Husband With Benefits
Chapter 444: Shock

Chapter 444: Shock

For the first time in his life, Ian realized that he has been shocked into silence. He had no words. "A father?" he repeated, his voice barely a whisper, as if trying to convince himself he’d heard correctly this time. Thankfully, he was sitting or he would have made a fool of himself again.

"Sebastian Frost, tell me where you are at this moment! And what did you inhale?"

"I am at home, Ian. And before you come there, I mean my holiday home."

"Fine. Which is the nearest mental hospital? Is it the new place you bought that you were telling me about? Send me the location. Wait, did you hit your head or something?"

Finally, Seb could not help but chuckle. He should have expected Ian to not believe him. " Ian Frost. I am going to be a father. I am not high and have not been in an accident. I am also not pulling a prank on you. And if you doubt me one more time... I will let Lucien be the Godfather!"

That got a quick reaction from Ian," Ha! You want the little kid to suffer with Lucy as the Godfather? Of course I am going be the kiddo’s godfather." And then Ian paused before carefully asking," Seb... how did this happen?"

"Really, Ian? Would you like me to give you the birds and the bees talk? At this age?"

"Sh*t up, you bast*rd! You know what I meant. I did not even know you were seeing someone!"

"I wasn’t. It was a one night stand."

Seb winced as Ian swore again. "A one-night stand? Seriously, Seb? You’re going to be a dad because of a one-night stand? Do you need the talk?"

"It was just once... and I got carried away.. We...uh ran out of condoms..."

"That is TMI, Seb. And I don’t need to tell you there are other ways.... Its also about protecting yourself, Seb." Ian said quietly.

Seb sighed. Of course there were other ways. And he’d never had unsafe se* with anyone other than Olivia. Then and this time.

Ian sighed at Seb’s silence. What was done could not be undone. Maybe it was a good thing that Olivia had gone away before Seb announced this. It would have hurt her endlessly. As for Seb, maybe he would be able to handle himself better if he had a child to focus on.

"Congratulations, Seb! I’m happy for you. The lady in question..." Ian meant to ask if the mother of the child would be kept in the equation. Usually, the women Seb slept with were models or gold diggers eager to throw themselves at his feet for some rewards. They would need to careful if such a person was going to be the child’s mother.

"Yes. She is going to be in the picture. I think she would make a good mother." Seb added seriously. Of course he had no doubt about this. He’d once hoped to have a family with her. She’d be the most amazing and patien mother.

He could hear the relief in Ian’s voice as he said," That is a good thing. Then, maybe we should plan something for the weekend for her to meet the family. I’m sure everyone would want to know her."

"Not yet, Ian. Maybe something next month. We are enjoying our honeymoon now." Seb refused.

Ian on the other hand was shocked once again. Something was fishy. Things were too calm and Seb was not being straight. He had a feeling that this was somehow related to Olviia leaving? Had Seb done something extreme?

Carfefully, he probed, "Honeymoon activities are what got you into this, Seb. Maybe you could refrain for a while."

"I married her, Ian." Seb dropped another bombshell casually.

Ian looked down, wondering if his jaw had indeed fallen to the floor! Something was definitely wrong with this bas&ard! "You... you what?" he spluttered, "You married her?" Ian repeated, his voice tinged with disbelief. "Seb, are you serious?"

"Yes, Ian! I am very serious. I got married this afternoon. I couldn’t let our child be born out of wedlock."

"But you had time... What was the hurry, Seb? Be straight with me, Seb! This has something to do with Olivia leavind, doesn’t it? You’ve gone crazy because she left again. But Marriage is extreme. You only ever loved her and now that she is gone, you are angry, aren’t you? But this is not how you can punish her. This is punishing yourself, Seb! I don’t know what to say to you, Seb."

"A congratulations and well wishes would be enough for now, Ian." Seb answered quietly, not willing to talk about what Ian had said about Olivia.

"Fine. Congratulations, Seb. I hope you do not do yourself or the girl you married any injustice."

"I won’t, Ian." Seb promised him.

Once again, there was silence between them until finally Ian spoke up," its a good thing Olivia has gone to have a new beginning. And doesn’t know all this... Maybe by the time she knows of your marriage..."

"She knows, Ian." Seb cut in, readying to drop the final bombshell.

This time, the silence was dangerous as Ian asked carefully," What do you mean she knows? Don’t tell me that you did something petty and tried to rub her nose in your happiness?"

"Do you think I am so petty, Ian?"

"When it comes to her, you’re not rational, so I don’t know Seb. You tell me. How does Olivia know that you are married."

Seb tapped his hands on the balustrade as he looked at the darkness beyond the balcony, before he answered," Of course Olivia had to know. I couldn’t very well have her sign the marriage certificate without knowing, could I? She had to know that she was marrying me..."

Seb wondered if Ian had finally lost his words and smirked. Using the shock to his advantage, he said," Now that you know, I hope you will hold the fort while I enjoy my time with my new wife. I’ll see you all after the honeymoon...Bye Ian."

As he disconnected the call, he could hear Ian shouting more curse words into the phone...
