CHAPTER 155
Alexa woke up to the sound of the roosters crowing outside her window. She stretched and yawned, feeling the weight of her baby bump as she got out of bed. She walked to the bathroom, splashed her face with water, and brushed her teeth. She took a moment to admire her growing belly and wondered what her baby would look like.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
After getting dressed, Alexa headed to the convenience store she managed. She unlocked the doors, turned on the lights, and started organizing the shelves. Her staff came in one by one, and they greeted her with smiles and hellos.
“Good morning, Lexie,” one of her staff members said.
“Good morning,” Alexa replied with a smile.
Alexa loved her job. She enjoyed interacting with customers, organizing products, and managing her staff. It was a fresh start for her, and she was grateful for the opportunity.
As the day went on, Alexa’s thoughts drifted to Nolan. She wondered how he was doing and if he ever thought about her. She missed him, but she knew she had to move on. She couldn’t risk her new life and her baby’s safety by reaching out to him.
However, Nolan was never far from her thoughts. She found herself thinking about him more and more as her due date approached. She wondered if he knew about the baby and if he would want to be a part of their lives.
Alexa sighed as she stepped into the small security office, the shelves lined with monitors and a small desk with a computer. She gave her friend Bobby a nudge, who was slumped over in his chair, and reminded him that she would be locking up the store soon.
As she turned to leave, she couldn’t help but notice the TV on the desk, blaring with a late-night show. She walked over and turned it down, muttering to herself about the electric bill. But as she did, she caught a glimpse of Nolan’s name on the screen.
Alexa stood frozen in the security office, staring at the television screen that displayed Nolan’s image. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing. Nolan, the man she had fallen in love with, was on national television, being interviewed by a famous talk show host. And he was talking about his recent appearance in a popular concert.
As she watched him speak, Alexa felt a pang of jealousy surge through her. She had been so happy living in the countryside and starting anew, but the thought of Nolan being in the spotlight, living his life without her, made her feel insecure and envious.
Her heart raced as she saw him sitting on the couch, smiling and relaxed as the host asked him about his recent appearance in a popular concert. She watched intently as he laughed and joked with the host, looking happy and carefree.
It had been months since Alexa had seen or heard from Nolan, and she had tried her best to move on with her life. But seeing him on the screen brought back a flood of memories and emotions that she had tried to bury.
As the interview continued, Alexa couldn’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy as she watched Nolan flirt with the female host. She tried to push the feeling aside, telling herself that she had no right to be jealous after everything that had happened between them.
