Chapter 74: His Reasons

Mason was unusually serious, so I tilted my head slightly, observing the expression on his face.

His eyes were dark as he stared at Ash. His expression might have been neutral, but his gaze was intense. I knew his eyes were saying something else, something I couldn't quite understand. "That's good."

Instead of being affected by Mason's intense stare, Ash smiled and placed his hand on my face, stroking it before moving his hand to my stomach. "Because she's pregnant, Mason. You need to take care of her while I'm gone."

"Ash!" I shouted his name, but he just winked at me.

I had already told him earlier about this. That we should make sure I was really pregnant by going to a doctor, not just relying on a pregnancy test. But now he's already telling my brother!

Because of that, Mason's grip on my wrist tightened, and I winced in pain. If he hadn't noticed, he probably wouldn't have loosened his hold on me. He didn't say anything after that. He just pulled me towards the car without speaking to me.

Mason didn't shout at me or scold me, and that's what made me nervous because I couldn't read his mind.

"Why are you so grumpy, Mason?" Evangeline asked from the passenger seat.

I hadn't noticed her earlier because the front seat was so large. If she hadn't peeked at me, I wouldn't have known anyone was sitting there. "What did you do, Jade?" she asked as she applied some hand sanitizer. "Do you know how hard it is to deal with him when he's in a bad mood?"

She turned her gaze back to Mason. "Geez, just don't take your anger out on me, and we'll be fine."

Mason started the engine as he replied, "She's pregnant with Ash's child. He told me earlier-what the fuck, Rose!"

Mason swore repeatedly when Evangeline sprayed the sanitizer in his face. It seemed like some of it got into his eye, so he closed them, unsure of what to do, while Evangeline froze after hearing the news. "It's not 100% confirmed," I told them. "We'll see a doctor to make sure, but for now, we're focusing on the upcoming graduation."

And I'll also think more deeply about my plans.

Having our child means I'll need to adjust some of my plans, but that doesn't mean I'll stop pursuing my dreams. If time hinders my plan to live the life I want, then I'll create my own timeline.
