Chapter 35
Sophia’s POV
“Was that true?
” I couldn’t help asking.
“What?
“That you wanted to shop for my baby girl.
“It’s nothing like that.
“, He replied and kept looking around from time to time.
I was tempted to know what he was looking for or whom he was looking for but considering it, not my business.
I kept my mouth shut.
Just like him, I took a look around and found a familiar face.
I felt like I had seen him somewhere but couldn’t recall where?
While he had a sly smile on his face, I glared at him and turned my head away to mind my business.
But throughout the shopping for my baby girl and a few clothes for me as well because I had started gaining weight over my belly.
To be honest, more than me, my so-called husband was taking an interest in shopping for the new member of the family.
“Are you sure that you want to buy that teddy bear?
“, The shop owner asked when I reached near the counter after grabbing some soft toys.
I knew it was not needed this early, but it was dad strict order to buy toys for his granddaughter.
I looked at the teddy about which the shop owner was talking and gasped, looking at the giant teddy bear.
“No.
“, I replied instead of Brandon.
“Excuse me?
” Brandon arched his eyebrow.
“There is no need to buy something this big for an unborn baby when there are six months more for her to come into this world, and even if she will be here in this world, she won’t be able to play with this six feet giant teddy beat.
“Yes, sir, Ma’am is right.
If your daughter is three or more than that, then this gift will be suitable for her.
“, The shop owner agreed with me.
Brandon didn’t argue on it.
“I observed that you were interested in buying that giant teddy bear; why is that?
” I asked once our shopping was finished.
“I don’t know, but if life ever gives chance return to my childhood, then I will love to play with that teddy bear.
I kind of like that.
“, he confessed.
“Anyway, someday, I will surely give that giant toy to your baby.
I promise.
” I smiled, hearing him, and immediately I remembered where I had seen that familiar man’s face.
That night on the bridge.
Yes!
He was the one.
As time passed, my body started showing more changes than expected.
Because of bleeding gums, I even had to consult a dentist.
Well, that was not the end; my hair, my beautiful hair curly blonde hair, started falling a lot faster than on normal days.
I was worried whether, by the end of pregnancy, I wouldn’t end up getting blad.
I never considered myself as some beautiful angel, but because of pregnancy, I started getting multiple acne on my face, not just that I control my fingers and nails from inching like a monkey all the time.
Except for these two, I wouldn’t comment about my bra.
It looked like I had kept all smaller sizes of bras in my closet.
Also, my sandal, heels, or shoes stopped fitting my giant feet.
“Hey,” Brandon greeted me with a smile, but I gave him an irritated look.
Not because I was mad at him.
It was just I was frustrated because of my back pain.
“I have brought something for you.
”, he said with a smile, to which I didn’t respond much and kept knitting the sweater.
“Here!
”, Saying this, he showed me the box and slowly opened it.
I peeked inside, and a small smile appeared on my face.
“Cupcakes!
” I said in an exciting tone.
I was never a fan of cupcakes or cake, but I would blame my pregnancy for that.
“But it’s your favorite chocolate cupcakes, and dad told me that you don’t share your things with anyone.
“That’s not true.
I won’t mind giving my things to pregnant woman, or kids or old people.
”, he responded.
“Now, open your mouth; I will feed you as your hands are busy.
”, he said nonchalantly.
I opened my mouth and ate the cupcake with his hand.
It seemed like it was a normal thing for him, but I couldn’t say the same.
“What are you doing?
” he asked, arching his eyebrow.
“What am I doing?
” I asked a question instead of answering myself.
Well, as a matter of fact, I really have no idea what he wanted to say by asking that question.
“You’re staring at me, Sophia.
”, he pointed out, narrowing his eyes.
Shit!
“Really?
If someone will feed you, then where will you look?
At his or her feet?
By thinking, wow!
What great feet.
”, I mocked even though I was wrong in the first place.
Indeed I was staring at him, but why should I tell him.
“Fine!
I’m sorry.
I thought that I needed to remind you about the LOVE clause of the contract in case you would have forgotten then.
Yes, that clause p>
“You don’t leave a chance to spoil my mood, do you?
” I snapped.
“To hell with you and your cupcake!
I don’t want to eat it.
“Says the one who already ate the cupcakes.
“Excuse me?
You want to say that I eat a lot?
” I asked angrily, and because of extreme anger, I started crying.
“Noooo.
When did I say that?
”, He exclaimed.
But I didn’t answer him and kept sobbing.
He sighed before wiping my tears with his thumbs.
“I’m sorry.
”, he said softly.
“Not a once in all these months I have even thought that you eat a lot.
And I promise to break anyone’s nose if he or she will say anything like that.
”, he added, and his words changed my mood instantly.
“If you don’t have a problem and I want to take you on dinner?
“Dinner?
” I asked to reconfirm because he had never taken me for dinner before.
“Yes p>
