Wade was astounded because of what he heard. He didn't know how he would react or what he would say to Jane. He felt his heart flutter when he found out that Jane was pregnant by his child.
“Okay, I will admit to you that I didn't even know that I needed to take some pills to prevent myself from getting pregnant. I thought it was too easy, and it was my first time.” Jane bit her lips. A tear formed in her eyes. She was nervous because Wade didn't even say anything. It looked like Wade didn't like the idea of her getting pregnant by him.
”I thought you were withdrawing or maybe used some condoms. I'm sorry, but if you told me to abort this child, I would never do that. I don't want to kill this child.” Jane added. She gulped and looked away when she saw how Wade looked at her. Wade gave her unfamiliar emotions, and she didn't even know their meaning.
Jane sighed, feeling lost, so she stood up and didn't want Wade's to her. Her tears were slowly betraying her, and she didn't like it.
“Jane… where are you going?” Wade was confused. He watched Jane slowly walk away from him, and he couldn't understand why Jane was acting strange; when he remembered what Jane had told him, he felt happy.
Wade didn't intentionally get Jane pregnant, but all he wanted would end up with Jane, like marry her and build a family with her. Jane was always part of his plans, and now, she had no choice but to marry him.
Wade grabbed Jane onto her waist, and his eyes sparkled. “Why are you crying? I didn't even say anything.”
“Yeah, you didn't even say anything. And I'm waiting for your reaction! If you tell me now to abort the baby, I won't do that.” Jane angrily exclaimed, which made Wade widen his eyes when he saw how Jane was glaring at him.
”Baby, I didn't say anything because I was shocked, but it doesn't mean I'm asking you to abort the baby! It's our baby, so don't you dare think too bad of me,” Wade clenched his fist; he didn't like the idea that Wade was thinking wrong about him. He knew Jane was nervous about getting pregnant, but he was delighted to know everything. He wanted to make sure that he would remember everything.
“I'm hurting because you think that about me. Jane, abortion isn't one of my plans for our relationship. Aside from that, I thought we would be pushing our relationship for real, and it's not fake anymore. I can't believe that you really know how to break a man's heart.” Wade added, which made Jane feel guilty because of her choice of words.
Jane held Wade's hands and closed her eyes. “I'm sorry it's not my intention to tell you those words. I know that there are a lot of women who tell you that they are pregnant, so I'm scared that you might think that I am one of them.”
“I know that you aren't one of them. Jane, I have learned about it since the moment that I saw you with Leo. Okay, I want to ask what your plan is. I thought we had already told each other that we loved each other. I mean, like? I'm sorry, I didn't know the difference between like and love because when you told me you liked me, I thought it was love.”
“Because I love you, Jane. I always watched you from afar, especially when Leo gave me your photos.” Wade felt his cheeks burning when he admitted his stalker days. He didn't know that he would say that to Jane, but now Jane was trying to be more honest with him, so it meant he should be.
“Photos? What do you mean? Did you mean you really knew me when we met at the bar?” Jane was surprised because of what Wade had told her.
“I was with Leo that time. He took Blossom and left me with you. Okay, I purposely bumped you and talked to you. I even asked someone to pretend as my ex-girlfriend to make you believe I was trying to make her jealous. I'm ashamed you will tell me you didn't talk to me.”
“Well, Leo was trying to make me date you, but when you, I saw and realized that you are the second version of him. I know your standards in men, so I thought I wasn't qualified.”
“But, I'm stalking you and watching you from afar. I still had your photos with me.” Wade took his wallet and let Jane see her young photos.
Jane covered her mouth and tried to hide her smile. “You're such a stalker! Wade, I can't believe this. And I can't think that my cousin was trying to play like a matchmaker, and he was successful. This is why Leo didn't even tell my brother about this!”
“Yeah, he wanted me to be with you. Well, I love you, and that's what matters.” Wade sweetly mumbled; he pulled Jane so he could hug her.
Wade felt how his heart pounded too fast. He shut his eyes, ”I wanted you to marry me since the moment my eyes landed on you. And maybe, Leo helped me because he knew how it felt to watch the woman he cherished from afar.”
Jane gasped. Her heart slowly melted. “I want to smack his head but know I can't even do that. He is untouchable.”
“Let's get married, but I want to do it secretly because I don't want my brother to stop us once he discovers our relationship,” Jane added. She was sure that Uriel would choose to be violent if a man married his sister. But she liked her brother to be mad because she wanted to end how protective he was when it came to her.
Wade chuckled. “Yeah, I forgot about that part. I want us to get married, but I need witnesses to get married legally. Aside from that, I want you to marry in church, and I will ensure they see how proud I am to have you!”
