The Ex-Wife’s Billion Dollar Comeback Novel

---- Chapter 128: The Unknown Person ~ Soraya ~ "How do you feel about Calum getting married to Rose?" Jacob asked after Angela fell asleep between them. Soraya was hugging Angela. She yawned and said, "They are perfect for each other. Let them marry." She yawned again and changed the topic, "What a day. It was fun, huh?" "So you don't care?" Jacob asked. Soraya frowned. "Why would | care? | do care about Amanda and Cedric's feelings, but Calum had long disregarded their opinions.

Let them marry." Jacob nodded and revealed, "Because apparently Rose is pregnant, so they are getting married." Soraya stilled, thinking about it. "| guess I've always known, they were intimate. They even slept in our bedroom." "Okay. Well, | told you so you wouldn't be surprised," Jacob said "Calum treats Rose like a queen. He gives her everything. I'm not surprised that he would marry her. Maybe, she really is the one for him," Soraya said.

"I just hope Rose will treat Sage well, and Calum won't neglect her." "If it comes to a point that Sage would realize she would rather be with you, | just want you to know that I'd welcome her too," Jacob said. "You... wouldn't mind even if Sage is not your real daughter?" Soraya asked. Achuckle left Jacob's lips. "She's your daughter, so | would ---- accept her being part of who you are." Hearing Jacob, she stared at him. If that were a possibility-if Sage would agree, she would take that risk. But maybe it wasn't the right time, not when she and Jacob were still unmarried. Maybe... one day.

Maybe, when Sage would see her as a better mother than Rose, or... a better person as a whole. eee The next day, they went to Azure Coast to do some shopping. They bought souvenirs and some local delicacies. Soraya found a shop that had beautiful hair accessories. She bought headbands for Angela and some hairpins. When they headed out, they spotted an ice cream truck parked right outside, and many children had lined up to buy a scoop. Angela pointed to the truck and said, "Mommy, | want ice cream, please!" Jacob was in another shop with Veronica, Philip, and Emily.

They were buying local treats. So, Soraya and Angela ate by the ice cream truck alone. The vendor had stools on the side of the truck where some other kids with their parents indulged in the treat. "It's so yummy, Mommy! It's so yummy!" Angela exclaimed. The other parents and the children giggled at Angela's reaction. One woman said, "This is the best ice cream in town, little girl." Soraya had a taste of her ice cream, and she couldn't deny how the ingredients seemed fresh. She bought a pistachio ice cream and she could taste pieces of the nut in it.

The best part was that it wasn't too sweet. "It is delicious," Soraya remarked, smiling at the woman, then ---- at the vendor who gave her a thumbs up. "Mommy, buy some for Daddy, Grandma, Grandpa, and Grandma!" Angela said. A laugh escaped Soraya's lips. She said, "Okay. Okay. We will buy some for them when they get here." "Yay!" Angela exclaimed. Soon, Jacob and the others exited the shop, now with shopping bags in their hands. When they joined them, they also had a scoop. Everybody loved the ice cream.

In fact, Soraya and Jacob went for a second round But as they were about to leave, Jacob turned his head around, frowning. Soraya followed his gaze, asking, "What is it?" "| could have sworn someone was looking at us. You know when you have that feeling?" Jacob said, and Soraya nodded. Soraya also looked around, but found no one. She said, "It's probably nothing." "Yeah, but we'd better go," Jacob said. "The boat should be waiting for us." ee ~ Unknown POV ~ Unknown to the couple, someone was in fact watching. This person had earlier walked past Jacob's group, eating ice cream.

When familiarity kicked in, this person hid behind an alley and just looked at Jacob and the little girl. This person was with someone, and this friend asked, "Isn't that Angela?" "Yes, it would seem so," the person said. ---- The friend made a face and asked, "But | thought you said Angela was a retard and a mute!" "| don't know. Something must have changed. I'm going to find out more." eee ~ Calum ~ Meanwhile, back in Cedar Heights, Calum accompanied Rose to an ultrasound clinic. When he told his parents that Rose was pregnant, Amanda insisted on seeing the ultrasound report.

The clinic they went to was not within a hospital. Rose said it was recommended by Claire's mother, Calum's aunt, Camilla. When they arrived at the clinic, Claire was already waiting for them. "| wanted to see the baby for myself," Claire said, smiling. Claire went in with them to the ultrasound room. It was Calum's first time watching an ultrasound. He never went with Soraya when she was pregnant with Sage. So, this new experience with Rose was meaningful to him. Mounted on the wall, the monitor displayed the images from the doctor's transvaginal ultrasound.

"This is exciting, isn't it, Calum?" Claire asked. "You are going to be a father soon, and to a woman you love." Claire asked, and Calum hummed in response. Rose extended her hand to him, and he took it. "There it is," the doctor said, smiling. "Mr. Montclair, your girlfriend is six weeks pregnant, and we already have a heartbeat." The doctor adjusted something and soon, Calum heard the ---- baby's heartbeat. "It's still early in pregnancy, but in the later stages, you will be able to see the baby's features develop." "Thank you, doctor," Calum said, smiling.

After the scan, Claire brought up Soraya outside the clinic. She said, "Calum, Rose, and | were thinking. We should go find Soraya and apologize to her about, you know, the Graysons." "You won't find her now," Calum said. Then he realized he had just admitted to looking for Soraya. So he said, "I overheard the secretaries say Soraya made a social media account. They mentioned she was on vacation." "Oh," Rose said. "Then, we will apologize to her when she gets back." Rose had insisted Claire could take her back to the boutique.

So, Calum left with the printed copy of the ultrasound so he could show it to his parents. He drove to the Montclair estate and found his parents having tea on the patio of their home. He presented them with the ultrasound scan and said, "There's your proof. Rose is pregnant, so we're getting married." Amanda stared at the scan for seconds. After that, she asked, "Calum, you got married the last time because Soraya got pregnant. Are you sure you want to do this again?" "Rose is different," Calum said. "She is the woman | choose to be with. Soraya was the one you chose for me.

I'm marrying Rose." "Can you at least consider a prenup?" Cedric asked, making Calum frown. "No, | won't," Calum replied. "That would be an insult to Rose and her family." ---- Amanda sighed and said, "Do as you wish, Calum. You are old enough to make your decisions."
