The Next Wife novel Chapter 30

"I was thinking of naming him David." Jayda said immediately they walked into their house.

She got settled on the couch then he sat beside her and made her sit on his lap. It seemed like he was addicted to her being on his lap.

"I don't think so. David is kinda common and it also reminds me of Dave, that frog you call your best friend." He said jokingly.

"You're so mean," she pouted. "Do you have any other name on your head?"

"Yes, we'll call him 'Axel Maklaw'. It's not a common name and it's very adorable. A lot of girls will be dying for him to be with them." He laughed.

"You're really stupid." She laughed. "Axel is a nice name so we're going with that. I'll get us something to eat." She wanted to hop off his lap but he held her back.

"No, you're not cooking. I already ordered food for us. Remember you have to follow a meal time table?"

"Do you mean I wouldn't do anything throughout my pregnancy? That's torture." She puckered her forehead, feeling frustrated on thinking of doing nothing all day long.

"Not necessarily nothing, I just don't want you to stress yourself out, that's all. Just rest, rest and rest. I don't want our baby to be harmed or disturbed in any way or I'll tell him to kick your stomach all the time."

"You both are my main priority now. I'll be a father soon so I have to be more responsible. And, he'll listen to me more because I'm his father."

"Listen to you more," she snorted.

"You're so adorable. I can't wait to see you blow up like a balloon during this pregnancy stage." He laughed.

"Our baby should look like you less so he can look a lot like me." He laughed again.

"No," she shook her head with a smile.

"I always wanted to look a lot like my father because we were always going around together and having fun but I resemble my mother a lot which annoyed me. I took after her looks; blue eyes, bronze hair, nose. Gosh. It was annoying." He shook slightly.

"I took after my father's likes and dislikes. I love dogs but like my dad, I hate rings; that's why I didn't wear my wedding ring, I also hate bunnies, coffee and most importantly Mina. My father hated Mina but I was fooled by lust that I ended up marrying her." He rolled his eyes at his last word.

"You hate coffee? You take coffee whenever I give you. And you never complained when I make them for you," she was surprised to hear that.

"My father was murdered. He was never always at home, always trying to earn for our living. When he came home, he could stay for a month then leave." She sobbed.

"My father always travelled to other countries and states so we hardly saw him. It was quite saddening. I used to go out with him all day long whenever he came back home, even though I was almost an adult." Fred sniggered.

"He happened to die, we didn't even know where his corpse was and couldn't bury him but some people did that on our behalf. My mother had gone missing. Since I was an adult, I could take over the company and also Cora."

"They handed me a very large amount of money. My father had saved it for me to use to build the company which I did," he gulped. "I still wanted to further in my education; finish my college, get done with my masters and attain a PhD degree so since Jeremy's father was a close friend of my dad like Jeremy is to me, he helped me out in taking care of the business till I was ready to take over."

"My own father was murdered. He wanted to return to his family and leave the town but he was... unfortunately murdered ten years ago." She cried.

"Ten years ago?!" Fred frowned. "That's such a coincidence as that's the same year my father died. What's your father's name?"

"Marcus, Marcus Black," she looked down but flinched hard when Fred yelled.

"Marcus?!" Fred screamed and in an instant, his face went completely pale.
