Chapter 106

It had been another week since last Friday, Dolly came by with her offer to take care of my pups for me while I was at work. I shouldn't lie, I am grateful that she offered. Now I can really start saving up money not having to worry about daycare fees. She was a life saver.

For a Friday the place was quiet, very unusual for Eddy's but I was glad none the less. I could use a breather before somebody walks in.

I was by a booth that had a window seat. I knew that I must have had that faraway look on my expression. But I couldn't help it, there was nothing else I could do but occupy myself with my thoughts while I waited for a customer to walk in through the door.

I breath in deeply and release the air out in one deep breath out. I might be in a tangle and I have been avoiding it. Since last I went to that clinic, my week has been in knots.

"We don't have a problem treating you without you paying Miss Bella" the son of Doctor Gregory had said. I can't say it knocked the wind out of my lungs but it did surprise me. Who on earth would want to help a little woman for free?

Apparently these ones did, he even went on to tell me that it was Dr. Gregory senior who insisted. I liked the older doctor. He seemed friendly and nice. I could easily look at him as a father figure since he was being warm with me.

It wasn't like I was anywhere near refusing their offer, I was even grateful that I got offered such an offer. I was alone in this new and foreign place, I could use all the help I could get.

But what really disturbed me was what happened after the checkup. On the other side of the was a man that had no business standing out our door. This man, he looked like the two Gregory's I met. How many were they? A lot it seemed.

"Hie, Bella is it" he says to me with his extended hand meant to shack with mine. How did he know my name? was he told by his father?

He sees the confusion on my face and drops his hand. "I am sorry but my name is Jeremiah Gregory son to the owner of this clinic and I have been sent to take you home." He smiles.

I take a good look at the man calling himself Jeremiah, he didn't look any more older than me but he was certainly advanced in age compared to me. I did notice that the Gregory men were attractive looking but this one was made to spite attraction itself. You could tell that this man turned heads wherever he went. And not just the female heads.

This man standing here with all his attention towards me looked like he just came out of a magazine cover. Seriously, who was this beautiful.

He looked down at the carrier I was carrying then, of course Dolly had offered to look after my babies the previous day but this was not work and I kind of liked carrying them around with me.

My gaze follows his to see a very curious Raven looking up at the man in front of us. He smiles at her dazzling his flashy perfect teeth. No, I wasn't supposed to be thinking of another man when I have barely been divorced. And to tell the truth, I secretly want Aiden to come find me and tell me that it was all a huge misunderstanding. I still loved him after all.

"Nice little looking pups you got there" he said. I do remember him saying such a thing. At the time I might not have realized it but something did make me remember hours after he had dropped us.

What did he mean pups? This has been disturbing me for some time now. Maybe I was just overthinking the situation? I sigh heavily. Only way to find out is to wait for him to say it again and then interrogate him.

He wanted to get my cell in case he needed it he said, then proceeds to call every single day just to check on me. Today he had called ask if dinner sounded nice but I softly declined claiming I didn't have anyone to look after the babies. He offered to take the babies too but I did not find that wise.

"Then I can just bring in take out to your apartment. We could have an indoor picnic you and your pretty babies." He said in an accent that wasn't from these parts.

I finally agreed, but I wasn't really sure what he wanted, I couldn't hurt to have him over this once would it? I'm sure whatever intentions he had I was going to set him straight.

Just then the door open to reveal a customer, back to work it is I say to myself getting while I pulled out a notebook and pen from my apron. Plastering on a smile I head towards where the customer choses to sit.

The day was through and I was glad it was. Now came the most exciting part of my day. Seeing my pups.

I was just outside Dolly's door about to knock when she busts open the door. She has a big smile on and says "Welcome back dear, do come in" she ushers me in and sits me on her sofa. Immediately my pups come crawling to me.

Dolly chuckles softly "Such darlings. Did you know that they can sense you?" she says suddenly. What did she mean they can sense me.

She goes to her kitchen and brings over two cups of tea and settles down. She hands me a cup and sips her own.

"What does that mean?" I ask when she doesn't clarify.
