Just One Kiss Before Divorcing Me (Martin and Calvin) novel Chapter 103

CH 103

Calvin

He’d known about Wil’s birthday party for weeks now, and he’d debated on what to get him, had thought about it alot, what to get him. Had thought of an overseas trip. Though with all that was going on here with him and Marilyn, he didn’t know if it was advisable. He had actually managed to get Anabell to talk to him about it. She’d been quiet on the phone for a long time and then had told him a secret that he was not allowed to tell Wil under the penalty of death.

She was trying to get pregnant and was hoping to be by Wil’s birthday, so she didn’t want him to gift an overseas trip to Wil. She had told him maybe a nice weekend away Glamping, or something like that if he was going to still want to gift a trip. But to make it local.

He’d smiled at the news and told her he’d hoped everything went to plan, and so he’d come up with a better

idea himself. He knew both Anabell and Wil drove BMWs and that Wil’s car was six years old. He’d smiled to

himself and in that moment decided that they both needed a bigger, newer and safer car to drive that baby

around in. That a new top of the line car with all the latest safety features would be an appropriate gift.

He’d brought not just one car but matching cars, a black Alfa Romeo Tonale TI for Wil, and one in white for Anabell. He’d thought it was the perfect gift for a growing family. They weren’t so low to the ground as the

BMWs were.

So there would be no ducking down and half climbing into their vehicles when that baby was born, to but it in the car seat. He’d seen his sister Cheryl struggle with that very thing after having Heather, his niece. Cheryl had a bad back and getting in and out of her car had been an issue to how low it had been. Twinging her lower back in just the wrong way as to cause her pain.

He’d offered to buy her a new car, but she’d stated “I can buy my own things in life.” Seemed a bit offended by his offer, she was quite proud.

She was a teacher and her husband and accountant, and they lived out in Dallas, and he’d seen her buy tickets to win a car more than once over the years in those shopping center giveaways. He’d taken note of

ter. Then the brand and model of the car that was available in that giveaway on that trip there to visit hi he had dummied up with the company her to take first prize, he had gotten them to agree to it by buying the car and having them announce they were giving away two cars, not one right at the very last moment of drawing the prize, and her name had been the second one drawn as an equal first prize winner.

He’d been careful to make sure the first prize drawn went to the actual real winner, so there were no issue of legality with the draw itself. She’d been very happy and excited to have won a new car, an SUV that was higher off the ground and eased her back issues when getting Heather in and out of the car. She now also had a nice story to tell about winning a brand–new car.

Now here he stood in the restaurant and smiled as Anabell told Wil she was pregnant. Everyone, go to see her gift and be in the knowledge at the same time, no arguments over who was told first and no one felt left out. Her family could be a little like that. She’d gotten around it and with ease.

Wil looked completely shocked by the news, clearly had no idea, but then he just looked as happy as Anabell herself did. Wil had asked him at one point after that, while they were all sitting around eating his birthday cake, “Did you know?” and held up the keys to that new car at him.

Anabell smiled right at him. No real annoyance came from her like it normally would, and hadn’t done for several weeks now. He was willing to be that stemmed from her and Marilyn talking now, like they’d used to back in the day. He also thought that just maybe, she could also see that he really was trying to be a better person where Marilyn was concerned.

He’d gotten a good morning text every morning, since they’d snuck that phone away with them, and realised just how much of a pair of early risers they were. Those two were up with the sun every day. He’d smiled when reading it and sent back a simple ‘Morning boys.’ It was he knew how he was going to address them on a daily basis, when he could be around them all the time.
