Chapter 50
"Yes I came to finish my work, I had a lot to do before tomorrow." Dawn replied staring at her empty desk and Matteo noticed it. Was she okay?
"Are you ill?" Matteo asked as Stephan sharply stared at Dawn, since there last discussion he had kept to himself. The question bothered him a lot but mostly his work also affected the distance. He watched her staring at her table, why was she acting weird.
"Call Eric to take her home." Stephan told Matteo as he took his seat.
"Am fine, just stressed out."
"Leave us," Stephan told Matteo as Matteo nodded and left the love birds alone.
He didn't want to intervene in their discussion and it seemed like it was going to be a serious one.
"Come here," Stephan said after Matteo left. He leaned into the couch and tapped his lap. He watched Dawn walk slowly to him with shaky legs and hand, she walked up to him and took a seat on his lap slowly. "What is the matter?"
Sarah called Matteo and they decided to meet up for lunch at a restaurant close by, she got to the restaurant before Travis and decided to order something for both of them. When she was done talking to the waiter and explaining in details what she wanted, she saw Alberto approaching her seat.
The last time they met was a long time ago and she hoped he had grown out of love for her, maybe at that time she was trying to make hI'm jealous but right now she cared about Matteo and she loved him.
He was everything and more to her, that she questioned herself a lot of times why she didn't accept him a long time ago.
He seemed like a dickhead to the outside world but to her, he was a gentleman unlike Alberto who had played with her heart and made a fool of her.
"My love," Alberto smiled. He had dropped by to get some snacks when he saw Sarah sitting afar, he decided to greet her and hopefully get her attention. He still cared about her a lot.
He took the seat next to her and sat down, it seemed she was expecting someone. Was it Matteo?
He got an eye roll from her when he sat down.
"What do you want?" Sarah asked him picking her phone that was ringing.
"Hello," she said not minding Alberto's presence. She nodded her head a couple of times and sighed deeply then disconnected the call.
"You can't avoid me forever." Alberto informed her after she was done with the call.
"Am not avoiding you," Sarah replied. What was there to avoid? There was no feelings attached anymore so she didn't need to bother about his presence but she had a date with Matteo the last thing she needed was this nonsense. "Babe," she heard Matteo call out to her, she hadn't noticed when he stepped into the restaurant. He placed a kiss on her lips and for a moment she felt he was jealous or maybe angry because there kiss lasted longer than normal. When there lips parted, she smiled at him as his fingers touched her lips slowly.
"Hope I am not late," Matteo had stepped into the restaurant and saw Alberto with Sarah, he wondered what Alberto was up. Not only did the idiot not help his case but also tried all his best to get Matteo locked up. Matteo had totally forgotten about him and hopefully Alberto wouldn't provoke him further by being closer to Sarah.
"No you are not,"
Matteo didn't bother with Alberto as his guard motioned Alberto to get up from the seat.
Matteo didn't stare at him once but he knew Alberto was staring at him. Alberto stood up and left as Matteo took his seat.
"So you can get jealous," Sarah smiled as the waiter entered with their food. She served the both of them and pour their wine into their wine glass.
Matteo wasn't jealous when it came to Alberto, maybe some other man but definitely not Alberto at all.
He knew Sarah didn't have any feelings for Alberto and would never develop feelings for him.
He didn't answer but remained silent, he was pleased she had already ordered on his behalf. "Does Stephan not want to have kids?"

"Kids?" Matteo repeated taking the spoon on the table to try out to soup.
"Dawn is pregnant," Sarah blurted out. She knew she should have waited for Dawn to give her permission to tell Matteo but this case involved the baby. Matteo nearly choked on his soup, he felt Sarah handkerchief on his lips as she wiped his lips clean of the soup that drooled from his near death experience. "Stephan doesn't want the baby, how do we help her?" Sarah continued.
First of how was Dawn pregnant? and who was this we that wanted to die.
Matteo stared at Sarah then continued with his soup, hopefully he wouldn't choke this time.
"How is she pregnant? I thought she was on some shots or something."
"She missed a day but the point is..."
"Why did she miss a day?"
"I don't know the whole point is that...."
"When is she getting rid of it?"
"What?"
Sarah couldn't believe her ears, did Matteo just say that, she had thought that she would be able to get him to convince Stephan to change his mind but he was also the same thing as Stephan.
She had to make sure she was always taking her shots and pills the last thing she needed was Matteo telling her to remove her baby, if she ever gets pregnant.
What if they were married would they still not want kids? She didn't understand it.
"What nonsense are you saying?" She wasn't Dawn to keep quiet about issues like this. This was about a child.

Matteo knew that tone, Sarah was getting pissed off. He remembered Dawn was acting weird earlier was that what it was all about. Stephan didn't do well with kids, Dawn should have been aware of this and not go about missing a day of her shot.
He couldn't help them, the least he could do was talk but he knew Stephan would not listen to him.
It was all up to Dawn, he didn't do too well with kids as well. Hopefully Sarah wasn't pregnant.
"Relax babe," Matteo pleaded, he dropped his spoon and touched her hand on the table. "We both know how Stephan can be."
"So you don't want to have kids?"
"I don't know," Matteo answered honestly. He wasn't ready for it right now. Maybe later in the future he did consider it.
Sarah removed her hand slowly from the grasps and placed it on her lap.
If he didn't also want kids then maybe she made a mistake about their relationship. Why hadn't she thought about this earlier? This was a very important issue and they never talked about it. It didn't even cross her mind to ask Matteo what he felt about it.
Did he even love her?
"I am just stressed out, I think adjusting to the new work environment is starting to weigh in on me," Dawn responded to his question looking at him straight in the eyes with a faint smile.
It seemed when she lied she found her eyes wandering into thin air, she decided it was best to look him in the eyes not to arouse any form of suspicion on his part. Dawn couldn't still believe that she was pregnant, of course she wanted to keep the baby but how was she going to put it to Stephan not after their last conversation where he seemed furious about having children.
She didn't understand how a wealthy man like him would be furious about something like that, or wasn't it like in the movies where wealthy men like him looked forward to having a son to take over their empire or was that it? Was he scared of having female children?
Not like he ever grew up with a sister to be able to tell what having a sister would be like, even Dawn wasn't looking forward to having a girl child. Growing up with Olivia was enough headache for her, she wondered how Olivia was even doing now that it seemed they were both pregnant.
"You can work from home if it is..."
"Really? I can work from home?" Dawn cut in not allowing him finish what he was saying. This was a good idea especially with the fact that she was now pregnant plus her work didn't require much just reviewing his work and making corrections.
Stephanalready had a secretary and if worst came to worst the only time her attention would be needed was if a meeting was held, which only happened once in a while as most meetings only involved Stephan and Matteo. "Yes, you can. The last thing I want is for you to feel stressed out especially when this is your first time."
"I will think about it," Dawn replied not trying to sound too suspicious as she had seemed pleased to be working.
