Chapter 8

"So tell me, what exactly happened between the two of you?" Tara asks as they both sat down on the couch.

"He found out about it. Everything. He showed up in front of my house and confronted me" Amelia explains.

While Amelia was explaining everything to Tara, Damian on the other hand, was busy organizing his mansion with the help of his butler and maids. He was organizing it so that it will be comfortable for future use.

"Sire, where should I put this?" Damian's butler asks and shows him a picture of him and a girl smiling happily.

Damian looks at the picture coldly before saying, "Throw it away"

The butler immediately excuses himself and exited the room.

While the butler walks down the long hallway of the house, he hears the maids gossiping.

"Why do you think the master suddenly asks us to prepare a room for a guest?"

"I don't know. But it looks like the guest is a girl"

"Could it be his ex?"

"Ugh, I don't wanna see her. She's so arrogant and selfish. No wonder the master dumped her"

"I know right, she doesn't belong with our master"

"I don't think it's her. It's someone else. The master also told us to be careful when the guest arrives since she's pregnant"

"Oh my?"

The butler who can't take the gossiping of the maids anymore suddenly faked a cough. "Ehem!"

The maids look at his direction and saw the strict butler who had been working for Damian since he was a kid.

"Do you think the master pays you to gossip? Get back to work" he said in a firm tone which scared the maids.

"We're sorry," they said and bowed to him before running away from the scene.

"Goodness," the butler says and massages his temple. He looks at the picture of the former madam and his master. 'What is the master thinking?' he thought.

Damian signs a signature on the paper in front of him. He lifts the paper and signed the other one on the back. He looks at the mountain of paper in front of him and sighs. After working for a few hours, he decided to take a break so he lifts his phone and calls Amelia.

"Hello? Who is this?" Amelia asks sweetly.

"It's me," Damian says.

"O-oh"

Damian chuckles and thought 'That's quite a change in attitude'

"I just wanted to make sure you're alright. Did you vomit a lot today?" He asks and leans back.

"No. I didn't. The only thing that makes me vomit is eggs" Amelia says.

"I see," Damian says. 'Eggs. I'll remember it' he said in his mind.

"Also, avoid tiring activities. Don't run as you did before"

Amelia felt flush after remembering the time when she ran away when she saw him at the hospital.

"I-I understand," she said stuttering.

"Good" Damian looks at the clock and realizes that it was already so late.

"Go to sleep. Don't stay up late. It's bad for the baby"

"Okay," Amelia answers. "Y-You should go to sleep as well," she said and hesitated at the beginning.

Damian unconsciously smiles at what she said. "I will. Just have to finish some things"

"Ok. Bye. Goodnight" Amelia says.

"Sweet dreams, Amelia," Damian says and hung up the phone.

Amelia looks at her phone and was left speechless for a few seconds. 'Sweet dreams, he said'. She felt the loud thumping of her heart. It was as if her heart was about to burst. She touches her chest in the hope of calming her loud heart. 'My heart, stop. You don't need to be like that, it's just a simple phone call' she said in her mind.

'That's right. I have to sleep. I have to go to school tomorrow after all' she thought and laid down on her bed.

Once again, she touches her chest and felt the loud beating of her heart. Who knew her heart would act like this by just one phone call with Damian. 'Why do you keep making my heart waver?' she thought.

On the other side, Damian leans back and laid down his phone on the table. He remembers her hesitant voice when she said 'You should go to sleep as well'. He chuckles and thought 'Cute'.

After a few minutes of resting, he got back to work and took a document from the big pile in front of him.

He grabs the telephone in front of him and called for the butler. After a few minutes, the butler immediately comes in and bowed to him.

"Is there anything you need, sire?" He asks.

"Arrange another room. If you can, renovate the guest room and add a door so it connects to the room beside it" Damian ordered.

"What is the room for, sire?" The butler asks.

"A nursery room," Damian says shortly.

The butler's eyes widened and he was frozen on the spot. Damian notices the shocked butler. "What? You can go now" he says and returned his eyes to the papers in front of him.

The butler recovered and quickly exited the Master's study room. 'A nursery room? It must be true then' he thought. He quickly erased the nasty thought inside his head and quickly got back to work in his dignified manner.
