Chapter 52 Chapter 52 - The Clarification

"Love, you do not have to go home. This is your home too. Stay with us!" Nicks mumbled.
"Yeah, Eve. Just move in with Nicka. I heard, Ellie cannot take care of Nicka anymore.
She needs to prioritize her health. We would want to help in looking after Nicka. Of course, she is our grandchild.
Let us make it up with Nicka and with you also, dear!" Mommy Vina reacted.
"It is uncommon for the people to see that I am living here in your house, Mommy Vina." I clarified my point.
"Yes, a lot of rumors might get going. Then, get married!" Daddy Ramon suggested.
"Things are getting on too fast. I guess, Nicks and I should take one step at a time for everything." I was surprised by what he said.
"Let us not pressure Eve, Dad! So, are you and Nicka taking off home?" Nicks begged.
"I will allow Nicka to stay here for a while. I think you have a lot of catching up to do.
She deserves to be with her real family. I can see that she is happy here.
I will go home first." I smiled in response.
"You are alone at home," Nicks said anxiously and clenched my hand.
"I can manage! Do not worry about me." I rationalized.
I contest goodbye to them even to Nicka who was actively playing.
I want to give them alone time with Nicka.
I am not feeling well. Perhaps because of the alterations in my body.
I feel like I have a fever. Moreover, I cannot just decide to live with the La Marcus family.
Nikolai and I have just committed. I do not think, marriage must be done abruptly just because it is a need and for Nicka.
Yes, that is what I also desire for us but of course, I want to enjoy our relationship.
And most of all, Nicks should be the one to think to propose. I cannot even imagine how we will act on TvN8 Station after all the revelations.
How do we tell them that I am committed to our CEO?
I took a shower and then went to bed. What a long and tiring day full of battles and disclosures.
Only now will Nicka be separated from me. I miss her right away. But she needs to be with her biological family.
I am also feeling weak today. My temperature is high. I will just rest and I will recover.
I was dumbfounded when my cellphone rang.
My body aches a lot. I clasped my neck. By its hotness, I could cook an egg in my neck.
Love calling...
"Hello..." I answered almost in a grumble.
"Love, are you alright?" Nicks begged on the other line.
"Yeah! I just have a fever." While I was still blindfolded.
"Just a fever? I told you to stay here at home. I will be there." he let out worriedly.
"Not anymore, Love! I will be fine after taking enough rest." I explained.
"I will pick you up. I am worried about you. Furthermore, Nicka is crying and looking for you. She cannot sleep." he announced.
"Oh no! It is just the first time she is separated from me. Just take her here." I suggested.
I do not want to be a burden in their mansion any longer.
"No, you need to rest. I cannot allow you and Nicka to be alone in the house." He insisted.
I have done nothing. Just a few minutes later Nicks arrived to pick me up.
"Your fever is extremely high, Love!" When he wielded my hand while he was driving.
"I am fine! How about Nicka?" As I closed my eyes and leaned over.
"When I told her I would pick you up, she stopped crying.
Do you need to see a doctor?" He implored again.
"No, probably my body is just adjusting by the changes in it." I am a little dizzy.
"Oh, let me apologize for what had come about. So I need to take you home." And he yanked my hand again.
Wow! It is nice to feel that you are being taken care of.
In the past, I am always looking after my loved ones.
It is good to feel that I am the priority. Happiness is what I set aside for others. I forced myself to stare and glance at Nicks. He also looked at me.
"I love you!" He said without a sound.
I smiled in excitement. Eventually, we reached the mansion.
"Mommy, Mommy!" And again Nicka cried.
"Sssshhhh baby, I thought you wanted to stay with Grandpa and Grandma?" I begged as I stroked her hair.
"I want here but I also want you to be here with me." she was still sobbing.
"You seem to have a fever, Eve!" Said Mommy Vina.
"I am just exhausted, Mommy Vina." My answer.
"Oh! Nicka, Mommy is already here. She is sick so you sleep with Grandpa and Grandma." Daddy Ramon elucidated.
"I want to take care of Mommy. Can we just sleep in your room, Daddy?" she turned to his Daddy.
