Chapter 86 - Life With James Santelmo (2/2)

Nina was shocked by his question. She felt a sudden fear of the possibility that she was pregnant with Andrew's child. She was scared that Paolo would hurt her if he found out she's pregnant.

”N-No. It's impossible. I'm on birth control so I'm sure I-I'm not pregnant.” She stammered.

James didn't say a word and just stared at her. Then he walked closer and crouched in front of her.

”I'll buy some test kits and you have to test in front of me.” He said.

Nina's heart felt like it would burst out from pounding so loud. Her lips suddenly trembled, and tears fell from her cheeks.

”W-What if I'm pregnant? Will you tell your father and force me to get an abortion?” She asked.

James felt that his heart was being stabbed. She was his wife but her heart belonged to her ex-husband. He couldn't blame her. It was their fault not hers that she was in this mess.

He glanced at her belly when she touched it then looked at her directly into her eyes.

”No. I won't tell father now. I'll tell him after a month maybe. We'll tell him it's mine. I'll be your child's father.” James said in a serious tone.

He couldn't understand why he was doing this for her. He loved Nina, but was it really that deep that he could lie to his father about her pregnancy? He thought to himself.

”B-But what about the date, the month? They'll know.” She said in a worried voice.

James sighed. If she was really pregnant, they'll ask them about the baby's age. It would be dangerous for both of them, but he was willing to risk his life for her.

”I'll think of something. Just go with the flow and agree on everything I tell them.” He answered.

Nina bit her lips and nodded.

”W-Why are you doing this? Your father would kill both of us if he finds out about this.” She asked.

James slightly smiled then patted her head.

”I don't know either, but I don't want to see you cry.” He answered.

It was positive when she tested herself. James didn't say a word and didn't sleep in the bedroom for two nights.. When he came back, he said he planned about everything they had to do.
