Zephyr chuckled dryly and quickly let go before he stared at Cordelia.
“Cordelia, do you have other reactions?”
“Well…” Cordelia recalled carefully and shook her head. “I don’t think so.”
“Phew!” Zephyr breathed in relief, and a hint of a smile finally appeared on his nervous face. “Good that there’s
none!”
“What?”
“I mean…” Zephyr wiggled his brows. “No reaction means you’re not pregnant!”
“Not necessarily so.” Seth prodded his gold-rimmed glasses and explained like a teacher, “Each person’s different,
so their reactions in pregnancy are different too! Some women have a good appetite, sleep a lot during pregnancy,
and don’t have nausea at all!”

Seth was rendered speechless and froze on the spot.
Zephyr was actually feeling contradictory. He hoped for a child to stop the elders from nagging, but he did not want
a child to disturb his and Cordelia’s alone time. When he thought of the aggressive little kid in his dream, especially,
he felt more frustrated.
Fredric could not help laughing when he saw how Zephyr looked like he was going to meet an enemy.
“Zephyr, you know what?” Seth suggested, “Buy a test kit at a nearby pharmacy for Cordelia first, then come to my
clinic tomorrow morning so I can get someone to give her a detailed checkup.”
“Yeah.” Fredric agreed. “There’s no point for us to make wild guesses here. It’s better to get it checked.”
“I think… I don’t think she’s pregnant.” Zephyr coughed and tried his best to look calm. He was inwardly panicking.
He did not want someone additional to fight for his wife with him!
Fredric patted his shoulder with a smile and left Royal Manor with Seth.
Both of them parted at the street.
Seth had night duty in his clinic, so he disappeared in the crowd after bidding Fredric goodbye. Fredric checked his
watch and saw that it was only 8:00 p.m. when the street was full of life.
People were bustling, and the neon lighting colored the sky. Christmas was near, so the malls were blasting
Christmas songs.
Fredric stopped in front of a building where a big screen was hung and playing entertainment news.
Michelle being deceived by Marcus was the joke of showbiz, and the extent she was being mocked and criticized on
the Internet was unprecedented.
The news broadcast her haggard looks, and the passersby pointed and gossiped before breaking out in laughter
and walking away.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFredric stood there, stunned for a moment. He did not have to hear it himself to know how those passersby had
laughed at Michelle just now. He took in a deep breath.
Did his heart hurt? It was not exactly bad. More of what he felt was regret. He regretted that he was blind and had
nearly harmed Zephyr and Cordelia. He also regretted that he had nearly turned away from his loved ones over a
woman like this.
Michelle would not be able to make a comeback anymore now.
There was no one to be blamed for this. She could only blame herself for wanting the shortcuts. What she did not
know was that the only shortcut in the world was working hard step by step.
Fredric had nothing to do going back to his firm this early, so he went to the bar.
He did not expect Trinity to have an after-party there with a group of actresses, booking the whole place, so others
could not enter.
Fredric was just about to leave when a sexy female celebrity stopped him. “Hey, you’re… Mr. Constable?”
Fredric looked up with a polite smile. “You’re Millie?”
Millie shrugged with a charming smile. It was pretty hard for her to stay low profile when she had such a captivating
and gorgeous face.
