“It is not unfortunate” Maximus contradicted, then added fondly “the child is truly fortunate to have Serena as its mother. She showers him with love even when he’s still inside her womb.”

At the end of my seventh month of pregnancy, Maximus hired a nurse to stay at my residence, he said that it’ll be convenient.

He’s right! As soon as my water bag broke, the nurse was quick on the uptake and called an ambulance in record time. My first experience with childbirth went smoothly because of her.

As soon as I held him in my arms, I felt a surge of pride. I named him Frederick.

A son as a first born. Surely, Cain would appreciate it.

But Cain didn’t come even when I called and told him about our son, he never showed up.

Later, I would discover that he preferred to grace Shelly’s extravagant birthday celebration where he attended as her primary escort.

Should I gatecrash and confront them?
