NovelEnglishMichael felt a headache coming on. "I took care of asking for leave from James for you. He understands. Now lie back down and have your breakfast." He opened the meal box he was holding. It was breakfast from her favorite place, meat loaf.
"I'm not hungry." Chloe looked at the appealing meat loaf, but just as she finished speaking, her stomach betrayed her with a loud growl.
She felt a bit embarrassed, but Michael didn't seem to find it awkward at all. Instead, he poured her a glass of warm water.
"Even if you don't eat, the baby needs to eat." This comment made Chloe give him another look.
Then she wondered, "How could he say something like that so calmly, knowing the baby wasn't his? Didn't he see it as evidence of infidelity during our marriage?" Sometimes, she really couldn't understand Michael.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEver since she got pregnant, Chloe's appetite hadn't been great. She managed only a few bites before feeling full.
Michael sat by her bed. "Eat a bit more. You barely ate anything yesterday." She had also been tortured in the cabin for a while, and the doctor said her body was a bit weak.
Chloe shook her head. "I can't eat anymore." Seeing the exhaustion in her eyes, Michael hesitated for a moment before saying, "Tiffany is in prison. She wants to see you." Chloe immediately felt repulsed upon hearing that name.
After Tiffany arranged for someone to go to Wendy's hospital room, causing her suicide, Michael quickly found the surveillance footage and got her imprisoned. Since then, Chloe had considered Tiffany as good as dead. Even though the sentence wasn't long, and Chloe had fought and felt dissatisfied about it, the fact was that Tiffany wouldn't be out for at least three years. "Why does she want to see me? Does she think three years is too short?" If given the chance, Chloe would prefer Tiffany to stay in there for life.
"I know you don't want to see her, so I've already refused her, but I wanted to inform you just in case you had other plans." Chloe was slightly taken aback by his thoughtfulness. "If you remarry now, your wife would probably be happier than I am." She thought Michael would have a better life with another woman after their relationship.
After putting in so much effort, shouldn't she ask for scompensation? Michael misunderstood her words, his eyes lighting up with joy. "You want to remarry me?" "No way!" Chloe's response was instant, not pausing for even a second.
The smile on Michael's face faded.
"Then I won't have another wife." Chloe raised an eyebrow. "Don't speak too soon." It's not like anyone can't live without someone else. She once thought she wouldn't survive after her mother passed away, but here she was, still living. Besides, she and Michael didn't have deep feelings after three years of marriage.
Why did he have to pretend to be deeply in love in front of her? Chloe was genuinely exhausted. Before Michael could think of a response, she had already fallen asleep.
When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.
A nurse cin to check her blood pressure and perform routine tests. "Your body is generally fine, just a bit malnourished. Now that you're.
pregnant, you need to eat more l.ne the baby could have problems, understand?" Hearing the nurse's words, Chloe immediately felt guilty towards the baby in her belly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe touched her stomach, feeling a bit remorseful. "I understand."
Michael, standing nearby, looked worried too. "Does she really not m need any more tests? She inhaled smake for so long yesterday.
Shouldn't we do a comprehensive checkup?" Chloe was speechless. Did he think more tests wouldn't bother her?
The nurse glanced at him, assuming he was Chloe's husband.Understanding his concern, her tone was gentle. "She's pregnant. Stests can't be done. Please trust us; the patient is really fine." Michael was still a bit uneasy, but before he could speak again, the nurse interrupted him.
"Many expectant fathers experience anxiety before delivery. Sfathers are even more anxious than
the mothers. It's normal. If you need, I can refer you to a prenatal ve m counseling doctor." Both Chloe and Michael were stunned. Prenatal anxiety? Chloe couldn't believe Michael was experiencing prenatal anxiety.
