Free Web NovelChapter 504: She Wanted To Check If She Was Really Pregnant
However, Christian indeed had done a lot of ridiculous things for Wendy. Once, he snuck into Wendy’s ward in the middle of the night. He even went out of the way to celebrate her birthday in Rheinsville City. Thinking back, Wendy now realized that she held a special place in Christian’s heart.
"He could send someone to kill you back then even though he likes you, not to mention Zen," sighed Michael. Michael was referring to the time when Christian instructed Yvonne to mess with the brakes in Wendy’s car.
The atmosphere became tense. This happened whenever they talked about Christian. So Michael smiled as he turned Wendy around and pressed onto her, "Let’s not discuss another man in bed. Wendy, could you bear me another child?"
"Aren’t Leah and Jake enough for you?" said Wendy as she pushed Michael away.
She placed her hands on Michael’s chest and said, "Leah will be upset if she’s going to have another baby brother or baby sister."
"No, she won’t be. Leah will love it," said Michael as he lowered his head to kiss Wendy’s forehead.
"How do you know that?" asked Wendy with a smile.
"I just know. Why don’t I ask her tomorrow?"
Wendy was about to say something, but Michael had covered her lips with his.
...
The next day, when Wendy woke up, Michael was already awake as usual.
As soon as she stepped outside the bedroom, she could smell the aroma of food wafting in the air.
She saw Michael busy preparing breakfast in the kitchen. Meanwhile, Zess was taking care of the two kids while helping them wash up. Wendy curled her lips into a smile upon watching the scene.
When Leah saw Wendy, she shouted "Mommy" sweetly. After Wendy washed up, all of them sat down and prepared to eat their breakfast.
Michael scooped the porridge for all of them and looked at Leah and Jake.
He recalled the conversation he had with Wendy the night before. Michael smiled as he asked, "Leah, Jake, Daddy would like to ask you something."
"Alright. What is it, Daddy?" Leah was very cooperative. She raised her head and looked at Michael with her big round eyes as she waited for him to ask the question.
As for Jake, he did not seem to be interested at all. He merely grunted in reply.
"Do you prefer a baby brother or a baby sister?" asked Michael, "What do you think if Daddy and Mommy have another baby?"
Upon hearing what Michael said, Jake took a look at Michael. Then, he looked at Wendy’s tummy. His small face looked a little tense. However, he remained silent.
Leah, on the other hand, was so excited that she was jumping with joy, "That’s great! If you have a baby, I will be an elder sister by then. I can play with Baby, and I can teach Baby things too. Just like how Jake teaches me now."
Wendy did not expect Michael to ask them such a question early in the morning. She was feeling really embarrassed right now. She pulled Michael’s hand under the table as a hint to not discuss this topic any further.
But Michael gave Wendy a big smile and asked them again, "Well, do you prefer a baby brother or a baby sister?"
"Hrmm..." Leah seemed to be giving it deep thought. She said, "If it’s a baby sister, I could tie her hair and dress her up beautifully every day. If it’s a baby brother, I will get him an Ultraman as a toy."
Michael saw that Jake remained silent. So he looked at Jake and asked him, "How about you, Jake?"
Jake did not want to answer the question initially. But since Michael had asked him directly, he had no choice but to answer him, "I have no preference. If the baby is a brother, I will get him to protect Leah with me. If it is a baby sister, I will protect her like how I have been protecting Leah."
...
Michael was very satisfied with both Leah’s and Jake’s answers. It seemed that they did not mind having a baby brother or a baby sister. In fact, they were kind of happy about it. freёwebnovel.com
"I told you they will like it," said Michael. He beamed with pride as he looked at Wendy next to him. "So you can rest assured."
Jake looked at Wendy’s tummy again. He asked, "Mummy, are you pregnant?"
"No," Wendy hurriedly replied. "It’s just that your Daddy insisted on asking you that question. In fact, Mummy has no intention of having another child. I’m already contented to have the both of you."
"Mummy, if you don’t intend to have a baby, then don’t force yourself. Do not give in to Daddy even if he is coaxing you to do so," said Jake. He knew that it was tough for a woman to bear a child. He did not want his Mummy to suffer.
"Didn’t you say that you are fine and have no preferences? Don’t you want another sibling?" asked Michael as his face darkened.
"It’s not a matter of whether I want a sibling or not. I don’t want Mummy to suffer because of pregnancy." As soon as Jake finished saying his piece, he lowered his head to continue with eating his breakfast.
Even though he was a little boy, he heard from Uncle Todd that his Mommy had almost lost her life when she gave birth to Leah. He did not want his mother to go through the same thing again.
Wendy was touched upon hearing what Jake said. Indeed, her son cared so much about her. Just as Wendy was about to say something, she felt a surge in her stomach all of a sudden. She covered her mouth and rushed to the bathroom immediately.
