Chapter 464 do not open
"Esme, my brother loves her but he obliges to our parents too much. If they have an adverse objection, I don't know what he will do. It's not just our parents that he has to fight against but the whole Westburry family."
"What about you and Liam?"
"I am over that unrequited love."
"That's good. Liam is a good man. But is too scarred by his old love to give himself to anyone. I don't want you to a rebound. Or someone he is unsure about. You deserved to be loved beautifully."
After his conversation with Esmeralda, she went to Ronan.
"You didn't give my best friend a hard time, did you?"
"She snitched on me."
"Shouldn't she?"
Ronan didn't look at her.
"What are you doing, Ronan?"
"That woman is with Ethan for money."
"So what?"
"What do you mean?" "He is my brother and she is a gold digger."
"Do you think your brother is that dumb? Even if she is with him for money then what? Tell him to sign a tight prenup. What can she do? Currently, she is making your brother happy. Didn't you always wanted someone to come into Ethan's life? Now that someone is making him happy, why aren't you happy?"
"Because she is not Katherine."
"Ronan, they broke up a long time ago for a reason. I know she was good to you. She took care of you when you were little, it didn't mean you will be obsessed with her till now. Someone can be extremely good to you and not good for others."
"Why are you here, Kierra?"
"You put some shit in your head and not do something stupid."
"Come on, Ronan. You are already doing something very silly by taking revenge on Esmeralda."
"What would you do if in the end she turned out to be a genuine girl? How will you ask for forgiveness?"
"What if she is not?"
"What if she is? Don't cross so many lines that in the end you will not even have anything to ask for forgiveness."
"I am not in a mood for a moral lecture."
"Well, you will have to listen because lately you have been acting wrong."
"How are you calling me wrong when I am protecting my family?"
"Do you know she informed about Liam's surgery to everyone but me?"
"But she doesn't even know you, Ronan."
"I don't care!"
She pulled him for a hug. "I know it's hard for you but please go easy on everyone. Please open your heart a little. It is not bad to trust people a little."
"When everyone you trust scar you heart, you will know how difficult it is for someone to trust people." He said, hugging her back. While the two of them were hugging each other, someone was watching them from the window of his bedroom.
"Are you sure that you can stand for that long?" Hazel asked Liam who had been staring out of the window for a long-time now.
"Hmm, "Liam reacted but didn't look at her back.
Hazel sighed lying on the couch in his bedroom . "Well, If I stand that long with my gigantic belly, my back will tire me out."
"Do you mind if I lie on your couch?" Hazel asked as she was already getting comfortable there.
"No, I don't."
"Thanks, Liam."
When he was standing for another few minutes, she added, "I think you should come to bed. You can't hear them talk from this far anyway. Unless you know the art of lip reading."
Now Liam gave her attention and sighed, going to his bed. "Actually, you are right."
"Can I ask why you are interested in your brother and his best friend's talks?"
"I am a sick man in bed. I need something interesting to keep here, don't you think so?"
Hazel chuckled. "Well said."
"Can I ask you something?" Hazel asked after a while.
"Hmm?"
"Can I set you up with one of my friends?" Hazel asked.
He raised his brow. "Hazel, I can't go to the bathroom alone. In this condition, how can I go out with someone?"
"I can wait, "Hazel said. "Just tell me if I can or cannot?"
"Do I know this friend?" Liam asked.
"That's the surprise."
"Well, you never mentioned surprise?"
"You know now, "She laughed.
"I don't think I am ready for dating anyone."
"You don't have to if you don't want to. It's just that you have to show up."
"Tell me, Hazel, am I a part of some sort of conspiracy?"
Hazel innocently blinked her eyes, "Are you?"
"You sound evil."
"I am evil."
"Fine."
"Are you agreeing?" She asked, shocked. "How come?"
"I am bored. I need some fun in my life. If being a part of your conspiracy will keep me engaged, I'm fine with it."
Hazel laughed evilly. "You will not be surprised."
"Can I ask you for another favor?" Hazel asked.
"I think you exhausted your limit."
"Just this once, Liam."
"Okay, fine." "What is it?"
"First answer one of my questions, "Hazel asked. "If there was an ideal woman who you wanted to enter Ethan's life, who would it be? Someone who you think is perfect for him."
"Easy. Esmeralda."
"Not, Katherine?"
"Not Katherine at all."
"If they had married, it would have been a marriage more toxic than Asher and Violet's."
"Why do you think Esmeralda is Ideal for him?"
"Because she is not perfect like Katherine."
"Excuse me?"
"Esmeralda is not perfect. That's what makes her more ideal than anyone else on this planet for Ethan. She is kind but her kindness has a limit. She has a mean spirit. She is no goody-two shoes. She can fight for herself. Most of all, she thinks about her while keeping in mind everyone around her. Look, she is just perfect for him."
"What does it mean?"
"It means Ethan doesn't need a saint for a wife. He needs an actual human being with imperfections who would accept him and love him. She is perfect!"
"I don't know what it means but it sounds good to me."
"What are you planning, Hazel?"
"This pregnancy has bored me, Ethan. I have three more months before this boredom will end."
"And?"
"I have a deal for you."
"For me?"
Hazel nodded and smiled, "You will be in bed for the next two weeks. So, why not for the next fourteen days we show Ethan and Esmeralda how perfect they are for each other and with each other."
"You gotta be kidding me. "
"Oh, I am certainly not."
"They are in a …."
"I know. Still, it doesn't stop me. If you want this too, all you have to do is support me. We will plan and plot together. What do you say?"
"You are completely nuts to think that I will join you in this ridiculous plan."
"I am nuts."
"You are right. You are."
Hazel smiled and put her hand together, "Partners?"
Liam shook her head. "You are an evil woman."
"Oh, trust me."
"Why are you doing this, Hazel?"
"I am bored."
"Tell me the real reason."
"There is–"
"If there isn't then I will not join you."
Hazel paused for a moment and then said, "My doctor told me at my 20th week meeting that if I continued with my pregnancy, I might lose my life. I had this rare complication that is not common among women."
"Oh god…"
"Issac convinced me for the termination but do you know what? If I terminate the pregnancy, there is still no chance that I will come back alive…"
"I am so sorry…"
"You can't do anything about it. Nobody can do anything. So, that's the reason. Even if I am gone, I want all the people that I know to find someone to take care of them."
"Does anyone know about it?"
"Nobody except the child's father."
"I am sorry, Hazel, you have to go through this."
Hazel just smiled through the teary eyes. "So, Liam, will you be my partner?"
"How many projects do we have to take?"
"Three, "Hazel told him.
"Alright. I am in."
"It is going to be so much fun, "Liam tell her.
"You bet!"
"But you have to promise me not to tell a soul about the things that we exchanged in this room."
"I promise."
"What are you two whispering?" Esmeralda asked as she entered inside with Amber.
"Oh, we are discussing about our body discomforts."
"Are you?"
"Hazel is saying how standing on feet for long kills her back."
"I keep asking her if she is having twins. Look at her stomach. It appears as if there are two babies."
"Hey, I just had an extra healthy baby."
"If you say so."
"Where did Kierra go?" Amber asked.
"I am here, "Kierra answered as she came with Ronan. "My mother is calling me home immediately."
"I can have someone drop you at your home,
"Liam immediately said.
"She can smell any Westburry from far, "Kierra said. "They don't know that I am here."
"I can drop you, "Ronan answered.
"As if you are not a Westburry."
"Can't change the womb I came from.