“Why don't you call your mother? Let her witness how we marry each other.” Jane suggested. Wade felt nervous but too excited to tell his mother what he had decided.
Wade didn't waste a chance and informed his mother that he was going to be a father and would marry someone that night. His mother told him she would ask his grandfather, who worked as a judge, to make them match.
“Oh, my! I can't believe this! I will be a grandmother!” Wade covered his ear, and it felt like it had been damaged because his mother screamed so loudly over the phone. He even heard how his mother informed their maids and even her secretary. He couldn't believe it, what made him ashamed was his phone was on a loudspeaker, and Jane was listening too.
“Please, tell me that it is Jane Fontaine! It's been years since you kept stalking her.” His mother exposed him even more.
“Mom, please, stop humiliating me. Jane is with me, and she can hear you!” Wade felt irritated. He was blushing because he knew that his mother would tell him a lot of things.
Wade's mother chuckled before she added, “Wade, you should be proud that all of your efforts wouldn't be put to waste. Oh, I will wait for you two here at my house! Oh my, wait, I must inform them to prepare food for the celebration.”
“Mom, please, don't spread this to anyone for now. Jane wanted everything to be secret.” Wade felt exhausted when he said those words to his mother; this was the reason why he didn't want his mother to know about Jane. He had no choice but to inform his mother because she kept forcing him to marry someone.
“Is it okay if I ask why you two wanted this secret? Jane… Darling, my son is such a great man; you should be proud to have him! If you see his room here, there are some of the edited pictures of yours; he had—”
“Mom, please! Don't you dare! This isn't very comfortable! I can't believe that I'm experiencing this kind of humiliation!” Wade almost yelled. He covered his face with his hands and glared at Jane when he heard how Jane laughed at him.
“Auntie, my brother was so overprotective when it came to me. He would stop us, especially since he is Wade's friend. Aside from that, he would get mad because I was pregnant.” Jane answered; she winked at Wade, which made Wade lick his lips.
“Oh, I felt bad for my son. It's fine; I know you love him, and I will happily support you two.” Wade's mother agreed.

“Wow! Congratulations! Finally, my son is married today!” Wade's mother cried while she was hugging Wade. “My baby boy! I don't know why I'm sad and happy simultaneously.”
Wade was stunned. His eyes moistened, but he tried to stop himself from crying because Jane was watching him.
“Mom, please, stop crying. I don't want to cry in front of my wife.” Wade's tone cracked. Jane felt a sincere smile before she hugged Wade's mother too.
Jane knew that Wade's mother was trying to force him to get married because she thought that Wade wouldn't change for playing random women.
“Mommy, think that you have a daughter now. Don't worry. I know that Wade loves you, and if you want us to visit here, we can visit here. Especially because I'm pregnant.” Jane mumbled, which made Wade's mother nod at her.
“You're such a great lady. I'm proud that my son married a strong woman, so if Wade did something nasty, you could crack his head.” Wade's mother jokes.
“You are my mother, and you wanted Jane to be violent on me. Seriously, mom?” Wade's tears stopped when he heard how his mother spit some bad jokes.
“If you cheat on your wife, I will make sure that I spank your butt, and I don't care if you're an adult now.” Wade's mother replied.

After two months,
Erin smashed the vase and almost yelled in madness when she saw that Leo was a hot topic again. The whole world thought that Leo and Blossom were such a great couple.
“Blossom, I hate you to death! If I can't have Leo, I will ensure you can't have him either.” Erin's jaw tensed. Her eyes turned bloodshot, and what made her angry was Robert told her that she needed to get married as soon as possible.
The board of directors was complaining about her since she was the daughter of the company's owner. Their company stocks turned down, making some investors scared to risk their money.
“Argh! If Leo is with me. I don't need to think about whoever the man they will choose for me.”
She lost everything. Erin lost her dream of being the top-paid model, and the worst was nobody wanted to ask her to be one of their models.
Her image was ruined permanently. The last brand that she tried to model was such a cheap one, and some legal wives' groups boycotted it. They protested it as if they hated her too much.
All she could blame was Blossom. For her, it was Blossom's fault that she lost everything.
“Ahhhh!!” Erin was too mad to do even more when she saw how the groups of women tried to make fun of her as a mistress.
Robert tried to clear her name, but his effort wasn't successful since nobody ever believed that because some people searched for proof that she was trying to break Blossom's marriage.
“What is happening here? How long will you do this? Erin, if you wanted to get Leo, you should do something instead of throwing many things here. Why don't you hire someone who can kill Blossom? Like how I did to Sophia's mother?” Amelia suggested.
