Chapter 91 Piece of Land
At Xavier mansion, Xavier was in the living room with his wife in his arms. He was touching her baby bump. Valencia was twenty weeks pregnant. He looked at his wife lovingly and asked, “How are you feeling, my love?”
Valencia smiled sweetly at him and replied, “I am much better, my mother gave me some medication and it is working. Xavier looked at her with questioning eyes.
He was told that his wife was not supposed to take medication since she was pregnant. Valencia smiled and replied, “Stop frowning, my mother’s doctor told her that the medication would not affect the baby.
You know how special this baby is to my mother, she will never hurt him.” Xavier nodded his head and said, “I am having a get-together with my friends tonight. Do you want me to ask your sister to come and stay with you?This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Valencia became upset and replied, “Xavier, I don’t understand why you are still having single friends whilst you are already married. What are you talking about when you are with them? Please grow up; you are going to be a father soon.
Stop behaving like a bachelor. In fact, I don’t like your bunch of friends. They are inferior to you in every aspect. I forbid you to be friends with them.”
Xavier laughed out loud and asked, “Have I ever forbidden you to have friends? Do you think, because you are my wife, you have to control me? If I remember correctly, your family forced this marriage down on my throat.
I wanted to marry when I was twenty-six years old, but your family trapped me with your mother’s sickness. I just want to go out with my friends to breathe. I asked you to abort the baby because you are sick. You refused because you have to control my life.
This is not the life I wanted. Everything is a mess. Tell me Miss Moore, when are we going to register our marriage? Are you going to give birth to my child when your last name is Moore?”
Valencia looked at her husband with shock in her eyes. She had never seen her husband lose control of his emotions before. Xavier was warm and calm.
Valencia looked at her husband and replied, “We didn’t hold you with a gun, and you were supposed to refuse if you didn’t want to marry me.
Didn’t you tell me that you wanted to get married when you were twenty-six years old? Therefore, we will register our marriage when you turn twenty-six. Why don’t you divorce me if you don’t love me, Xavier?”
Xavier laughed out loud and replied, “Do you hear yourself; how can we divorce since our marriage is not even registered? Tell me Valencia, is your mother really sick or is she faking it?”
Valencia looked at her husband coldly and replied, “Why don’t you take her to the hospital for a second opinion?”
Xavier took his phone and dialed a number, “Dr Smith, I would like to make an appointment to bring Mrs Moore for a second opinion tonight.”
Valencia couldn’t believe her ears when she heard her husband calling the oncologist and said, “Xavier, you don’t have a right to force my mother to go for a second opinion. I will never allow you to embarrass my mother.”
Xavier looked at her and said, “Should I find out that you have lied to me, I will bury the Moore family alive.” Valencia didn’t care because she would be dead when the truth came out.
She looked at her husband and said, “Hubby, please let’s stop fighting. Let’s cherish our time together. Even though my mother forced us to get married, you know that I love you so dearly.
I don’t mean to control you, but it doesn’t make sense for a married man to be friends with single men. Also, they don’t qualify to be your friends.”
Xavier felt that he went overboard and replied, “I would like to apologize as well for speaking to you so harshly.
However, I need a breather. You have to go out more. Since you are feeling much better, take your sister out for shopping. Don’t stay in the house every day.”
At 17:30 Xavier took his car keys, and then he walked to his wife and kissed her. Then he went to His Grace hotel to meet his friends.
Once a month, Xavier would meet with his friends, Chase Forbes, Hunter Wood, Xander Barrett and Ross Bradley at His Grace hotel. He would push everything aside to have dinner with them.
When they arrived at the hotel, Chase Forbes was already there waiting for them in their private room. He smiled brightly and hugged them. Xavier smiled brightly and asked, “How are you doing, Dr Forbes?”
Chase smiled and replied, “I am doing well, President Taylor. How is your beautiful wife?” Xavier stopped smiling and replied, “My mother-in-law gave her some medicine and she is much better.”
Chase smiled and replied, “I am glad to hear that, Xavier.” Chase loved Xavier as his brother, and they were very close. He was over the moon when he heard that Valencia was pregnant.
However, when he heard that Valencia was in an advanced stage of stomach cancer, he felt that there was more than meets the eye.
At that moment, the waiter approached them with the menu. Chase looked at Xavier smiling and said, “Xavier, please order for us because you are the youngest.”
Xavier laughed out loud and replied, “I am married, and I have a child on the way. Therefore, I am your senior.”
Xander nodded his head and replied, “That’s true, Xavier. Chase, when are you going to introduce your girlfriend to us?” Xander was the President of the Barrett Group.
Chase smiled brightly and replied, “I am two months younger than Hunter. So, I am waiting for him to introduce his girlfriend to us.” Hunter shook his head and replied, “I am not ready to settle down yet.
Didn’t we promise each other that we would marry when we were twenty-six years old?” Hunter was the President of the Wood Group.
Ross replied, “Xavier has broken that promise, he got married when he was twenty-one. Hunter, please we want to meet our sister-in-law.”
Hunter stopped smiling and said, “My grandfather wanted to go to the Martins Group to arrange a marriage between me and CEO Martins’ daughter.
I told him that I was waiting for her to grow up. Then I would propose to her, but it was a lie. He was over the moon when he heard that.”
Ross looked at him and asked, “Did you fall in love with the Martins’ daughter?” Hunter shook his head, “Even though she is gorgeous, she is too young for me.
When I meet the love of my life, I will introduce her to you. On that day, please don’t come empty handed, bring gifts.” They nodded their heads.
Xavier wanted to introduce Valencia to his friends, but she refused. She felt they looked down at her when she was chasing Xavier.
Xavier and his friends talked about the economy of the country and the projects that they were busy with.
Xavier told them about the piece of land that he wanted to buy and said, “It is in the heart of Umhlanga, and I want to build a cinema on that piece of land.”
Chase smiled and asked, “Do you want to snatch that piece of land from your father-in-law? I heard that Mr Moore is eyeing that piece of land. He wants to build a shopping centre.”
Xavier wasn’t aware of that, but it didn’t stop him from acquiring it. They left the hotel at 10 pm.
