“What did you say?”
Dorothy was confused, she thought that she had misheard him. She turned her head around and stared at Credence.
He spread out his arms. Holding her bulging belly with one hand, he wrapped his other hand across the back of her neck and shoulders. With little effort, he had her entire body in his arms. His lips touched her soft earlobe, as he repeated his words. “When will you let me sleep with you again?”
“You’re insane, Credence! Can’t you think about anything else?” Dorothy’s ears were red, and her lips trembled in anger.
“I have. For example, when are you willing to sleep with me?” The man’s long and slender arms gently stroked her round belly. He stroked her from left to right and top to bottom, with just the right amount of pressure.
Dorothy pursed her lips in anger. She knew that she couldn’t break free from his embrace. So she turned around and pinched him hard on his waist. She pinched really hard and didn’t show him any mercy. She knew that he wouldn’t do anything to her while she was pregnant. “Credence, stop thinking about it. I’ll never have those thoughts about you, just give up.”
For a tough man like him, her full strength felt like a mosquito bite. It didn’t hurt at all.
He withdrew his left hand back, supported her back with the other, and propped her up in one smooth motion. He lowered his head and slowly moved closer to her lips.
“But all I think about is you. What should I do about that?”
His voice was so deep and manly, it was music to her ears.
But at that moment, Dorothy had no time to appreciate his sexy voice. When he began to press himself down on her, she was shocked. With her clumsy body, she was slow to react. She was absolutely helpless to his advances…
“Credence, what are you up to?”
She turned her head away from his lips. His entire face stopped an inch away from her nose.
When their eyes met, Dorothy’s cheeks turned red. Seems he wasn’t actually looking to kiss her, she misjudged him.
“I just wanted to take a good look at you. What did you think I was going to do?”
The man glanced at her blushing face. There was a faint smile on his face.
“I wasn’t thinking about anything.”
Dorothy glared at him angrily. “You’ve seen me, you’ve touched my belly. It’s time to leave.”
She was furious from feeling embarrassed. She spoke rather harshly as if she was going crazy.
“In a bit. I haven’t massaged your waist and feet yet.”
As soon as he said that, Dorothy felt herself being turned over effortlessly. Then, she felt a wave of warmth on her back. His hands were so quick that she couldn’t stop him in time. They reached the hem of her loose gown. The heat of his hot palm covered her slightly cold and slender waist.
It felt very cozy and soothing, which made Dorothy’s heart beat faster.
He used his arms to massage her buttocks back and forth. As she was being massaged by him, her breathing went awry. She felt as though her heart was about to explode.
She was mentally struggling against his intoxicating touch. She thought of the child in her belly and knew she couldn’t make any forceful movements and was well aware that she couldn’t break free from him.
She gritted her teeth and decided not to be so confrontational. “Credence, let me go. I won’t kick you out anymore.”
“Honey, I’m just massaging your waist, I am not doing anything, ok?”
His warm breath fell on Dorothy’s ear and landed on her tender cheeks as she blushed.
She did not know whether he was doing this on purpose, but his lips touched her sensitive earlobes.
That was the most sensitive part of her body.
Dorothy’s heart throbbed. She couldn’t control herself and let out a soft moan.
Who knew that there could be such a shameless way of massaging another person’s waist and legs?
He calculated all her weaknesses and forced her to submit to him. He had gone too far.
She bit her lips, blushed, and then angrily raised her hand and clawed at him. “Are you really injured, or are you just faking it?”
“My injuries are real, they are just as real as my burning desire for you.”
Credence chuckled as she scratched him. Although he felt a slight sting on his neck, it only spurred his desires further.
He gently massaged her waist with one hand and tightly held her shoulders with the other. His tight chest was even closer to her now.
He went back and forth, and Dorothy finally understood what he had in mind.
His erect manhood had found its way between her thighs.
It was getting bigger.
Dorothy’s hair stood on end. “Credence, you… you b*stard!”
Credence’s voice was hoarse and excited. “The button from your gown has come loose. I can see that your breasts are much bigger than before, is it because you are pregnant?”
Dorothy looked down, only to notice that the third button of her jacket had fallen off, revealing her chest…
Credence was right behind her, from his angle, he could see her breasts, and it was enough to give him an erection.
Dorothy’s cheeks immediately turned red. She took a deep breath and poked his bandaged chest with her elbow. She hoped that the pain would be enough to make him stop!
“Credence, weren’t you leaving? Are you going to leave or not? If you keep doing this, you’ll only be interfering with my rest.”
“Wait a minute. I’ve just finished massaging your waist. It’s time to massage your legs.”
The man chuckled again. Seeing that she was about to go crazy, he quickly let her go, sat up on the bed, and moved to her feet. He held her calf and started to slowly massage her.
She didn’t need him to do this at all. She knew that he was only pestering her, making it impossible for her to sleep. In the end, she got mad and scolded him, “Go! Leave now!”
He said, “Okay, I’m leaving. Don’t be angry. Take care of yourself and our baby!”
A pregnant woman’s temper was not to be taken lightly. Credence didn’t intend to push her further, so he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and left.
