Chapter 973 – Beginning with a Daring Encounter

“I missed you more,” Harry said as he sat down across from her and they both picked up the menu when a waiter approached them to take their orders.

Once they had sorted that out, they smiled at each other once they were alone again.

“How did you day go?” Harry asked, and listened as Jade told him all she had done and her meeting with Rebekah.

“I’m psyched about tomorrow. Can’t wait t see that bitch in cuffs,” Jade said, and Harry nodded in agreement as the waiter came to serve their drinks.

“What about you? How did your day go?” She asked after the waiter left, and he shrugged.

“It was hectic and I spent most of it missing you,” Harry said, not going into details since he didn’t want to be the one to tell her about Benne and Kimberly.

“Really? What did you miss most?” Jade asked excitedly and Harry grinned.

“Getting on your nerves,” he said making her giggle.

“By the way what were you saying about my mom earlier?” Jade asked curiously and then looked behind her when she noticed that Harry was looking behind her with amused eyes.

She almost gasped in surprise when she saw Sara walking to a table with Crystal.

Bryan, who was lying on the bed beside Sonia who was seated, watched her as she worked on her laptop and flashed her a smile when she caught him staring at her.

“You’re supposed to be rehearsing your lines not watching me,” she reminded him.

“You’re more interesting than the lines, fiancée,” Bryan said, and Sonia giggled.

“When do you think your body is going to start changing to accommodate our munchkin?” Bryan asked curiously and Sonia raised a brow.

“Why? So you can make sure you’re not here to see me grow fat and ugly?” She asked, and he grinned.

“I don’t think you could ever be fat and ugly,” Bryan said as he moved closer to her so he could place his hand on her flat abdomen.

“I’m looking forward to seeing the changes. I read that your boobs grow fuller when you’re pregnant and…”

“Really? I never knew you preferred large boobs. So my boobs are too small for you?” Sonia cut in with a raised brow.

“I can’t wait to see your belly grow rounder too. I suppose I prefer bigger abdomens. Your abdomen is too flat for me,” Bryan said dryly, and Sonia eyed him.

“Are you trying to avoid my question by playing smart?” She asked, and Bryan nodded.

“Yes, I am. You seem to be in the mood to pick a fight with me when all I want to do is assure you that you’d always be the most beautiful woman in the world in my eyes,” Bryan said as he set aside her laptop, and Sonia shook her head in amusement.

“You’re distracting me,” she complained even though she was enjoying the attention.

“Yes. I want us to take a break from work. We have been busy for hours. Why don’t we give our baby a name?” Bryan asked as he kissed her belly.

“Isn’t it too early for that? We don’t even know the gender yet,” Sonia pointed out.

“Not the real name. Let’s pick a gender neutral pet name we can call our baby,” Bryan suggested again, and Sonia shrugged.

“Alright. Do you have any in mind?” She asked curiously.

“What about Bryson?” Bryan asked with a grin and Sonia laughed softly.

“That is a masculine name,” she said with a shake of her head.

“But we don’t mean it like the masculine name itself. It’s just a mix of both our names since the baby is a product of both our genes,” Bryan countered.

“Okay. What about Ryso? I took out the first and last letter of Bryson,” Sonia said, and Bryan thought about if for a moment before giving her a nod.

“I think that will do. So, you will be called, Ryso,” Bryan said to Sonia’s abdomen as he kissed it again making Sonia giggle.

Bryan sat up when his phone started ringing and he picked it up when he saw it was a call from Matt.

“Hey! What’s up?” He asked once the call connected.

“I was wondering if I could come over and spend the night? And maybe we can spend some time together playing games seeing as you would be getting married soon,” Matt said, and Bryan narrowed his eyes suspiciously.

“Is everything alright?”

“Sure. I just need a change of environment for tonight,” Matt said, and Bryan sighed.

“Alright. I will give Benne a call and get back to you,” Bryan said and hung up.

“What did he say?” Sonia asked curiously.

“He wants to come over to spend the night here,” Bryan explained and Sonia raised a brow.

“Why? Do you think maybe he’s aware that Candace is coming over to spend the night hence the sudden request?” Sonia asked, and Bryan grinned.

“She is spending the night here?”
