Cold Showers — Chapter 72

"Thank you so much, ma'am, God, bless you." Magda cried even more. Magda's three older children who had tears in their eyes also thanked Jayda.

"It's okay. I hope you can now start a new life with your family." Jayda said. The money was more than enough for them. It would pay off her late husband's debt and help with the necessary bills she had to pay.

After giving Magda one final hug, She and her four children made their way out of the courtroom, leaving only Seb and Jayda in the room.

Sebastian had a proud smile on his face as he approached Jayda. He saw and heard her conversation with Magda.

"You almost made me forget all I was saying" Jayda playfully rolled her eyes, referring to the time she sighted him when she was giving her speech.

He chuckled, "I didn't mean to."

"And how did you get in here? Shouldn't you be in the office making some money for me and our kids." She teased.

Sebastian shrugged, "I came to support the love of my life and I don't regret showing up. I came pretty early, you just didn't see me on time."

"This is my first time in the courtroom and I enjoyed watching you. You were amazing my love. I think I will start coming to watch you whenever I'm chanced to."

Jayda blushed. "Thanks."

He took her hands in his and looked into her eyes sincerely. "And what you did for that woman was amazing. You have a heart of gold, Jayda. You are everything and even so much more that I would ever want in a woman."

Jayda smiled, "I try my best to help people whenever I'm opportuned to and thanks for coming to watch me do my thing"

Seb smiled proudly. He placed a kiss on her forehead.

"Are you free for the rest of the day or you have to return to work?" Jayda asked. It was just past 2 pm.

"It depends. What do you have in mind?" Seb asked.

"I couldn't fit into the pants I planned to wear this morning because I woke up to this." Jayda unbuttoned her blazer and showed Seb her cute little bump. She was almost eleven weeks along. Her so-called flat belly wasn't flat anymore. A tiny little bulge was now visible. Jayda had always been into slim-fitted clothes so her pants had no extra space for that sudden bulge. Thankfully, her blazer did a great job of hiding her belly.

"Wow!!!!" Sebastian said with a priceless smile on his face. He couldn't help himself so he went ahead and caressed the bump over Jayda's dress.

"I know." She chuckled. "Now will you please accompany me to the mall?" She pouted.

"Sure, anything for you, Wifey"

Jayda blushed. "So can I have my card back?" She asked shyly.

Sebastian obeyed. He reached for his wallet in his pocket, brought out the card and handed it to her.

Jayda accepted it and kept it in her purse. She reached for her handbag, Sebastian assisted her in carrying her fancy briefcase which had some files in them and they walked out of the courtroom with their hands intertwined.

"So it's only you today. You didn't come with any of your interns." Sebastian asked and they both stopped in their tracks.

"Yes, in as much as they would love to, they had so much to do at the firm today so I had no choice but to come alone. I guess that's why I'm very happy you came to watch me. Thank you." Sebastian smiled and placed a quick kiss on Jayda's lips.

"Seb, there are cameras all over." Jayda whisper-blushed.

Sebastian shrugged like it was no big deal. "I'm not shy to express my love for you anywhere so let them deal with it." He placed his hand on her lower back and guided her out of the courthouse.
