Chapter 726 Afraid of Being Coveted
Stefan smiled and started picking out fish bones carefully.
After he was done, he then served the fish to Martha.
“Be good, you can have as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll have the chef make more and send it over."During the video call with Bianca earlier, she reminded him that it would be good for Martha to eat more fish.
Fish was very friendly to Martha, as it could help make her baby smarter.
As soon as Stefan thought of this, he immediately gave the order.
He hoped that their daughter would be a smart and lovely little girl in the future, so she wouldn't be bullied by others.At this moment, Martha, eating the fish that Stefan had finished picking out, squinted comfortably.
"Such days are really nice."
It was quite nice to be a freeloader, with food readily available at hand and mouth.
Martha had this idea in mind and said, "Stefan, | suddenly realized that being pregnant was great and | could enjoy myself all thetime."
The man furrowed his brow slightly and asked with a faint smile, "When have you not enjoyed yourself?"Martha hesitated for a moment, then carefully thought about it and nodded seriously."| seem to be enjoying all along.”
Usually, when she eats fish, it is Stefan who picks the fish bones before giving the fish to her. When she eats shrimps, it is alsoStefan who peels the shells and hands them to her.
It seems that she has always truly enjoyed Stefan's kindness towards her.
The woman glanced at the man sitting beside her, blinked her eyes and said solemnly, "Stefan, | will treat you well in the futureand try to make you feel my kindness towards you."
Upon hearing these words, Stefan's lips curled slightly and a deep voice came from his lips.
"Don't you know how you should repay me? | want you."
Martha was stunned for a moment, and certain intimate scenes suddenly flashed through her mind, causing her cheeks to flush.After she regained her composure, she lowered her head and silently ate the fish in her bowl, no longer speaking.
Stefan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her appearance.
"Try this small pork rib, the chef specially made it for you to eat," Martha responded in a low voice and buried her head in hermeal.
Time in the hospital passed quickly for Martha. Besides eating and drinking, she spent her days lying down, playing on herphone and reading books. As a result, her complexion improved significantly.
When Martha saw "Rhys" on her phone screen, she paused for a moment.
After she won first place in national painting competition, she called Rhys and told him this good news and also her pregnancyand hospitalization, which led him to tell her to rest for a few more days.
In the following days, besides video chatting with Jimmy and Melissa every day, Martha could only read books to pass time. Shenever expected that today she would receive a call from Rhys.
Could it be that he wanted to urge her to come back soon?
Martha answered the phone with curiosity and said softly, "Rhys."
“Martha, | have good news for you,” came Rhys' happy voice which made Martha even more puzzled.
It was rare for Martha to hear his happy voice like this one, which deepened her suspicion even further.
She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked gently, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"
“Our studio's first batch of sales earned us ten million dollars in profit!" said Rhys cheerfully as he tapped his fingers on his desk.Martha was clearly stunned when she heard this news.
Winning first place in the national painting competition would give their studio free publicity and increase its popularity but neverdid she expect such high profits from their first batch of sales.
Her hand holding onto the phone tightened slightly as her eyes brightened up. "Rhys... thank you so much for your hard workwhile | wasn't there."
"No biggie! When you two come back home together, we'll have dinner together!" replied Rhys without hesitation while stillsmiling widely.
Martha smiled triumphantly at Stefan after regaining composure before replying confidently, "Of course! In other words, you'relike our magic money tree now!"
Upon hearing this statement from Martha, Rhys couldn't help but chuckle before asking kindly, "When do you plan on comingback?"
"We should be coming back soon, maybe next week," replied Martha happily as she played with her fingers, feeling contentedinside.
She and Stefan had been staying in Ulmore for several days now, and she was feeling much better physically. She knew thatgoing back home would only take a couple more days.
Two days later, Stefan watched Martha happily, eating her food with a furrowed brow. He was hesitant about whether or not totell her about the dinner party.
Martha's health had improved significantly during their stay at the hospital, but he still didn't feel comfortable leaving her alonethere.
However, news came from Eden that if they could sign a contract with the Palmer family in Ulmore, then the Harrison Groupwould be able to take their business to another level.
Although the Harrison Group had achieved great success in their business endeavors, the Palmer family's expertise could helpthem overcome some of their weaknesses. Therefore, signing this contract would be highly beneficial for both parties involved.
Just as Stefan was contemplating how to bring up this topic with Martha without worrying her too much, she happened to look upand catch his hesitation in his eyes.
As she ate her meal calmly and quietly beside him, she asked him gently, "What are you hiding from me?"
Stefan lifted his gaze towards hers and realized that Martha had noticed something unusual about him. But he quickly relaxed,knowing that it was normal for his wife to pick up on it.
After regaining his composure, he said solemnly, "the Palmer family is currently negotiating a partnership with the HarrisonGroup. the Palmer family is as powerful as the Harrison Group, so Eden wants me to go meet them personally to reach thedeal.”
"Then go," replied Martha nonchalantly as she pointed towards the bowl of soup placed before her on the table.
Stefan understood what she meant by this gesture and quickly picked up a porcelain bowl before filling it with soup for Marthawhile reminding her carefully, "Be careful not to burn yourself."

She put down her spoon slowly while turning towards Stefan who seemed hesitant.
"Will you take me along with you?"
Stefan frowned, and obviously didn't want Martha to go with him.
"You are still pregnant now. If you attend the dinner, I'm afraid you will be too tired."
"No, | have been recuperating well in the hospital recently and my body has almost fully recovered.”
Martha urgently spoke out about hercurrent situation. After finishing hersentence, she noticed that the m

Stefan pursed his lips. "But..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Martha interrupted him and said, "Stefan, just let me go with you. I've been cooped up in thehospital for so long and it's time for me to get out and walk around."
"| promise that | will follow you to the banquet and behave myself. | won't run around, okay?"Martha's eyes sparkled as she looked at the man in front of her, her pretty face filled with a pitiful expression.
God knows how much she wants to go out and see other scenery, but Stefan doesn't let her go out at all, fearing that she mightget his precious daughter hurt.
When she was pregnant with Jimmy before, she even worked part-time everywhere to earn money, but Jimmy was safe andsound.
In Martha's opinion, Stefan seemed to be very cautious since it was the first time he encountered her being pregnant.After hesitating for a while, Stefan couldn't resist Martha's coquettishness and finally agreed.
Martha's mood became much better after she heard a satisfactory answer.
"Finally, | can go out and have a look. Going to a dinner party to relax and unwind would be nice."
Martha continued to eat while humming a tune.
