The next morning, I was wheeled to the ultrasound lab by Mr. Gorgeous and met with the female technician. The procedure was simple and I couldn"t help but go all teary when I saw my baby"s image,according to the technician, the baby"s gender cannot be revealed yet. My heart melted seeing that tiny little life moving in me,all my previous resolve to end the baby"s life had vanished, Mr. Gorgeous was kinda teary too. I don"t know why I feel like he"s acting to much like the father. After the procedure, I was finally discharged and went "home" with Mr. Gorgeous. His place was twice the size of c.o.ker"s Villa, rows and rows of servants stood at the entrance to welcome us, My curiosity just went deeper, what in the world is he?, royalty?.
Surprisingly apart from the servants,none of his family member was in sight.
"Just so you know,I live alone". I could sense the heaviness in his voice.
" If you live alone,why do you have to live in a mighty place like this? ", my curiosity was beginning to get on his nerves.
" Joe, show the missus to her room,I have work to do". He strode out without even sparing me a look. Wait what just happened, why is Mr. Gorgeous snappy all of a sudden. Did I say something wrong?
"This way madam". The older man just addressed me as madam?
" just call me Vee Vee" I said as I followed him upstairs.
The room was very ladylike, all shades of pink was present, ranging from the bedspreads to the sofas to the dresser and even to the clothes in the bedroom sized closet. I just sighed,it"s not like I have a choice
"Madam is there anything you"ll be needing?". The older man curtsied,is he f.u.c.king kidding me?,I"m just 21. That one of the reasons I send all the servants off whenever mum...sorry Susan is out of town.
" Could you please be less formal with me?,I"m still very young". I said and went over to sit on the bed.
"It would be very rude to disregard the lady of the house ma"am", he bowed his head this time
" Huh,lady of the house?,what do you mean?"
"As the mother of master Henry"s heir and His future wife,you"re indeed the lady of the house". OK so we"re back at this again, what in the world is wrong with everyone around me,especially Mr. Gorgeous?. He lied about me being Hus wife at the hospital and that"s acceptable to a certain level,but lying to the staff of his mansion, what in the world is he trying to achieve?
" Madam,if there"s nothing you need,please permit me to go". He curtsied again. "For Christ"s sake you"re a man" I almost screamed that out but swallowed it
"When would master be back?"
"He always comes home to lunch". I smiled coyly
"Where is the kitchen?"
**************
By the time "master Henry" came back for lunch, there was already a feast on the dining table. I made porridge, rice,pasta,pancakes and even other recipes I searched online. Not that I cooked to please him,but being home alone with all the abnormalities I"ve been through,I didn"t want to end up thinking too much as it would affect my baby"s health,so I decided to take my mind off everything by cooking. It has always worked that now wasn"t an exception. The cooks begged me to leave the cooking to them or their boss would bla bla bla,I could only allow them help me out,though it was frustrating as I like cooking alone.
Mr. Gorgeous walked through the entrance as I finished setting the table. Great timing,he took off his shoes and coat that the house keeper collected dutifully then went upstairs to shower. I was in the kitchen when he came back down, storing away the chocolate cake I baked due to my cravings. The doctor said it was absolutely normal but after baking it, I actually didn"t feel like eating it anymore.
"You sure know how to make yourself at home". He lazily walked over to basin to wash his hands
" Well you left me no choice, I"m not a type of person that sits around all day doing nothing ",I gave him a napkin to wipe his hands
" so what"s for lunch "wifey"?"
"Why don"t you see for yourself?" I gestured towards the dining area
"Here we go with the questions answering questions session again" his frown looks very cute, I chuckled
"let"s eat before it gets cold".
I left the servants to dot on him and helped myself to hot chocolate, I lost my appet.i.te after preparing the feast. Just looking at him savoring his meal gave me satisfaction
" You should be a chef,have you ever considered that as a professional option?"
"I....." wait why does that sound familiar?
"have you ever considered being a chef?". Kelvin said that before, nostalgic feelings washed over me as I remembered everything all over again, I couldn"t help but smile wryly,how times change. I snapped out of my daze and gazed at Henry
" Mr. Henry, if you"re not too busy after lunch,I"d like to have a word with you". I silently stood and went up to my new room
