Chapter 310 - New Year's Eve

Days passed and Jerlina and Jeremy stayed on the bed most times. Well, not just the bed, but pretty much anywhere and everywhere in the house; even in the basement sitting on the washing machine as it was running.

Well, to say it made her vibrant would be an understatement.

Jeremy knew ways she thought that wouldn't be possible. Since it was the holidays, they were in leisure. Although Jeremy had to go out for some hours in the day to help the elders in the village, they had plenty of time for themselves.

And so, they tried it all. She never thought that being leisurely and relaxed would make her enjoy s*x this much.

As much as a quickie is enthralling if done right, this slow, relaxed atmosphere brought out another type of exhilaration she was unfamiliar with. After all, in her twenty seven years of life, this is the first time she is feeling this relaxed and loved.

"Wine?" Jeremy asked pointing at the glass she was staring at.

It is New Year's eve already and they have a long night ahead of them as they have to stay awake and give New year wishes to their friends and family.

Jerlina who is used to the hurry burry of the city life and thinks midnight is early to go to bed, has used to Jeremy's sleep cycle and goes to bed at nine or ten in the night. So she knew it would be hard for her to stay awake for New Year.

Since this is the day Mikhail's bar is launching, he asked them to join the party virtually. Jeremy agreed to join because Jerlina needs to get introduced to their friends.

"No," Jerlina shook her head. "I feel pregnant," she rubbed her belly leaning on the chair. "It is better for me to skip the alcohol."

She observed Jeremy's face for his reaction as he went silent. He placed the bottle on the table and took in a deep breath.

"You know what, Jeryl… My heart skipped a beat when you said pregnant… It made me happy…" he said placing his hand on his chest.

"It would be good…" he said rubbing his chest. "A baby…. this makes me happy, very happy…" he got up and kissed her forehead.

"But it is not for sure…" Jerlina didn't want him to get disappointed in case she doesn't get pregnant immediately. He looked a little too eager.

"That's fine…No pressure," he massaged her shoulders.

With a smile, Jerlina leaned on the back of the chair. She is glad both of them are on the same page regarding this issue.

"I want a girl!" he smiled. "I want to hold our baby girl soon…"

"So why don't you work more, husband?" Jerlina opened her eyes and looked up.

"With pleasure," Jeremy carried her and walked up the stairs to the bedroom.

While Jerlina and Jeremy were discovering each other on the bed, Emma and Gerard left the office of a? fertility doctor who would treat celebrities and politicians who want to keep their treatments a secret from the public.

Emma has successfully convinced Gerard to get a baby by IVF. The doctor too said that they can try it since Gerard has enough potent sperms for that. There were a lot of preparations to get into the treatment and Emma was a bit scared thinking of everything.

But it is for a billion dollars!

She is not a fool. She actually saw the will and checked the bank account. What Gerard told her is real! How can she give up on it?

The will stated the mother who carried the baby to term will own guardianship to the billion until the child reaches adulthood. So basically, she has to get pregnant and give birth to a baby – Gerard's baby, to have ownership of the billion.

Her figure might get ruined, but that is fine. She can get it back with all the money she is getting.

Heh! Once I get the money, I can divorce Gerard, and can keep the money entirely for me!

Yeah, and the baby too, unfortunately.

Well, whatever! My mother would raise the baby well. I can pay her a couple of millions from my billion.

With all her dreams, Emma signed all the agreement forms she had to sign.

Billion…billion… My billion.

That's what she was thinking.

In the evening, Jerlina and Jeremy sat in front of the laptop. Jeremy laughed at Jerlina for making lighting arrangements for a random video meeting. She also set the glassware and centerpieces in the view of the camera.

But he admired her for doing everything perfectly. She has a keen sense for promotion.

He looked at their screen. Their ordinary middle-class home looked like the drawing room of a mansion with little adjustments of the furniture and careful lighting.

A wise woman… he thought. She could make gold out of straws.

Man! I am lucky!

The people from the town already wished them well in the evening. Since they were all old people they didn't want to wake up for the night. They talked with Patrick and her other employees too.

Jerlina was having a non-alcoholic wine and he was having a glass of whiskey. Their house had a good collection of glassware and he was having the best glass. She too.

Since there was time for midnight, they called Bobby first using the phone. Through the video, they saw a neat setting in the backyard of Jeremy's house near the shed where everyone had gathered to welcome the new year.

There were loud cheers and groups of men were singing on the stage set at the corner. Scarlett looked amazing in her red dress. She was wearing makeup and heels after a very long time. And the way she looked at Bobby made Jerlina's heart warm.

She should be thankful that Bobby escaped from the jaws of death. A lot happened this year but in the end, we are all happy. And that is the most important thing.

Jeremy was on the phone joking around with his people while Jerlina was introduced by Mikhail with his acquaintances. Rose was looking pretty in a silver sequined dress. Together with Mikhail, they looked like a? perfect pair.

The bar looked like a success with well-dressed men and women filled to the brim. It was not like the loud bars with eye-blinding lights but it looked like a fusion of old Hollywood glamour and the Palace of Versailles. Jerlina liked the vibe of the bar.

At one glance, it looked like an upscale bar.

And getting introduced, she got a couple of orders just by the centerpieces she had in her background. Some ordered dinner sets and other stuff. Jerlina was happy and she noted them all.

"I think Erling spread around that you are the hidden heir of the Hamilton family," Mikhail said. "I just got the feeling that many would try to brownnose their way to get connected with the Erling family from now on," he added.
