My Contracted CEO Husband Has Gone Bankrupt

Olive's Dilemma

Alonso Fields stood hesitantly at the door of their luxurious beachfront villa, unsure whether to approach Olive Patton. He gazed at her from a distance, his heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty. The crashing waves of the ocean mirrored the turmoil in his heart, as if nature itself was urging him forward.Olive could sense Alonso's presence, even without looking directly at him. She knew he had overheard her earlier conversation with old Mrs. Fields, where they discussed the topic of having children. She had intended to delay the discussion, knowing that even if she wanted to get pregnant, it wouldn't happen so quickly. Conceiving a child required more than just preparation; it depended on fate. So, she had informed old Mrs. Fields that they were in the process of preparing for pregnancy.She had originally planned to discuss it with Alonso later, but now it seemed he had misunderstood and believed they were ready for children.But she didn't want that.Olive turned her head, avoiding Alonso's gaze, and nervously twirled her fingers. The weight of the conversation hung heavy in the air between them."I...I was wondering...what do you feel like eating?" Alonso's voice trembled slightly, his face no longer showing the previous anxiety and frustration. His eyebrows lifted slightly, and his light-colored eyes sparkled with a newfound hope.As Alonso finished speaking, both he and old Mrs. Fields turned their gaze towards Olive, waiting for her response.Olive stammered, her mind still reeling from the revelation. "Anything will do, just something quick. I want to go home...""Okay." Alonso nodded firmly, then quickly left, striding out the door. His footsteps echoed in the hallway, a reflection of the urgency in his heart.As Olive listened to the hurried footsteps fading away, she pursed her lips, feeling a bit troubled about how to talk to Alonso later. Did he really want a child? It made sense though, why wouldn't he? He had no concerns or worries about having a child. With the Fields family's wealth, raising a child wouldn't be difficult. As long as they raised the child well...Just like she had grown up.*On the way back, Alonso drove while old Mrs. Fields and Olive sat in the back seat, heading to their villa nestled amidst lush palm trees and vibrant tropical flowers. Throughout the journey, old Mrs. Fields chatted with Olive, who obediently answered all her questions. The warm island breeze tousled their hair as they traveled along the scenic coastal road.Occasionally, Alonso glanced at the two women in the rearview mirror. The sunlight illuminated Olive's translucent porcelain skin, making it glow with an ethereal radiance. The light and shadows danced on her dark hair, giving it a glossy sheen that matched the sparkle in her eyes.At that moment, Olive fluttered her long lashes and met Alonso's eyes in the rearview mirror, giving him an embarrassed glare.Can't he focus on driving?Alonso seemed to understand the annoyance in her eyes and quickly averted his gaze, focusing on the road ahead, his grip on the steering wheel steady and determined.He had to drive carefully. The two most important women in his life were in the car with him.They didn't speak until they arrived home. Arm in arm, old Mrs. Fields and Olive walked towards the front door, leaving Alonso behind.Olive walked through the front yard with old Mrs. Fields, listening to the rhythmic footsteps behind her. Unable to resist, she turned her head and glanced back. Alonso silently followed behind the two, his tall figure towering over them like a protective guardian.Their eyes met unexpectedly, causing Olive to quickly turn her head back, pretending she hadn't looked at him.Alonso watched her figure, her waist-length hair swaying, as if the ends were brushing against his heart, making him itch with a desire he couldn't fully comprehend.Once the three entered the house, Mrs. White, their loyal housekeeper, immediately approached to inquire about Olive's well-being. After reassuring her, Olive hurriedly ran back upstairs. It was time for her to change her sanitary pad, a reminder of the delicate balance between her desires and the reality of her body.Seeing her rush upstairs, Alonso wanted to follow, but was stopped by old Mrs. Fields."Alonso, come here," she patted the sofa, motioning for him to sit down.Alonso had no choice but to retract his foot from the stairs and return to sit beside old Mrs. Fields."What's wrong with you?" she immediately questioned, her voice