"Honey! Did you eat something bad? Should I call a doctor?" "Jeffrey!" Karen's sudden shout from inside made Jeffrey jump out of his skin.
A chill ran down his spine. Something felt terribly wrong. But he had been on his best behavior lately. What could possibly be the issue? "What's wrong? Honey, please, enlighten me!" With a click, the bathroom door swung open. Karen stormed out, fuming, "You big liar!" "Huh?" Jeffrey immediately raised his hands in surrender, "That's a serious accusation! I only went to Everett's firm once for a meeting! I swear! I can get the meeting records if you don't believe me. The Lopez Corporation's conference room even has surveillance. I'll get the footage right now! I never went to a bar!” As he was about to grab his phone to call his assistant at thepany, Karen snatched it away.
"I'm not talking about you hitting the bars!" "Then what is it?" Jeffrey was utterly confused, unable to grasp why his wife was so irate all of a sudden.
He felt as if he was being sentenced without even knowing the crime.

Just moments ago, everything was fine. Then she dashed to the restroom and now...

It hit Jeffrey like a ton of bricks.
"You're not pregnant, are you?" Karen was too annoyed to talk. "I don't know, I'm just guessing." Her symptoms mirrored those from when she was pregnant with their daughter.
Jeffrey immediately grabbed her wrist, "Don't just guess! Let's go to the hospital and find out for sure." But she wriggled free, stepping back.
"Letgo, I'm not going." "My dear, how will we know if you don't get checked? You can't assyou're pregnant just because you threw up! We took precautions, remember? I was sure we agreed no more kids." Having one daughter had already taken its toll on Karen, leaving her worn out. Jeffrey had no desire for another child! "I bet you did it on purpose, wanting a son, didn't you? Took your chance when I wasn't looking to sneak one past, makingpregnant!" If they took precautions, the chances should be nearly zero, right? Why did she have to be so unlucky? "On my honor, I had no such intentions One child is more than enough for me, let alone a son! Before, I didn't even want any kids, why would I suddenly care about having a son or a daughter?" ñovels " " Jeffrey raised his hands in oath, "I sincerely had no such thoughts! But if you're really doubtful, let's go to the hospital and get it checked. If you're pregnant, we don't have to keep it, okay?"
