Chapter 21: SHE IS COMING HERE
"Baby, sorry. But, at the very least, you will live with luxury, okay?" Hazel patted her stomach lightly. "I will love you the best I can as well. So, sorry for using you. Promise, I will buy you as many toys as you want. As long as you stay away from drugs, we will be cool. Even if you kill someone, I will cover it for you."
Hazel cringed. She felt stupid to talk to her reflection inside her bathroom while staring at her stomach. She didn’t know how to take care of a baby; she didn’t think motherhood was for her. There was a time when she thought her inability to conceive was actually a blessing in disguise.
But now, the reality was thrown in her face.
There was a possibility that Ranon would refuse the baby, and if that happened, she wouldn’t be able to enter the Leighton family, which meant it would take a lot of effort for her to get close to the Barlowe family by using the Rose family’s connection.
Shaking her head, she grabbed her bag and walked out of the bathroom, but when she opened her bedroom door, Logan had been standing there, he crossed his arms with knitted brows.
"Heaven! What are you doing, standing there fascinated by my door?" Hazel was rarely startled; thus, Logan annoyed the hell out of her.
"Where are you going?" Logan asked; he caught sight of her bag. "You are not allowed to go out, right?"
He must have overheard Dylan’s warning. What a snooper.
"None of your business."
Logan caught her hand, but Hazel deftly swatted him away. "So, it’s true. You ARE pregnant." He looked down at her stomach, as if he could see any sign of her pregnancy, which made Hazel feel uncomfortable.
Hazel gave him a look, but she didn’t answer his question and continued to walk away from him, yet her brother was exceptionally noisy today.
