108 108. Tried to be Strong
“Lea!” Dave turned around in a panic. He had indeed gone ahead because Lea had asked. Luckily, what he saw when he turned his head was not a woman who had fallen and was covered in blood, having a miscarriage.
Lea was safe. She was holding onto a street lamp’s outer fra. Her heart seed to burst. Her pale face stared at Dave with wide eyes.
Earlier, after taking a few steps, Lea imdiately slipped when she stepped on a thin layer of ice covered with snow. She miscalculated, she thought that the pile of snow that still looked thick would be safe to step on.
“You are okay?” Dave asked worriedly, examining Lea’s condition closely. “Let hold you so you don’t fall!” Dave said again half forcefully.
Lea shook her head. “I’ll be careful next ti!”
Of course, Dave shook his head quickly and denied Lea’s words, “This is the result of your careful step! What if there weren’t any streetlights here?” Dave put his hands on his hips, it was clear he wasn’t happy with Lea’s recklessness. However, Lea remained adamant in her stance.
Dave snorted in annoyance. The woman before him had even made love to him. He had even seen everything his forr secretary had. And now, she was behaving like a virgin that no one had ever touched? She didn’t want him to hold her hands. It sucked.
However, Dave then rembered sothing that happened the morning he and Lea had sex. He was so shocked when he saw blood stains on the bed sheet. It was obvious that the naked woman next to him was not Clara. Clara was not a virgin anymore.
It was then, Dave realized that it was indeed the first ti for Lea to have sex. He was the one who accidentally took Lea’s virginity. It’s only natural that she acts like a virgin who took care of herself.
.....
Dave felt guilty. He then said, “Wait here! I’ll get my car and bring it here. It will be dangerous if you walk far in those boots.”
Lea just nodded, moving her feet awkwardly when Dave seed to bla her for wearing fashionable shoes in winter. She just watched his back as he walked away from her toward the car park. Her mind drifted as he touched her stomach. It would be so happy if she got pregnant with the one she loves. The person she was destined for.
Lea’s thoughts were stopped when a blue Bentley Bentayga SUV stopped in front of her. Dave got out of the car to help her into his car. The father-to-be really cared about the baby, he didn’t want the mother carrying his baby to get hurt in the slightest. He treated his child’s mother gently and gentlemanly.
Lea’s chest felt tight. Either because of the cold air that was suffocating her lungs or because of Dave’s excessive treatnt. Even though she knew that Dave was doing it all because of the baby in her womb, Lea was afraid that she would fall for Dave’s gentleness and care. It was dangerous.
The car continued to move at a moderate speed. While the two people in the car decided to talk about things other than Clara and the baby in Lea’s womb. They want to take a break from the unpleasant problems of life.
“How is your mother’s condition?” Dave asked in a concerned tone.
“She is currently recovering. Her condition is quite good,” Lea replied in a soft voice. She also told him how difficult her mother went through.
It’s fun to go through the snowy streets using a car that was indeed tough. Not long after, Dave’s car stopped in front of Lea’s little house. The house was covered in snow.
“Thank you, Lea!” said Dave when Lea was about to undo her seatbelt.
“I should be the one thanking you for giving a lift.” Lea smiled softly while pressing the seat belt button.
Dave shook his head, smiling a little. “I thank you for your kindness, allowing and Clara to take care of this child later.”
Lea just smiled awkwardly, she gulped hard and said, “Don’t be like that! After all, you are the baby’s father. He or she will surely receive your full and boundless outpouring of affection. It sounds great.”
Dave and Lea then said their goodbyes. She waved as he ran his car away. When he had left, she was still stunned in front of the house. There was a strange feeling lingering in her chest. A suffocating one, making her eyes heat up despite her being in the middle of cold snow.
Not long after, Tia, Lea’s youngest sister ca out of the house, wearing a coat and carrying a shovel to clean up the snow around the house. “Ah, Lea! You’re ho. Can you help clean the snow? Sarah and Ciara forced to do it, even though I have a math exam tomorrow.”
When Tia didn’t hear an answer from Lea, she then shook her sister’s body and turned her by force. Unfortunately, what she found was not Lea’s happy face. Usually, Lea showed a cheerful face, full of smiles, but this ti she was transfixed and stared blankly into the air.
“Lea, are you okay? Why are you crying?” that shoulder-length dark-haired girl asked her sister.
Unfortunately, Lea was not willing to answer. She didn’t know what to say. She didn’t even know why her chest felt so tight right now. She then grabbed the flat-chested little body of her youngest sister and hugged her tightly.
Was it wrong for her to try to be strong? Was it wrong for her to give the baby to Clara and Dave who wouldn’t be able to have a baby together? Was it wrong for her to try to atone for her sins to Clara?
At that ti, Lea could only sob on her youngest sister’s shoulder. She didn’t know how long it went on. What was clear, Tia could only embrace her sister back in the middle of the pouring snow that was getting heavier.
