Chapter 491 Sharp Pain In The Stomach
Carter slept on the carpet till late at night and after making sure the woman was already asleep, he gently climbed into the bed.
Helen was not aware when she flipped over and Carter hugged her in his arms.
It was only then did Carter reach out for a small lacey box beside him, opened it and took out the diamond ring. He then grabbed her hand and placed the diamond ring around her ring finger.
The man lowered his head to kiss her forehead before pulling up the covers over himself.
…
When Helen woke up the next morning, she realized Carter had not left yet.
She rubbed her eyes and noticed the man was staring at her with a warm burning gaze.
Helen mumbled, “Why aren’t you getting ready for work? What time is it?”
“I want to have breakfast with you today.”
Helen nodded and said, “Alright, let’s get up before the old man calls us lazy.”
As she was just about to climb out of bed, Carter pulled her back down and said, “Sleep for a little while longer. We’re not in a hurry today.”
“Okay.”
When Helen raised her arm and was just about to rest her hand on her forehead, she felt a hard object around her ring finger.
She was stunned and when she looked at her hand, she noticed she was wearing a diamond ring. That diamond ring was intricately cut and highly reflective. It looked very expensive.
Helen was stunned for a second as she turned around to look at Carter while asking, “Did you get me this?”
Carter stared intensely at her with his dark eyes. He replied with a smile, “Do you like it?”
No woman would not like receiving a diamond ring especially when it was a gift from the man they loved. Hence, Helen absolutely loved it as she said, “Yeah, I do.”
“Is that your only reaction?”
Carter actually thought she would be so delighted that she would hug his neck and give him a kiss.
Helen smiled and pouted her smirking lips before teasing, “What should I do if you give another woman a diamond ring too? What if you’d give diamond rings away to any women you like?”
Carter stared at her smirking gaze while squinting his dark eyes. He then got on top of her and jokingly asked, “Am I really such a casual man in your heart?”
“So, what you meant to say was, you’re actually serious with Tina?”
Carter’s mood turned serious as he climbed off Helen’s body, laid on the bed while staring at the ceiling as he replied honestly, “Back then, I was serious with Tina before I clearly understood her. If I was just fooling around, wouldn’t I be someone who doesn’t take relationships seriously?”
Helen understood so she leaned closer and hugged Carter’s waist. She then said while pressing her face against his chest, “I understand. It’s Tina’s lost for abandoning you back then. However, I am thankful for Tina not appreciating you or else, how could I have even ran into you?”
Helen raised her little face and smiled at him.
Carter caressed her face with one hand while the other interlocked her hand that had the wedding ring. His gaze looked serious as he said, “The things between Tina and I were the past. I can’t deny the fact that she was once my girlfriend. However, I have myself a Madam Gale and that person is you. I want to spend the rest of my married life with you alone.”
Carter was flirting with Helen early in the morning and Helen could not hold herself back as she asked blushingly, “When did you climb into bed with me last night?”
Carter chuckled and said, “Of course while you were still soundly asleep.”
“You’re so cunning.”
Carter pulled Helen into him while hugging her slender waist as he said, “I can be a little cunning you know.”
Just as the man was about to do the deed with the woman, the door suddenly swung open.
Carter frantically buried Helen underneath the covers while staring at the door with an annoyed look…
Tyler asked with an innocent look, “Dad, did I ruin something special between you and mommy?”
He was asking intentionally even when he already knew the answer to that.
“Knock before you enter next time!”
Tyler recoiled when Carter yelled at him. He then replied, “Okay.” Tyler quickly slipped away. However, Carter called him back, “Come back here! What do you want?”
“Grandpa wanted me to come upstairs to call you both down for breakfast.”
“Alright, go on downstairs and close the door!”
After Tyler exited the room and closed the door, Helen peeked out from the covers and said, “Why are you so mean to our son? He didn’t intentionally do that.”
Carter ignored her.
Helen was speechless.
…
The Fudd family home back in North City.
Little Jelly Bean seemed a little depressed at the dining table early in the morning. She barely ate her breakfast.
Verian thought the little rascal was not feeling well so she instinctively reached out to feel her forehead. It was not warm.
“Why aren’t you eating, Jelly Bean? Is the breakfast not delicious for you?”
Little Jelly Bean pouted her lips while blinking at Verian as she said, “Monty, I don’t want to go to school today.”
“Why?”
“Because my best friend isn’t at school today.”
Verian was stunned as she said, “Your best friend is Tyler?”
Little Jelly Bean nodded seriously.
Since Little Jelly Bean was still young, it would be normal for her to feel sad about farewells like these. Verian then picked up a bowl of porridge and spoonfed her while comforting her, “I can take you over to Tyler’s house to play during your school holidays next time. Hurry up and eat your breakfast. When you grow older, you both can study in the same school again.”
“Yeah! Monty, you’re right! Besides, even if Tyler left, I still have other friends too!”
Verian could not help herself from laughing as she patted Little Jelly Bean’s head and said, “Yeah, my Jelly Bean is so friendly so of course you’d have a whole bunch of friends.”
After Little Jelly Bean was done with breakfast, while Verian was grabbing Little Jelly Bean’s bag and was about to send Little Jelly Bean off to her kindergarten, a sudden sharp pain could be felt in her belly.
“Ah…”
Verian was holding onto her belly with her hand while she stumbled back onto the chair looking pale.
Little Jelly Bean frantically asked, “Monty! What happened?! Monty, are you going to give birth?”
Verian was speechless.
Verian told Little Jelly Bean with a frantic tone, “Jelly Bean, get Madam Leah, hurry!”
Little Jelly Bean immediately ran to the courtyard while calling out to Madam Leah, “Madam Leah! Uncle Lewis! Monty’s stomach is hurting!”
Both Madam Leah and Uncle Lewis rushed into the house and got Verian into the car. Little Jelly Bean followed after them.
While Uncle Lewis was driving to the hospital, Madam Leah called Heaton with Verian’s phone.
Little Jelly Bean was taking care of Verian like a little attentive caretaker as she said, “Monty, does it still hurt?”
“It is better now. Don’t worry.”
Little Jelly Bean frowned as she said, “Monty, don’t you worry. Daddy and I will stay by your side.”
Verian felt significantly better from her initial agonizing pain in her stomach after Little Jelly Bean comforted her. She squeezed the little rascal’s tiny hand and said, “Such sweet tongue you have, Jelly Bean.”
After the phone call connected, Madam Leah handed Verian the phone.
Heaton’s voice sounded frantic on the other end of the phone call as he said, “How do you feel? Are you at the hospital yet?”
“No, but we are really close now. Don’t you worry, I had a sudden sharp pain in my stomach earlier but now it’s gone. It shouldn’t be too much of a serious problem now, right?”
“I’ll be there right away.”