Dorothy was surprised to see him walking so steadily, and he wasn’t stumbling. He couldn’t have recovered so quickly after suffering such a serious injury.
How strange!
However, soon, her thoughts were interrupted as Belle had come back. The little girl was holding a large toy, and she was smiling broadly. “Mommy, Daddy called Mr. Benjamin and asked him to buy me this huge doll. He said that it was custom-made just for me. Wow! I am so happy, so very happy! Daddy is too cool. I love him so much!”
Dorothy pinched her daughter’s cute little face and said, “Good thing you like it! I’m feeling very tired, so I need to sleep for a while. You can go and play with Mr. Benjamin, or call Germaine to keep you company.”
Ever since she did the amniotic fluid test, she found herself getting sleepier and sleepier. She yawned all day long, and she never had enough sleep.
Belle said, “Mommy, I’m tired too. I want to sleep with you.”
“Alright, come on then.”
Belle climbed onto the bed as Dorothy adjusted her position. She was worried that Belle might kick her in her sleep, so she placed two pillows between them to protect her stomach.
In the other ward, after Credence returned, Benjamin left in a hurry.
Piles and piles of documents were stacking up in the office every day, yet his boss was pretending to be ill to be with his wife. As an assistant, he didn’t feel he was qualified to be that capricious.
Jonathan and Marvin walked into the ward. As soon as they got close to the bed, they looked at Credence who was lying down on it. He hadn’t changed his clothes at all, they were completely wrinkled. There was even a new pink scratch mark on his neck.
Jonathan raised his eyebrows and looked at him. “Credence, look at your face. Has Dorothy already taken you back? Gee, looks like she even scratched your neck, feisty! She’s really living up to her reputation!”
Seeing the man’s face turning grim, Jonathan quickly corrected himself. “It was a slip of the tongue, just a slip of the tongue! No matter how bold I may be, I would never have such thoughts about Dorothy.”
“You do talk a lot of nonsense!”
Marvin stood behind him, he raised his leg and kicked Jonathan away. Then, he approached the bed and spoke in a steady tone. “Credence, I have tried all sorts of ways to get Melanie to talk, but she won’t budge. You should interrogate her yourself when you have the time.”
“There’s no need. I think I’ve figured out Dorothy’s true identity.” Credence frowned and continued, “I’m almost certain that she is Jeremy’s sister.”
“What the f*ck? What do you mean? Credence, are you saying that Dorothy is Jeremy’s actual sister? Did I mishear you?” Jonathan’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped open.
Marvin’s face turned solemn. “Credence, even I am shocked by this news!”
“At first, I couldn’t believe it either.” Credence was browsing for pregnancy gowns online as he was talking. “It’s just a guess. Once I have the time, I’ll look into it myself.”
Marvin added. “Then, what about Melanie?”
“Take her to the police station. Someone might need her dead to earn a promotion, that will be my personal gift to them.”
“Alright, I understand.” Marvin nodded.
Jonathan was never one for bloody fights. His attention was glued onto the screen of Credence’s mobile phone. He noticed the many colorful maternity dresses on it and was at a loss for words.
“What the f*ck, Credence, you are the president of the Scott Group. Have you fallen so low that you’re now buying pajamas for a woman? Aren’t you ashamed of yourself?”
“Old men who don’t have wives or children are even more shameless.” Credence smiled and shot a glance at Jonathan as though he had pierced his heart with a needle.
“F*ck, f*ck.” Jonathan pointed at Credence in a trembling voice full of grief and indignation. “Credence, you’ve gone overboard. My heart hurts so much that it’s starting to bleed!!!”
Marvin blankly stared at him. “You brought this upon yourself. You deserve it!”
“What are you looking at? You’re still a virgin. That’s even more shameful than me.” Jonathan stared at Marvin’s crotch and mocked him mercilessly.
Among the three of them, Credence was the oldest, Marvin was second, and Jonathan was the youngest.
“You wouldn’t last three seconds, that’s so lame! I wouldn’t dare touch a woman for the rest of my life, or I’d die from embarrassment!”
Marvin was not an easy man to deal with. But, from time to time, he would succeed in provoking a response from Jonathan.
Sure enough, Jonathan held back the pain in his heart and his face turned green. “D*mn it, I’m just here to check on Credence and Dorothy’s progress. Why am I always getting made fun of?”
This was why it was so f*cking annoying to be in a group of people who grew up together!
They knew all about him, including every dirty little secret of his. If it were necessary, they would mock him mercilessly.
Credence paid no attention to their discourse. He lowered his head and continued buying pajamas for Dorothy.
Half a month passed by.
The result of the amniotic fluid’s surgery would be released today.
Dorothy was worried the entire morning and had a stomachache. After listening to the doctor’s explanation, she obediently lay on the bed and waited for Credence’s report.
Half an hour later, he stepped in.
As he walked into the ward, Dorothy’s face was extremely anxious. Dorothy slowly got up from the bed and leaned against the bedside. She asked anxiously, “How is it? Is it a match?”
