Along the way, Alan didnât speak a word. The car passed quietly among the noisy traffic, crossing half the city and arriving at the hotel where they stayed.
He got off the car without a word and Olive followed behind him.
âHey, slow down.â He didnât know how to take care of pregnant woman.
Alan didnât look but, but he slowed down his pace. Oliveâs lips curled into a smile when she saw it and chased after him, trying to hold his hand.
But he put his hands into his pockets without a trace. But in her opinion, he did it on purpose.
What a petty. She was just getting pregnant behind him back. There would be a new life and he wouldnât welcome him. How could be a father?
If he didnât want to hold hands, find then! We walked by ourselves, Little Hoyle. No need to be afraid he didnât want him. If you father dared not wanting you, your mother dared to run away with you. Hmph!
It was the same suite. At the door, Olive pitifully grabbed his sleeve and shook it.
âAre you angry?â
âWhat do you think?â Alan replied him lazily. She asked such obvious question, idiot.
He truly loved and hated her. His head and soul were full of her, but that wasnât the case with her. She did the opposite and ruined his efforts. But if he hated her for making decision by herself, she actually did it for him. So in the end, he really loved this woman and couldnât hate her.
âDonât be angry. You get older easier if youâre angry. Youâre a handsome guy, right?â Olive acted cute and silly, trying to loosen up his expression.
But he merely had a cold face on and opened the door to the room, walking straight in.
Like she was just being thrown over a cold water, Olive stood guiltily by the door, looking like a child who had done something wrong, waiting for forgiveness.
She had made up her mind. If he didnât ask her to come in, she would kept standing by the door. She wouldnât believe his heart wouldnât soften up.
Pregnant woman shouldnât stand for a long time. She didnât believe that he would be that ruthless punishing her.
Indeed, after Alan took a seat on the sofa, he bluntly said, âCome here.â
Oliveâs face brightened up. She knew that this man wouldnât stay angry at her. In fact, she could feel that he was happy with the child.
There was no need to hold himself back.
It was a womanâs duty to have children. She wasnât that delicate. She wasnât afraid, what was there for him to be afraid of?
This man had nothing to fear in his life. This is probably his first time. That was because he really cared about her, fearing that she might get into accident. When Olive thought of this, her heart felt warm.
Even his angry look became extremely lovely in her eyes.
What could be happier and touched than our own lover putting ourselves first than themselves?
Olive walked up to him and before she could ask him whether he was still mad, he reached out to pull her onto his lap with her butt faced up.
She hadnât get to defend herself and a palm already landed firmly on her bottom that she yelped in pain.
âWhy are you hitting me?â
âItâs only a light hit.â Alan spanked again, forgetting to be gentle to her.
âItâs obviously not, okay?â
Another two slaps. What a cruel man. Olive wanted to struggle away from the pain, but he held her tight that she couldnât turn over. She was like a fish on the chopping board, slaughtered.
Alan seemed to determine to punish her. Another and another, his palm landed sharper and louder than before.
Olive laid on his lap wriggling and upset. How embarrassed it would be if this spread out.
âAlan Hoyle, you hooligan.â
âYou should find a new word,â he said through gritted teeth.
âIt hurts. If you keep hitting me, youâll beat Little Hoyle until heâs gone. Honey, youâre killing your own son,â Olive sobbed and squeezed out a few tears, wiping them on his pants.
These words made Alan halt at once and another slap didnât come.
Feeling that his strength on restraining her had eased down. Olive struggled to escape. She got up and quickly took three steps back, hurriedly arranging her skirt. Her gaze was on guard on him, fearing that he would pounce on her again and spank her.
âCome here,â Alan said again.
âNo. Youâll hit me again. It hurts.â Olive was like a bullied child, rubbing her butt.
âYouâre not afraid of the pain from giving birth, but youâre afraid of this little pain?â It wasnât that Alan didnât know his strength. He knew himself how painful it was.
It wasnât that he didnât know how to be gentle to her. He was going mad from this sudden news. This child was beyond his expectation. Other men were happy when they became father. But why did he have a mixed feeling of dilemma?
He actually knew that sometimes he thought too much. He hadnât been afraid of anything in his life. He also had experienced the most dangerous stuffs. Only with her, he never dared to be careless, even if it was just a little risk. The feeling of losing something and then regaining again was too precious.
