My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 41

I CAN SAY I am brave now. I was able to forget everything about him. The pain and suffering I left in the Philippines gave me new strength to continue what I started.

I stopped typing on the keyboard when the laptop in front of me rang.

Cindy is calling on Skype!

I answered that immediately, and her image appeared on the monitor.

“Bestie, how are you?!” she greeted me with a full smile on her face.

“I’m fine, you?”

“No worries, I’m fine.”

“How about Mom and Dad?”

“They are fine. I had dinner with them last night,” she delightedly said.

“Thank you so much, bestie.”

“No problem. Anyway, when are you going home to the Philippines?” She furrowed her brows and rested her back against the chair. She scratched her big belly. She’s also pregnant with her first child with Carrick.

“You know I want to give birth here. And it will be difficult for me to travel in my current situation. And once I have given birth, I will count three more months to travel the baby for his safety.”

I have been tired of explaining to them since I came here because they have been waiting for me to come home.

“I saw Peter last time with Jocko at the bar. You’re about to give birth. Someone needs to look at you there,” she said. Concern was evident in her voice.

I sighed, I tried to smile, but I still couldn’t help but mail in my current situation.

“He had a conference meeting there, so he left for a day. I don’t want to force him just to take care of me. He will come back here soon anyway,” I explained.

She just nodded.

“By the way, I know you don’t want to hear about him, but . . .” she paused.

She waited for what I was going to say, but when I did not speak, she continued.

“The wedding is canceled. Elliesse has a sudden project in LA, so they have to reschedule the wedding for next year. Then I heard that the two broke up before because of Elliesse’s ambition to become a famous model. Can you imagine that? Until now, it is still the reason why their wedding was canceled this year.” She rolled her eyes and shook her head.

My forehead furrowed, and I was immersed in deep thought. Was the marriage canceled because of that? It is impossible. She’s pregnant. The marriage must continue because they will have a child.

“Hey, Margaux, are you okay?”

I snapped out from my thinking and shifted on my seat uncomfortably. “Uh, yes, I’m fine.” I smiled a bit and looked away.

“I’m sorry, Margaux, I shouldn’t have mentioned him to you.” The apology was in her tone.

“No, It’s okay, don’t be. I’m getting used to it.” I trailed off. I tightened my grip on the ballpen I was holding earlier.

“Are you sure?” She raised her brows at me.

“What the heck! I was right when I was dismissed by her then. My only concern now is my baby. I am happy with my decision.” I smiled at her genuinely.

I got up to go to the refrigerator and get some fresh milk. I went back to the chaise lounge and faced her again.

“You’re right! Other guys deserve you. Look what he had done to you!” Her voice sounds irritated.
