Chapter 34
Harley was currently seated with her mother who just wanted to have some conversation with her. Her mother had gone to visit her in the Gill family and the two of them were currently in her room.
“So you really skipped your work today just to have a conversation with me?” Harley Shrugged at her mother, finding her excuses so funny and selfish. “Yes! I just want to know what’s on between you and Brandon.
She Uttered. “So it was a good idea not to tell me about the pregnancy mother? Why did you all decide to keep that to yourself? If not for Brandon I don’t think I would have such ideas of it until the stomach is mature enough to my notice.
“I’m really sorry about that, I just wanted it to be a surprise to you” what did Brandon say about the pregnancy?” Her mother asked as she tried hiding her tears. She couldn’t let her mother be bothered with her thoughts or her situation.
“Of course he accepted it, he was really so happy “. She said, pleasing her mother but she knows deep down her she will be getting rid of this pregnancy. “mother, I don’t feel well at all, I have been Sick for some days now “.
She lied, just wanting her to believe that she isn’t physically healthy now and that can affect the child in her stomach so that when she told everybody the truth, they will all believe that she really had a miscarriage.
“Ohhh you should have told me earlier, I would have brought you lots of medicine if you would have spoken out about it”. She uttered touching her forehead and she really felt hot.
“Ohh mother you don’t have to worry about me, I’m no longer a baby okay? She shrugged at her as her mother hugged her tightly. “You will always be a baby to me okay? No matter what happens you’re my one and only baby!
Her mother soon left as she lay down to sleep. To make everyone believe her side story, She will have to pretend like someone who’s sick.
On her mother’s way out. She came across Brandon who was just stepping into the setting room. “Thank you very much for taking good care of my daughter and for your love for her, but…..” She sighed and leaned towards Brandon who was patiently waiting to hear the rest of her statement.
“It’s never too late to wed her now, you can actually do that before the public comes to realize her condition”.
“But…!! “Shhhh I understand! You don’t have to say a word okay?” Kate interrupted him as he kept quiet just like she had Said. Brandon was really so damn confused with what she was talking about.
It’s not like he promised to marry her or even impregnate. What has she told her parents? He thought as he decided to storm Inside the room she was..
She was sleeping by the time he got there. Of course Harley had pretended to be asleep on hearing the footsteps which were approaching. And the person footsteps was Brandon who had opened the door without knocking.
Brandon could only scoff and chuckle on seeing her on the bed. But he thought she was the person who her mother had come to visit! If she’s really the person, then Why’s she sleeping now? Could it be that she’s pretending to be asleep? He thought as he called her but got no response.
He decided to open the door and act like someone who was leaving. So he closed it back when she didn’t least expect it and not quite long, she opened her eyes thinking that he was gone only to see him staring at Her.
She trembled in fear as her eyes widened open. There was a smile on Brandon’s face as he saw her reaction. He knew that she was pretending all along.
“I can see that you’re up to something Harley!!” Brandon changed his countenance immediately to an unpleasant one.
“What do you mean?” She chuckled with a beam. “Have you been here all these while?” Why didn’t you tell me you were here?” She uttered so confidentially as he Scoffed. “You were pretending to be asleep Right! I understand “.
“But… don’t misunderstand things between us okay?? I don’t know what you’ve told your mother but have it in mind that we are no longer dating. So you staying in our house doesn’t mean anything”. Brandon could see the fear in her eyes.
“You and I both know that we haven’t had an intimacy for four months now so how’s it possible that I’m the one responsible for your pregnancy? He asks as tears stream out of her eyes. “I don’t know!” I can’t just tell if we have intimacy during those months. She said, lying! Not wanting to admit to the truth.
“I know everything I’m saying is the truth Harley, you don’t have to lie to me”. But then; I will forgive you now if you could gather the whole family together and tell them the truth. “You don’t have to continue deceiving everyone with your lies. It’s never too late to admit to the truth!
Tensioness and nervousness ran through her blood as he uttered such words. Her palm was continuously sweating profusely at the moment as her heart continued to skip and beat in drum of his words.
“Cut such nonsense, if you don’t want to marry me I understand! But you saying this to me it’s totally nonsense; I know that you have eyes for Camilla! But don’t you know that Camilla is a werewolf? Camilla is nothing but a werewolf who can Hunt you down at any moment. Camilla is nothing like us humans and I will suggest you remove your interest from her”. Harley uttered, trying to change the topic of their conversation but Brandon didn’t bother.
“Go submit yourself now Harley because I will feed you to the wolves when I found out that I wasn’t the father of that child inside your stomach”.
