Xavier was humiliated when he found out that Renee had discovered him. He started cursing irritably, “Sh*t! How the f*ck did you find out?! I tried to be as covert as humanly possible—I even held my breath!’
Renee folded her arms and looked Xavier up and down then gave him a look that suggested he was a complete moron before explaining “It’s broad daylight and you’re wearing all black. You’ve also been following me too closely not to mention how you chose such a stupid and obvious hiding place and you ask me how I found out?”
Xavier realized that Renee’s analysis was flawlessly logical so he scratched his nose in embarrassment and grumbled “Didn’t they say pregnant women are absent-minded? Your mind seems pretty sharp to me! You reacted pretty quickly.”
It was then Renee’s turn to panic.
“Who’s pregnant?” she hastily asked acting dumb. “Was it you? Ha! I didn’t know you were that crazy!”
Xavier rolled his eyes. In normal circumstances he would have exploded in rage but he reminded himself of the reason why he followed Renee and considered the fact that Renee was pregnant so he kept his temper under control.
“Stop pretending” he told her. “I’ve been following you since you came to the hospital and went into the obstetrics department. I know you’re pregnant…’
“You!”
Renee did not know what else to say. Her breathing quickened and she started to get anxious. Now that Xavier had found out she was pregnant he might inform his best friend Stefan and then it would
all be an ugly mess!
“Don’t worry” Xavier assured her in a firm voice. “I’m no tattletale. I won’t tell Stefan about your pregnancy.”
This took Renee by surprise. As far as she knew Xavier was obviously prone to prattling. How did he turn into such a reasonable person all of a sudden? Something very fishy must be going on here!
“After all” Xavier continued “Stefan just got a divorce from you not too long ago and you’ve already gone on and got pregnant with that Osborne dude’s child. This will be a huge blow to my friend’s ego and I don’t want to see him suffer like that.”
This concern of his was borne out of the series of events that happened after Stefan got his heart broken many years ago. Back then after Cecilia dumped him not only did Stefan torment himself he even dragged his best friend Xavier along to suffer with him.
And now that Stefan had fallen for his ex-wife Renee Xavier could not imagine what would happen if Stefan found out she was pregnant with another man’s child so quickly after their divorce! It would surely be catastrophic! That was precisely why he did not need Renee to ask him not to reveal this- because Xavier himself would take this secret to his grave!
“I see!” Renee could not help but smile. It was clear what Xavier thought of her. Immediately after finding out that she was pregnant he took it for granted that the babies in her belly were another man’s not Stefan’s.
But that was fine with her since she could rest easy now. She wondered what Stefan would do when he learned the truth about their children one day. Would he thank this best friend of his for keeping the secret?
She cleared her throat and said “I wanted to keep my pregnancy with Liam Osborne’s child a secret all along because I’m planning to leave this place with my baby and Liam in tow and live elsewhere. After all I was Stefan Hunt’s wife for four years. If I start building a perfect family with a house full of children while he is still single and lonely then it would really hurt his feelings wouldn’t it?”
“Damn right it would!” yelled Xavier. He then sternly warned Renee “If you’re smart you’d do well not to reveal your pregnancy before my friend finds a new woman! Otherwise I’ll never leave you in peace!”
Renee stifled a smile and maintained a serious expression on her face as she nodded and assured Xavier “Don’t worry I won’t let anyone know about it. Boasting is not my habit anyway.”
She started to realize that although this idiot tended to have a potty mouth he was actually quite an earnest guy and a loyal friend which Renee found adorable. Still… Why was this guy following her around like a weirdo?
“Tell me the truth” she began to ask bluntly. “Why did you follow me like that? If you don’t give me a reason I’ll make sure to start a habit of boasting around your friend Stefan!
