Chapter 829: 829 Move In With Her Daughter

829 Move In With Her Daughter

It was getting worse every day, Adele realized as she leaned over the toilet seat, hurling. She merely came to work when one of the men passed her by and God knows, she had no idea if the man got straight from the gym, or if he took his bath that morning at all, but the instant she caught his odor, a series of flip-ups began in her stomach.

Yeah, it was a violent dance in her stomach and it was a wonder how she was able to compose herself until she came into the privacy of her office, and here she was. These days even the smallest scent could trigger her nausea, especially a male’s.

Adele didn’t know if this was a ploy by the children to keep her off men – not that she had any space for any man in her life at the moment, not even their father – but whatever it was, all she could say was that it was working. The scent of most men upset her and Adele was not happy with such hormonal changes since the majority of people she worked and associated with were men.

Adele had no idea how long she could keep this a secret. It wouldn’t be surprising if her subordinates were beginning to suspect her – her emotional outburst, her unusual forgetfulness, the long breaks, and a lot more. However, she might be overthinking things since she was working with dumb men. But then, she had to be a lot more careful.

As usual, she sat down on the toilet floor, leaning against the wall with her head thrown back. She was exhausted, not just physically, but mentally. She couldn’t even think anymore. The weight on her was heavy, suffocating even!

At one point, Adele even questioned why she had to go through this. It would be risky to get rid of all the kids, but she would be free. However, would it be worth it? She might not even survive it thanks to complications and the thought of ending, not just one, but all four kids didn’t sit well with her.

Honestly speaking, she was tempted to call Elijah. It was right that he shared her pain, not that he would experience the pregnancy symptoms and all. But then, the thoughts of him being worried for, if not her, but the safety of the babies would bring a sense of satisfaction to her. Since he doesn’t love her, he should love his children.

But now she couldn’t tell Elijah even if she wanted to, she had a deal with Daniel. Adele sighed, rubbing her cold clammy hands down her face. Marcel would be mad at her once he hears this. But then, she needed this. She deserves it. His father, Daniel knows she’s the only one keeping their greedy relatives from coming close to claiming his son’s position and would do everything to keep her there.

Marcel’s idea was good, but Adele didn’t want to go far away. Why should she leave and go give birth to her babies in secret? All because she was a woman and got pregnant? She was only going through a natural process, how does that make her incapable? The rules were unfair.

.....

She worked hard for this and wouldn’t let any person – especially from her family – reap the fruit of her hard work, even if it involved making a deal with Daniel. Hence Marcel can be mad all he wants but he was a male and the “chosen one”. He already had it easy unlike her. She was merely securing her place.

A knock on the door woke Adele from her reverie and she quickly rinsed her mouth and washed her face before going to answer the door. She already expected it to be her assistant, the woman was the only one aside from the others who knew about her pregnancy and she trusted her to keep it a secret.

Surprisingly, it was her mother and Angelica let herself in because her daughter stood at the door without moving.

“What are you doing here?” Adele asked her when she finally recovered.

“Can’t a mother visit her daughter at her workplace and why is it so hard to get a hold of you? You work at so many places?” She grumbled, setting a lunch box on her desk.

“I’m Marcel’s underboss and handle his businesses. I have so many grounds to cover and what is this?” Adele asked, hesitantly walking over to her desk. She was cautious not to have her nausea triggered again.

“I have been making a lot of research about your pregnancy and I got recommended to a doctor. It’s been years since I gave birth to you, so I don’t know much anymore. I asked around and you need this….” She reached into her purse and brought out a vitamin bottle, saying, “This is A prenatal vitamin that you need to help with the morning sickness.”

“Thank God, you’re a lifesaver,” The words slipped from Adele’s mouth before she could stop them. She didn’t know when she began to lean on the woman, but her mother was proving to be a better person day by day.

To be honest, Adele regretted not reaching out to her before this. But then, it wasn’t too late to get to know each other more and spend time as mother and mother. The downside was that she came to her with problems in the name of quadruplets.

“You have been having morning sickness?” Angelica was not surprised, taking a seat in front of the desk.

“You have no idea,” Adele twisted the container and poured out two pills into her palm.

“You shouldn’t take that without food….” She was still saying but her daughter Adele swallowed it down her throat with the half-filled water bottle that had been on her desk before she arrived.

Angelica clicked her tongue, “You never listen, do you?”

“Before I eat and after I eat, what’s the difference when they would still get digested in my stomach?” She argued.

Angelica looked at her and shook her head in sympathy, ” Your children are lucky to have a caring grandmother like me, else I can already imagine their fate with you. Perhaps, you should take a break from work and concentrate on – ”

“What food did you prepare?” Adele intentionally cut her off, focusing on the lunch box instead.

Angelica recognized this was her tactic to end the conversation and didn’t pursue the issue further.

She said to her instead, “According to the doctor, to help relieve morning sickness, you should select foods that are high in protein, low in fat, and easy to digest. So you should avoid greasy, spicy, and fatty foods. So I made you rice, it’s bland and shouldn’t cause you any problem. ”

God must be on her side because as soon as she smelled the flavor of the rice, her appetite was stirred and she began to gobble it as if she hadn’t eaten in centuries.

“Easy,” Angelica cautioned her.

“You don’t understand…” Adele confessed in between mouthfuls of rice, “They’re so picky with food and this is the best thing that I have tasted in a while.”

“Is that so?” Angelica sighed, “This isn’t good. Perhaps, I should move in with you and I can cook good food, as well as take care of you until the pregnancy is due.”

Adele lifted her face, stunned by the request. “You think so?”

“Of course! I’ll be so happy, you don’t know how bored I am these days.”

“I’ll think about it then,” Adele said. There were a lot of things to consider if her mother was to move in with her, but if she were, to be honest, Adele needed someone by her side desperately.

Angelica’s expression lit up at the thought of her daughter even considering the thought of them living together. She was going to make up for the time lost between them.

Suddenly it crossed her mind, “Also….” Angelica brought the issue up, “Don’t you think it’s high time that we inform the baby’s father that -” The woman didn’t get to finish the rest of her comment because Adele cut her off with a glare and she swallowed the rest of her words down her throat.

Jesus Christ, the girl was so scary!

But then, for how long can her dumb daughter keep the pregnancy a secret from the father? Pregnancies like hers can’t be kept a secret even if she wanted to. She was having quadruplets for crying out loud.

Angelica had a lot of things to say to her but she had to awkwardly clear her throat and mind her business. The both of them were beginning to get along and she didn’t want anything to ruin it. Adele wouldn’t mind cutting her again, the girl could be cold-blooded when she wanted to be. She must have inherited it from her father’s side of the family. So annoying.

“I’m done,” Adele said at last after minutes of tense silence. When would her mother understand that talks involving Elijah was off-limits.

But then, something else hit her.

Angelica was in the middle of arranging the flask when Adele asked her,

“By chance, did Daniel contact you?”

She froze.