Olive was stupefied by his words, then said some irrational things, âThatâs obviously two different things. It hurts my skin when you spank me, but giving birth is pain of happiness. I donât care. Little Hoyle is in my stomach already. You canât abandon him. If you dare to, Iâll⦠Iâll ignore you.â
Olive really had no other trick, so she could only âthreatâ him.
âYou dare to ignore me?â Alan squinted his eyes. His gaze were filled with dangerous glint. He weighed on her words. It seemed that he wasnât as important as the child in her heart. âCome here or not?â
âIâll go if you donât hit me,â Olive negotiated.
âOkay. I wonât hit you.â He had spanked her, if he did it again, he worried she would rebel.
âYou canât scold me either.â
âOkay. I wonât scold you.â It was useless for him to scold again. The child had already taken root. He could only blame himself for being careless.
âYou canât not want Little Hoyle more. Abortion can hurt your wifeâs body. You can ask a doctor if you donât believe me. You donât want that either, do you?â
Alan didnât fail to see the sly light in her eyes. This girl actually had been scheming.
âThen shouldnât you explain first how did you hide this child?â This was the strangest question for him.
Reasonably, he couldnât be that careless.
But his hundred ways to avoid it actually happened to him. It seemed that he was still a bit inferior in fighting against his girl.
âDidnât you read the instruction? Those pills arenât 100% safe. You canât blame me. If you want to blame someone, go to the manufacturer,â Olive secretly changed the notion.
But Alan wasnât easy to be fooled, âDonât want to tell the truth?â
âIâve said half the truth. Itâs you who interrupt me.â
âThen whatâs another half?â
âThere was one time I secretly threw out the milk you gave me. I know you put the pill to prevent pregnancy in it,â Olive admitted honestly.
Right. Alan remembered. There was that one time. He gave her a milk, but she said it was hot and she would drink it later. She asked him to do something and when he turned around, he saw milk stain at the corner of her mouth and thought she had drunk it without a doubt.
He didnât know that his girl had been careful and had noticed his little movements. She even cheated behind his back.
It was him who being too careless, thinking that everything was under his control, but he didnât expect he would be interrupted by his girlâs little scheming.
Thing had happened. What could he do now?
âHoney, donât be angry anymore, okay?â Olive jumped onto Alan and gave him a big bear hug.
Her jump almost made Alanâs heart jumped up to the sky. She was a pregnant woman, but she still carelessly played around. What should he do if he hadnât been able to catch her and she accidentally fell down? She knew how to make him worry the best.
âFine, Iâm not angry anymore because you say so.â
âYou ever said as long as I donât leave you, I can do whatever I like to do. Iâm following you with all my heart now and having little Hoyle with you is what I like to do. You can turn back from your words.â
Olive gagged his mouth with what he had ever said.
Alan was speechless, holding her butt to make her sit firmly on his lap.
Seeing that he no longer would spank her, her hands boldly creeped up onto his neck and hugged him close. She continued, âHoney, I know what youâre worried about. You can rest assured. I assure you Iâll give birth to little Hoyle safe and sound. You have a healthy wife. You have to have confidence in your wife, right?â
Apart from sighing helplessly, Alan was left to surrender, âYou already have the final say. Is there still room for me to speak?â
He really had let her do things so easily and he even needed to treat her carefully now.
How great was this? In addition with the old lady and young lady, he had three ladies by his side. What a headache.
Seeing him sigh, Olive beamed with happiness and immediately gave him hard smooch on his cheek.
âHoney, I love you to death.â
Alan said, âIâm happy enough if you donât upset me to death.â
Olive laughed and said, âNo way. Youâre my husband and the father of my two children. Iâll be a widow and my children will have no father if you die. How pitiful.â
He knew she was distracting him out of topic. Alan asked, âIs your agreement with my mother has anything to do with this child?â
Olive nodded without denying. âActually, I donât have losses at all. Before her, I have wanted to give you a little Hoyle. I just go with the flow to make her happy so she would stop arguing about Annieâs last name. You donât have to think itâs because of her pressure that makes me have this child. As a mother, itâs normal for her to have that thought. Besides, Little Hoyle has settled in my belly before that.â
âIâm so done with you.â
âThatâs Olive Steele for you,â she laughed triumphantly.
