A Mistake… A Baby!

“Alessandra, I need to have a conversation with your father. Because your dad and I are such good friends, it makes me sick to think of what my eldest son has done to you.” Leo McKnight said. “It’s better so that your father and I can talk about your marriage,” once they entered the living room after going into the kitchen. Leo called for the presence of all of his children, and they are all now here.

Her eyes dilated. “W-What?! A marriage?!”

Cora gave a slight nod in response. “Oh, yes, dear. Alessandra, it seems that Cade should be the one to answer this. You two have had a relationship for a long time. You wouldn’t have admitted your relationship if we hadn’t been able to catch you first.”

Caleb can’t help but step in and intervene. “Sandy, our parents are absolutely right. Cade ought to have enough maturity to take responsibility for this situation. Hey, we think of you as part of our family. You’re not simply Cathryn’s best friend; you’re a family to everyone. You should get married to Cade,”

What he said brought Alessandra to the brink of tears. She felt like yelling out to everyone that the only person she ever wanted to marry was Caleb.

Leo nodded. “You are absolutely right, son. I am unable to tell you what took place with your older brother. But, I find it hard to think that he would have even bothered to pull Alessandra to his women’s collection. Benjamin is going to feel terrible about it! How could I possibly confront him at this point?” The elderly man appears to be annoyed.

Cade’s expression changed to one of annoyance, and he stood up. Growling, he exclaimed, “Wow, hearing these remarks from my family feels like I’m the most terrible guy here.”NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Cora made a valiant effort to stare at her son. “If you do not want to hear these words from any one of us, then you should marry Alessandra. I didn’t raise a careless son,”

The elderly lady faced her directly. smiling. “Your wedding should be arranged through us. I hope that the two of you will tie the knot the following month.”

“But–”

“Sandy, you need not be concerned. We will see to it that nothing goes wrong. Simply relax. Cade won’t disappoint you in any way.” Caleb reassured her and even touched her palms to show his concern.

“I hope you’ll consider marrying Alessandra, Cade. Be a man. You can’t just ignore the responsibilities you have to her. Do you understand me?” His father’s questions were fit for a king.

Alessandra couldn’t read Cade’s expression. “Sure, dad.”

The pair sat together and drank tea. “Good. Now, since that is decided, I will give Benjamin a call right away and let him know about this fantastic news.”

Alessandra hid her gaze by closing her eyes. What is this, a miracle? If it was Caleb that she was going to marry, then maybe, and yes. But no, it turned out to be Cade! She has decided that she would rather lose her virginity than marry an egotistical jerk.

Cade glared at her with disapproval after the other couple and Caleb had left the room. “Alessandra, I’m sorry to say that we won’t be able to discuss this topic right now. I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I have an urgent meeting in the office,” he said.

Her tone comes out as irritating. Then, proceed. “Why do you have to tell me these things?” She said in a scornful tone, “Well, I would prefer it if you didn’t go back here.”

His lips began to part. His features became more sallow. “Let’s discuss this when I get back,” he said.

After a moment, Cade was no longer in her sight. Cathryn tapped her on the arm, and she felt it. It was almost as if she forgot that her friend was standing right next to her.

“Sandy! You’re not being very nice to my older brother, are you?”

She did nothing more than roll her eyes. Cathryn’s face was saddened.

“I have some concerns about you. What do you feel?”

She was unable to control the tears that began to form in her eyes and began to flow freely down her cheeks. “I can’t believe I did that, Cath! I’m so foolish! Why didn’t I check to see if it was Caleb before lying next to the bed? My strategy has been a complete flop. You are aware of how much I despise Cade, right?”

Her friend held her tightly. “Sandy, I have no idea what you should do in this situation. I don’t want to cast the blame on you, but this was entirely your choice and your consequence. Now see where that got you!” she chortled with amusement.

She gave her friend a dagger look. Cathryn let out a sigh and raised both of her hands in the air. “Alright, I’m sorry. Don’t get so worked up. What other options do we have? You were devirginized by my older brother Cade, and hence he is responsible for you.”

That was a reality that she refused to acknowledge in any way. The jackass is undoubtedly making fun of her stupidity right now.

She gave a slight nod in response. “Cath, I don’t want to marry your brother Cade,” she told her best friend. She said that with a solemn expression.

Cathryn’s eyes widened. “What?! Sandy, you are such an idiot! Cade steals your purity, and it is imperative that you hold him responsible. What if you get pregnant?” She was overcome by an unexplained state of anxiousness.

“Sandy, you know quite well that won’t take place. Don’t exaggerate the situation like that. We only have one sexual encounter. Aside from that, I get a distinct impression that I will have my period today,” That is an utter fabrication.

Cathryn moved her arms in a tapping motion. “Anyway! He laid claim to your virginity. Anyway, you’re lucky with my brother. He is attractive and has a successful business career on the horizon. What other kinds of things are you looking for?” Her utterance was one of shock and astonishment.

She cast a furious glance in her direction. “Hah. Cath, there are moments when I just don’t believe you. You’re talking to me as if you don’t already know the answers to your questions. It’s because I have a personal dislike for him. I love Caleb.” She let out a sigh.

“Is it true that you won’t ever like my older brother Cade? Even if it’s just a little bit? You won’t find him attractive, do you? Cade has a more alluring appearance than Caleb. I’m not even trying to embellish the facts,”

It turned out that what Cathryn had said was accurate. It is not a secret to her that Cade has more sex appeal and is more handsome than Caleb, and this is something she is aware of. A great number of ladies wept uncontrollably for Cade. But her true affection lies with Paul. Caleb is the ideal man for her.

She gave a shrug of her shoulders in response. “I can honestly say that I don’t feel anything toward him. I love Caleb. I don’t want to get married to Cade,” she said.

Cathryn did nothing but glance at her with pitying eyes. “Even if it were possible for me to help you, Sandy, there is nothing that I can do. The choice has already been made by Dad. You are aware that his remarks carry the weight of the law. You need to comply,”
