The Divorced Heiress Is Getting Married Again novel Chapter 87

87 Her Only Flaw 

Samantha nervously bit the nail on her thumb and knitted her brows together, pacing back and forth inside the bedroom she was now sharing with Richard. Yesterday’s unexpected events were weighing heavily on her mind and she couldn’t help but feel extremely anxious which proved to be very taxing considering her current condition.

Exhausted and weak, she finally sank into the rocking chair Richard had bought specifically for her, placing her hands on her slightly rounded stomach. 

“I don’t understand this,” she thought, “Why is she back here? According to the maids, she returned last 

evening, and Richard brought her to her bedroom. She hasn’t left since.” 

Samantha glanced at the electric alarm clock on the bedstand next to Richard’s side of the bed and noticed the time. It was already past noon. 

“It’s Saturday, so she doesn’t really need to be at work today, but still… why would she spend the night here? And Richard… he didn’t sleep here last night either.

The maid said he was working in his study all night, but now I’m getting suspicious.” 

This behavior was indeed alarming. With her being pregnant and Richard agreeing to her idea of creating a false account for her to convince everyone that she wasn’t just a poor orphan but a hardworking and knowledgeable woman, she was certain that the ball had finally started rolling and it would only be a matter of time before Amelie would be completely out the door. 

So what changed? 

“I can’t simply sit around and wait until my situation worsens. This anxiety will eat me alive. I need to talk to him.” 

Samantha stood in front of the door to Richard’s study and took a deep breath. She rapped her knuckles lightly on the cold, dark wood, and a moment later, the man’s low, raspy voice invited her to come in. 

“Oh? It’s you…” 

The slight disappointment in his voice made 

Samantha’s insides tremble. Nevertheless, she decided to ignore the unwelcoming tone and offered Richard a

warm smile. 

“Were you expecting someone else?” 

Richard glanced at his wristwatch, then moved his tired, bloodshot eyes back to the woman who had already seated herself on his lap, nestling into his 

arms. 

“Miss Smith was supposed to bring me fresh coffee. I thought it was her.” 

Samantha pouted and brushed his disheveled hair back, revealing his forehead where her lips planted a tender kiss. 

“The maid told me you have been cooped up here since yesterday. Is everything alright? Mrs. Ashford is also back here for some reason… 

“You don’t need to worry about her, Sam. She is here because she got herself into trouble and I am simply looking out for her.” 

Samantha’s eyes sparkled with a glimmer of hope. She was dying to know what was so bad that the perfect Amelie Ashford could have done to get herself into such a situation but decided against asking any more questions about her. It was obvious that Richard was

not in the right mood for that. 

Instead, she placed his right hand on top of her stomach and smiled again. “Can you feel it? It’s growing already. Slowly, but the bump is already forming. Can you believe it? It’s still so tiny, but soon, it will be another human being. Our child.” 

Richard gently slid his palm over the woman’s belly and couldn’t help but smile. He still couldn’t believe it; he would become a father. Strangely, this thought invited an unexpected contemplation to his exhausted mind. 

‘If only it were Amelie…‘ 

The man then shifted his dark eyes back to Samantha 

and noticed her upset expression. His eyes widened. “What’s wrong?” 

“Well,” she started quietly, “This is your child, but I can’t help feeling bad for it. When he or she is born, people will look down on the baby because it’s a bastard child. I know you will help me take care of it, you are a very kind and generous person after all… But people are waiting for Mrs. Ashford’s child, not mine. Even if her child is younger than mine, it will always be

the first in everything.” 

Richard furrowed his brow. Samantha was not wrong, everyone, including him, was hoping that it would be Amelie, but she was unlucky, in all her life, being infertile was her only flaw. 

The one flaw nobody could overlook. 

A long sigh escaped Richard’s lips and he smiled again. 

“I wanted to wait a little more but I guess I might as well say it now. Amelie can’t have children. She will never be able to give me an heir. Your… Our child will be the one. First one… in everything.” 

For some unknown reason, Richard found it difficult to utter those words calmly, but now, they were finally out there.
