Revenge After Divorce by Black Rose

Chapter 172 OLIVIA The past two weeks passed with Ethan and Marcus doing background checks on the young woman we chose, to be our surrogate, Marcus liked the young woman and so did 1. But he had a feeling about her and didn't want us to go ahead without checking her out. When Ethan heard about that, he offered his services as well.

They had been at it for the past two weeks and would meet every evening to compare notes. If you ask me, they finished their investigation two days after they started and were just buying tsaying they were still busy. Marcus was starting to enjoy Ethan's company and were now starting to establish a real friendship.

I liked that, Marcus had no friends there, all his friends were back in London, he needed to have someone here to talk to other than me, as much as I wanted them to be friends, they were not going to do that at my expense. I walked to his study to talk to them about the issue at hand I could hear laughter even before I could knock. I decided to push the door and walk in, instead of giving them a warning by knocking. I pushed the door open, and they were sitting on the couch with drinks on hand. "Just as I thought," the laughter ceased, and they looked at me.

"Love, we were just taking a break, we will get back to it now." Men! Couldn't he tell that it was too late to lie? "Is that so?" I questioned as he walked back to his desk and took a seat. "Yes, love." I looked at him with my eyes narrowed giving him a chance to change his mind.

He sighed in defeat. "Fine, we are done." "And you have been done a long tago." "Yes, we have. In our defence, we liked these meetings so much that we didn't want them to stop but didn't have an excuse to continue with them." men! "Why do you need an excuse when you can just be friends?” they shared a look as if they didn't think of that.

It was none of my business. "Okay, now tell me, what have you found about that woman?" that was all I needed to know, their friendship and whatnot was theirs to deal with "Everything is as is on the forms. She has no parents as she said, her mother died and only has a distant aunt who took her in after the mother died. Nothing suspicious about her at all." Ethan reported, I looked at my husband and he looked as if he was thinking about something. "Are you still not convinced?" he sighed then stood and cto sit next to me. "It's not about being convinced my love. Her information checks out and everything. But, for sreason, something doesn't feel right. It's not about trust either." I didn't know what he meant then. "Its just...you know when your gut tells you not do something and when you don't listen bad things end up happening? Or if you wanted to go to the shops but something stops you from going then only to find out later that there was an accident on the road you would have taken, and it missed you by mere minutes? Something like that." I didn't know what that meant, it just confused my instead. 'Okay, I hear you. so, what do you suggest, do we interview more people until we get someone you will be comfortable with or we stop the process?" the ball was in his court, I didn't know what he wanted. Frankly, I felt like he just wanted to stall.

"Ethan, can you please give us a moment?" he stood and walked out. I turned fully to look at him. "Talk to me, is having this baby something you want? Because if it's not then that is not a problem. Samuel is still young we can revisit the topic when you are ready." He quickly shook his head taking my hands in his. "My love that is not the case, I want this baby more than anything. He will be a piece of me, of us and I want nothing more than to know he exists and is on his way to us." +25 BONUS Chapter 172 "Then tellwhat this is about because the explanation you gave is not very convincing." He sighed. "You know what, forget I said anything. We did the checks and found nothing. Let's go ahead no need for more interviews. I get over this." I felt bad for dismissing him like that.

"No babe, we can do the interviews and see if we can find someone you will be comfortable with." We were married now and had to think of each other's feelings. "No, my love, I am alright, I promise. I will keep an eye on her though when she is here, maybe with everything that happened with us, I want to keep my family safe.”

A smile broke on my lips. He was the most considerate man have ever kiss.

had. I gave him a kiss. "If you kisslike that again, I will call those people myself and tell them we are going ahead with Jennifer and ready to have that baby." I kissed him again and this tI deepened the kiss He groaned when I pulled out. “Fine, I will make the call but tonight, I want more than just a kiss.” I blushed getting up from the couch. "Tellwhat they say." He nodded and I walked out. I met Ethan in the lounge checking something on his phone.

He placed it next to him when I walked in. “Cand sit here." He ttg patted the space next to himm walked over and took a seat so that I was facing him. "I don't want you to take this the wrong way or as if I am butting in. I am going to say this out of concern for you and your family."

I wanted to roll my eyes, in my experience when someone starts by saying something like that, it meant they were going to butt in or when thall they start with "With all due respect. That meant hey were about to be disrespectful. You and your family have been through a lot. I played a part in that as well. But this time. I think it's wise to listen to your instincts. At least your husbands. If you go through with this using that woman, I think you will regret it later." +25 BONUS Chapter 173
