Stuck In The Wrong Marriage

Happy reading….

Hera smiled as carefree as she could when her parents and Jayden’s parents came to visit. They looked so happy even though they could only see Hera and Jayden’s babies from behind the transparent glass. The cute baby is still in the incubator. Even Hera herself was still not allowed to see the child up close.

“He’s so handsome,” said Elvis, Jayden’s father proudly embracing the boy who was standing beside him.

“Of course. Isn’t he my son?” said Jayden also praising the little baby inviting laughter from all of them.

“Jayden, Hera, do you guys have a name for your handsome baby yet?” asked Hera’s mother, Anne.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

Jayden and Hera looked at each other. After Jayden’s departure that day he never came to the hospital to see Hera. He was too busy spending time with Elena and also taking care of his work. Until two days passed, then he came with his parents and Hera’s parents. That too was forced.

Hera and Jayden didn’t have time to discuss their child’s name. Even Hera thought Jayden wouldn’t care at all.

“Of course.”

But Jayden’s answer made Hera look at him confused.

“Juan Xavier,” Jayden continued.

“Wow! What a great name, Jayden,” said Jane, Jayden’s mother.

They all smiled satisfied with Jayden’s answer. But not with Hera. She instead glared at Jayden there.

‘I should have named my son, not that bastard.’ Hera screamed. She did not accept Jayden who gave the name to her son. Although it is undeniable that Jayden is the father of the child. He also has rights.

“So when can you come home?” asked Anne, holding her daughter’s hand, which still looked pale.

“Just waiting for my baby’s condition to improve, Mom,” replied Hera, smiling faintly.

Jayden and Jayden’s parents had gone home early. Hera was sure that Jayden would never return there, so she had to prepare an answer if her parents asked.

Anne stroked the child’s cheek gently. “Are you all right?” she asked in a slightly worried tone.

“I’m fine, ma’am. What’s wrong?” Hera did her best to hide her panic. Is it obvious that she not doing well? Even though Hera already felt that she was hiding her problem well.

“But you don’t look like that. Did you have a problem with Jayden?”

A mother’s instinct is never wrong. If Hera hadn’t thought of anything, she would have told her everything Jayden had done to her. But Hera couldn’t do it so she just hugged her mother. Hiding behind the body of the woman who gave birth to her.

“I’m okay, Mom. Really. I’m fine,” Hera whispered, starting to sob.

Anne knew very well that her daughter was not doing well. But as a mother she couldn’t force Hera to tell her story, especially when it came to her household with Jayden.

Anne did not interfere as much as possible. It was also asked of the Jayden parents. Let their own children take care of their problems. But if they came to tell stories, Anne wouldn’t mind either.

“It’s okay if you don’t want to talk. I just hope that you are always happy. Especially now that you have Juan,” said Anne, stroking Hera’s hair gently.

“Yes, ma’am. Hera also always expects the same thing,” said Hera. It’s not just words but a prayer.

They broke their hug when they heard the boisterous voices of two men approaching Hera’s living room. It was the voices of Jayden and Andrew, Hera’s father.

Hera and her mother just smiled faintly when they saw the two men enter. If he was in a situation like now, Hera seemed to forget that he and Jayden were in a bad situation.

They look like a big happy family. Full of jokes and laughter. Hera chuckled sadly as if mocking her own destiny.

“Honey, the doctor said you can come home the day after tomorrow,” Jayden said, moving closer to Hera and stroking her hair gently.

Hera looked up. Smiling sideways to see her husband with all the skits. Maybe if Hera hadn’t known Jayden’s rottenness things would have been different. Where he would be so grateful to have Jayden with him.

“Is our child all right?”

Like Jayden, Hera also played her role well.

“Yeah, because he’s my son so he has to be strong,” Jayden replied.

In Hera’s gaze, Jayden could already tell that the woman was cursing herself in her heart. And that’s exactly what Jayden wanted. Hera was hurt in her own game.

“He has to be like that.” Hera said emphatically.

“You guys just make mom and dad jealous,” said Andrew looking at his daughter and men-in-law happily without knowing what was really going on.

Jayden suddenly embraced Hera. “You know dad that I love your daughter very much, right?”

Bullshit!

“Of course, son. And I’m sure that Hera is too. Isn’t that right, Hera?”

The two men stared at Hera demanding an answer. With a small smile, the woman nodded slowly. They could be smiling happily but Anne couldn’t be fooled by all that. She knows her daughter more than anyone.

Hera’s smile wasn’t real. There was something she was trying to hide behind that smile.

“Hera, how about you stay with mom and dad for the next few days?”

And Anne will not be able to stand by seeing her daughter like that. She had to find out. Although she had to be patient waiting for Hera to say everything.

“Why do you suddenly want Hera to live with mom and dad?” Jayden asked in surprise.

“I miss Hera so much. After all, being a new mother is not easy. I will teach Hera how to take good care of the baby,” said Anne. That is the most plausible reason. “How about it, Hera. Do you want to live with mother first?” asked Anne looking at Hera.

As if she was with the goddess of fortune, Hera immediately nodded. “Sure, ma’am.” Hera then looked at Jayden. “How about it, Jay. It’s okay I live with mom first?” asked Hera.

Unlucky!

Jayden had no other choice. If he refuses, what reason should he give?

Now you win Hera.

“Fine. If that’s what you want,” Jayden finally answered.
