17 Chapter 17

As expected, the trouble that Charles brought upon became the root of their gap of their closeness. Sam had lost interest toward him nor anything else but to her child who was growing strong.

Charles would always go home and brought Sam's favorite flower, bundle of white roses, but she showed no reaction as she thanked him.

Sam would enjoy her afternoon in the garden as she tried to avoid any conflicting emotions. She did not want her child to be born with hate especially to its father.

She would let him touch her belly at times but she stopped him when he tried to hug her. She hate him but she still could feel the conflicting emotions of love towards him. She would prepare all the time his breakfast and packed him his lunch.

She would avoid going to the office at that moment. She did not want to see that roached to be clinging to her husband. She would expect her prepared lunch for him be untouched but the container would always be empty and he would always compliment her how delicious it was. He would give her a kiss on the cheeks or to her forehead as his thanks.

"Sam" Charles was cooing with her. They were in their room. Sam was reading a book to make her sleepy. She stopped reading. Her eyes were on him.

"What is it?"

"why not we have our honeymoon?" he said excitedly,

"I dont think its needed... afterall we are expecting a boy anytime" she replied to him as she returned to her book.

"Yeah, but I think.."

"Alright. if you want, we can" she said without looking at him.

Charles was delighted. He suddenly hugged her. He was really happy. He felt that he and she could be as same as before. He felt that Sam was giving him a chance. He kissed her to the forehead and trailed down to her lips. Sam placed the book down as they continued to kiss.

"Thank you Sam. I really love you" he whispered and gave her a tender hug. Sam was looking straight as if struggling if she was happy or not. Ever since, she could not comprehend her emotions. She hated him but on the same time she could not bare him sad as he tried to reconcile with her.

She did not understand if she was giving him this another chance or she was just being complacent.

Her emotions were always fighting.

Charles rubbed her tummy as he talked to their baby boy.

"Baby, mommy is giving me a chance to date her" he said as his finger circled around her belly. " I am very happy" he added and kissed her belly.

He suddenly position himself not to squish her tummy and snuggled into her. He kissed her cheeks as he closed his eyes.

Sam looked at him while he was dosing off. She could not help herself crying. She tried to control her sobs as she could not understand her pain.
