Chapter 62
“What can I say? I love my beautiful Deborah so much,” Jayden said with a smile.
“I see,” the doctor replied, handing Deborah a towel to clean off the gel.
[Thank you.] Deborah gently took the towel to wipe her body.
“Alright, I’ll go prepare the prescription for the medications you’ll need to strengthen your body and ensure that little one grows up strong and healthy,” the doctor said, heading back to his desk.
Deborah smiled as she watched the doctor go.
“Well, Deborah, I have to tell you, next time we’re going to have to work really hard to get our little princess, okay?” Jayden said, winking at her and noticing the deep blush on her cheeks.
Deborah felt incredibly embarrassed by Jayden’s direct comments, which amused him greatly.
After the consultation, they picked up the medication and headed back to the car.
“Who are you texting?” Jayden asked, a hint of jealousy in his voice as they walked to the parking lot.
[I promised Elliot I’d tell him about his nephew.] She showed him the conversation with the emojis she was receiving.
“I bet he’s jumping for joy, already thinking about teaching the kid how to play video games,” Jayden said with a laugh, feeling fond of the teenager.
[I think so.]
“My love, would you accept an invitation to lunch? We should fill our stomachs. before we start working.”
[Yes, that sounds good.]
With that plan in mind, Jayden took Deborah out for lunch before heading to the office.
Meanwhile, Elliot was incredibly happy and excited about the news. He rushed towards his dad’s office to share the big news.

Upon hearing this, Elliot frowned and carefully moved closer to the door to listen. better.
“Darling, don’t treat me like this. I-”
“Isabelle, it’s not just about Roger, and you know it-”
“But George, I love you and-”
“You know, if you really loved me, why did you discriminate against the child who looks like me?”
Isabelle bit her lip at that question, clutching her dress tightly.
“That’s what I thought,” George said with a sigh. “You know, after what happened with Deborah, I realized that this divorce should have happened a long time ago.”
“What?” Isabelle was shocked to hear this, searching for George’s gaze.
“Maybe Roger wouldn’t have done all those stupid things if it hadn’t been for this.
“George, you can’t speak about your son like that.”
“But you can speak badly about your second son?”
“You know very well that I didn’t want him, but you forced me to raise him when I told you to put him up for adoption.”
“Isabelle, I wasn’t going to accept your reason for abandoning our son just because he wasn’t the girl you wanted.”
Elliot noticed his mother starting to cry. He now understood why she never loved him or treated him with the same affection as Roger–was it just because he was born a boy?

“Don’t worry about that, Ms. Isabelle,” Elliot said, standing in the doorway.”
Because the first grandchild of the Peterson family already exists and is growing in Deborah’s womb.”
