Unwanted Wife novel Chapter 22

Cain POV

I was as if I woke up from a deep sleep because of what Monique told me, I wanted to help and understand Jewel so that she wouldn't feel alone but I added to her problem.

And now that I was talking to her, she still remained bent over and not looking at me. She had been like this since I came home one day and she cooked food for me as a peace offering but I refused it and said I was full because I had finished eating.

After that incident I noticed that she is starting to distance herself from me, I often saw her looking at me but she is always silent even Monique also noticed it. So I decided to talk to her so that we could get along. I don't want to go back to the Philippines and leave her here because we have a misunderstanding. I don't want to add to her stress because that will affect her and the baby.

"Jew," I began and she immediately looked at me but only for a moment

"Can we talk? I know we have a misunderstanding. I don't want to prolong this." I added

She immediately caught my eye. "I understand Cain, why you are like that to me, why you're angry. I know what I did was wrong and disrespectful then." She replied

"I was just driven by my emotions, I was just too worried about you when I saw you unconscious and then I found out you were pregnant." Cain said in a low voice

"I'm sorry Cain, I didn't think about how you would feel. You've been there for me since the beginning. I was too rushed with my decisions and I didn't think those people around me would be affected. I almost killed my child. I was just too scared to face the fact that I was pregnant and Thunder was the father. I had already left, but destiny itself followed me. "

The young man moved a little towards the girl. "The baby is still a blessing. Whatever problem you have with Thunder, the baby is out there. It was given to you so that you could be with someone." I said

"I don't know, until now I still don't know what to do. It happens too fast. I'm not stable yet, the dark past that happened to me hasn't healed yet and now this." Jewel confessed.

"You're strong and I know you can do it. I will always be here for you and the baby."  I reassured to her

She immediately nodded and smiled.

"Thank you, Cain! Thank you for everything. Thank you for all the things you've done to me, without you and your help I wouldn't know what to do." She said

"I will always do everything for you. You are not only my friend, but you are a sister to me." I said smiling 

"Oh! It's only for now, but when you will have a girlfriend for sure you'll be focusing on her." Jewel said jokingly

"You're too advanced thinking that way. I don't want to enter into a relationship for now ." 

"Whatever you say, you thought I didn't notice that you and Monique had something." She said simultaneously 

"That's fake news! What are you talking about." 

"What you say is different from what your eyes are telling and showing." She burst out

"It's up to you, just eat this and forget what you are thinking." I said giving her the food
