Chapter 250 - Expecting? (1/2)

When Santiago and Persephone reached Valencia and Nash's house, they were stunned to see Valencia sitting on the steps of the gate, her hands holding her head. Her face appeared ashen as if she was lifeless.

”What happened, Val?” Santiago asked his sister as he took the seat next to her, rubbing her back. She leaned into his embrace as she gazed up to look at her brother.

”Did Nash and you fight?” Persephone asked next. She hadn't seen her best friend so lifeless before.

Valencia shook her head. ”I'm nauseous. Been throwing up for a while.”

Persephone's mouth formed in an 'O' as she sat next to Valencia on the other side and grabbed her hand in excitement. ”Wow. Congratulations. I'm so happy for you guys.”

Valencia and Santiago both scowled at her. She has been throwing up to the extent of passing out and here Persephone was congratulating her. What was wrong with this woman?!

”Come on, guys!” Persephone said, rolling her eyes. ”Don't make that face. She is throwing up. And she is nauseous too. Don't you understand what it means?”

Santiago, who now had an understanding of the matter, looked at his sister who was done with both of them. Then, he shook his head and glanced at his a bit dumb but overly excited wife, heaving out a sigh.

”Persephone, do you by any chance remember that my sister is a gynaecologist?” Santiago asked his wife who used her lips.

”If it makes anything easier to know that I'm currently on my periods,” Valencia too replied. Why was her best friend so concerned about others' lives? She wished that Persephone started thinking about her own love story too. Then, her gaze fell on the light hickeys her sneaky sister-in-law was trying to hide. Someone had a good time together. She resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

”Seems like Nash is not working hard,” Persephone grumbled and Villain lightly pinched her. ”Oww. Stop pinching my butt, Santiago!”

”I don't know about my fiance but my brother is surely working hard for baby number two,” Valencia commented, gathering the energy to retort.

Persephone waved her hands, dismissing her claim. ”Give my honey pot some rest!”

”What?! What honey pot?” Valencia asked her, bewildered as she looked around to see what pot she was talking about.

Persephone patted her shoulder and pointed at the exact location, making the other two speechless and embarrassed.

”You know what, Santiago? Take your wife inside. I can't talk to her without losing my mind,” Valencia said. She didn't have enough energy to bear with Persephone's humour.

Santiago sighed and stood up to pull his wife with him. ”Aren't you coming inside?”

Valencia's face fell. ”Can you tell Nash that I have to leave for an urgent case in the clinic?”

”What's with you two? Trouble in paradise?” Persephone asked, seriously.