filled with concern. "Olive isn't feeling well, and you can't be a bit more considerate? You brought her home, but you don't seem to care about her. Who will care for her if not you?"Alonso opened his mouth, ready to defend himself, but swallowed his words at the last moment. He knew old Mrs. Fields was right.Old Mrs. Fields continued, her voice softening. "Olive came from Ives Estates to marry you in Aloha. Her relatives are not in Aloha, and you are the only one she has. You need to take better care of her, understand?""I understand," Alonso solemnly replied, feeling his heart soften with each word. He realized the weight of his responsibility towards Olive, and he vowed to do better.Yes, he brought Olive from Ives Estates to settle in Aloha. The distance between the two cities alone was a four to five-hour flight. She left behind her familiar surroundings and came to his side with no family, and he was the only one she could rely on.After a few more words from old Mrs. Fields, seeing Alonso's positive attitude, she let the matter rest. No matter how much she said, it was useless. The key was to see his actions.When Olive came downstairs, old Mrs. Fields called Mrs. White to discuss what lunch to prepare for Olive's health. Old Mrs. Fields enjoyed cooking, so she and Mrs. White went into the kitchen, leaving Olive and Alonso alone in the living room on the first floor.Once old Mrs. Fields left, the atmosphere between the two became charged with a mix of anticipation and uncertainty.Alonso saw her sitting on a small sofa in the distance and waved his hand at her, a silent invitation."What's up?" Olive didn't move. She didn't want to go over when he beckoned her like a pet.Seeing her reluctance, Alonso took matters into his own hands. He stood up and walked towards Olive, stopping in front of her. He leaned down slowly, using the armrest of the sofa for support. Olive had no choice but to lean back, but there was no way to retreat, as he had trapped her on the sofa."What are you doing?" Olive pushed his shoulder, but he didn't budge. His presence was overwhelming, his closeness intoxicating.She was trapped on the small couch, having to look up at him. Olive felt as if there were flames hidden in his gaze, ready to ignite her. She quickly averted her eyes, but felt the man's hot breath suddenly close. Her earlobe became damp as he lightly sucked on it, sending shivers down her spine."Ah!" Olive exclaimed softly, quickly covering her own ears. Mrs. Fields was still here, and could come into the living room at any moment. How could he do such a thing here?Alonso looked at the faint blush on her cheeks and remembered what she had said in the hospital room. He couldn't help but curl his lips, his desire for her growing stronger. Feeling the heat rise, he lowered his head and pecked Olive's lips, a gentle and passionate kiss that left them both breathless."Mmm!" Startled, Olive quickly covered her mouth again, muttering through her palms, "My mother is still here!"Seeing her busy covering her ears and mouth, Alonso's smile grew wider. He loved her playful nature, her ability to be both innocent and seductive at the same time."Do you want a child?" His voice was filled with a mix of longing and hope, as if the answer to this question held the key to their future.Olive was stunned, slowly lowering her hands. She clasped her hands tightly in front of her abdomen, staring at Alonso in a daze. She saw the anticipation in his eyes, and her heartbeat slowly calmed down. She felt a mix of unease and hesitation, unsure if she was ready to take this leap.She remained silent for a moment, and finally just asked, her voice barely a whisper, "Do you want one?"She almost guessed his answer, but still held a glimmer of hope.However, without hesitation, Alonso nodded, his eyes filled with a deep love for her.Just the thought of having a child with Olive, he seemed to have many dreams and aspirations. He wanted to create a family with her, to share their love and create a future together.Seeing him nod, Olive lowered her eyes, her eyelashes fluttering rapidly. Her heart was torn between fear and longing, but she knew deep down that she wanted this too."Then let's have one..." she whispered almost inaudibly, her voice filled with a mix of vulnerability and determination.And in that moment, as they sat together in their beachfront villa, surrounded by the beauty of nature and the warmth of their love, Alonso and Olive took their first step towards a future filled with love, passion, and the joy of building a family together.
