Chapter 1148
Ryleigh walked out of the ultrasound room while rubbing her abdomen. She was not at all prepared for the sudden
addition to the family member that was living in her womb at the moment.
‘I got pregnant before I even got ready to become a mother.
‘But looking back on Louis’ various actions in the past few weeks now, he’s been telling me that I’m getting fat, but
he hasn’t been restricting me from eating anything at all. I’ve not been allowed to stay up late, eat junk food, wear
high heels, and even jump around. Don’t all these mean that he’s noticed this since weeks ago?’
Louis stood and waited in the corridor. He was about to speak when he saw Ryleigh
coming out of the room. Ryleigh stopped him by shoving the smacking his chest with the result. “Why didn’t you tell
me about this earlier?”
He took the report and looked down at her aggrieved face. “Do you… Do you not want to have kids?”
“Of course not,” Ryleigh replied anxiously.” If you had told me about this earlier, I would have started preparing
myself since then. And now that I learned I’m pregnant out of the blue before mentally preparing myself for the
news, I’m afraid…”

want to keep the baby if you were to know that you’re pregnant earlier.”
He had originally planned to conceal the pregnancy until three months later so that she would not be able to have
an abortion after the fetus was fully formed. However, he had ignored the fact she would be afraid of conceiving a
child.
“Who told you that I wouldn’t want a kid?” Ryleigh laughed and cried in Louis’ arms. * I’m only scared. I’m afraid of
the pain.”
Louis wiped her tears away and kissed her on the top of her head. “I’ll be there with you throughout the whole
process. If you’re afraid of the pain, we’ll choose to deliver the baby through a C-section. I’ll also get you the best
medical team to ensure your safety and make you suffer less.”
Ryleigh was coaxed into a guffaw. “I wonder if you do mean it. And just… I’m only making an assumption here. Just
in case I’m going through a difficult childbirth, will you choose to save the mother or the baby?”
Louis pinched her face with a serious expression. “Isn’t this a no-brainer? I’ll of course, choose to save you first. We
can always conceive another child in the future. But who else can I ask to be my wife if you’re gone because of
childbirth?”
Ryleigh chuckled and plunged her head into his arms again.
“I feel like I didn’t get myself a wife through our marriage, but a daughter instead because she cries all day long…”
“What did you just say?”
“Nothing much.” Louis wrapped his arm around her and said solemnly, “I was saying that we should go home
already.”
At the de Arma mansion…
“I’m going to be a great-grandfather already?” Hernandez learned that Ryleigh was pregnant and was so happy
that he could not keep his mouth closed. “Oh my, this is really a delightful event. How great is this? I’ll actually be
able to see the birth of my great grandson before I kick the bucket. I think my whole life has been completed
because of this.”
Hernandez immediately summoned the servants and asked them to prepare a scrumptious dinner banquet for
them.
Louis helped Ryleigh to sit down on the couch as Hernandez stared at him. “Take good care of your wife. A
pregnancy is the most tiring thing that any woman in the world has to go through. I didn’t even dare to make your
grandmother do anything when she was pregnant with your mother, as the baby was our top priority throughout
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmthe whole journey.”
Louis nodded helplessly. “I know. You don’t have to remind me about that.’
Hernandez then added with a stern expression, “Also, don’t make your wife angry again. Mental stability is also
crucial to any pregnant lady. Do you get me?”
Louis chuckled. “How would I dare to make her angry? Do you know how long it would take for me to coax her
every time she cries?”
Ryleigh glared at him while Louis rubbed the top of her head as the smile on his face intensified.
The continuous heavy rain baptized the capital of the Yaramoor. The roses of the St. Donnor Estate looked even
more beautiful when they bloomed during the rainy season. The rain droplets dripped off the eaves and onto the
bluestone slabs and flowed into the soil, nourishing the newly grown buds.
Nolan and Yorrick were sitting behind the curtains, playing chess, while a servant was standing next to their desk,
brewing tea. The boiled water was then poured onto the tea leaves, and the fragrance of the tea pervaded the
whole room.
Yorrick looked out the window. “The rainy season is here again. This looks bad.”
“Yeah, this weather looks pretty bad.” Nolan picked up the teacup and took a tiny sip. “It seems that I’ll be staying
here for a few more days,
