Sir madame has run away again (Lily and Carson) novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77

Carlos realized that he, too, had let something slip, but he reacted quickly. “I heard her talking to her mother

about this”.

Damn you! I was seething with rage. “Oh, it is. I want to tell this to Joana. She helped me a lot when I found out I’m infertile. Now that I’m pregnant, I want to tell her about the good news. She’s going to be excited, right?”

“I don’t think you should tell anyone about this right now, honey,” Carlos objected.

“Why?” I looked at him innocently. “This is good news, so why can’t everyone share the happiness?”

“Sure, it’s good news, but you can’t tell everyone about it.” Carlos looked worried. “They say you have to keep it a secret during the first trimester or else you will have a miscarriage. We have to keep it a secret from the baby.”

Is he really trying to blind me this way? Hilarious. I shook my head. “It’s just superstition. Besides, Joana is my friend”.

“Yes, but she’s just your friend, not my family,” emphasized Carlos. “Some things you have to believe, darling. Think about it: you had a miscarriage three months into your first pregnancy. I’m scared that this will happen again, so keep it a secret for now, okay?”

I was irritated and amused at the same time. I never expected Carlos to stop me from telling Joana this with a superstition, but he didn’t. Since I wasn’t pregnant, I wasn’t worried about having a miscarriage. Telling Joana about this was on my to-do list, but since Carlos stopped me, I had to give in, at least for now. “OK darling. I’ll keep it a secret for now.”

“Thank you my dear.” Carlos was delighted with my decision and added, “Keep this a secret from Isabel too, okay?”

Oh, meticulous. He fears that Isabel will tell Joana about this. I sighed softly. “Honey, Joana and Isabel are very concerned about me. They don’t

Won’t they be mad at me if I don’t tell them?”

“Listen to me and keep this a secret. This is not a trivial matter, so they will understand you if they are really your friend.”

“Okay then, honey. Anything for the baby. I took a step back.

Finally, Carlos let out a sigh of relief. He told me a little more about the pregnancy before he left and asked Victoria to go shopping.

As I lay in bed, I stroked my belly and moaned. I knew that my pregnancy was a shock to Carlos, and he hadn’t come up with a plan to deal with it with Joana. However, if I kept my pregnancy a secret for three months, he would eventually get an idea. If I could, I would have told Joana this news openly. That would show her who was the boss. However, now that Carlos had given me an ultimatum, that was impossible.

I have to come up with a perfect plan. At the same time, Carlos came in with a plate of strawberries. “Have some blackberries, dear.”