"Of course, let's go! Let us all rest." Nicks agreed.
He carried Nicka and held out one of his hands to me. Then we went up to the bedroom.
In his room.
"Love, wait!" I interrupted him.
He lowered Nicka and she already came running on the bed.
"Yes, Love?" He turned to me shortly.
"I do not like it here! Nicka and I will just occupy the room we stayed in previously." I grabbed the door.
"Why? Are you thinking about Genina? About the moments we have shared here?" Nicks guessed.
But he is right! That is what I am thinking all along I shrugged.
"After we got married, we did not live here. We got a house near the hospital because of her condition. So she never stays here in my room." He deciphered.
I peeked inside and slowly entered. He led me to the bed. Then I lay down next to Nicka.
Nicks and I put her in the middle.
"I love this moment! Goodnight, Mommy, and Daddy!" And she bussed us both.
Then he both took our hand and hugged it to her.
A complete family! For the first time, Nicka and I will sleep with the man next to us.
Not just a man, he is also the father and the person I love.
The next morning, I need to get into TvN8 Station. I feel fine.
"Eve, what are we going to do? They want Luigi to be on the Love Hotline. And it was Kisses who planned for it. she called Luigi." Ella announced.
"What did Luigi say?" I asked in stun.
"We need to confirm that you are not in a relationship He is courting his officemate. She might not trust Luigi after the gossip," she justified again.
"Hi, Girls!" someone interrupted our conversation.
"Sir Nikolai!" Ella mumbled.
"Nicks!" I told.
"Love, is there something wrong?" did he call me Love here?
"I am thrilled with your endearment!" Ella giggled.
Then we told Nicks the issue and crisis between me and Luigi.
"Nikolai! I missed you!" The newcomer announced.
Kisses was about to buss Nicks but Nicks quickly avoided it.
"By the way, do you know Eve's boyfriend? Luigi! I heard they are childhood sweethearts.
Netizens said they were in the hospital for a check-up because Eve might be pregnant again.
She was absent for a long duration. Is your pregnancy finical?" Kisses' long declaration.
"Kisses, do not worry, Eve will answer the netizen's question," Nicks said unexpectedly.
I was surprised by what he let out.
Kisses can be a great author for making a great story.
So now, I am pregnant in her fiction.
The shoot for the Love Hotline undertook.
"Eve Lopez has returned to answer the buzzes that she is pregnant again and Luigi Rubio is the father of her baby." Introduction of Kisses.
I rested deeply. I will just tell the truth so I should not be apprehensive.
"Hello, Chums! First of all, I was long gone because I had a minor car accident.
Second, I was in the hospital that night because I was visiting a sick friend.
Third, Luigi Rubio is not my boyfriend. Yes, he is not my boyfriend. He has been my friend since grade school." My foreword.
"But he flirted with you!" Kisses said it which is not in the script.
"He confessed his feelings to me in the past but our friendship is enormous than any relationship.
And lastly, I am not pregnant. If I am pregnant, I will be proud and I will not hide it.
And for Izha, my friend Luigi is sincere to you. So I hope you could give him a chance. Because he loves you.
He just protected me as his best friend and nothing more!" I explained at length.
"Are you embarrassed, Eve! Do you still feel sorry for Izha?" Kisses ejaculated abruptly.
"Because your fans want to know who your boyfriend is. If not Luigi Rubio, who?
You did not commit with Jarvis, did you " another alibi from Kisses.
I looked at Director Luis but it looks like he has no intention of cutting the shoot.
Ms. Beth showed up to Kisses that she needs to read the script.
"Because the Love Hotline episode is special, someone will call us today.
He will answer the question that Eve Lopez cannot clarify to us." as Kisses read the lines.
I glanced at Ella as if asking who would call?
"Hello, Mr. Love! Wow! Love? Well, who is this Prince Charming who would answer all the questions?
It is getting exciting!" Kisses uttered.
What is happening? I went down and approached Director Luis while the camera is not yet focused on me.
What is Kisses' trick again?
When will she stop messing up with me?
