Avaricious Hearts

Chapter 48: The New Blessing

NEIL'S POV

I am so frustrated with my wife so I simply walked out of the room, stay away from her for a while. 

I have to cool down before my bubble burst out. I don't want to say something ill on her that I will regret later. I am starting to lose my cool.

I went outside to walk around the hotel. I stayed on the garden and just look at the flowers blooming all over the place. 

I took out my phone and saw Courtney is calling me.

"Hello?" I answered the call in an irritated tone. 

I am fed up with my wife's shits. I want to understand her but I don't get her. 

I don't get it why she can't just fucking enjoy this trip. She's ruining everything!

(You sound upset, Matty. Something wrong?) she asked in a worried tone (How's Cleo?)

"She's still fucking devastated about not being pregnant" I said in an angry tone. I can't be angry at my wife directly so I am directing my frustrations to other "She's ruining my mood and she's overreacting everything! I'm on the verge of losing my cool and I think another word from her will totally snap me" 

(Chill, Matthew Neil) she said and gave me a nervous laugh (You're scaring me)

I sighed. "I'm sorry" I massage my temple "What made you call?" I asked

She drew a deep breath 

"Is there any problem there?" I worriedly asked. 

(Ikaw na nga ang magsabi. He's upset and I am scared) 

I heard her talk to someone else at the other line. Nexiel most probably.

(You can always tell him that you were wrong) I heard my brother said

(Tell that yourself. It's your plan to start with) Courtney countered

(Congratulations, brother) Kuya Nexiel said in the phone

"What the fuck?" I asked in my most irritated tone. 

(You're going to be a father. Courtney played a prank on you and said it's negative but it really is a positive) he said in his usually enthusiastic tone

I heard him curse on the other line and I heard Courtney shouting at him.

(It is your brother's idea to threw the prank. I'm sorry, Matthew. Anyway congratulations for your baby. Remind Cleo not to drink coffee and avoid stressing herself. She's seven weeks pregnant. Congratulations. And please don't be mad. Love the both you" then she made a kissing sound before ending the call.

I stared at my phone with a semi-parted mouth.

What the fuck is going on? 

I am still absorbing what they just said.

Then a sweet smile formed my lips when it finally dawned on me.

Fuck! My wife is pregnant!

I smile like a fool then jump with so much bliss. "YES!" I threw my fist in the air and smile at everyone looking at me.

I immediately returned to our room and found my wife sleeping again. 

I want this to be special. I will tell her the good news in a special way.

While I am walking towards the reception's desk, I feel my hands itching to punch my asshole of a brother.

I hired the pool area for the night and asked some people to help me prepare the area. This cost me a lot but it will be worth it.
