Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 56

THREE DAYS LATER.

Something was definitely wrong - Sylvie concluded as she typed away on her keyboard.

Neither Kage nor Westley had said something to her about an issue, but she knew there was one. She just didn't know who to get it from. Kage had been acting really strange around her, giving her the cold treatment. Although, he never stopped providing more than enough food for her and made sure she always had what she wanted. But that little warmth between them had now grown very cold. And Sylvie couldn't u n't understand why. As for Westley; he was still on about the wedding. He kept pestering her to think about it and give him a reply soonest. His desperation was actually the reason Sylvie was still reluctant about it.

She checked the time. It was almost eleven. She and Kage had to go for an inspection.

Her hands froze on the keyboard when her abdomen hurt, Oh, God.

was able to get a peek of the truck before their car drove pass.

He rolled his neck. "It's day tine, Sylvie. We can't possibly stand in such a crowded area to get ice cream."

Sylvie fell as though, she'd been asked to stop breathing, she'd been craving something cold and sweaty since she woke up.. She's taken a bottle of cold drink already, but the craving wouldn't quench. And now, seeing the ice cream truck with some kids holding cones of it, she realized that was exactly what she needed

"How about someone goes down and gets it for us? Please, Kage. I really need it

He sighed deeply.

"Make a reverse," he instructed driver.
