Chapter 1633:

“Could it not be immediate?” The woman appeared eager to depart.

“Do not attempt to negotiate with me.” Rhett’s warning echoed sternly.

“Very well.” The woman conceded.

Upon concluding the conversation, Rhett swiftly erased the call log. He positioned himself by the window, observing the cityscape momentarily before retiring to his bed.

Elsewhere, departing from Rhett’s hospital quarters, Nicole hesitated at the elevator before opting to pay a visit to Jarrod’s room.

Inside, Jarrod reclined upon a bespoke bed, his demeanor grave. Lines etched his forehead, suggesting a troubled slumber.

Rarely had Jarrod appeared so debilitated. As Nicole hovered at the threshold, poised to enter, her phone buzzed with a notification. It was a call from Austin.

“Mom, when shall you arrive?” Austin’s query was innocent.

Nicole saw it was almost 9 p.m. Stipulated by agreement, she could solely visit Austin, constrained from removing him beyond the villa, thus necessitating her immediate presence.

Nicole’s recent visits to Jarrod’s estate had become frequent, capitalizing on his absence to evade discomforting encounters.

Facing the phone, Nicole said, “I’m coming right now.”

Jarrod, unaware, remained oblivious to Nicole’s visitation.

Upon Nicole’s arrival, Austin, already cleaned up, anticipated a storytime session.

Upon unfurling the storybook, Austin abruptly inquired.

“Mommy, will it be a sibling, a brother or a sister?”

Nicole momentarily froze. Austin had never broached this subject previously. She intended to defer the conversation until later in her pregnancy, but evidently, he was already aware.

Setting aside the storybook, Nicole inquired, “Austin, who informed you of my pregnancy?”

Austin responded, “Kamilah did. I yearned to see you, and Kamilah informed me of your pregnancy and cautioned against bothering you.”

He inquired further, “Mommy, does pregnancy mean there’s another little one in your tummy?”

Nicole nodded, “Yes, it means there’s another little one in my tummy.”

“That’s splendid!” Austin exclaimed; his joy apparent.

Nicole affectionately squeezed Austin’s cheek and explained, “I postponed telling you because we traditionally wait three months to ensure a safe and healthy birth.”

Austin replied, “Alright, Mommy, this baby will assuredly be healthy.”

Nicole beamed. “Do you like the idea, Austin?”

“I do. I always wanted a companion, so I won’t be lonely,” Austin replied.

“Your appreciation warms my heart,” Nicole said, enveloping him in an embrace.

Austin stated firmly, “Mommy, I will cherish this baby forever, regardless of whether it’s a brother or sister. Even if I’m not here, the sibling will keep you company and give me peace of mind.”
