Chapter 1347: Let Me See Her One Last Time
“What do you mean?”
Sam couldn’t dare to think further. His usually calm and deep black eyes rippled with waves of emotion.
The surprise came so quickly that he couldn’t believe his own understanding.
“What did you say? Are you really willing to have the baby?”
Pearl nodded firmly, whispering in his ear, “This is my child too. Of course, I want to have it. I want you to owe me for the rest of your life!”
This way, she had a reason to keep waiting.
Cheyenne had just said that she could try to save Sam’s life.
No matter if it took ten or twenty years…
She would wait for him.
Sam owed her so much; how could she let him forget her so easily?
Before today, Sam had thought about many things. Even if Pearl had come specifically to tell him she was going to abort the baby…
He wouldn’t dare stop her.
Because he had no right to ask her to sacrifice anything more for him.
“But you’re still young. Do you really not regret it? What if you meet a man better than me in the future…”
Before he could finish, the girl sealed his lips with a kiss.
Pearl thought, “I don’t think I’ll ever fall for anyone else because my first love was you, Sam…”
“Pearl!”
With the woman he loved in his arms, Sam could no longer suppress his feelings.
He immediately wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her completely into his embrace, deepening the kiss.
Breathless, Pearl expressed her feelings.
“I won’t regret it because there are things more important than life in this world. The challenges people face are all about making choices.”
“The determination without hesitation and the sacrifices that must be made, the suffering that needs to be endured… I’ve thought about all of it.”
“This is the path I’ve chosen. I don’t regret it.”
“Sam, I just want to ask you… Have you ever loved me without any calculations? Even if it was just for a minute, a second!”
After asking this question, Pearl trembled with anxiety.
She was so afraid of getting the same cruel answer as at the wedding. No matter how strong she was, a broken heart couldn’t bear to be shattered again.
But she vaguely felt that he was different towards her.
Sam’s heart warmed as he lowered his head again, kissing her tender lips.
“Yes, on the night we went to the amusement park, Sam belonged entirely to Pearl.”
The amusement park…
It was the most beautiful night in their short time together. Pearl still remembered how beautiful the fireworks were that night.
She lay in his warm embrace, feeling sleepy but still wanting to talk to Sam.
“Sam, you must take me and our child to the amusement park again and watch the fireworks.”
“Okay.”
“Do you think our child will be a boy or a girl?”
“Either is fine. I like both. But I hope it’s a boy…”
He originally preferred daughters, but thinking about not being able to be there for her in the future, what if they had a daughter and she and her mother were bullied?
So a boy would be better; he could protect his mother when he grew up.
Pearl didn’t expect him to be so direct… She didn’t know what to say for a moment.
But she had always envied others who had older brothers. A baby boy would be nice too.
“Next question, you know my language lessons weren’t great. Naming should be your responsibility as the dad.”
“Okay.”
Sam had actually thought about this question long ago.
The day he found out she was pregnant, he bought a dictionary… Now his mind was full of names for their future child.
They talked for a long time until Pearl couldn’t resist sleep any longer and fell asleep in his arms.
Under the moonlight, she lay in his embrace like a cute little kitten.
Sam held her tightly and gently kissed her fair forehead.
“Sleep well. I hope you have sweet dreams.”
Finally, he placed his trembling hand on her slightly rounded belly.
“Son, you must listen to your mommy well in the future, or I’ll have your uncle scold you!”
The darkness would eventually pass. Just as dawn was about to break through the sky, a golden sun emerged from the clouds, casting its light everywhere.
Sunlight drove away the night and brought warmth.
Cheyenne didn’t know how long she had slept. She only felt a pain in her neck and groaned uncomfortably.
Instinctively, she moved closer to the source of warmth.
Kelvin was a light sleeper. As soon as she made a sound, he woke up.
He saw Cheyenne’s rosy face. She pouted slightly because she wasn’t sleeping comfortably.
To avoid waking her, even though his body was stiff and numb from sitting all night, he stayed still.
Until a prison guard walked by and said, “Mr. Foley, it’s almost time. Miss Gilliam hasn’t come out yet. If you don’t leave soon, we’ll be punished.”
His voice was loud. Kelvin worried he would wake Cheyenne and coldly said,
“Shh! Can’t you see my wife is sleeping?”
Cheyenne woke up; indeed, it was the guard’s loud voice that woke her.
She tried to open her sleepy eyes and snuggled into Kelvin’s arms before lifting her head. The action was just like Cierra when she refused to get out of bed.
“Cheyenne, you’re awake.”Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Don’t make it hard for them. Let’s go call Miss Gilliam.”
Pearl had taken a cab last night. Since they met her here, they should take her along.
“Okay.”
The couple walked back to the cell. The scene before them was so warm they didn’t want to disturb it.
The surroundings were silent and simple…
But they seemed to glow. The handsome young man sat elegantly on a chair.
The girl in his arms slept soundly, clutching his collar tightly.
As if afraid he would run away while she slept.
Seeing this, neither of them wanted to interrupt.
Cheyenne was silent for a few seconds before nudging Kelvin with her elbow. “You go.”
Kelvin didn’t want to be the one to break up this loving scene either!
He scratched his nose and thought Cheyenne should go instead.
“Uh… How about you go, Cheyenne? Miss Gilliam is a lady; I should avoid suspicion.”
“Heh… You never mentioned avoiding suspicion when dining with those women?”
Kelvin felt a chill down his spine and explained helplessly,
“Don’t be jealous. They’re just business partners. This isn’t the time for that argument; I always report my schedule.”
Cheyenne: Kelvin wasn’t as easy to fool as before.
“Fine, I’ll go!”
“Ahem… It’s morning now, Sam… Let me take Miss Gilliam.”
“Shh! Let me see her one last time!”
