“"As the owner of this company, you have the freedom to take breaks whenever you want.”
Take your time and then tell me, “
After reaching home, Eva told about Harry's proposal to Stephen.
I think you should rejoin the company as it needs a leader like you, and now that Iiam Hudson is no more, I don’t think there is any problem in finding one.
But.. Stephen, I don’t want to take Harry’s right; he is the one who deserves this, don’t you think so?
Maybe, but your grandfather was a very wise man. He must have thought something before naming these assets in your name and took special measures to hide this decision from others. It was my parents and the lawyer who knew this. So trust your grandfather’s decision and accept this proposal as his wish.
And what about this?” Eva pointed towards her belly
Stephen rubbed his palm on her stomach and told her, “Don’t worry, we all are here to take care of you.“
Eva smiled at his words, and Stephen packed on her lips, taking her in a hug
Four months later
Eva joined the Hudson group of company
Eva was gaping at her belly. She entered the sixth month of pregnancy, but still, her baby bump was not showing off much, not noticeable
Stephen hugged her from behind and dipped his face in her neck, placing soft kisses on her slender neck
“Stephen.. “
“Yes, love..”
“Stop it."
“Why? Did you not enjoy it? Can you correct me if I’m wrong, but your level of sexual desire is increasing these days? “
“Don’t blame me; it’s just my new craving, but Stephen, not now. I am worried."
“Worried? What about?"
“Why hasn’t my pregnancy started showing yet? Have you noticed how other women in the clinic have bigger bellies in just their fifth month? Look at me; I’m already in my sixth month, but no one can even tell I’m pregnant.”.
“I don’t know which ladies you are talking about, as my eyes were on you and how their belly size matters. The doctor told us that the baby is fine, and that’s the only thing that matters.”
Eva smiled at his words and pulled him close
Stephen smiled at her, as he could easily guess her thoughts now. And soon he picked her up to satisfy her craving.
Stephen had many doubts after hearing this pregnancy announcement earlier. His inability to convey his thoughts to Eva stemmed solely from her fragile condition, which led to his outburst at the party. Stephen’s top priority was Eva’s health and well-being, which concerned him.
According to him, Eva is still a fragile person, and he heard about how painful delivering a baby could be for any woman. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a natural birth or by cesarean
Apparently, the mother has to go through pain
And Stephen was not ready to watch Eva go through the pain.
But to his luck, Eva never went through morning sickness—no more songs and not any special food demands. The only thing she craves is her husband. Stephen was feeling blessed by herpregnancy hormones, which are making her more bold with each passing day. Stephen has doubts about sex in pregnancy, but he discussed it with Eva’s doctor, who just told him about some precautions.
After fulfilling Eva’s craving, they both were lying in each other’s arms.
“Are you ok, darling?”
