Chapter 238 - Abduction (2)

"Put me down while I'm being nice." Sonya threatened.

"Ha! I'm scared now huhu, but sorry, I'm not going to put you down. I don't think that a brief check up is enough.

I understand how you must feel with this turn of events and for you to decide to keep it, you must have brooded a lot, which leads to the whole blood pressure. 

I'm sorry for all the stress. If you please allow me, I wish to make it up." He said.

Sonya would have felt so touched if Tim's eyes weren't glued to her stomach and alternatively looking ahead.

He cared about the baby, but seems it's just the baby he wanted. His hold felt so nice and his scent so soothing to one's nerve.

It's fine, but somehow it made her want to do it alone. She won't deny his right but still wouldn't allow him get closer.

It was obvious that the child is the only tie.

She's not feeling this way because she liked Tim, but somehow it felt weird that he was being so caring and attentive, and it's not for her, yet she's receiving it.

It makes her feel like a water bottle, only useful because of the water it contains and when the content is done, it will be tossed aside.

They got to the garage and he dropped her in the shotgun seat, being so careful as if he's carrying an egg, making her roll her eyes.

Her eyes darted around, wondering where Clara went. She knew Clara wouldn't leave her there and leave.

Perhaps she's around and would need to talk to Leo. She thought.

....

Leo had taken the little princess to her room and placed her on the bed, before squatting in front of her and smiled softly at her expression.

Her cheeks look puffy as if she was hiding something inside it and eyes looking everywhere but him.

"OK, sweetheart. The truth is that Tim and aunty had known each other for a long time. Did you remember how mommy and I fought then?" Leo asked, looking so serious.

The little princess nodded her head.

"Exactly! They also fought and were separated. Aunty left and that demon Gregory took her away, making them not see each other. 

Did you show her Tim's picture when you two talked about him?" He asked and she shook her head again.

"Ha See? She would have recognized him if you showed him his picture because they've known each other for a long while. Aunty will be having a baby soon, and the baby needs Tim and aunty to be together." Leo said, making a pitiful face.

"A baby?" Belle asked, her eyes wide open.

"Yes a baby, but that wouldn't stop you from seeing Tim. You can visit them and play with him as you want. I'm sure aunty wouldn't mind." Leo said.

"Really?" Belle asked.

"Of course, what did mommy tell you?" Leo asked, wondering what Clara told her to make them end up arguing so much on something that doesn't really worth it.

Because he hadn't used all his tricks and the girl is already tamed.

"She said aunty and Tim will be getting together, that I should declare to aunty that I don't mind it." Belle explained what Clara had told her before she replied that she won't allow her to take Tim away.

'Oh dear!' Leo exclaimed in his head. 

Clara seriously never ceases to amaze him every time. He shook his head. 

"She didn't explain it well, because that is not the case at all. It was just as I told you. You are free to like Tim till you grow up and get tired of him." Leo said and cupped her face, before kissing her forehead.

"I'm not going to get tired of him!" Belle retorted, frowning after Leo pulled back. 

"Yeah, you don't have to get tired if you keep liking him. But for now, we need to support them to be together or else aunty will lose her baby." Leo said, letting out a pitiful sigh.

"Lose her baby? Why?" Belle asked in confusion. 

"She is scared you will hate her if she get together with Tim and save her baby's life. You saw the doctor earlier right? That was what she told us. If they don't get together and be happy, she might lose that baby." He further explained and saw her gaze turned sharp and determined.

"I won't hate her. I want to see her baby too." Belle replied.

"You are such a good girl. How about you tell that to aunty yourself, so she would accept Tim and save the baby?" Leo said in a suggestive tone.

"Yes, let's go now." Belle said, urging Leo to let them go to Sonya immediately. 

Leo praised himself for a job well done in his head. No matter what, kids will still be kids. Instead of arguing, all they need is some coaxing. 

They got out of the room and headed to the living room but couldn't find Sonya and Tim there.

Where did they go? He wondered.

"Ha! Where is everyone?" Belle asked.

"I'm not sure, baby. Let me call them." Leo replied.

Picking up his phone, Leo dialed Tim's number and it took him a while before he picked it, since he was driving.

"Hey, where are you?" He asked. 

Tim had forgotten Sonya's name. Actually no one had mentioned it around him.

"We're going for a thorough check up, what's up?" He replied.

"Belle wanted to apologize for all she said and let Sonya know that she wanted to see your baby." Leo said and Tim thanked him in his head.

So, the name is Sonya.

....

Meanwhile.

"I got her." A man in a black suit said to his caller as he drove away with the unconscious Clara in the back seat of his car.

"Take her over there and leave. I will be there in a while." The caller said and ended the call.
