Chapter 113 ANN'S DESPERATION
626words
"I apologize for my rude behavior, I will be careful next time, we can stay normally under one roof without expecting anything from each other, right?" I apologize to her sincerely and then clearly tell her my thoughts. As she didn't know about the contract she would certainly keep some hopes from me and I don't want that at all.
After Mona will get pregnant, surely I am going to divorce her and free her from this legal bond between us.
She didn't respond and I urge her, "Tessy."
"You mean we can live as friends?" She asks in doubt and Ann's words come back to my mind.
"Friend? Uhmmm… Yeah, I guess." I reply after thinking for a minute.
"Great, then, I also apologize for my stupidity and next time I would be careful," She says and then stretches her hand for me to shake.
"So, you do agree that you act stupidly sometimes." I shake her hand and say teasingly.
"Ok then, I'll see you around," I say dismissively as I leave the terrace and back to my room.
See, it's not that hard, I can stay with Tessa on good terms and then happily end this relationship too.

"Good Morning," I am running in the backyard when a voice comes over nearly startling me.
I turn and see Tessa in sweats, I don't know what she is doing here, she is here for a run, maybe?
"Morning… You're here for a run?" She nods her head but her face looks tired and sleepy.
"Let's go, then…" I tell her and then begin to run, but just after a few moments I realize that she has stopped, she starts to pant and wasn't even able to complete the first lap.
I could tell that she isn't a morning person and neither in her life she has ever done the exercise although I don't think she needs exercise her figure looks too...
STOP
I snap at myself, Focus on your running.
Shaking my head, I finish my lap while Tessa sits on the bench tiredly.
"This is your first time running, huh.." I pick up my towel and start to clean the sweat on my face.
"Hmm.. yeah…" She replies embarrassed, there is nothing to be embarrassed we all have our first-time embarrassments.
"You should try walking first, and then we can start running slowly." I give her advice and she nods in response, Good Girl. I like her obedience.
I look around for my water, I am thirsty but I couldn't find my bottle and then finally I spot it beside Miss Tessa all empty.
F**k.
"My water?"
I was going to scold her when she squeeze out an apologetic smile and I remind myself that we are Friends now, so stop being an a**hole, Andrew.
"I guess, we need two bottles now," I say calmly and then walk back to my room.

"Good, I am beginning to like the morning activities." I nearly get choked on my tea when I hear Tessa's reply to Ann. I keep trying my best to not laugh. God, she is such a liar.
"Andrew, you must keep a proper eye on Tessa's morning exercise, she needs to be active and healthy." Ann looks at me with seriousness and I nod my head obediently.
I could see the worry in her eyes and the desperation of the child too, OH LORD, please make my Mona pregnant, soon.
"Don't worry, Ann. I will take good care of her."
I assure Ann before leaving for my office and I make a mental note that this week by hook or by crook I am going to take Mona to the hospital.
I can't let Ann suffer more.
