A Mistake… A Baby!

They only have a modest wedding party for family and close friends. Alessandra was adamant that she only wanted a straightforward ceremony. In defiance of the expectations of Cade’s mother and her mother’s father. They want a huge and beautiful church wedding. Even though she and Cade decided to get married in the church, the ceremony itself took place in a more intimate chapel. Due to the fact that the McKnight family had numerous connections that could help her and Cade with the process of getting married, the wedding was completed in a relatively short amount of time.

“Dad, Aunty Cora… I believe it is time for me to leave now. My fiance contacted me and informed me that she has an emergency.” After the liturgy, as they were parting ways, Caleb stated, “I need to be there for her.”

Leo indicated his comprehension with a nod. “Okay, no problem. But before you do that, you need to get permission from your older brother and his wife,” The old man said.

Caleb shifted his focus to look at his older brother. “I’m sorry, Cade, but I won’t be able to make it to the reception with you guys. My fiancée needs my presence. I really hope that you can get it,”

She is unable to interpret the look that Cade is giving her. “Sure. Take care of yourself, Caleb,”

“I was going to mention something earlier, but I completely forgot, so… congrats! I had no idea you were going to marry Sandy. You just sit around and wait for your luck, aren’t you?” Following the embrace, the young man shifted his attention to her.

“I’ll go ahead, Sandy. I hope that you and my older brother have a wonderful marriage together. My present is at home. I do not doubt that dad will hand it over to both of you. I wish you the best of luck in your married life. Be positive at all times,” She was able to see that Caleb was genuinely delighted for them both.

Alessandra had a distinct impression that she was about to cry. She had not been in the mood for quite some time, and the knowledge that he was going to leave made her lose her appetite even more.

“I see. Okay, take care of yourself, Caleb.” The tone of her voice was soft and quiet.

“Saaandddy…!” She was able to pick up Cathryn’s high-pitched voice.

Cathryn was the first person she noticed when she turned around. She looked absolutely stunning in the maid of honor attire she wore. The gown is a wonderful choice for her. Cathryn gave her a peck on the cheek.

“You should both be quite proud of yourselves. Oh, Lord, please bless these two people with a child!” Cathryn has gone as far as to close her eyes, demonstrating that she is the intent of her having a baby.

Her words caused her eyes to widen, and she was about to respond when Cade’s father spoke up. “Alessandra, Catryn is absolutely correct. There is no reason for either of you to be anxious about anything now that you are married to my son. You could have a baby straight away if you wanted to. Nonetheless, I would love to have grandchildren. Already, I’m getting pumped up.”

She exclaimed in surprise. Her cheeks became reddened.

When she sensed that Cade was approaching, he grabbed her around the waist and drew her in closer.

“Dad, please stop being so scary to my wife. Don’t put any pressure on her,” Cade said as he came to her rescue.

The response of his parents was simply a shrug of the shoulders. “Well, I’m hungry now. Let’s head on over to the reception right away,”

Cade attempted to bring her closer to him but she resisted his efforts. “Should we proceed to the reception at this time?” He spoke softly to her in her ear.

But, she is no longer in the mood to travel to that place. Especially because Caleb is nowhere to be found. She is aware that she is acting haughtily. But what can she do? She had no way of fooling anyone into believing that she approves of the current events.

“Cade, I’m not hungry at all. If you would want to go to the reception and have something to eat, I will not object to that. But I really doubt that I’ll be able to make it. I have a headache all of a sudden,” she gave as her reason for leaving.

What was the purpose of her getting there if Caleb wasn’t going to be there?

The expression on Cade’s face changed, and he realized what it was that she was talking about. Yet he did not act violently against her in any way.

“Dad, mom… It looks like my wife won’t be able to make it to the reception,”

The McKnights gave her a worried look, which caused her to feel as though she had done something wrong. “Alessandra, how are you doing? Everything okay?”Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.

She made an effort to put on a smile. “Right now, I’m suffering from a terrible migraine… I am very sorry,”

The nods of comprehension came from Cade’s parents. “Okay. We understand. Cade, please take pity on your exhausted wife and offer her a rest; she has been standing for a very long time.”

The only response they got from Alessandra was a smile. Cathryn seemed to be aware of the reason behind her sudden reluctance to attend the celebration.

Cade hauled her out of the church and into the parking lot, where he waited for her in his vehicle. He stepped aside and opened the door for her, and she went in without raising an eyebrow.

He opened the hood of the automobile. He heaved a sigh. “Alessandra, I beg you, please change your behavior today. This day is very beautiful. Don’t make a big deal out of the fact that my brother is no longer in the picture,”

She was unable to identify the feeling conveyed by his tone.

Alessandra gave him an angry look as she gazed at him. “Can you please not disturb me, Cade?” while clenching her teeth. “Please.”

He cocked his head to the side. She is aware that he is disappointed as seen by the look in his eyes. “There is one aspect of you that I simply cannot fathom. You have always considered that I am an annoyance to you,”

When Alessandra struggles to find the right words, Cade gets behind the wheel.

When a few moments passed, she finally became aware that Cade had stopped at an unfamiliar location. This was the moment that brought her back to the present.

“Why are we here? Cade, I am telling you the truth. I’m experiencing a migraine right now. I just need some time to relax. Please, I need us to go back to our house,”

They detained themselves in an opulent residence with two levels. It’s located within an executive village, actually.

He nodded. “You are quite correct in that regard, Alessandra. I will take you home. This is my house, sweetheart,” His voice was really bedroom-like.

Even though Alessandra didn’t want to, she and Cade were legally required to live together under the same roof once they got married. Because she doesn’t want his parents to judge or detect that there’s something wrong with their marriage, she will put up with Cade’s presence even though it irritates her even though she doesn’t want them to discover there’s a problem. After all, she is the one that gets him involved in this chaos, to begin with.

“Alright. This is your place,” She responded with a disappointed tone before opening the car door.

He let out a chuckle. “Wow. It looks from the way you are speaking and the expressions on your face that you are a successful businesswoman who has recently declared bankruptcy. Do you have any idea how fortunate you are to be Mrs. Cade McKnight?” He smirked at her.

She gave him the side eye and rolled her eyes. “Tsk. I’m afraid not! I’m very sure I have the worst luck on the entire planet to be your wife!”
