You Looked Down on Me Once Now You Look Up (Patricia and Oliver) novel Chapter 875

Mr. Padilla’s heart clenched at her words. He pulled her into his arms right away, murmuring softly to calm her.

“Sweetheart…”

He sat with her on the edge of the bed, but worried about her stomach, he shifted them both over to the armchair, letting her rest against his chest. He kept fussing, adjusting their position until she was comfortable.

“This is it. One and done, I promise. We’re not doing this again.”

“If the baby acts up, I’ll handle it. I’ll talk to it myself. I won’t let you go through this alone.”

Patricia just felt awful. She was so tired, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t get any real rest. Everything hurt, inside and out. The more Oliver tried to comfort her, the more overwhelmed she felt. Tears kept coming, and she clung to him, her arms tight around his neck as she cried so hard her whole body shook.

Her emotions must have been contagious because the baby started kicking up a storm. With her belly pressed right up against him, Oliver could actually feel the little one rolling and stretching inside her.

He couldn’t calm Patricia, and the baby wasn’t happy either. For a second, Mr. Padilla felt like his whole world was going to fall apart.

That night, Patricia drifted in and out of sleep. Through the haze, she heard Oliver’s low voice in the living room.

“Yes… Her mood isn’t great… Could you come stay for a few days? Or maybe let Chelsea have some time off to take her out, help her get her mind off things…”

The next morning, Chelsea showed up, arms full of bags… and a dog. It was a fluffy Samoyed, absolutely adorable.

Sara spotted the dog and basically froze. She just couldn’t resist anything soft and furry, so she scooped up the dog and started petting it like her life depended on it.

Patricia watched with curiosity. “When did you get a dog?”

“Not mine,” Chelsea said.

“Then whose is it?”

“A guy I’ve been seeing,” she replied, a little sheepish.

Patricia’s eyes sparkled with interest, her expression just as gossipy as Sara’s. “Oh, really? You’re already taking care of his dog? Sounds like things are getting serious.”
