Dear Ex-Wife You Are MINE (Victoria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 51

VICTORIA’S POV

“So? What next?” Jayden asked, sipping on his afternoon coffee as we sat on the porch of my new house in Paris.

This is one of Edwards’s properties under my name, one of the most beautiful locations, a little distant from the main city, yet not so far. As I don’t go out frequently, I have chosen to remain in this place and continue my daily routine.

I sipped on my green tea before turning my gaze to him.

“What next?” I am a bit confused by his words.

He sipped his coffee again and kept the coffee mug on the tea table before us, turning his whole focus in my direction.

“I am talking about your life; how are you planning to move further?” He questioned with a serious tone.

Well, as a friend of mine, I understood his concern.

I shrugged, “well, for now, I am continuing my study and enjoying the charm of life without any pressure. Later with my baby’s birth, I will move forward with him or her. I just don’t want to complicate things anymore.” I said truthfully. Frankly, I didn’t think much and decided to go with a simple plan and live peacefully.

Jayden remained silent for a while, and I sensed that something about the mood had shifted. I’m unsure if it’s because my pregnancy hormones are making me more sensitive or if a genuine change is occurring. As of late, I’ve noticed that my sixth sense has been considerably more acute, which may be a bit of an annoyance in my daily life.

“Well, what about Alessandro? Are you planning to tell him about this?” He gestured to my unborn infant.

I put down the cut before caressing my belly and shook my head. “I am not planning to go back to him. Maybe today or tomorrow, he will get to know, but that’s just the way of life. This baby is mine, and I can take care of it.”

Even though it hurts my heart to think that this child will have to grow up without a father, I am very determined with my thoughts.

As if he read my thoughts, he asked, “What about a father? Maybe not Alessandro and someone else?”

I looked up at him, and he leaned forward a little.

“I am well aware of how strong you are, Victoria, and I understand your thoughts too. Still, I believe that a child’s growth depends on the contributions of both parents. At a certain point, your baby will need a father.”

I smiled at his words. “I know, Jade; I never denied this. I am well aware of this, but that doesn’t mean I will find someone randomly as my baby’s father. I am sure time will tell what it has to hold for us in the future, but for now, I am happy with the things I have.”

The mood suddenly turned so serious as I predicted, and to lighten it, I smiled again, “and I thought you were searching for a boyfriend for me?” I wiggled my brow at him.

However, he did not reply to my playfulness but thoughtfully stared at me. “Victoria, I understand your every word; still, I am not convinced. How about I take the part I have told you before?”

“What part?” I turned, confused again.

He sat straight, looking directly into my eyes, “how about me? My question for you, Victoria Edwards, is how do you feel about me being your partner and your child’s father?

I suddenly was dumbstruck. I didn’t really think he would come up with this sudden proposal.

I stared at him, holding his gaze for some time. I couldn’t even find a way to run these words as a joke because his eyes were not giving them away; he seemed so serious.
