Judy's pregnancy was a secret that no one had revealed, and Isabella had only just found out about it. While Isabella was shocked, she also felt a bit at a loss. She didn't like Judy, but the baby in Judy's belly was Lewis', and a grandchild couldn't be denied just because a daughter-in-law was. Seeing Isabella's reaction, Serina was also surprised; how come even Isabella didn't know about Judy's pregnancy? Judy casually sipped her soup and said, "Yes, I'm pregnant." Isabella's brows were furrowed tightly: "Your stomach is really competitive, and you're already pregnant after such a short time." Judy arched her lips, deliberately saying, "Talking about this, you should praise your son. It's his credit." Isabella looked at Judy's belly: "How long have you been pregnant? Have you had a prenatal checkup, and what did the doctor say?" Seeing Isabella's concern for Judy's belly, Serina had a bad premonition. Even if Isabella disliked Judy, her attitude might change when she saw the
Judy chose to ignore it. At ten o'clock in the evening, when the last of the customers left, Avery asked, "Judy, aren't you going home? It's so late."Judy smiled and said, "Going back won't help me sleep, I slept too much during the day. I'll take a look at the accounts to kill some time."An hour later, Avery was still worried about Judy and came back to the office, "Judy, aren't you going home tonight?""You can go back, I'll wait a bit longer," Judy replied, not wanting to go home and see Serina.As soon as she finished speaking, she heard footsteps approaching the office.Because they were too familiar, Judy recognized the person coming as Lewis.Lewis stood at the office door with a serious expression.Avery sensed that something was wrong—had they argued?—and left quickly without interrupting.After Avery left, Judy pretended to focus on the accounts, but her mind was racing.Lewis, seeing that she wouldn't respond, walked over and picked her up from the sofa, carrying her out.
Lewis, from Judy's words, immediately knew that Serina had told Judy about his visit to the hotel the previous day, and had twisted the truth completely. However, seeing Judy's reaction, he realized that she had not been taken in, otherwise it would not have been as simple as ignoring him. Lewis stared at Judy, his eyes filled with a smile that held an unreadable meaning, making her feel uncomfortable."Do I have flowers on my face?" Judy asked, just as Lewis cupped her face with both hands and kissed her passionately, grinning with delight and saying, "I really didn't choose the wrong person. You're amazing, honey."He had agreed to Serina's unreasonable demand as a test for Judy. With his status and position, he would undoubtedly have countless women trying to seduce him. If a marriage lacked absolute trust, it would be as fragile as a piece of paper, easily torn apart."What are you doing, startling me like that?" Judy pretended to be disgusted and pushed him away, saying, "Spit."
After Judy returned to the room and changed her clothes, Lewis entered the room and closed the door behind him to draw a bath for her. In these details, Lewis was meticulous, which was why Judy trusted him so much.Lewis would even thoughtfully put rose petals in the bathtub and adjust the water temperature before announcing, "Judy, the bath is ready.""OK," Judy replied and went into the bathroom.He purposefully stood at the door of the bathroom, suggesting, "Why not take a bath together? It saves water."Judy poked his chest playfully, "What are you thinking? It would be you who suffers if we did."During the first three months of pregnancy, sexual activity must be prohibited to avoid any impact on the baby.Lewis sighed.Judy soaked in the bathtub for about ten minutes before getting up, wrapping herself in a bath towel and checking her reflection in the mirror, only to find her eyebrows a bit messy. She picked up the eyebrow trimmer to fix them.The trimmer was too sharp, and Jud
That night, Judy and Lewis slept well, but Serina couldn't sleep. She had taken her medication and was sitting up in bed, her mind filled with the sounds she had heard earlier, imagining the scene of Judy and Lewis "having sex".The next morning.Serina woke up early and, when she saw Lewis exercising in the yard, she changed into her exercise clothes and went outside."Good morning, Lewis," Serina greeted with a smile."Good morning," Lewis replied.Lewis asked, "How did you sleep last night?""Very well," Serina lied, "very secure."Lewis's lips held a hint of indifference: "I hope you can last for three months. If you can't, don't force it. Too much stimulation for heart attacks can be serious. Don't eavesdrop at the door; it's not good for your health."Serina: "..."Serina was embarrassed to be caught eavesdropping."I didn't mean to...""Serina." Lewis wiped the sweat from his neck with a towel and stared at her coldly, "I promised you to stay here for three months, but you also
After confirming the news of Judy's pregnancy, both the grandmother and Antonio were very happy.Antonio was very generous and gave Judy a card, "There is five million US dollars inside, use it to buy some nutritional supplements, Isabella's words may not sound pleasing, but she cares about you, and this money is what she asked me to give you."Judy knew that the money was not prepared by Isabella but by Antonio to ease their relationship and said this intentionally.Antonio was genuinely happy; he had previously worried that his son treated marriage as a joke, marrying so hastily, but now it seemed he had found true love and married so quickly.The three of them chatted and laughed, leaving Serina unable to join the conversation. She was also confused about Isabella's motives, as she had been asked to disrupt Judy and Lewis's relationship but was now so generous with money.With the child in her womb as a guarantee, who could easily shake her status?Daniel called Serina and was read
Antonio and Isabella failed to notice Philip's change. Antonio argued, "What enemy? How can you say that? Isabella, Philip in this situation now. Can't we just ignore him? Why begrudge a fool in such a big house?""Antonio, I think you've really lost your mind." Isabella chided, "You will regret it, birds of a feather flock together, and you will end up like your brother Bard, ungrateful.""You're going too far, Philip is Philip, Bard is Bard." Antonio defended, saying, "Anyway, Philip has to stay here, I can't just abandon him. If you can't stand it, I'll arrange for Philip to stay in the back house. That should be fine, right?""Whatever you want." Isabella didn't want to argue with Antonio over a fool, but she warned, "Make sure someone keeps an eye on him, don't let him cause trouble. He's not allowed in the front yard."Seeing Isabella agree, Antonio smiled, "Alright, I'll have someone keep an eye on him.""Philip, come with me to the back yard, take a bath, and change your cloth
Lillian's movements were quick, and her purpose was to check for a birthmark on Judy's waist. Startled by the sudden action, Judy reacted instinctively by quickly pulling down her clothes and taking a step back, her tone becoming a bit sharp: "Aunt Lillian, you don't need to help."Her tone contained a hint of annoyance.Because of Judy's quick reaction, Lillian didn't have time to see clearly whether there was a birthmark on her waist."I should still help you clean it up, I'm really sorry." Lillian was persistent and still wanted to have a look.Judy raised her hand to block, "No need, you eat first, I'll go to the restroom to clean up."Leaving these words, Judy quickly left the booth.When Lillian suddenly lifted her clothes, Judy thought Lillian wanted to hurt her unborn baby, and she was so scared that her heartbeat accelerated.In the restroom, Judy quickly cleaned the stains on her clothes, which she couldn't fully remove, but she had to make do for now.Judy washed her hands
