The Secret Heir Son-In-Law

05. The Bet Javier Made

"Oh you're home?" Blaire just realized that Javier was standing in front of his room, Javier immediately entered the room and approached Blaire.

"Mom, I have to go. See you later!" Blaire quickly hung up the phone and Javier sat down next to Blaire. Javier took his wife's hand and held it tightly, he smiled and kissed her cheek briefly.

"When did you arrive? Why didn't you call me?" His expression looked worried, Blaire was probably afraid that Javier would be hurt by what his mother had said.

"I heard you on the phone with your mom earlier, Blaire," Javier said.

"Ah you don't have to listen to mom! I'm sorry I couldn't get her to stop saying bad things about you." Blaire looked guilty, even though it was her mom's fault.

"No, honey. It's not your fault. Your mom is right, but I'm not going to let you go or divorce you." Javier smiled as he gently stroked Blaire's cheek, Blaire smiled too, they both loved each other so much but the Watsons always tried to keep them apart.

"And about your pregnancy..."

"I'm sorry, Jav. I didn't tell you earlier, I was going to tell you this morning but you left in a hurry!" Blaire tried to explain, he was afraid Javier would be angry that he didn't tell him sooner. However, since Javier already knew, he just nodded his head.

"It's okay, I knew from the beginning, Blaire. I know you so well that I know the changes in your body," Javier said and Blaire looked surprised that Javier already knew.

"I'll take care of you and our child, so everything will be fine." Touched and moved, Blaire hugged her husband tightly. They hugged for a long time, until Javier remembered what he was planning to do.

"And Blaire, I listened to what your mom said. She said that she would make someone CEO if she could get an offer from Ford Group, right?" Javier asked and Blaire released his embrace and nodded his head.

"Right, it's a huge contract so she really wants it. But it looks like no one will be able to get the contract..."

"You can, Blaire." Blaire was surprised by what Javier said.

"Me? No, no way, Jav!" Blaire denied.

"I'll secretly help you get the offer and you can be the CEO of your family's company!" Javier said again but Blaire thought it was a bad idea. Especially since he was the one who had to do it.

"That's impossible, Javier. I can't do it." Javier held both of Blaire's shoulders and looked at his wife intently.

"Yes, you can, Blaire. You're the most wonderful and intelligent woman I've ever met, I'll tell you how to get the offer." Javier would pretend to know nothing in front of the Watsons, while in private he coached Blaire on how to bid.

"You'll have to trust me, because I've already got the job at Ford Group."

"Really, Jav? You got a job there?" Javier nodded his head, Blaire looked happy but he was also still skeptical about his husband's plans.

"I have access to the company's inside information, so you don't have to worry." Javier tried to convince Blaire, Blaire was still hesitant at first, but finally decided to trust his husband.

"So now I have to bid with my family's company?" Javier said yes, they made the offer secretly without the Watsons knowing.

In the middle of the night, when his wife was asleep. Javier went outside the room and called someone.

"Hello, sir? Are you going to give me any other instructions?" Adam, the person he called to tell him.

"I know that Ford Group is making a big contract, is that right?" Javier asked for confirmation.

"It's true, sir. We did that."

"Great, my wife is making the offer under the Watsons' surname. I want you to accept the offer under Blaire's name only."

"Yes, sir. I understand." After saying that, the phone hung up and Javier's plan was set in motion.

The next morning, as usual, Blaire made breakfast and Javier was just waking up. He got out of bed when he heard the ringing of the phone which he knew belonged to Blaire. As Javier walked into the kitchen, he saw Blaire staring at his phone with a worried expression.

"Who called you?" Javier asked, making Blaire turn to him.

"It's mom, she must have found out about my offer," Blaire replied worriedly, knowing that her mom would be furious.

"Just pick up the phone, I'll help you talk to her." Blaire finally got up the courage and picked up her mom's phone.

"Hello..."

"Blaire! What are you doing? Do you want to ruin our family?" Anne shouted angrily a few seconds after Blaire picked up the phone.

"Are you crazy? You already embarrassed us by marrying that poor guy and now this? What's wrong with you, Blaire?" her mother yelled again.

"You're so stupid!" Blaire was about to reply but Javier grabbed his wife's cell phone.

"Mom, it was my idea," Javier replied and of course Anne got even angrier when she found out.

"So you were the one who intended to ruin us? You told Blaire to make an offer to get our company, didn't you?" Anne accused.

"No, I just believed that Blaire could get it."

"No! I'm already planning to split you up and the contract will go to Blaire's new husband! So quickly withdraw the offer or I'll make you suffer," Anne threatened him.

"What should we do? You know, he never lies about what he says." Blaire started to worry too, but Javier just smiled and patted Blaire's hair gently.

"You don't have to worry," Javier whispered to him.

"I'm not going to withdraw the offer, mom. I know that you don't trust us, but I'll bet."

"Bet what? Don't be crazy, Javier!" Javier thought as he looked at his wife.

"If this family wins the bid, you have to make Blaire the CEO and never talk about our divorce again..."

"You're very confident, huh?" Anne thinks Javier's bet is ridiculous and is confident that he will win.

"And if you don't win the bid, you have to leave Blaire." Javier was silent for a while, Blaire shook his head, not agreeing but Javier had to take the risk.

"Fine, I'll leave Blaire if I don't win the bid." Anne laughed, she was satisfied with the bet Javier had made.

"Alright I agree!" Javier was finally relieved even though he knew that Blaire was very sad to hear it. Javier hugged Blaire after hanging up the phone.

"I'm not going to leave you, Blaire. So don't worry!" Blaire could only trust his husband.
