The pregnant bride went stiff as a board when she spotted the groom’s dad. She never saw that coming…

Why buy one car when you can try a little bit of everything? By the way, that Ferrari has a month’s worth of reservations. That’s how Betty puckered his lutz. I still think it’s cheating.

There was silence between them again. Betty stepped awkwardly from foot to foot. Ethan of EP left the hair on the back of his neck.

It must be hard to run a business and still find time to create. It’s hard to find people you can trust. If you have them, you can delegate some of the tasks to them.

For our hotel chain, we managed to find such people. I just have to find them in my personal life. Ethan looked at Betty.

You’re in the wrong place. The girl grinned. You know my priorities, but you’re being honest about it.

Instead of playing the saintly simplicity of falling in love at first sight. Usually, mercantile goals are hidden behind a fake interest in my personality. Ethan stepped closer and took Betty’s hand.

Will you be my girlfriend? He asked. I don’t know. This is so awkward right now and wrong.

After everything I’ve said to you, let’s forget about everything and start from the point where we just like each other. Betty cried. The guy pulled her in and started soothing her, stroking her back.

It looks like I changed my mind for money. Finding out your true origins, calm down, stepped Betty’s nose. Ethan laughed.

I don’t care. The important thing is that we’re together now. He hugged the girl tighter and pulled her against him as if afraid she’d run away.

Max tried to call Adriana many times, but quickly realized that his number was simply blocked. She didn’t answer calls from other people’s numbers either. The hostel told him that she was gone until September.

They didn’t know where she’d gone. Most likely home. The young man was already desperate and thought that he would have to wait until the beginning of the school year to see the girl.

But then at one of the banquets, he met his friend Ethan in the company of Olanin and his girlfriend Betty. Max rushed to the girl and grabbed her hands. Do I need you? Ethan pushed his friend away from Betty.

I’m very close to you, sure, but I’m not going to let you hit on my girlfriend. You misunderstand. I need her help.

I need to get in touch with Adriana. She’s not answering calls or texts. She’s away for the summer.

Betty shook her head. I’m sorry, Max, but I can’t help you there. You really don’t know where she is.

Ethan asked her and looked the girl straight in the eye. But she was embarrassed. Maybe I don’t know, but she’s a friend of mine.

She’s having some problems that she doesn’t want to tell others about. I respect her desire to be alone. Max looked pleadingly at the girl.

Betty, please. This is very important to me. If she has a problem, I can help with that.

But I don’t know. Ethan realized that the girl was getting weak and was about to give up. Vic, you saw how good things were with Adriana.

She was so happy with Max. It must be something serious, since she left everything so suddenly. It’s really serious, but it’s definitely not something I can tell them, Betty thought.

But when she saw Max’s eyes like a murdered puppy, she gave up. Max traveled to Adriana’s hometown in his car. It took him four o’clock to get there.

He checked into the hotel, took up his suitcase number, and went straight to the address Betty had given him. He didn’t understand why the girl had decided to break up with him so suddenly and wanted to talk to her in person. If she wanted to break up with him, then let her repeat it looking him in the eyes.

She may be in some kind of trouble or problem. The family needs a street and a house. Max was able to find it with the navigator, but Betty didn’t know the apartment, and he wouldn’t dare show up at her place like that.

There’s no telling how her parents would react. So the guy parked near the house and waited. The good thing is that there were only three entrances and the courtyard was quiet and not crowded.

He waited until late afternoon, but Adriana never showed up. Max was about to return to the hotel when he saw a girl coming out of the first entrance. Adriana ironed the linens.

Despite her mother’s protests, she took up the task of helping out around the house, which distracted her from her longing for Max and her anxious thoughts about the future. Adriana. Mother came into the room.

We’re out of bread. I can’t get my dad to buy some on the way. So runs away and good for us.

The girl turned off the iron. She did not change her clothes, only took the bags and purse. The girl hadn’t gotten far from the entryway when she heard a familiar voice.

Her name was Adriana. The girl flinched and turned around. How did you find me? Betty gave me the address.

Guilty. Max looked at her. But please don’t scold her.

I talked her into it for a very, very long time. I promised her it would only be a one time thing. And if you don’t want to go out with me, I’ll leave and I won’t bother you anymore.

Adriana shifted from foot to foot. She was embarrassed by the whole situation and her appearance. She on the other hand, popped up to the bakery.

What was she wearing? Home shorts, old lady in a t shirt and slippers. Why don’t we sit somewhere? Max suggested realizing it wasn’t a good idea to have a relationship in the middle of the yard. The grandmothers sitting on the bench at the entrance started to look at them curiously.

So the guy confidently took the girl by the hand and led her to the car. Adriana did not resist. So much was stunned by his unexpected appearance.

I actually need to buy bread, said Adriana. When the guy sat her in the passenger seat and buckled her seatbelt. So we’ll go to a place that sells bread.

Max fiddled with the navigator and drove the girl to the nearest bakery. There he sat her at the farthest table and went to the counter. Five minutes later, he returned with a tray with a plate of cakes and two cups of coffee.

The guy sat down opposite Adriana, who was still frantically clutching the bag and purse. I’ll try the brownie. I took the cherry one on purpose.

The guy sat down opposite and moved the plate to the girl. He himself took a coffee and took a big sip. There was an awkward silence between the young people.

Finally, Max pulled himself together. I still can’t understand why you left me, he began. We just don’t fit together.

