Cold Hearted Devil Fell In Love - Chapter 172
Noah woke up and stretched he had taken today off to spend with Ivy as it was technically their honeymoon. He sat up quickly and looked around urgently, Ivy wasn’t lying in his arms like she usually would be. He was always up before Ivy and this feeling of waking up alone and her side of the bed being cold filled him full of dread.
He stood, pulled the covers off his naked body and rushed to the Bathroom where he saw Ivy sitting on the edge of the bed in his shirt from yesterday. His heart calmed down and he relaxed just seeing her. He never wanted to be without her again, his life was empty without her in it. He grabbed a pair of boxers from the bathroom cabinet and put them on.
Noah leaned against the bathroom door and asked, “Why are you up? And why aren’t you lying in bed beside me on our honeymoon?”
Ivy had woken up feeling nauseous and had crept out of bed to go to the bathroom. She sat on the cold tiles and felt a wave of heat come over her. She suddenly felt light headed and she curled up beside the bath. She felt sick but she knew like the other times she would not be sick.
The cold floor tiles helped her to cool down and she was able to sit up after a while. Once she sat up she composed herself for a while before crawling over to the cabinets under the sink. like the rest of the penthouse, the cupboards and wardrobes were filled by staff that Noah hired. There was everything she could ever need and more.
Ivy rummaged through all the moisturisers, cosmetics and medicines. Ivy then found at the back of the cupboard what she was searching for she took all five small boxes out and read through the instructions.
Back to the present moment, Ivy turned to Noah, her face was blank. She didnt know what she thought or what Noah would think. She wanted to run and looked to the door.
Noah stood and squinted at her, he saw she wanted to run from the situation. He announced, “We are husband and wife. Whatever you are thinking stop, we are in this life together now. So tell me what’s wrong.”
Ivy gulped and tried to speak but she couldn’t find the words so instead, she reached behind her and held out a white plastic object.
Noah didnt know what it was, but he had of course noticed her odd behaviour over the past few weeks. She was more tierd than usual, she was dizzy, absentminded and her eating habits had changed. He knew her in and out. Noah walked to her and knelt beside her he glanced at the plastic object before he said, “Just tell me.” He held her face so she would look at him.
Finding her voice she said, “I dont know how you feel, I dont know how I feel. I think… I think I might be… I think I might be having a baby.”
Noah smiled and said, “We are having a baby.”
Ivy glanced into his eyes they were as dark as night but sparkled like two galaxies. He never said much but the words he used always were the right ones that gave her comfort.
She giggled and said, “Yes I think we are!”
Noah pulled her to his chest and kissed her, he kissed her lips with care and love. He leaned his forehead to hers and said, “Thank you, you gave me your heart, you gave me light and now you add to our family.”
“So are you happy?” Ivy asked, she was afraid of his reaction. She didnt know that this day would come after being poisoned. She didnt like to think of that aspect of her life because the future was so uncertain but now she knows she can get pregnant and she was pregnant it was a relief that she could bring new life to their family.
Noah picked her up and carried her to his bed. He sat against the headboard and carefully sat her in front of him. Her legs wrapped around him and he rubbed her back giving her comfort.
Noah pushed a stray hair back and said, “Of course I am happy. I was happy it was just the two of us yesterday but now you are giving me the gift of adding to our family. I want to know how you are?”
Ivy dove into his arms, “I am glad we can have a baby. I didnt want to think that I couldn’t. That would mean I was useless as your wife.”
“Dont ever say that.” Noah was stern with Ivy. Seeing her look down and not feel confident filled him with anger. Why wasn’t she confident after everything they have been through and done together so he wanted to reassure her so he added.
“Ivy do you know how much I crave you, all the time.
How much I want you,
How mad I am about you.
You are without compare and I am the luckiest man alive simply because you chose me. I have seen many beautiful places, gazed at the millions of stars that illuminate the night sky alongside the moon in such a way that no photograph could ever capture its serene beauty. Even after seeing this, I can honestly and wholeheartedly say with the utmost truth that you are even more beautiful than that. Your personality, your character, your qualities, traits, your body and your very soul compounded together make you irreplaceable so dont ever put yourself down.”
Ivy stared at Noah, lost for words. His words stunned her, she beamed at him and hugged his warm chest. She then repeated, “Thank you for being so wonderful and always knowing what to say. I love you, Noah… I love you so much!”
Noah smiled and held her and said “You are enough.”
