Chapter 301: My heart hurts

Tossing the laptop aside, Tristan followed Ashley to the bathroom and saw her puke entire the food she just consumed before sleeping.

Quickly reaching to her, Tristan rolled her hair up and slowly caressed her back until she was completely drained.

"I shouldn’t have let you eat so much" Tristan scolded himself for not paying attention and kept feeding her.

Wiping off her face, Ashley took a deep few breaths until the nauseous feeling vanished and then turn to look at Tristan. "This happens during pregnancy Tristan. It’s not your fault" she tried comforting him or else he would keep cursing himself for no reason.

Observing her for some time, Tristan then helped her out of the bathroom and made her sit on the bed. He then walked around the other side of the bed and fetch her some water before he returned to her side.

"Here have this. I’ll just ask the doctor to come" Ashley was about to refuse but Tristan was too quick. Before she could stop him, he was already on the call with the doctor.

Shaking her head in disbelief, Ashley silently gulped down the water and lay on the bed until the doctor came and checked her.

After a thorough examination, the doctor said," There is nothing to worry Mr. Knight. Dizziness and feeling nauseous is a common factors for a pregnant woman. But still, if you are concerned I will prescribe some medicines for Mrs. Ashley" writing down some names on the paper, she gave it to Tristan and then left from there.

"Why do you keep worrying, Tristan?" Ashley who saw the paleness on his face asked.

Tristan gaze at her before he sat next to her on the bed. He was so excited for the child but he didn’t realize how much of a struggle a woman has to face after she embraces motherhood.

Pursing his lips into a thin line, Tristan then darted his eyes from Ashley and looked at her stomach as he slowly placed his hand on it." Baby bean, can you be a little gentle with your mom? She is feeling well" his soft and soothing voice melted Ashley’s heart and she let out a chuckle.

"You think he will hear you? It’s still small" Ashley’s smile widen watching his silliness.

"I know, but shouldn’t I start getting familiar with my child? I just want to share this phase with you" Tristan smiled as he kept rubbing his palm.

Ashley didn’t oblige and let him do whatever he wanted to until his phone rang and he excused himself.

Stepping out on the balcony, Tristan answered Karl’s call." Yes Karl"

"Boss, our informers have managed to find Riel’s current location. He is living in one of Lucas’s condos but there is one problem boss" he paused

"What is it?"

"Boss the security around is too tight. I doubt if our men will be able to keep an eye on him for too long" he further stated.

Tristan pondered on his words for some time before agreeing with Karl’s words. "You are right. Retreat our men from his place. We can’t let him get suspicious about our moves" he ordered before ending the call.

Returning to the room, he found Ashley sitting in the same place as she looked absentmindedly in a certain direction.

Without making a sound he reached to her side and caressed her head lovingly, pulling her out of her thoughts. Her eyes stared at him with a daze and it was enough to race his heart.

"Don’t look at me that way, it’s making me anxious" Tristan muttered as he slowly retreat his hand down. The way she looked at him with a questioning gaze, he was scared of what she was about to ask.

Ashley observed Tristan for a minute and shook her head mentally. She wanted to bring up the topic where Riel had asked her to question if Tristan had anyone in his life before she came into his life, but she couldn’t because she already had the answer. Then why did her thoughts keep drifting to the same topic?

Tristan had his eyes on Ashley the entire time. He could tell that her thoughts were still stuck to the words he told her on the terrace. There was no way she would be patient with him even if he ask her to be.

He was about to ask her when his phone rang once again and this time it was Grace who was calling him.

"It’s mom," he said looking at the screen and quickly answered the call.

Ashley too composed herself before they started speaking with them. They both were happy to see their parents but also complained about how they felt lonely without them being around.

Grace assured them to return as soon as possible as she too couldn’t stay away from her children for too long.

Skylar Corps

Gwen was still upset with Karl and barely spoke with him when they were together. Though her reason was right of keeping her informed beforehand but Karl’s fear took over his wise thought.

Sitting inside the cabin, Gwen was busy working on her laptop. She could feel Karl’s puppy eyes on her but she was too adamant to ignore him.

’Why would he always treat her like a child? Even her brother had noticed the maturity in her then why can’t he?’ she fumed and her pace on the keyboard fastened.

The loud tapping sound of her fingers made Karl retreat his eyes from her. The situation seemed to be more serious than he had assumed and he had to do something before she shoves him off like a bug lurking around the food.

Clearing his throat, Karl composed his thoughts and spoke," Gwen, there’s a new place I found that sells the most delicious pancakes. Do you want to go there"

He knew pancakes were her weakness and just the mention of its name can ease up her anger against him.

His eyes looked at him with hope but when she didn’t spare a glance at him, his eyes dimmed with sadness.

’What was he supposed to do so that she will speak with him’ pursing his lips into a thin line, Karl began to rack his brain when an idea popped into his mind.

Clutching his chest, he suddenly hissed in pain." Ahh... my heart hurts" his painful sob halted her action and she snapped her head in his direction.

The moment she saw him hold his chest, she let go of her work and sprinted in his direction.

"Karl. what’s wrong?" Gwen panicked as she held him. Her eyes well up thinking about something happening to him. The way he tightly closed his eyes showed how much pain he was going through.

"D-doctor, I need to call the doctor" she mumbled absentmindedly and was about to leave when suddenly she found herself getting caged in a strong pair of arms.

Gwen was caught off guard when she saw Karl smiling at her cheekily. ’Did he pull a prank on me’ she thought and her eyes turned even redder, but this time with anger.

Upset, she tried to free herself from his embrace but failed when he suddenly pulled her by her neck and sealed her lips.

Frizzing on her stand, Gwen blinked her eyes. She didn’t expect this to come but when he started nibbling her upper and lower lips simultaneously, she found herself slowly reciprocating him.

Bringing her hand upwards she wrapped them around his neck and deepened the kiss. Her anger vanished flew out of the window and now she was shamelessly kissing him back.

Karl expected her to push him back, and when she didn’t he took it as a yes and started kissing her aggressively. He wasn’t going to give her any chance to leave him.

His arms around her tightened as they both kept kissing until they were lost of breath.