Adriana replied. Looking down at her lap. I suddenly realized that we are from different worlds.

We have different lifestyles. My family is quite simple. I don’t think it matters.

If we love each other, Max said, I won’t treat you worse just because your family isn’t as well off. I’m willing to do whatever you want to do to save our relationship. Please give me a chance.

He did and made her hands his. Adriana raised her head and looked straight into the guy’s pleading eyes. The girl felt her heart beat harder.

She realized that she still loved Max. But her mistake had come between them. He shouldn’t be sitting here making promises to her at all.

She should be the one apologizing. There’s something I have to tell you. After this, you will hardly want to be together with me.

The girl looked down again. Don’t you dare look at Max. I don’t think there’s anything in this world that can make me break up with you.

The girl’s heart rolled with unbearable excitement like crazy. Anyway, I’m pregnant. Adriana was afraid to look at Max, so she sat hiding her face in her palms.

Are you or are you seeing someone else? Or is it your ex-boyfriend’s baby? No, it’s an accident. I don’t even know. The girl felt her face begin to burn with shame.

I don’t know who the father is. It just happened. You don’t.

Adriana didn’t let him finish. No, it was all voluntary, but it was after the party. I was drunk.

The girl didn’t feel like she was lying. And it was true. She just wouldn’t give Max all the details.

So shameful they were me. I don’t even know what to say right now. The girl found the strength to raise her head and look at Max.

She expected to see disgust, but there was a look of sympathy on his face. But even that was unbearable. So Adriana turned away and looked out the window.

See, now you definitely don’t want anything to do with a girl like me. Max remained silent, looking at Adriana. He was trying to gather his thoughts.

He hadn’t expected this. Adriana. Look, he began cautiously.

I won’t judge you and my feelings for you won’t be affected. The girl looked at him. She didn’t notice the tears running down her cheeks.

You’re going through a very difficult time right now. And I want to help you. Max continued.

I will be there for you if you want to keep this baby. I can say that I am his father. Adriana looked at him in surprise, not knowing how to react to the guy’s words.

Why would you want to do that? I can’t force you to take that kind of responsibility. It would be unfair and wrong. Adriana, you’re not forcing me.

I chose to help you and be there for you. Maybe things haven’t turned out the way I imagined, but that doesn’t mean we can’t be happy together. I just can’t imagine my life without you.

He took her hand and kissed the palm. The girl burst into tears, feeling a mixture of happiness and relief. Max sat down beside her and hugged Adriana tightly so that she could cry.

When the girl calmed down, the guy pulled away and looked at her very seriously. Marry me. That you don’t want the baby to be born, do you? So if we tell everyone that it’s my baby, no one will even have questions.

Why did we suddenly decide to get married? Adriana looked Max in the eye. Are you really ready to do this? She asked, feeling her heart start to beat harder. Max nodded without looking away.

I can’t change the way things used to be, Adriana, but I can be there for you and the baby. Let’s try it together. I promise I’ll love and care for you both.

Okay, let’s try. She agreed and smiled weakly. Max enclosed her in a tight hug again.

I’m so glad we can be together again. They bought not only bread, but also a small cake. Max insisted on meeting Adriana’s parents today.

The girl, to be honest, was frightened by the speed of events. Your parents know about the child only, Mom. We were afraid to tell Dad right away.

And well, if anything, I’ll take all the fire on myself, soothed her Max. Let’s hurry up. I went to the bakery.

I didn’t even pick up my cell phone and disappeared. My mom must be freaking out by now. Having gone up to the second floor, the young people did not dare to call for a long time and stopped in front of the door.

It was the first experience for both of them. Max had never had to meet his girlfriend’s parents before, and Adriana had never met anyone before. And given her delicate situation, you said Mom’s worried worried, but I’m still kind of scared.

Let me make the call. The guy gathered his courage and pressed the button of the faithful bell. A muffled trill sounded from the depths of the apartment.

The door swung open almost immediately. A worried mother opened it. Adriana, where are you? The woman did not finish and froze when she saw an unfamiliar young man next to her daughter.

I’d like you to meet him. This is Max, my boyfriend. Max, this is my mom, Kathy.

Nice to meet you. The guy held out a box of cake. Why are we talking across the threshold? Come on in.

The woman stepped back. Max’s father came out of the living room when he heard a noise in the hallway. This is my dad, William.

Dad, this is my boyfriend. We’re dating. We’ve never heard of any boyfriends before.

My dad arched his eyebrows at me. Adriana, and I just had a little disagreement, and now it’s resolved. Max took the girl’s hand.

I came here today to make up with her, and so we decided that we should meet you. My father let Max come through. You can stay for dinner, but you’ll have to spend the night somewhere else.

What are you talking about? His wife snapped at him. The man came from out of town. Are you going to throw him out on the street so we can’t find a place to put him? Don’t worry, Kathy.

I’m staying at a hotel. That’s where I’m staying. The young man reassured her.

Well, here’s a waste of more. When Max went to the bathroom to wash his hands, his mother took Adriana into the room and interrogated her. This is the one.

Yes, awkwardly. Adriana replied. You said there would be a baby across the hall, but that’s what I thought.

And it turns out he agrees and even wants to raise it together. What a joy. The mother splashed her hands.

You’re imagining things again, as they usually say about such people, and all you had to do was talk to your young man. Everything is solved. All that’s left is to tell your father.

Tell your father. Tell him. That’s the hardest part…
