Chapter 712 With This Attitude?
Melissa had thought that getting pregnant would require serious preparation, followed by a series ofsteps before she could conceive. She never imagined it would be so simple.
As she came back to reality, Melissa blinked her eyes in disbelief and looked at the woman walkingbeside her with confusion. "Martha, where are we going now?"
"We're going to the doctor's office to get an ultrasound," Martha replied happily as she held up thetest results and led Melissa towards their destination.
When they arrived at the doctor's office, there weren't many people inside. Martha knocked on thedoor and upon hearing "come in" from the doctor, she pulled Melissa into the room.
After making sure that Melissa was comfortably seated on a chair, Martha handed over her friend'stest results with a smile. "Doctor, here are my best friend's test results. Could you please take alook?"
The doctor glanced at Martha before taking hold of the test results and carefully examining them.Soon after, she put them down with a warm smile on her face.
"Congratulations! You're pregnant for about two months now; everything looks normal with yourbaby's heartbeat and fetal sacs."
Melissa was momentarily stunned upon hearing this news but then placed her hand gently on herbelly - there was a baby growing inside of her!
Though Melissa was still somewhat incredulous about it, maternal love shone through in herexpression.
Seeing this reaction from Melissa only made Martha grin even wider, "Thank you so much, Doctor!"
After coming back to reality, Melissa gave the doctor a grateful look.
The doctor nodded and gave her some instructions before reminding her to come back for checkupregularly.
When they went outside, Melissa's mind drifted from time to time.
Martha playfully pinched Melissa's arm, "Does it hurt? Are you dreaming?"
"Nope, I'm not dreaming," replied Melissa excitedly after feeling some pain from being pinched byMartha earlier. "I'm not dreaming – I really do have a baby!"
"That's right," said Martha reassuringly while hailing an available taxi nearby. "And according to thedoctor today, your baby is already two months old and very healthy." As they got into the taxitogether, Melissa couldn't help but think back to what happened two months ago…
Two months ago, she had gone on a trip with Martha, it seemed like they had just left not too longago. She seemed to be knocked up on the night when they went to see male models performtogether. After realizing this, Melissa blushed.
Martha caught sight of it and jokingly teased her. "Looks like your baby in your belly is also a littleguy who wants to see some male models. I guess I'll have to make sure Jimmy exercises more sohe can catch the eye of young girls in the future."
After blushing, Melissa raised her head proudly and said, "Male models are so good-looking! Notonly do they have great looks but also their bodies are amazing. Watching them makes me feelhappy both physically and mentally."
The woman sitting next to her heard this and couldn't help but smile wider. "If Eden heard you saythat, I wonder what he would think."
Melissa glared at her friend threateningly while raising a fist, saying, "This is a secret between us!You can't tell him!"
The experience of sneaking out with Martha last time to watch male model performances was stillvivid in Melissa's mind. Eden acted like crazy that night; she didn't want to go through that again.
Thinking about it made Melissa shiver involuntarily.
Martha smiled as she squinted, "You beg for me with this kind of attitude?"
Hearing this, Melissa immediately put on a pitiful look and said, "I'm carrying your future daughter-in-law right now; how could you bear seeing me being bullied by others?"novelbin
"Well yeah... for my future daughter-in-law's sake then... I'll help you no matter what." Marthanodded in agreement while secretly feeling happy for Melissa inside.
The two were laughing and chatting all the way until they reached Melissa's house.
As soon as she got home, Melissa couldn't help but yawn, "I'm sleepy as soon as I get back."
"People who are pregnant tend to be like that. Just get used to it." As Martha spoke, she placed allthe things she bought onto the floor.
After both sat down on the sofa, Martha couldn't resist sharing many interesting stories from whenJimmy was younger which made Melissa look forward even more for her baby's arrival.
After another two yawns from Melissa, Martha asked concernedly, "You've been tired all day today.Would you like to rest for awhile?"
"That's exactly what I had in mind."
After Melissa finished speaking, she couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to rest here?"
"I have to go back. I'm going to pick up my son from school," Martha replied in a warm voice as shegot up and walked towards the door.
As she walked, she continued to remind Melissa with concern, "Be careful when you're home alone.If anything happens, call me."
"Don't worry. What could happen when I'm at home?"
Melissa smiled as she watched Martha put on her shoes and then looked at herself with lingeringconcern.
She waved helplessly and said, "Go ahead. Don't worry about me. If anything comes up, I'lldefinitely give you a call."
"That's more like it."
Martha gave Melissa a satisfied glance before saying goodbye and leaving her house.
After her best friend left, Melissa lazily reclined on the sofa again.
She carefully placed her fair hand on her belly and grinned foolishly.
She was pregnant now.
The baby was already over two months old; soon enough they would have an adorable kid - hersand Eden's baby that Martha had also been looking forward to seeing!
Thinking of this made Melissa's lips slowly curl upwards as she began imagining how Eden wouldreact when he heard the news about their child for the first time!
Meanwhile, after leaving Melissa's house, Martha called Stefan.
Soon enough, his deep voice came through from the other end of phone line, "Martha."
Hearing this low-pitched magnetic voice caused Martha's earlobes to turn red.
She pursed her lips for a moment before returning back to normalcy and asking warmly, "What timedo you finish work today?"
"Do you miss me?" The man on the other end of phone asked teasingly with a hint of smile in histone.
Upon hearing Stefan's words, Martha quickly denied it by saying, "No way! You're talkingnonsense."
"If you didn't miss me, then why did you call me?" The man continued teasingly while his voicecarried an unclear sense of flirtation.
Hearing Stefan's response left Martha momentarily speechless.
After regaining composure after few moments, she found her voice and said, "Finish work earlytoday because there is something important that I need tell you."
"Alright," Stefan replied softly with a flirtatious undertone.
Martha's face turned red again as she hung up the phone. She took a few deep breaths to calmherself before heading off to pick up Jimmy from school.
Meanwhile, in the Harrison Group's CEO office, Stefan sat behind his desk with his fingers casuallyresting on the armrest of his chair and a faint smile on his lips. His wife had asked him to leave workearly for something important.
A few days ago, she had sent her artwork over to Rhys' place and Rhys started to take action in thatregard. So, it couldn't be about that.
Stefan pursed his lips and furrowed his brow as he tried to guess what else it could be about. Hewas dying to go back home right now and find out what was going on.
But he couldn't yet.
He still had plenty of matters that needed attending; some projects simply couldn't afford any moredelays or they'd risk losing not only money but also their reputation.
