The CEO’s Betrayal: My Ex-lover Has Triplets

Chapter 72- My bridesmaids.

A stab of pain cut through Michelle’s heart like a knife cuts through butter.

She was expecting Graham’s reaction but it didn’t make it hurt any less.

“You don’t have to do anything. I can take care of myself and the child. I just wanted you to know about it,” Michelle said and turned to leave.

That seemed to snap Graham out of his trance. Indeed, he had freaked out when he heard the news. For someone who had vowed to never get married or have kids, such news was shocking

to him.

For a moment, his throat became parched and his stomach twisted with nerves. His heart rate accelerated as his mind raced with thoughts.

A father? He had no idea how to be one. His busy schedule didn’t give him the luxury to spend time with his wife and kids. How was he supposed to do this? How was he supposed to start a family, knowing he would be away most of the time?

The racing of his heart became deafening as he thought about the future… his fears. He knew first-hand, what it meant to have a spouse in the military.

Nonetheless, when Michelle turned to leave, he came back to his senses and a sense of crisis enveloped him.

He realised at that moment that he didn’t want to lose her. Regardless of the future, he wanted her by his side and he wanted this child that they were having.

Graham ran after her and when he found her, he grabbed her wrist and said, “Don’t go. We need to talk.”

“There’s nothing to talk about,” Michelle’s words came out muffled as if she was about to

cry.

A pang of guilt shot through Graham. He knew his reaction wasn’t right.

“I didn’t mean to freak out like that. I was shocked but it doesn’t mean I don’t want to be part of the baby’s life,” Graham said.

Hearing his words, Michelle whipped around and stared at him. Her eyes were blurry with tears. She asked, “You want to be part of the baby’s life?”

Graham nodded, replying. “Yes. I’m the father, not so?”

“Yes… but… you didn’t want kids-”

“I thought I didn’t. But knowing I’m going to be a father has ignited that flame of wanting to have a family,” Graham claimed, looking down at her. He continued, “Let’s talk, hmm?”

Michelle nodded. “Ok. Let’s go for a walk-”

“No. It’s too cold and you’re carrying our child. You need to keep warm. Let’s go to the restaurant,” Graham quickly suggested.

His demeanour had taken a complete 360 turn. His usually cold and stoic face had a bright smile. He placed his hand on the small of Michelle’s back and carefully led her into one of the restaurants at the resort.

When they reached, he took out a chair for her and helped her sit. He then called for a waiter and told Michelle, “Order whatever you want to eat. Do you have cravings?”

Michelle smiled, feeling butterflies in her stomach. “I’ll just have a cup of fresh juice. I don’t really have an appetite.”

Graham furrowed his eyebrows. He glanced at her and asked, “Are you sure? Are you feeling sick? A pregnant woman should eat.”

“I’m nauseous and can’t stomach most foods…”

“Come with me tomorrow. We should go to the hospital and see an obstetrician,” Graham proposed.

The waiter served the juice and some doughnuts and muffins that Graham had ordered, hoping Michelle would eat. However, she wrinkled her nose at the sight of the cream, recalling how the carrot cake had made her sick.
