chapter 93
Two weeks went by in a blink of an eye. Today was Amanda and and Richard's seventh wedding anniversary. Richard woke up early to do nothing but
admire his wife's perfect feature. Time has not left a mark on her face and she was addictive to look at.
Amanda opened her eyes slowly and was met by a set of deep, full of emotions eyes staring right at her.
"Happy 7th marriage anniversary my queen." Richard said with a smile.
"Huh?" Amanda had just woken up so her mind was slow to process.
"Happy 7th marriage anniversary, my queen." Richard repeated himself.
After realising what he was saying, Amanda was shocked. So much had passed but it all felt like yesterday. Her eyes teared up.
"Thank you for providing me with a home I thought I would never have." Amanda said emotionally.
"That you too, for everything and for betting your whole life on me." Richard said, kissing her forehead lightly.
"You are the best husband."
"And you are the best wife."
"Okay darling, hurry up. Your little dumplings prepared a surprise for you. You better start preparing or else, they will come here to make a scene." Richard said.
"A surprise?"
"Yes."
Amanda quickly washed up and went to have breakfast with her husband.
But the moment she put the pan-fried egg in her mouth, she felt a sudden urge to vomit so she quickly ran to the bathroom. Richard followed, feeling worried about her.
"What is it?" Richard helped Amanda who was looking pale as they walked towards the dining room.
"I don't know, i haven't been feeling like myself since yesterday. No appetite and my body feels really weird." Amanda said.
Hearing her words, a sudden thought crossed Richard's mind.
"I will take you to the hospital right away." Richard said without a second thought.
"I'm fine. Maybe it's just because the weather has been changing recently."
"No we are going to the hospital." Richard said firmly.
At the hospital, Richard nervously waited for the report from the doctor. Amanda didn't know why her husband was nervous because she felt perfectly fine except her lack of appetite.
After what seemed like a century, the doctor finally walked in with her report.
He had a big smile plastered on her face.
"Congratulations the two of you. Your baby is healthy." The doctor said..
"Wha.... what did you just say?" Amanda asked, not believing her ears.
"Mrs Howell, you are already four week pregnant."
"Ooh my God!" Amanda yelped and turned to look at Richard. What followed was a warm hug from her husband.
The two of the were thrilled, it was not until the doctor coughed that Richard broke the hug.
After telling them the do's and the don't's, Richard and Amanda left. They had experienced it ones so they were not as nervous as had been during the first pregnancy.
Evening arrived in a blink of an eye. Amanda donned a long peach dress as she walked the red carpet, holding Richard's hand. Thus was probably the happiest she has ever felt in her whole life.
Having two little trouble makers with the man who loved and pampered her. There was also a little in her belly. Amanda smiled with satisfaction as a warm felling bubbled in her chest.
"Wow, look bro, our mother is beautiful." Maddy said.
"Even daddy looks amazing."
"Yeah." Maddy said, a dreamy expression gracing her small face.
"What is with that look?" Vicky asked.
"Nothing."
The two ran to their parents.
"Mommy, you look amazing. I also want to be a beautiful bride like mommy." Maddy said.
"Of course my little princess is the most beautiful, you will even be more beautiful when you grow up." Amanda said, bending down to hug her daughter.
"Now, you just have to give us a little brother."
"Why not a sister?"
"No, a brother." The two siblings quarrelled, making Amanda burst in a fist of laughter.
"You guys don't have to worry about that. You little brother or sister is already on the way."
"Yay.. mommy is the best."
The family of four had a fabulous time. Amanda had left a history in the entertainment industry, a lot of her friends had been invited and even the media was all over the place.
Amanda excused herself after some drinks to go to the washroom. As she was cleaning her hands, she saw a familiar face that she had not seen for long time. She had even forgotten about her existence.
Amanda looked at the person with an emotionless gaze.
"You really are happy!" Vallery said in a self mocking voice.
"Why shouldn't be. It's all thanks to you that I managed to have what I have today." Amanda said. She did not really care about this sister of hers. She hasn't seen her for
and almost forgot about hone
"Hehe Amanda, you have really won. I thought that you were just some wild duckling who was no threat to me, but I really underestimated you." Vallery said.
"You must be seeing me as a joke, right?"
"You know what, you don't have to
net
waste your time provoking me. I had almost forgotten that you once existed in my life. Why don't you collect some good karma for your next life, so that you won't end up as
sorry as you are now."
"I don't have to collect good karma, all I have to do is go with you to hell." Vallery said as she made small steps towards Amanda.
"I'm not a lone. There is someone who even wants you dead more than I do." As she voice fell, footsteps were head from outside.
Amanda looked at the newcomer shocked.
"Mandy!"
"Bitch, it's good that you still
remember me." Mandy said. She has
just been released not too long and she could not sit still after seeing how well Amanda and Richard were living. She had to do something.
"What do you want from me?" Amanda asked, feeling scared.
"Nothing, we just want to have some fun."
"Richard will never let you off." Amanda threatened.
"Don't worry, that will only be after he is conscious again, but I guess it will be too late. But don't worry, I will help you take care of him." Mandy said. She could not hide the madness in her eyes.
"What have you done to my husband?"
"Nothing, just something to knock him out for a while. And your two little brats."
Mandy said, and they all started to move toward Amanda.
"Stay away from me."
"Hahaha, that won't do." Mandy said, laughing like a maniac.
"I guess it will!" Suddenly there was a cold voice at the entrance. Mandy and Vallery stood frozen on the ground like they have been hit by lightening. Amanda on the other hand felt like her whole body come back to life. She ran towards the source of the voice and hugged the man tightly.
"Did they harm you?" Richard asked, holding the woman in his arms gently.
"No. You came right on time."
"How did you....." Mandy looked at the tall man like she was looking at a ghost.
"How did I what? You have just come our of jail but I guess you will be going back in. But this ykrk, it will be for life." Richard looked at Mandy coldly, enuciating each word.
"Do you think I could give you the chance of harming my family again? You think too highly of yourselves." After saying that, Richard left and the police soon took Mandy and Vallery away.
Amanda was shaken so the banquet ended earlier.Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Many years later, Amanda had given birth to a bouncing baby girl and she named her Evelyne after her mother who had already passed away. Maddy and Vicky were all grown up and they had their own careers and families. Evelyne was in her final year of campus.
Reminiscing about the years they had lived together as they watched the sunset, Amanda was grateful and could not control her emotion, giving Richard a long kiss full of emotions.
