Chapter 45: DOESN’T HAVE A FATHER
Dove waited for her grandfather to say something, while looking at him. She wanted to show him that she was very serious about this decision and had made up her mind. But before Senior Sterling could even say anything, it was Noah who burst out. "Dove! What’s the meaning of this?!"
And at this sudden outburst, they all turned their attention to Noah, who stood there glaring at Dove with her hands turned into fist. Dove frowned looking at Noah, since he wouldn’t normally create any chaos or even speak something no matter what good or bad happens to her. Just like how she had said that she had slept with someone. He had just sarcastically congratulated her on that. What is he up to? She wondered with a frown.
Even Freya, who wasn’t pleased to listen Dove break that news, as she was worried about their status and the unpleasant news that would be spread now in the society, and how she could face her friends. She also looked at Noah with a frown, wondering why her son was jumping into it.
Noah walked up to Dove as he took the pregnancy report from her hand and said, "Is this why you had gone to the hospital? This big thing happened and you did not even bother telling me yesterday when I asked you?" Dove who had a calm expression on her face. She said with the same indifference, "And why? Why should I have told you? When I am telling my grandfather only now, why would I have told you that earlier? Do you think you are so important to me? Since when did you assume that I would come to you running with my issues?"
Noah gritted her teeth, as he looked at Dove, not be able to tell her a word about it. "Dove! We are not talking about that, alright! But you. can’t. have. this. Child!" he raised his voice at her.
But Dove who suddenly felt defensive mode when he yelled that to her and he yelled back, "And why can’t I?!" At this the other servants and Freya and Senior Sterling were also a bit shocked. After all, Dove had always been a cold headed girl. It wasn’t that she wouldn’t get angry. She would! But she always kept her voice down and demeanor composed. And she would retaliate coldly. But this is the first time that she was distraught.
"Because you are just eighteen! You are still very young to have a kid!" Noah yelled back.
"It’s my kid! And I get to choose if I will keep it or not!" Dove yelled back. "I am my own person! I maintain my own affairs! I make my own money! I can definitely raise my kid on my own too!" Dove said with gritting teeth!
"But the kid doesn’t have a father!" Noah said with his teeth seething! And the next second, a sharp sound was heard. PAAK!
"Dove!" Freya exclaimed in disbelief looking at her slapping her son.
Dove had thrown a slap across Noah’s face, and said, "He has a father!" She said, though deep down she knew that what he said was true. But still the new emotions building inside her did not allow her to listen to such things regarding her child. So, she just pulled up with the story she had created last day.
"I have already cleared, that man isn’t in the position to show up, I am not allowing anyone to degrade my kid like this. My child has a father! You understand!" Noah held the cheek that was slapped by her and he looked at her. He did not say anything else but just stared at her fuming face.
He had never see her so aggravated like this.
Dove did not bother with him any more, and turned towards her grandfather and walked up to him. "Grandpa! I am keeping this child. Please say something."
Senior Simon Sterling stared at Dove for a moment more, before he said, "So you have made up your mind?" And he saw her nod her head. And then he said again, "And you say that the child’s father isn’t in the position to marry you right now?" And Dove again nodded her head slowly, and slightly lowered her head.
"You want to go abroad during your pregnancy and complete your studies there before coming back?" He repeated what she said earlier. And Dove nodded, "Yes grandfather."
Senior Sterling then stood up and nodded, "If that is so, then alright, Dove. I give you the freedom for that." And when Dove heard that, her face brightened with a sigh of relief left her mouth.
"But," Senior Sterling was not done speaking and he added. "You have to prove your self, and do that all by yourself in that country."
Dove waited for the grandfather to say. And he had the condition that, he will be sending her abroad in a country, where there company had its production sites, and operated the foreign business. She would have to take charge of those companies, after she goes from here. She would be spending four years there, while completing her university degree, and would be taking care of her pregnancy with it.
After four years, she would have to come back to the country, and take over the main business too. Hearing all this, a deep frown appeared on Lisa’s face, as she looked at Senior Sterling in disbelief. "Has this old man gone completely crazy? That’s his own granddaughter! It’s pregnancy, for God’s sake! How will she be doing that?" she murmured.
Dove heard it all, and nodded with a subtle smile. In contrary to Lisa’s thoughts, Dove was relieved to hear that. Because she understood Senior Sterling. And knew that this is the best arrangement for now. By his tone, she could tell her grandfather was not happy with her keeping the pregnancy. But with this, he is giving her time, freedom from the society’s judgements here that know her, and also giving her a certain financial independence and power by talking over the company abroad. If she had nothing, people would taunt her and speak of her. But if she had power, people would speak of her, but keep their tones down. And no matter what they say, they would be demanded to show respect. And Dove would prefer the second.
With this, he also wants her to prove that she was ready to take this challenges. Dove understood it well.
