Love Worth Fighting For

396 Promise

Clarke’s East House.

After the wedding full of love and warmth was over, Christian took Zwetta to one of his family’s homes in eastern Luxembourg on the border with Germany. The house with a large green yard was built by Jack twenty years ago as a gift for Anne for their anniversary.

Because Anne is from Germany, Jack deliberately made the house very close to Germany as a way to relieve his longing for Anne when she misses her homeland, which she left years ago.

Still wearing his pajamas, Christian brought a tray filled with a healthy and highly nutritious breakfast into the room. A servant who has been living in such a comfortable house immediately prepared the best breakfast for the master who was celebrating his honeymoon.

“Good morning, wife,” Christian whispers softly.

With misty eyes Zwetta looked at Christian who was sitting beside her, the smell of the food that Christian had just put on the table made Zwetta’s completely go away.

“Hungry?”

Zwetta ‘s cheeks flushed, she slowly nodded her head.

Christian chuckles. “Get up, after that you can eat. This morning Margarita made us an incredibly delicious meal, this beautiful expectant mother will love it.”

.....

“Do not tease me!”

“I’m not teasing you, I’m serious. My wife is the most beautiful pregnant woman I’ve ever seen in my life,” Christian said back in earnest.

“I will not fall for your seduction,” Zwetta curtly while trying to get up, the delicious smell of food that had been tempting her earlier made Zwetta choose to ignore the sweet seduction that Christian gave her.

Realizing that Zwetta was so hungry, Christian then grabbed the tray of tempting food from the table and moved it to Zwetta. The tray contained high quality chicken and red bean soup with tantalizing mashed potatoes on the side and a bowl of delicious salad and a slice of Margarita’s homemade apple pie which is one of Christian’s favorite foods.

“Why is there only one portion?”asked Zwetta quietly.

Christian smiled. “I’ve had coffee before, so I’m pretty full right now.”

“You have to reduce drinking coffee, too much caffeine is not good. Especially if consumed on an empty stomach, you can get stomach acid and other diseases,” said Zwetta seriously.

“It seems you are very afraid of losing me, huh?”

Zwetta shrugged her shoulders. “I just don’t want the father of my child to die quickly, I won’t be able to raise a child alone,” Zwetta casually said.

The scathing answer that Zwetta said didn’t make Christian angry at all, instead the man smiled broadly without removing his gaze full of love at Zwetta who had started eating.

“I’m not letting you raise our kids alone, Zee. Don’t worry.”

Zwetta didn’t budge, the delicious food that Christian brought really made her not stop chewing. Since discovering the tiny creature in her stomach, Zwetta’s has doubled. She seemed to have no sense of fullness and was always hungry, the nausea relievers given by doctor Caitlyn’s were really very helpful. Zwetta has very rarely vomited.

“Slow down, I won’t ask for your food,” Christian said softly as he wiped the remaining mashed potatoes left at the corner of Zwetta using his index finger, after which without disgust Christian licked his index finger in front of Zwetta.

“Christian!”

“Why, is there anything wrong?” Christian asks innocently.

Zwetta pursed her lips, Christian’s annoying attitude came back. No, Zee. You mustn’t fall for Christian’s provocation, it’s still too early to start a war.

Instead of answering Christian’s question, Zwetta focused on her food again. She tries her best to stay patient and not be tempted by Christian’s madness to tease her.

“After eating, we sunbathe, enjoy the morning sun. Pregnant women have to move a lot outdoors to stay healthy,” Christian said again.

“Without you ordering, I also really want to exercise, my whole body already feels uncomfortable.”

“What kind of sport do you want to do?” Christian immediately responded to Zwetta’s quickly, his eyes showing great concern. “Remember Zee, you’re currently pregnant. You can’t do extreme activities, your womb is still very vulnerable. You remember what doctor Caitlyn said earlier, right?”

Zwetta nodded slowly. “I know.”

“So what kind of sport do you want to do?” asked Christian back with great anxiety.

“Yoga.”

Christian’s eyes opened wide, looking so frightened. “Y..yoga? Are you serious? That sport isn’t quite extreme for a pregnant woman, is it?”

Zwetta thinned her lips, she slowly wiped her lips with the handkerchief that Margarita had previously prepared.

“You certainly haven’t forgotten what I went through while pregnant with Luna, right?”

Christian’s face turns pale, the look of fear in his eyes replaced by an expression full of sadness.

“At that time I managed to go through the most difficult times in my life because I had to experience violence from you, not only physical violence but also mental violence. Even though at that time I was also pregnant, a young pregnant woman who was quite vulnerable as you said earlier. But you see for yourself, I managed to maintain my pregnancy well even though at that time you had forced me to take contraceptive pills given by doctor Catherine. So don’t worry too much about me because believe me I will still be fine, after all yoga is not the extreme sport you imagine In yoga there are even movements that are actually good for pregnant women,” Zwetta again without guilt, even though she knew that her words would hurt Christian but Zwetta didn’t care. She has to remind Christian not to overdo it with her.

Christian’s lips tremble. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry Zee.”

Zwetta smiled a little, instead of answering Christian slowly Zwetta moved her body to get off the bed. “Don’t overdo it on me, Christ. I’m pregnant, not sick that needs extra attention like that. I know my body’s limits, don’t worry.”

“I just don’t want bad things to happen again,” Christian said hoarsely. “I don’t want what happened to Luna to happen again, I just want this child to be born healthy and perfect and so are you. I want you to wake up immediately after giving birth and be able to immediately breastfeed our child, giving him the best nutrition in the first ten hours of his life.”

Zwetta smiled. “I’ll be fine and so will this child, as long as I don’t make trouble for me everything will definitely go as expected. But if you make the same mistake as...”

“It won’t.”‘Christian grabbed Zwetta’s hand and squeezed them tightly. “I will not repeat the same mistake again, I swear. I would rather die if I had to hurt you again like that time.”
