Carrying His Heir While Fighting His Lies novel Chapter 67

The look on their faces was a clear sign that I have to explain more than I like, and I have no escape now, and I know that fact.

"Bella darling, we are going somewhere; can you pack your bag, please?" I said this while holding her face in my palms.

‘Where Mommy?' She asked excitedly, and I felt bad thinking, What if her excitement will die at Blake's place? What if she does not like the place?

Gulping my fear, I forced my lip to stretch into a smile. "That's a surprise for you. So hurry up." I spoke.

"Ok, mommy. Let's go, Pam." She said this while walking towards her room holding Pam's hand, and that view broke my heart.

Now how will I tell her it's just us going, not Pam? Till now, Bella has been used to having Pam around her, and now she will be all alone at Blake's place.

It is already so much for me to digest, and explaining everything to everyone is taking a toll on me.

‘Gosh, how will I do this?' I thought about looking everywhere, then at these people who are waiting for me to explain.

I am thinking I will explain to Bella later, but first I owe a big explanation to the people standing in front of me. I took a deep breath and got ready to explain, but before I did, I heard Natalia's first question.

"What is all happening?" She was looking at me as if I had had some hair thrown on my head.

"Where are you going?" Miss Martha asks this time.

Mam, do you know him?" This time, Parminder spoke. He is a smart man, and I am sure he must have sniffed something fishy the way Blake was talking to me.

Nothing was forming inside my throat, and I wanted to sob so hard, but I was controlling myself so as not to lose my sanity.

A nod in yes was the only expression I could convey. I walk past them towards the kitchen and pour the glass of chilled water from the fridge, gulp it down one time, pour it again, and gulp it down one more time. It seems like I have been thirsty for ages. I know they have followed me and are still waiting for my answer.

Cleaning my lips from the back of my palm, I prepared myself for the explanation they were looking for.

"He is my husband," I said, and I looked up to see their expressions; shocked was one of them.

"To be precise, he was. I mean, he is my ex-husband." I clarify.

"And?" Natalia spoke.

"And I don't know. I do not know why he has appeared suddenly after so many years." I again look down while holding the kitchen lab.

"So you both are divorced?" Natalia asked, and I nodded yes.

"And what does he want now?" She asked one more question.

"He has adopted Bella, and now if I want to be with her, I have to go with them. That's the only way I can be with her." I hide the fact that he wants me to be his slave to be with Bella.

I know they won't let me agree with this, and even I don't want to do this, but again, can I leave without Bella? No, I can't, so I should go with her.

What if she needs anything there?

What if she gets sick?

"Can I take this?" he asked, looking at the bag.

"Sure, thank you, Nora," I said politely.

"My pleasure, mam." He said he took the heavy bag with one hand and walked out as if it weighed nothing.

I again collected a few important things in a small bag and zipped that too, and I looked around to see if I was forgetting something important, ignoring the stare on my face.

I know they have many questions, but I am not ready to answer anything as of now.

"I should get going. I will call you guys once I reach there." I said it with a small smile to cheer them up, but inside my heart, I was anything but happy.

I hugged each one of them and rushed out, seeing that Bella was ready with her small bag back with Pam. Just the thought of leaving both friends broke my heart.

"Bella, let's go, baby," I said, ignoring my surroundings.

"Yeah, let's go, Pam." She said this while taking Pam's hand in hers.

I stopped my steps and looked back at both girls, and they also looked at me with their questioning eyes.

"Baby doll, we can't take Pam this time. It's just you and me." I said, and both the girls' faces fell.