She placed both her hands on the basin, but she could not vomit.
"What’s wrong, Wendy?"
"Mommy..." Everyone followed her to the bathroom to see what was wrong with her.
"I’m fine. I was feeling nauseous, but I am fine now," said Wendy as she waved to gesture that she was fine. "Let’s continue with our breakfast."
"Are you okay?" asked Michael as he helped Wendy to the dining table worriedly, "I’d better take you to the hospital."
"I’m fine. Do I look sick now?" said Wendy with a smile. "Go to work after breakfast, okay? I’m going to send the kids to school too."
"But..." Michael wanted to say something, but he was interrupted by Wendy, "No buts. Let’s have our breakfast."
Zess took a good look at Wendy. She looked okay. Suddenly, Zess thought of something. Wendy seemed to have missed her period this month.
Zess then asked, "Wendy, are you..." Before Zess could finish her words, Wendy interrupted her, "Am I what? I’m fine.
Let’s eat. The food is turning cold."
"What’s wrong?" asked Michael. He had a bad feeling about this.
"Nothing. Let’s eat," said Wendy as she pulled Michael and Zess to the table. She then smiled, "I’m just feeling nauseous, that’s all. If I’m not feeling well, I will go to the hospital for a check-up, alright?
Upon hearing what Wendy said, Michael put his mind at ease again. Wendy put on a smiling face, but she was still feeling nauseous. She felt something was amiss too.
She did not know if she should be happy about it.
Although Wendy had irregular periods, she had missed her period for more than a month. Furthermore, this was not the first time she was expecting, so she knew how it felt to be pregnant.
...
Today was not the first time Wendy felt nauseous and she had been dry heaving. It just wasn’t that serious for the past two days, so she didn’t take it to heart.
Furthermore, she didn’t think about it in that way.
But today, it felt worse than usual. On top of that, Michael had once again brought up the topic of giving Leah and Jake a little brother or sister.
If Wendy still didn’t think that she was likely pregnant, then she would be a fool.
After dinner, Michael, who was still concerned about Wendy, asked, "I’d better take you to the hospital."
"I’m really fine," Wendy smiled, picking up Michael’s briefcase and suit jacket, and helping him put the jacket on. "Don’t you have a morning meeting to attend? You better get going or you’ll be late."
"It doesn’t matter if I’m late for the meeting. We could push it back till later. If you don’t go for a check at the hospital, I’ll be worried," Michael said, his voice was full of concern.
"Why are you so fussy when you’re a grown man?" Wendy stuffed the briefcase to Michael and reached to push him out the door. "Just go."
"Then if you still feel uncomfortable, you must let me know," Michael said, looking at Wendy.
"Okay." Wendy nodded as she answered the question in resignation.
After Michael had left, the smile on Wendy’s face dimmed.
"Mommy, will you be taking us to school today?" Leah asked while lifting her little head to smile at Wendy.
Wendy reached out to pat her on the head, nodded, and gently said, "Okay, Mommy will take you to school."
"Let me go with you." Zess appeared from the kitchen, removing her apron. free𝑤ebnovel.com
She was worried about Wendy.
It was perfectly normal for a man like Michael to not understand, but Zess is a woman.
Wendy looked at Zess’ expression and guessed that she might have figured out something. Wendy simply nodded silently.
"Bye Mommy, bye Auntie Zess."
"Bye." Wendy and Zess both smiled as they waved.
While on the way home, Zess finally asked, "Wendy, has your period for the month come? "
"I just knew you would think about it like that." Wendy faked a smile and continued, "Zess, what were you thinking?"
"No, Wendy. You’ve been on good terms with Mr. Lucas for so long. A pregnancy would be normal," Zess said. "Do you want to have a checkup at the hospital?"
"There’s no need for that. I’m definitely not pregnant," Wendy said with a serious expression. "Would I not have known if I was pregnant? It’s not like I haven’t given birth before, don’t you think so? It’s just that my stomach doesn’t feel too good today. Feeling nauseous doesn’t always mean that a woman is pregnant, does it? " Zess thought what Wendy said was reasonable and nodded, but something still felt wrong to her.
"Zess, you can head back first. I have nothing to do even if I go back, so I’ll go take a stroll at the company." Naturally, the company Wendy was referring to was MC.
She often went to MC when she was free to help Michal with some affairs.
Zess knew this, so she didn’t suspect anything.
Nodding, Zess asked, "Will you be back for lunch then?"
"I’ll call you in advance if I am," Wendy replied.
"Okay." Zess nodded again, then waved at Wendy.
After Zess had left, Wendy didn’t actually go to MC.
Instead, she went to the hospital.
She wanted to check if she was indeed pregnant.
And if so, how long has she been pregnant for...
