Ouch! my ceo fiancé fell for his maid by Lisa alman novel Chapter 110

110- Leigh

(21 years ago) Third Person pov: "Leigh! Come here." The owner of the furniture shop was a lady in her thirties, called Leigh.

"Hey, Sandy." Leigh took off the scarf from the lower half of her face and wiped the sweat from her smooth forehead with the back of her hand.

"Are you visiting the doctor?" she asked Leigh, pointing towards her belly," Are you taking your prenatal vitamins?"

Leigh rubbed her belly fondly. She was four months along and now her belly had started protruding a little bit.

"Yeah, Sandy. Thanks to you." She thanked her employer who had been helping her with finances during this hard time.

"Oh, it’s nothing. I haven't called you here for your thankyous. There is something serious we need to discuss."

Leigh frowned and took the other seat, wiping her hands with a cloth.

"You need to go," Sandy announced without beating about the bush.

"What?" Leigh's head snapped up.

"It's not permanent, silly," Sandy scolded her, "the paint fumes. They are harmful to the baby. I can't take risks." "B...But Sandy. H...How I will..." "I understand, Leigh. Don't worry. I will still take care of the medical bills and your prenatal. But the hospital admission for the baby's delivery must be paid by you. I am trying to do whatever is possible for me.” "I know, Sandy. And I am thankful. B...But there are other things to take care of." Oh my God! What would she do now? She could not afford to lose this job.

"Listen, Leigh." Sandy leaned forward propping her elbows on the desk," Where is the father? Ask him to take some responsibility.” 'This pregnancy. It just happened... by accident. He can't afford it with his current job." Now Leigh was rubbing her palms on her lap in nervousness.

"I understand. But he can't step back from this responsibility. As a soon-to- be mom, you are also trying. Right? Why can't he, as a soon-to-be dad?" after that Sandy went quiet as if hesitating a bit.

"Leigh. Is the father still there in your life? I mean... I hope he hasn't left you

"Oh... No," Leigh shook her head giggling, "he hasn't left me. He is there.

But stays out of the city due to his job nature."

By now, Leigh had started fidgeting her fingers on her lap.

'Talk to him, girl. Once this baby will be delivered, I will take you back with open arms. But we can't risk the baby’s health."

Leigh tucked her upper lip between her teeth and stood up. She knew this moment would come up, once the pregnancy would be known. But that was too soon. Sandy was a caring employer, but she was not wrong when she said that the baby needed to stay safe.

***

Eighteen years old Leigh Walters came back from her furniture painting job and unlocked her dinky apartment. She was missing Ashton like anything.

Last time, she was so scared when she told him about her pregnancy. He was so particular about precautions because he didn't want a baby. He was struggling in his life. He had no one except Leigh.

But the moment, Leigh told him that she was pregnant, his face broke into a big smile.

"Really. You have made me a happy man.” He hugged her and made slow love to her that day. She was a beautiful woman and the first time Ashton saw her, he could not keep it inside his pants. He was tall, smart, and funny. He knew how to spoil a girl without spending money.

By making love to Leigh, cleaning her apartment, sharing simple meals with her, and staring at her face like she was the most beautiful woman in his life.

He used to work outside the city as a car mechanic and didn't have any proper place to keep Leigh with him. He could not stay with her either as his bread and butter depended on his mechanic job. He needed to concentrate on his work. He could not find enough opportunities in her city, related to his field, so it was sensible to stay out of the city and come to see his beloved, once a week or month.

She was not planning to have dinner as she had already eaten at work. Her owner was quite a caring lady, but Leigh had something else on her mind.

Ever since Sandy had asked her to take a long leave due to her pregnancy, she was worried about finances. The paint fumes could be hazardous for the baby.

She didn’t know when Ashton would visit her next. Sandy thought that the baby’s father should also chip in to take responsibility.

Leigh never thought like that. She always thought that she was the one who made a mistake and fell pregnant, but Sandy explained to her that the baby belonged to both. So, both parents must take responsibility.

After taking bath when she stepped into the room, there was a knock on the door. Leigh's heart missed a beat.

Only Ashton was the one who used to visit her. She opened the door and shrieked excitedly.

"Ashton!" "Love!" Ashton lifted her up and kicked the door close. As always, they got busy until they were panting and lying limply beside each other.

"This time I missed you more." She said against his naked body, stroking his chest.

"I wish I could stay here, my love." He held her face in his hands and kissed her lips, "but money also matters." 'I never let him take my responsibility or the baby's responsibility. He never spent a dime on gynecologist visits. Maybe Sandy was right. He isn’t interested in the baby.' She thought to herself.

"What are you thinking love?" he nudged her a little.

"Nothing." She didn't want to tell him that she was almost jobless now, with nothing to support, "I was just thinking about how long you will stay this time.”

For the last two or three visits he had been staying hardly for one day making her crave him even more.

He turned her sheet-cladded body towards him and kissed her lips with a passion that made her want more.

"Something is bothering you, my love. What is it? Or you don't trust me?" "No!" she held his wrist near her face and turned her head to kiss it, "I...” she didn't want to tell him what Sandy said about him being irresponsible.

"On your last visit, I told you that I will be going for an ultrasound. You never asked me about the gender." "Well!" he straightened beside her and took her in his arms, making her topple over him, "That's because I love you. And it doesn’t matter anymore if it's a boy or a girl."

She wanted to tell him that it was a girl. And she was planning to give her the name Ashley. Ash from Ashton’s name and ley from her own name. Leigh!

Should she talk to him about some contribution? She was living in a rented place, and she needed money to take care of the bills. Sandy was still ready to help her except for the delivery charges.

Before she could say anything, he leaned aside and stretched his hand to pick up something from the floor. It was a black-colored, square-shaped bag made of leather.

"What is it?" she asked him when he gave it to her.

"See for yourself." He said with a smile. Frowning at him she took the bag and started opening the zip. After peeking inside, she gasped and covered her mouth with her hand.

In her shocked state, she raised her eyes to him and found him wiggling his brows at her.

"How come ... I mean. This seems a lot of money!" she remarked and took out the heavy stacks of bills placed inside.

"How did you manage it, Ashton?" "It’s from my savings," he moved her hair away from her forehead, "Plus I sold my chain."

A little taken aback, she realized he was no more wearing his gold chain around his neck.
