“Alright, then. Stay put. I’m going to ask the chef to make these dishes for dinner.”
“Alright.”
Ivor stood up and headed to the kitchen.
She watched him as he left. A warm, fuzzy feeling rose within her chest. ‘It feels good to be appreciated and valued by my partner.’
The next day, Bonnie had just walked to the gate of Pyralis University when she heard a nervous voice from behind her.
“Bonnie. Hey, Bonnie! Hold on for a second. Wait for me.”
She stopped in her tracks and turned around. The first thing she saw was a man carrying a baby racing toward her.
Once he came before her, he wore a big, fat smile on his face.
“Oh, my. I finally found you! Do you know how long the baby and I have been waiting for you?”
She had a sense that the man before her was a little not right in the head. So, she subtly took a couple of steps back.
“Who are you? Why were you waiting for me?”
The man became agitated at once when she didn’t recognize him. His face reddened as he smacked his chest and pointed at the baby in his arms.
“It’s me, Niko Hicks. I’m your boyfriend, and this is our son. You were pregnant with him for ten months before you gave birth to him! How could you forget about us? I-Is it because we’re meeting you here, and you find it humiliating?”
