed.
She relaxed her body and leaned against his arms, enjoying the hug. At that moment, he suddenly began panting, and she could feel the familiar testosterone. Feeling her cheeks warming up, she turned around to lean into his arms. Then, she stood on her tiptoes and held his face to kiss him.
“Can I?” he asked in a raspy voice. She looked at him with hazy eyes. “I’m already yours.”
Afterward, he picked her up and brought her to the large, gray bed. The light dimmed as the temperature inside the room rose. The sun rose, and the two embracing figures stayed asleep, unwilling to part. When Josephine opened her eyes, she saw a pair of amber eyes looking at her and felt so embarrassed that she hid her head in his arms.
Ethan lowered his head to kiss hers. “Last night was great.” It was then that Josephine suddenly thought of something. She initially planned to buy some morning-after pills since he did not have any condoms last night, but at that moment, she held that thought and decided to let nature run its course! Now that she had recognized him as the one, having a baby would only complete their relationship.
That afternoon, he brought her to the city center for lunch. Then she received a call. “Hello?”
“Joey, where are you now? Your grandfather fell ill. Can you come home now?”
“What? What happened?” “Your grandpa… has a heart condition, and it’s quite serious. Come home, quick!” Heidi urged.
Tears began forming in Josephine’s eyes while she replied, “Okay, Mom. I’m on my way back.” Then she looked at Ethan and told him, “Eeth, I need to return home. My grandpa fell ill.” “I’ll come with you.”
“But your-”
