Chapter 180: A new resolution
Chase was dazed. His heart was beating fast. For a few seconds, he couldn’t respond to her question. He just kept his gaze on her, speechless.
Arianna’s eyes had gone teary. She saw the little girl and imagined how much she wished to have someone she could call her father. She likes Chase and decided to ask him to be her father.
Jace just kept his gaze on the girl and next on his brother. What is he thinking at the moment? Will he accept her as his daughter or will he decline her request?
Chase Hudson carefully squatted and held the little girl in his arms “What is your name?” He asked. He feels affectionate towards her at the moment.
“My name is Bella,” she said in a sweet feminine voice. Her tears ran down her cheeks and Chase hugged her immediately.
“Yes, I will adopt you. You will become my daughter and I will be your father” Chase declared, lifting her off her feet and carrying her in his arms towards the administrative building.
It was there that Chase got to know a few things about Bella. Her mother had brought her to the orphanage because she couldn’t take care of her alone.
Her father wanted her mother to abort the pregnancy. He gave her money and severed ties with her. She used the money from her father to prepare for the child’s delivery.
Now that she’d given birth to the baby, she can no longer raise her and therefore brought her to the orphanage. She’d since been in the orphanage until that day.
Chase felt his body was covered with goosebumps. A lot of women have suffered similar fate from him. He would fuck them, get them pregnant and then order them to have an abortion.
Are there such mean men like him out there? Men who know how to please themselves between a woman’s thighs and then shoved the responsibility off?
Oh God, why couldn’t he think properly and live honestly and responsibly in the past? Why did he live so recklessly and irresponsiblely in the past?
He wished he could find each of those women, he would apologise to them. He would ask them what he can offer them as compensation. He’d really slept with numerous women that he can’t remember anymore.
Chase signed some papers, had his lawyer complete whatever needs to be done, because he must leave with Bella from the orphanage.
She’s a victim of a terrible father. A man like himself. A stupid man who doesn’t want to be responsible for his actions, a typical picture of himself.
That way Bella got a new home with Chase. She wanted to return into the orphanage to pick a few of her belongings but Chase said no.
Her father is a wealthy man. He can afford whatever she wants. He held her hand and walked her over to the car, held the door for her and she got in.
Her skin was similar to his. So white. Arianna couldn’t conceal her excitement. She ran towards Chase and said “I’m so proud of you, Chase” and hugged him.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Thank you Arianna. I want to live like a proper man henceforth. And I think it begins by being a father. I am a father now” Chase chimed.
Arianna nodded. Chase has impressed her. She wished him more great life ahead. She wished that he would get reconciled with his ex-girlfriend again.
Rosalinda would be lucky to have this new rebranded Chase Hudson as her man. She only hopes things work out well between them.
That evening just before the party begins, Jace received the medical report from Arianna’s check up the previous day.
Chase was in the garden with Arianna while Bella was with Eli in the kiddies room where there are a whole lot of toys and playthings.
Jace glanced at the report in his hands and a lone tear dropped from his eye. Arianna had a miscarriage that evening, it only means that she was pregnant.
No wonder the pains and heavy bleeding. He suspected that she was pregnant when he saw her throwing up. But what would have caused the miscarriage?
He suddenly squinted, he asked her to come along with him to the hospital but she refused. It only means that she knows what was happening, she doesn’t want to go to the hospital.
Then Richard called. He remembered answering the phone and the latter asked how it was going. So it was Richard and Arianna’s arrangements to terminate the life of his unborn child?
Arianna did that? She killed her own baby because she is at the peak of her so-called career? An unborn baby murdered because of a damn career?
Jace sobbed. His eyes were red. He couldn’t believe his fiance had become so cruel to the extent she could kill his baby. What has he done to Arianna for her to do this to him?
It was at this time that Arianna walked into the bedroom. The party was about to begin and Eli was dressed in his princely attire and Bella looked like a fairy princess.
“Darling, the party is about to begin. Aren’t you dressed yet?” Arianna asked, walking over to him as he sat with his head bent on the bed.
There was no response. Arianna went further and touched Jace, trying to get his attention when the latter shoved her hand aside and stood up, glaring at her intently with reddened scary eyes…
