chapter 90
The following day, Amanda woke up at midday. She had slept too well without any dreams.
She was greeted with a pair of deep eyes staring at her. She almost screamed out loud because she was still disoriented from her sleep. Only after she heard the familiar scent did she calm down.
"Hey, aren't you going to work?"
"Nope. My paternity leave starts today. I will accompany you until you give birth."
"But there are still some more days until delivery."
"It's okay. I covered upto three months work. If there is nothing serious, I told Thomas not to disturb me." "Bu....."
"No buts. Everything is settled don't worry."
Seeing that he was insistent, Amanda could only surrender.
Richard looked at her with a deep gaze.
"What is it?"
"Err!" Richard was embarrassed to say what was on his mind.
He had actually not gotten a wink the whole night and kept thinking about what Amanda had told him.
She was reborn and has already lived once. Richard wanted to know if they had known each other in her past life and what kind of life he had lived. Did she have a wife and children or was he single until he died.
"Babe, you are making me worried." Amanda said, suddenly feeling uneasy.
"En.... I just wanted to ask, in your past life, did we know each other, and do you know the kind of life I lived? Did I have a family?"
Hearing his question, Amanda laughed softly.
"Was that difficult to ask?" Amanda said as she winked at her husband with a mischievous light in her eyes.
Richard was even more embarrassed and his face even turned red. It was so hot he felt like fanning it.
It was a good thing that the curtains were not drawn, although it was midday, the room was slightly dark. Amanda tried to remember how Richard was in her past life.
"In my past life, you were the boss of the biggest entertainment industry. The life and death of many artists and media outlet were in your hands." "Although you had a strange temper and always acted arrogant, you had a lot of scandals with many artists under you. You were probably involved with all women in the city." Amanda said.
Richard was shocked. Although he could not remember what happened in his past life, he trusted his wife.
He found it hard picturing himself like some kind spoiled brat who was a playboy.
"Anyone who messed with you disappeared without a trace so no one dared to mess with you."
"As for having a family, I don't remember hearing any news about it."
"Mmmh." Richard did not know what to say.
"Di you remember the first time I saw in my mom's ward, it was basically because of what I knew about you in my past life, that is why I was wary of you."
"So that is why you treated me coldly." Richard turned to his wife and asked.
"Yes."
"You know I had just dealt with a jerk in my past life and I was not ready to entertain another."
"But the more I interacted with you, the more I felt like you were totally different from how you were in my past life."
"The Richard Howell I knew will never entertain a woman twice, once you were done with them, you will toss them aside without a care in the world." "Was I such an asshole?" Richard could not believe his ears.
He had a very unique OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) when it came it women. He perceived those creatures as dirty and filthy not until he met Amanda. His view about women had largely changed due to her.
How could he entertain such a thing. But because he don't remember living such a life, he could only believe Amanda. "Yes, babe."
"You know that day, when I saw your assistant outside my mom's ward, I was expecting the worst. I never imagined that I will find you talking and even laughing so calmly. I, thought that you were entertaining your prey before you slain it, that is why I wanted you gone as soon as possible."
"Ooh..."
After talking some more, Richard helped Amanda to get off the bed, after a quick shower and breakfast, he took her to a morning walk.
Although the couples had been preparing for the coming of their baby, they never expected it to come in such a way.
One day, a week later, Amanda was having her afternoon bath while Richard was reading some documents in the bedroom. Although he had taken a leave, some matters needed his attention and would work on them when he got time.
Although the bathroom was layered with thick non-slippery carpets, some accidents were bound to happen.
Amanda, who had finished washing herself, tried to get out of the bathtub. She was too heavy, that just after a few attempts, she was already panting. She did not want to call Richard so she persisted.
But she had never foreseen that she will lose a footing and land heavily on the ground.
Hearing the commotion in the bathroom, Richard immediately rushed over. He was shocked at what he saw. Amanda was lying on the floor, clenching her stomach as cold sweat dripped down her forehead.
"Darling, our baby, save it." She called out weakly.
Richard had no time to think. He scooped her up in his arms and rushed towards the door.
"Car, prepare the car right away." He howled even before he reached downstairs. The butler, who was having his afternoon tea immediately went to get the car from the parking lot after hearing his boss's anxious voice.
Amanda was rushed to the hospital and was immediately rushed to the labor room. Good thing her water had not broke or she would have given birth in the car.
Richard insisted on accompanying his wife while she gave birth. Although the nurse tried to advice him otherwise, Richard was insistent on seeing her wife give birth to their baby.
As Amanda pushed her babies with confidence, at the William's family, tension filled the house.
Peter had suddenly summoned everyone to meet at the William's family, claiming that he had an important news to announce.
Most them thought that maybe his business deal worthy billions that he has been negotiating for a long time has finally come through. Only Juliana was feeling uneasy in her heart.
The feeling was so real that she felt
like she would not breath. If she had a choice, she wouldn't go. But Peter specifically told her not to miss, He even said that it will be too entertaining thus it will be a pity if she missed.

After everyone had gathered, Peter also arrived. He had even come with his son Ryan. Juliana was now more certain about why Peter had gathered everyone here, and before it even started her face had already turned pale from fear.
Peter did not begin right away and casually made small talks with James and Jason's father. It was as if he was waiting for someone.
Soon after, the doorbell rang. The servant who was closest to the door went to open it, but when she saw who was outside, her expression changed.
"What is it, why aren't you opening the door?" Liz asked when she heard no movement from the door.
"Madam..!" She did not know what to say.
"Who is there?" Vallery said as she rushed towards the door.
Peter on the other had a calm expression on his face but his heart was in turmoil.
'Had she really come?'
"Move away from the door. What manners are those, preventing the guest from entering the house."
"Young madam!"
"Just go back to the kitchen."
Evelyne, who was outside the house, almost left when the door was not opened for a long time.
She had received a call on her way here that Amanda had been rushed to the hospital, if not for the fact the she was almost here and Peter had urged her to come, she would have left long ago.
And seeing that they were not even opening the door, she felt like a joke again. Did they want to make fun of her and laugh at her again?
Just as she turned around and was ready to leave, the door was flung open.
Vallery was standing at the door in a long floral dress and was utterly dumbfounded when she saw Evelyne.
"Auntie, why are you here?" Although she was surprised, she was delighted that she had finally met Amanda's Mom. She will use this opportunity go
get some favors from her.
"Quickly come in, don't stay outside for too long. It's not safe."All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Evelyne looked at her coldly before entering the house.☐☐☐☐☐
