His Beautiful Addiction-Chapter 296 - Gwen Returns

It was just one month; they still had a lot of time to try. Besides, this was the first time she was trying for a baby maybe that was the reason.

Tiana consoled herself; she didn't like feeling this way, Nicklaus didn't know that she was so worried about it.

''Your sister is coming back today, right? '' Grandma asked as they stepped out of the room.

''Yeah, she just completed her course; she'll be staying with us for a while till after the wedding. ''

''Oh, that's great. I wanted to leave now, but it seems I'll have to wait a while to see her. ''

Tiana chuckled; ''you don't have to worry yourself, Grandma, we'll come see you together when she comes back. ''

''No, no, there's no problem; grandma waved her hand as she sat down on a sofa; ''since I'm here already, I as well wait. Tell the chef to get me a plate of fruits. ''

Tiana nodded and left the parlor.

…

Gwen stood in front of the gigantic gates, her hand holding her luggage as her eyes stared at the beautiful sight in front of her, a sweet smile on her lips. There was no-one by the gate but she could see the guards walking around. She could remember the last time she came here; she didn't even get to look around the environment then because she was in a panic.

So this was the place Tiana lived?

She lived like a queen. Gwen thought. She imagined the maids doing all the work in the house while she would just have to eat and sleep and gaze at the beautiful face of her husband.

Gwen bit her tongue as she thought of Nicklaus as her husband. She had been a little too slow, if not; she would have realized that even a worker in this place lived like a princess. Maybe that was why Tiana agreed to go in her stead.

But that was going to change soon. She was back to take everything that belonged to her, even to the last drop of sweat. Slowly but steadily everything would become hers again.

The door to the living room pulled open and Gwen carried her luggage in;

''Gwen! '' Tiana exclaimed when she saw her sister and she stood up and embraced her in a hug. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

''I've missed you! '' Gwen cried as they hugged for a while.

''Well, 'm not surprised by your beauty, after seeing Tiana, I wasn't expecting anything less. ''

Gwen turned to the source of the sound and when she saw Grandma she smiled;

''She's Nicklaus' grandmother; '' Tiana introduced and Gwen beamed as she embraced her in a warm hug.

''It's nice to meet you, grandma, wow; you're so young! '' Gwen knew that elderly women liked when they were called young, if she wanted to be a replacement for Tiana, she needed to be in the good graces of his grandmother.

''Aw, thank you, dear. '' Grandma smiled as she touched her cheeks, with all the issues recently, she must have gotten 10 years older, it was warm hearing that she still looked young.

''Come, come sit, and tell me about yourself. ''As she had anticipated, grandma already liked her. Tiana smiled as she watched the duo talk, she told a guard to take Gwen's bag into the room she already prepared for her.

Tiana was relieved a little that Gwen was here to talk to Grandma; at least she had saved her of the stress of listening to her rant about what and what not to eat to keep the 'baby' safe. Another reason why Tiana wanted to have the baby soon was because of Grandma. She wanted her to be happy.

She was very ecstatic now, if she didn't get pregnant after a while, she would start to get worried.

''Tiana, bring her over to spend some time with me, okay? I love her already. ''

Gwen chuckled as they saw Grandma off. ''I would love to. Have a safe trip! ''

She waved at her.

''So sister, you look exceptionally beautiful, tell me, is there any good news you would like to share? ''

Gwen grinned as she turned to Tiana after grandma had left. Although nothing would change if she was pregnant, it was safer if she wasn't.

Tiana furrowed her brows as she turned back to the house;

''I don't know what you're talking about; '' she said even though she knew what Gwen was hinting at.

''Tiana, just tell me! I want to know if I'm having a baby niece anytime soon! '' She followed Tiana anxiously, and Tiana rolled her eyes.

''I'm not pregnant yet. '' she knew her sister would not leave her until she heard what she wants to hear, and besides she was her sister so she didn't have anything to hide.

''Oh, okay. You guys don't want any baby bump during the wedding? Okay, I get it. '' Gwen laughed and Tiana smiled faintly as she opened the door to Gwen's room.

''Well, we've been trying, but it's been a month or so, I'm just worried, you know, I was expecting to get pregnant immediately. ''

Gwen laughed; ''you don't have to worry about anything, it's just a month, maybe you've been overthinking lately, that's why. Don't you know a baby can't strive in a stressed environment? When a mother is stressed, the womb would be a little too hot and can kill the sperm cells, so relax your nerves and you would see the magic. I'm not a doctor, but this is what I think. '' Tiana laughed at her sister's theory.

''I sure would take your prescription. '' They laughed and then Gwen looked around her room. It was beautifully furnished; she stood open and walked to her closet.

''Wow! '' she exclaimed when she saw the closet was filled with clothes and shoes.

''I selected them specially since you were coming, but not to worry, you can get new ones if you don't like them, bills on me. ''

Gwen smiled and embraced Tiana in a hug,

''what do I do without you? You are the best sister in the world! '' ƒ𝑟𝐞𝗲𝘄𝙚𝚋𝑛ｏ𝙫𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝘰𝓂

Tiana laughed; ''stop teasing me! ''

She smiled as she watched Gwen start to unpack.

''I got your favorite cookies. '' Gwen took out a box of cookies and gave it to her.

''Aw, thank you, you sure know how much I love these! ''

Gwen smiled and turned to her bag;

''Where is Nicklaus? ''
