Chapter 145 - Chloe Is Pregnant

Now his wife overheard his conversation last night and asked him to go. Does that mean this was a sign that it was time for him to come back?

"Okay, I'll be back, but I want you to come with me," said Marc, holding his wife's hands.

"No." was her answer while shaking her head. "I'll stay here."

"I'll come back if you come with me. I can't possibly leave you here alone."

"I prefer it here. I'm not coming with you."

"Then I won't go."

"Marc. Your father is gravely ill. At least it would be best if you visited him so that there will be no regrets later. I fought with my mother before my mother breathed her last. I always regret that I never said sorry or thank you for taking care of me and raising me. I don't want you to experience the same thing. I know you love and respect your father even though you don't want to admit it. Go home and help your father." I will also stop Leonard from attacking your company. Chloe continued in her mind.

"I told you, I'll go back if you come with me. Otherwise, I won't leave this island."

"Why should I come?"

"Are you seriously asking? You don't know the answer?"

Of course, Chloe knew the answer. But she could not return or be seen with the son of the owner of the Alvianc group.

At first, she planned to return after telling Marc her true identity. She wanted to bring Marc back to her place. She did not care what people think because of her marriage to a lowly person like Marc. She would protect her husband and make sure no one had the guts to insult or hurt her husband.

But now it's a different story because it turns out that Marc was the eldest son of the owner of the Alvianc group. Until the end of her life, she had to keep her identity secret from her husband. Marcel must not know that she was the heiress of Paxton.

"I'll be waiting for you here. I don't particularly appreciate getting into any conflict there. The reason why I fled to this place is that I don't want to get into politics anymore."

"You ran away? What happened? Could you possibly be in debt? Are the loan sharks after you?"

Chloe smiled, completely unable to picture her husband's extraordinary imagination.

"You could say that. I feel safer here. I'll be waiting for you here, so go and hurry back."

"Tell me, how much do you owe them? I'll pay it back and make sure you're safe when you get back."

Chloe was touched to hear that. She embraced her husband's waist and buried her face in his chest. She wanted to spend time with her husband one last time.

"It's okay. My debt is covered. You don't need to worry." Chloe smiled as she felt Marc return her hug and kiss the top of her head. "Go back. I'll be waiting here for your return." Chloe continued, tilting her head up to meet her husband face to face.

After thinking hard, Marc finally agreed. That day he promptly called his father's right-hand man to pick him up.

"Marc," called Chloe when Marc was about to board the ferry. Chloe took out her necklace then separated the pendant that her husband had given her when he proposed. "I want you to bring half of it, that way, I will feel I was by your side, and you were by my side." Chloe handed the pendant with the silver chain in her husband's hand.

After putting on the necklace, Marc pulled Chloe's waist close to her and kissed his beloved wife's lips as if there is no tomorrow.

"I love you," whispered Marc sadly because he had to be separated from his wife.

"I love you more," Chloe replied sadly.

"Wait for me here. I'll come back to you," Marc leaned his forehead against his beloved wife's.

Then Chloe escorted her husband away with feelings of loss and guilt. She did not know if after this they would meet again because she decided to return to Eastern Wallace to stop any evil plans from Leonard against the Alvianc group... and she would not return to her husband.

Unfortunately, when Chloe boarded the ferry the next day, Chloe felt nauseous and vomited throughout the crossing.

Chloe immediately went to the hospital because she felt that her body was not well. There she got the news that she was two months pregnant. Chloe's eyes filled with tears, not knowing whether to be happy or sad about her pregnancy.

"Alpha, can you hear me?" Chloe muttered very quietly.

It didn't take long before someone sat in the seat behind her and their two backs faced each other.

"I heard you, miss."

"I am pregnant."

"I've heard."

"I am scared."

"What are you afraid of?"

For a moment, Chloe didn't answer and just rubbed her stomach gently. "I don't know. I am just feeling scared for a reason I don't know. I've never felt this kind of fear. What should I do?"

"..." for a moment, there was no response from Alpha to make Chloe think that the man already left her. "There is a place privately owned by late elder Savannah. Only members of Alpha and Zero know about it. Do you want to stay there until the birth of your child?"

"Can I take Paul with me?"

"I'm sorry, we can't let the LS members know where we are."

Chloe sighed. "Then I want to go back to the island."

"As you wish."

In the end, Chloe decided to give birth on the island where she was with Marcel. Even if she had to give birth, at least she wanted her child to be born in a place filled with memories with her husband.

It's just that she purposely didn't have her womb checked in the hospital so that her family members didn't know that she was going to give birth. Therefore she did not know the gender of the child who will be born later. Neither did she care about the gender of her upcoming baby. For him, girls or boys are the same. But the only thing she worries about is the welfare of her baby.

A Paxton heir's life has never been calm, and one should always be on guard against other Paxton. She hoped that her child to live a life a more peaceful life than her.

It was very tiring life has to be filled with vigilance. Her brain kept working hard to face the cunning attacks of her family. Not to mention, sometimes her life or those closest to her were threatened.

If only she had a way out so that her child would not get involved in family politics. She would exchange anything for her child's happiness.

A few days before delivery, Chloe had two unexpected guests. Paul and Lest. As she expected, the two men looked at her with shocked and uneasy looks.

"Who got you pregnant?"

"Hush! Don't be disrespectful." cut Paul to the notoriously rude Lest. "Miss, who is the father?"

"What's the difference with what I asked?"

"My question is more polite."

"Why are you here?" Chloe cut in before the two men argued over insignificance. "How did you find me?" Of course, that's a stupid question because both of them must have found it from neither Alpha nor Zero.

"The Alvianc group managed to take control of twenty percent of the elite troops. If the government continues to give support to Alvianc, you must return immediately." Paul explained. "But... it looks like you can't come back?"

"About that..." Chloe's words were interrupted because she felt her water breaking. A second later, she screamed in pain.

Paul supported Chloe's body which seemed to fall, while Lest immediately sought help from the residents.

After experiencing several contractions for several hours, finally, a midwife and Chloe's best friend named Rischa helped with the birth process. The midwife instructed Chloe to regulate her breathing and then pushed the baby to come out. Chloe, who screamed in pain, could only grip Rischa's hand.

Rischa ignored the pain in her hand and gave Chloe encouragement and comfort. Meanwhile, Paul and Lest were waiting outside, only frowning in frustration at the deadly screams from inside the room.

After waiting for fifteen minutes, finally, the sound of a baby crying appeared to make everyone in the house breathe a sigh of relief.

"Congratulations, Chloe, your baby is a boy." Rischa brings the newborn baby next to Chloe's weak body.

Looking at her baby's face made her cry in tears. She even began to see the lines of her husband's face on her child.

"He looks like his father." now Chloe felt she missed her husband more than ever. She wanted to meet Marc at the same time she was grateful that her husband had not returned.

Not long after, the door to the room opened, and two towerings with daunting aura men appeared. One was wearing a red mask while the other was wearing a black mask.

The two people's presence made the atmosphere cold and creepy, causing the midwife and Rischa to shriek in horror.
