Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 566

Stamford University had a student population of forty thousand, which meant forty thousand unknowns and just as many uncontrollable factors. 

Not to mention the stress of juggling school and pregnancy, 

She would need a speci 

Idiet, which she wouldn’t get from the school caleteria. 

She would need time off for doctor’s appointments. 

In Lact, Austyn didn’t think a leave of nine months was enough. 

She should take the whole year off. 

School could wait. 

Kira raised her chin, defiant. The baby just told me I should continue going to school. He or she doesn’t want a university dropout for a mother.” 

Err On The Side Of Caution 

Austyn folded his anns. “I’m asking you to take some time off, not drop out of school entirely. Besics, the baby’s just an embryo at this stage Probably the size of a peanut. It doesn’t have a mouth or ears. How can it communicate with you 

“Telepathically!” Kira mimicked his body language and crossed her arms, Haven’t you heard of the special bond between mother and child?” 

Austyn was at a rane loss for words, 

The couple stood staring at each other. 

Neither was willing to yield. 

The Impasse was broken by a lock on the door. 

Austyn rubbed his throbbing temples and felt a headache coming an 

ויין 

De Lynch warned him that kira might get more sensitive, but he didn’t tell him she would also get more argumentative. 

He knew he shouldn’t quarrel with her, but staying home was for her own good 

Kira ignored the knock and kept up the staring contest. 

Austyn backed down first. 

He went to get the door. 

‘Bass, congratulations! Kai was beaming 

“What?” Austyn frowned. 

His assistant was grinning from ear to ear. 

“I heard the good news from Elsie.” Kai glimpsed Kira in the room. ‘Young Madam, congratulations!” 

“Thank you.” Kira blushed. 

News travelled fast 

It seemed that everyone in her life lew about her pregnancy. 

Wair, she had not told Glana! 

Kira hunted for her phone, 

‘Is that all you came here to say?” Austyn asked impatiently. 

‘Oh, I’ve brought the files you asked for.’ Kai held out a black briefcase. “The most urgent ones are on top, marked with a red sticker. 

Austyn rook the briefcase. I’m not heading into the office tomorrow. Tell Andrea to take a message if anyone calls. Don’t call me unless it’s something urgent.” 

‘Will do, Boss,‘ Kas had not stopped smiling 

Kira walked towards the assistant 

Kai immediately stepped aside and plastered himself against the wall 

“What are you doing? Kira looked at him quizzically, 

“To make way for you 

Kira looked at the hallway, which was wide enough for two sumo wrestlers to pass side by side. 

She rolled her eyes. ‘I’m not that fat.‘ 

Kal smiled sheepishly 

The experience of dealing with his pregnant cousin told him to never argue with a woman in the family way, 

‘Where are you going? Austyn caught her wrist. 

‘Downstairs.‘ 

“What do you need? 

“My phone. I think I left it in my bag.! 

‘Kai can get it for you. 

The assistant was already turning towards the stairs. 

Kira clenched her bars, I’m pregnant, not handicapped.” 

Austyn didn’t hear her. 

He was thinking about installing a lift in the 

the villa. 

The stair treads were made of mahogany, which could be slippery when wet. 

Kirash 

n’t be walking up and down those stairs, 

“Thank you” Kira look the phone from Kal. 

“My pleasure.” Kal was about to ask Kira how she was feeling. 

He had a younger cousin win was prepisant, 

Maybe he could share some tips with Kira. 

That a dark look from his boss told him to zip his fig 

“It there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave, Kai tumed on his heel. 

‘Good night.” Kira closed the bedronin door. 

Mostyn plucked the phone from her hand. 

“What are you doing? 

‘You shoulda’t use your phone during propuncy.” 

‘What? Why?” 

Mobile plines emitted radio waves, 

vulnerable to nutside disturbances. 

, which might affect a growing baby in utern, especially when the embryo was still in its early stages and particularly 

‘Oh.” Kira recalled reading something like that. “You low that rubbish has been debunked, right? It’s perfectly safe to use a phone while pregnant‘ Still, Austyn decided to err on the side of caution. 

He had also decided to lorg all his electronic devices–phone, laptop and tablet–out of Kira’s reach for the next nine months. 

The TV in the bedroom and the cor in the wing room downstairs needed to disappear as well 

“You’re being too careful,” Kira sald, 

‘You can never be too careful.” 

Kira could practically feel the waves of anxiety emanating from Austyn’s body. 

Getting overstrung was not 

good for either him or her. 

She sliddered at the thought of living with an uptight version of Austyn for the next thirty–five weeks. 

fine, really, Kira tried to put his mind at ease, 

She did a jumping jack. See? I’m perfectly healthy. You shouldn’t be so- 

‘Stop! Austyn pinned her arms to her sides. “Are you crazy?! 

“It’s just a little hop 

“Stop fooling around! He pulled her towards the bed and pressed her to sit down. 

Kira shrugged but did not provoke him further. 

He might have a heart attack if she told him she planned to maintain her jogging routine in the morning 

Justyn scanned the bedroom and didn’t find anything he could use 

• contemplated buying one of those leashes parents used 

od on their kids when they were out shopping. 

Kira’s request to use her phone was denied by Austyn. 

Her request to take a bath was also denied. 

Austyn allowed beraten inhude shower and threatened to break down the door if she wasn’t out by then. 

Kira came out right minutes later, having taken the fastest shower in her life, 

*Austyn was standing on the other side of the door will allow dryer in end. 

Kira set cross–legged on the soda and enjoyed the semi–professional service from her husband, 

Austyn snatched the textbook from her hand. ‘It’s almost eleven o’clock. Tipe for bed.” 

But I have a class in the morning‘ 

‘You’re not poling; anywhere Comorrow.” 

I’ll cdl the school.” 

Err On The Side Of Caumon 

He tucked her in and made sure she was safe and snug. 

‘Close your eyes and sleep.‘ 

Kira complied. 

She waited for the sound of running water from the bathroom before opening her eyes. 

She sighed. 

News 

she understood what it meant to be smothered by love. 

Austyn’s over–attentiveness was starting to make her feel uneasy. 

Call Me Mum 

Kira’s body was exhausted. 

It had been a long day. 

But she was also too keyed up to fall asleep 

Austyn had confiscated her phone and locked it in a nightstand drawer. 

Kira played with her fingers and wondered what the baby would look like. 

She hoped their child would have Austyn’s height. 

She didn’t want him or her to be called “Shortie‘ like she was during middle school. 

Austyn’s suit jacket was draped over a clair near the bed, 

It lit up and started to vibrate. 

Kira almost jumped out of her skin. 

Then she realised it was the phone 

The ringtone had changed from the classic ‘brring brring of a bell to a persistent ‘beep beep beep 

Kira waited for the call to go to volcerall, but it never did. 

The ‘beep beep beep‘ was starting to sound like pick up, pick up, pick up.” 

Kira flung the quilt aside and got out of bed. 

She hesitated before removing the phone from Austyn’s Jacket 

“I’m not snooping,‘ she said to herself. ‘What if it’s something urgent?! 

She dreaded seeing Deborah’s name on the screen. 

She didn’t. 

The number was unknown. 

And the country code was unfamiliar. 

‘Scam call?‘ Kira looked to the bathroom 

‘Austyn, your phone’s ringing! She had to shout through the door 

“Who is it?” His voice came out muffled 

“No idea. There’s no caller ID. 

Five seconds later, the sound of running water stopped.
