Ouch, My CEO Fiance Fell For His Maid

110- Leigh

(21 years ago) Third Person pov: “Leigh! Come here.” The owner of the furniture shop

was a lady in her thirties, called Leigh.

“Hey, Sandy.” Leigh took off the scarf from the lower half of her face and wiped the

sweat from her smooth forehead with the back of her hand.

“Are you visiting the doctor?” she asked Leigh, pointing towards her belly,” Are you

taking your prenatal vitamins?”

Leigh rubbed her belly fondly. She was four months along and now her belly had

started protruding a little bit.

“Yeah, Sandy. Thanks to you.” She thanked her employer who had been helping her

with finances during this hard time.

“Oh, it’s nothing. I haven’t called you here for your thankyous. There is something

serious we need to discuss.”

Leigh frowned and took the other seat, wiping her hands with a cloth.

“You need to go,” Sandy announced without beating about the bush.

“What?” Leigh’s head snapped up.

“It’s not permanent, silly,” Sandy scolded her, “the paint fumes. They are harmful to

the baby. I can’t take risks.” “B…But Sandy. H…How I will…” “I understand, Leigh.

Don’t worry. I will still take care of the medical bills and your prenatal. But the hospital

admission for the baby’s delivery must be paid by you. I am trying to do whatever is

possible for me.” “I know, Sandy. And I am thankful. B…But there are other things to

take care of.” Oh my God! What would she do now? She could not afford to lose this

job.

“Listen, Leigh.” Sandy leaned forward propping her elbows on the desk,” Where is the

father? Ask him to take some responsibility.” ‘This pregnancy. It just happened… by

accident. He can’t afford it with his current job.” Now Leigh was rubbing her palms on

her lap in nervousness.

“I understand. But he can’t step back from this responsibility. As a soon-to- be mom,

you are also trying. Right? Why can’t he, as a soon-to-be dad?” after that Sandy went

quiet as if hesitating a bit.

“Leigh. Is the father still there in your life? I mean… I hope he hasn’t left you

“Oh… No,” Leigh shook her head giggling, “he hasn’t left me. He is there.

But stays out of the city due to his job nature.”

By now, Leigh had started fidgeting her fingers on her lap.

‘Talk to him, girl. Once this baby will be delivered, I will take you back with open arms.

But we can’t risk the baby’s health.”

Leigh tucked her upper lip between her teeth and stood up. She knew this moment

would come up, once the pregnancy would be known. But that was too soon. Sandy

was a caring employer, but she was not wrong when she said that the baby needed to

stay safe.

***

Eighteen years old Leigh Walters came back from her furniture painting job and

unlocked her dinky apartment. She was missing Ashton like anything.

Last time, she was so scared when she told him about her pregnancy. He was so

particular about precautions because he didn’t want a baby. He was struggling in his

life. He had no one except Leigh.

But the moment, Leigh told him that she was pregnant, his face broke into a big smile.

“Really. You have made me a happy man.” He hugged her and made slow love to her

that day. She was a beautiful woman and the first time Ashton saw her, he could not

keep it inside his pants. He was tall, smart, and funny. He knew how to spoil a girl

without spending money.

By making love to Leigh, cleaning her apartment, sharing simple meals with her, and

staring at her face like she was the most beautiful woman in his life.

He used to work outside the city as a car mechanic and didn’t have any proper place

to keep Leigh with him. He could not stay with her either as his bread and butter

depended on his mechanic job. He needed to concentrate on his work. He could not

find enough opportunities in her city, related to his field, so it was sensible to stay out
