Forced Marriage: Escaping Her Monster-Chapter 384 - Sweet Wait

Of course, Bobby didn't speak without a lawyer and his statement was straightforward.

His wife was gone leaving an uncharacteristic letter- he got suspicious- he found her car at the airport - suddenly the GPS device he had given his wife in case of emergency blinked - he went there after calling the cops- Harold ran at him with a knife - he shot him twice - Harold fell and he got his wife - the cops came.

No matter what the cops asked, Bobby kept on repeating this again and again to solidify his narrative. They let him go as it was clear that this is a case of self-defense.

He got out and reporters were standing there trying to question him but he didn't mind them and left with the lawyer. The lawyer was assuring him that the cops have found a video camera and he is trying to push for the feds to take over the case since it is connected with Emma's suicide.

Bobby said nothing. He didn't care about anything else. He informed Jerlina that Scarlett is in hospital and he is going to collect Cia from a day care. He told the same story he told the cops on how he found Scarlett wondering if his phone would be tracked. That app he downloaded has disappeared by now and he still hasn't figured out what the Pendrive was. He decided to be careful.

Jerlina seemed to have understood that there must be more to it, but she smartly didn't ask much about it. She got anxious learning that Scarlett was drugged and asked if she should visit Scarlett, but he refused her. Chippy did tell him that Scarlett is pregnant and asked him to support her decision to carry the baby to term. She was pleading with him.

He could only sigh. It seems like his wife found it safe to talk to Jerlina about her pregnancy than to him. Well, he cannot blame her, can he? It was his fault.

He asked Jerlina to stay home and that he will take care of everything. She doesn't have to travel now. She agreed only after he agreed that he will talk to Scarlett about her pregnancy in a gentle way. From Jerlina, he also learned that Jeremy still hasn't been released. He ended the call after asking her to be hopeful.

Although Jerlina thought she cares more about his wife than him, he was not angry at Scarlett. It appears that she is one of the very few who are not romantically attracted to his wife's charms.

Well, he always knew how beautiful his wife is, but he gets reminded time and time again by pests like Harold and Yuri that he should adore her more.

He collected his daughter and was relaxed seeing her bright smile. She has charmed the babysitter in the day care and that girl found it hard to let go of Cia.

Ah… I have to make sure my daughter is well-protected. She cannot have boyfriends ever! Who knows how many psychos are around there? Ah, I wish I had a boy who looks like me so that he doesn't attract psychos… My wife is too pretty to not turn people crazy…And my daughter is prettier than her mother.

Not knowing that he is better looking and handsome than ninety-nine percent of the good-looking men out there in the world, Bobby mumbled as he walked to the hospital to visit Scarlett.

He patted his chest where the Pendrive was still there. He ended up at the hospital and along with the toxicology report, they gave him her pregnancy report.

Ah… Pregnant!

Bobby had almost forgotten about it for a while as he wondered about the contents of the pen drive. But that doesn't change the fact that…

WE are pregnant, huh?

Holding Cia in his left arm, he rubbed his chest with his right hand. Although his mother didn't say it out loud, his mother wanted them to have many children. She only kept silent because Scarlett was not advised to get pregnant again.

What should I do? Scarlett cannot be put to risk.

I should talk to the doctors!

They told him that they have given Scarlett the necessary medications and that her stats are normal. There were already cops waiting to get statements from her and the doctors were talking to them to give her some time before she is questioned. 𝐟𝓇ℯ𝒆we𝒃𝘯𝒐νe𝑙.co𝚖

Bobby talked to the OB/GYN who came for a visit and explained about Scarlett's medical conditions and her addiction problems. He wanted to know everything he wanted to know about the recent situation when she is drugged while pregnant. He wanted to know the chances of the baby, but he wanted to know more about Scarlett's health.

The doctor took him to her office and explained everything to him. He listened.

Jerlina leaned on the headboard of her bed relaxed knowing that Scarlett is fine. She called Gordon immediately to thank him. He talked like usual and Jerlina was happy for him.

She wanted to ask him about the issue with Harold but then she decided that it is not important. She has doubts that nothing is superficial as it seems. The timing that Harold decided to do this is very suspicious. And she had a good idea how far Gordon could go to do what he wanted.

In the end, it didn't matter. None of her friends are hurt and it would be easy for her husband to come home now. That's what matters.

"Your husband will sleep on his bed tonight, Milady. So wait for him with his favorite dinner on the table," Gordon said and ended the call before she thanked him again.

Jerlina called Jonathan Erling. She had a feeling he might be waiting for her call and as she expected, he was. After assuring him that she is fine, she jumped down from the bed and went to the kitchen.

She, with the help of the chef who refused to leave her alone in the kitchen, prepared Jeremy's favorite dishes. Magdalene Kruger came and helped too. She then went to the shower and took a clean shower. She then wore one of Jeremy's favorite black dresses and applied some light makeup. She couldn't help but smile as she got ready.

It's been a while since she has dolled up for him and she was happy. She couldn't keep her feet from tapping as she danced to the music that filled their house. Maybe Dr. Kruger thought that she didn't want to be a nuisance, she had dinner early and retired in her room not minding Jerlina's protests.

Jerlina waited… Her feet started to hurt and she waited sitting on the couch. Her smile reduced a bit but she kept on waiting,

"He's not here yet, Earl…" she patted Earl now lying near her feet.

Earl looked up at her, his eyes perked up and he lied back on his paws. But his ears were perked.

Oh, Joel! Don't make me wait for long!𝙛𝘳𝒆𝒆𝒘e𝗯n𝗼𝘷𝚎𝚕.𝒄૦𝓶
