Chapter 105
Why did Timothy need assurance about her ability to convincingly play the role of a pregnant woman?
Mia thought for a moment, wondering why pretense was necessary.
Considering she was genuinely pregnant, wouldn’t this be an authentic portrayal?
In response, Mia sincerely asked, “Is acting even necessary in this case?”
“You’re right. You’ve always had a knack for acting,” Timothy acknowledged. “Don’t overthink it. Martha
will be here to assist you, ensuring you maintain the facade without arousing suspicion.”
“Mr. Barrett, rest assured, I’ll execute my role flawlessly. It’s high time you prioritize scheduling that
surgery.”
Mia had no intention of confronting Maya herself, she thought it would be more suitable for Timothy to
handle
the matter.
Well aware of Maya’s inclination to feign innocence, Mia expected her to continue the act in front of
Timothy.
Consequently, there should be no delay in the surgery from Maya’s end.
Exiting the car, Mia entered the living room with Timothy following closely behind, his gaze reflecting a
mix of
emotions.
Martha, patiently waiting in the living room, greeted Mia with a warm smile, “Mrs. Barrett, I’ve made
sure the kitchen has prepared dishes suitable for expectant mothers. If you have any questions or
concerns, please
feel free to let me know.”
“Perfect timing, I do have some questions,” Mia replied.
Instinctively placing her hand on her belly, Mia suggested, “Should we consider acquiring a fetal heart
monitor to occasionally check the baby’s heartbeat?”
In reality, Mia was inexperienced with such situations and felt unsure about the right course of action.
She had read multiple articles on pregnancy websites stressing the significance of regularly checking
the fetal
heart rate.
These articles cautioned that neglecting regular monitoring could lead to overlooked potential issues
with the
baby.
Navigating this unfamiliar territory, especially without informing Patricia about her pregnancy, left Mia
feeling
challenged.
Given her role as a pregnant woman, Mia viewed it as an opportunity to educate herself.
At this moment, Martha added, “Mrs. Barrett, rest assured, I’ve made arrangements for a fetal heart
monitoringnovelbin
device. We can test it now.
“However, if the pregnancy is still early, the heartbeat might not be audible yet. But don’t worry, I’ve
also brought Dr. Levin along for any additional health assessments you may require.”

Timothy firmly interrupted, “That won’t be necessary, leaving Martha somewhat puzzled.
Sensing the tension in the room, Mia stepped in, saying, “Martha, Timothy simply means we should
only be concerned if there’s a valid reason. As of now, I believe everything is proceeding as it should.”
Understanding Mia’s intent, Martha nodded. “Very well, I’ll make my way to the kitchen. Mrs. Barrett,
please make sure you get some rest.”
Once Martha left, Mia settled onto the sofa, her gaze lingering on the fetal heart monitoring device
nearby. A temptation arose within her to secretly check it out.
Timothy’s eyes narrowed with concern. “You nearly let our secret slip earlier. What’s your strategy if the
monitor fails to pick up a heartbeat or if Dr. Levin detects something out of place?
“How do you plan to account for that?” he questioned sharply.
“Don’t worry, I’ve got it handled. I’ll ensure nothing appears amiss. Moreover, we only have to put this
facade
up for another week.”
“Once the surgery is complete, there’ll be no need for deception, correct?” Mia replied, locking eyes
with him, her dark almond–shaped eyes radiating calm assurance.
As Timothy looked into her eyes, an unsettling feeling crept over him. He straightened his tie,
remarking.” Indeed, maintaining our discretion is paramount.”
As Timothy ascended the stairs, a hint of sadness shadowed Mia’s gaze.
She tenderly caressed her belly, whispering, “Honey, don’t let your father’s words bother you.
Remember, Mommy will always cherish you.”
Come dinnertime, Mia was welcomed by a splendid array of dishes on the table, each appearing both
exquisite and nutritious.
Beside her, Martha noted, “Mrs. Barrett, we understand that a pregnant woman’s preferences on food
can shift.
“These dishes are tailored to your usual tastes. Please let us know your favorites, and we’ll make sure
they’re consistently served.”
Looking at the assortment of dishes before her, Mia was captivated by the extravagant pleasures that
wealth could provide.
With utensils in hand, she indulged in the exquisite flavors, feeling every bit like royalty as she relished
the finest delicacies during her pregnancy.
