Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife

Chapter 117 Give Them A Surprise

Thud!

The chopsticks in Yvonne's hand slipped to the ground, and her whole body froze. It took a while before she finally replied, "Pregnant?"

"Yes, Yvonne, you didn't have your period last month and you're often sleepy. If you aren't pregnant, what is it?" Sue was excited.

Yvonne touched her own abdomen dumbfoundedly," I... I'm really pregnant?"

"What else could it be? You're definitely pregnant," Sue beamed. "Ah, we need to share this great news. W e have to tell Master and Mr. Lancaster quickly. They will be delighted to know the news."

With that, she grabbed the landline phone, ready to make a call.

Yvonne quickly stopped her, "Sue, wait."

"What’s wrong, Yvonne?" Aunt Song looked at her puzzledly. 1

Yvonne opened her mouth, "It's better not to call and tell them yet."

"Why?"

"Because I don't want them to be disappointed. What i f I'm not pregnant? So let's wait until we're sure before we inform them," Yvonne said sensibly.

When Sue told her that she might be pregnant, she was so overjoyed that she was almost on the verge of tears.

But after that euphoria, she calmed down.

They couldn't be certain she was pregnant just by these speculations. She had to get a proper checkup report. If it turned out that she just had an upset stomach and wasn't really pregnant, wouldn't it be quite a farce?

After Sue heard what Yvonne said, her excitement waned. Her impulse to tell the old man the good news was also suddenly extinguished.

"Yvonne, you have a point. Why don't I contact Dr. Summers and he can diagnose it for you?" Sue suggested.

Yvonne shook her head, "Henry doesn't want me to get close to him."

"But why?" Sue was stunned.

Yvonne shrugged her shoulders, "I don't know, so don't contact Dr. Summers, I'll find another doctor for the checkup. If I'm really pregnant, I can also surprise them."

"That's right, Yvonne. It's time to give them a surprise. " Sue agreed wholeheartedly.

Yvonne took her hands off her abdomen and started t o bend down to get her chopsticks.

When Sue saw this, she quickly stopped her, "Yvonne, don't move, I'll do it."

Sue bent down to pick up the chopsticks, and as she did this she also advised Yvonne, "In the future, don't bend over like this, lest you hurt the child in your womb."

Yvonne didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Sue, you're exaggerating. I'm not even sure if I'm pregnant."

"That won't do. What if you're really pregnant?" Sue helped her get a new pair of chopsticks.

Yvonne took them, "Thank you, Sue."

"It's my duty." Sue chuckled cheerfully, then she asked, "By the way, when are you planning to go for the checkup, Yvonne?"

"Within these two days." Yvonne continued eating the rice in the bowl.

Sue was a little dissatisfied, "It's better if you go for a checkup earlier. How about today?" Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

"Probably not today, I have an appointment today." Yvonne smiled apologetically.

Sue became nervous, "Who are you meeting? Will you b e drinking?"

"I'm meeting my best friend. She got a promotion and she's inviting me to dinner. As for drinking.."

Yvonne thought about it and shook her head, "I won't drink."

"Good." Sue was relieved, "This is a crucial period. Yvonne, you must not drink alcohol. You must also avoid some foods as you might have a miscarriage if you eat them."

Yvonne's heart skipped a beat when she heard that,' Sue, what sort of food would cause such a serious outcome?"

She would have to pay special attention, even if she wasn't certain she was pregnant yet.

But what if she was?

"A lot." Sue answered, "Let me tell you about some common food that pregnant women shouldn't eat, for example, seafood.."

Yvonne spent the whole afternoon listening to Sue sharing her knowledge about pregnant women.

Yvonne listened very attentively, and she even took down some important notes on her phone.

Looking at the long list of notes regarding pregnancy recorded in her phone, she sighed long and hard.

She had barely even experienced being pregnant, and yet she could already foresee how troublesome it would get in the near future if she really was pregnant. She wouldn't be able to eat this and that. Pregnancy was so difficult.

But with the thought that the child would be hers and Henry's, the hardship seemed insignificant.

As she thought of this, Yvonne touched her abdomen again and murmured, "Lil' baby, I hope you’re really in Mummy's tummy."

"Don't worry, Yvonne. You're definitely pregnant," Sue quickly assured when she overheard her words.

A smile tugged at the corner of Yvonne's lips, "I hope s o too. I can't talk with you anymore, I've to go now."

"Okay, Yvonne. Be careful now. Don't hurt yourself and don't eat anything I instructed that you shouldn't," Sue lectured worriedly.

"I know," Yvonne reassured.

"Good. Let's go. I'll walk you to the door." Sue picked u p her bag.

Yvonne wanted to refuse her initially, but seeing how Sue was being careful, she couldn't bring herself to do so.

After leaving the villa, Yvonne took a cab directly to the neighborhood where Lynette lived.

It was the weekend so Lynette didn't have to work." Who is it?" Lynette asked groggily as she was still asleep.

"It's me." Yvonne couldn't help laughing.

Lynette yawned, "Oh, Yvonne."

"I've left my house. I'm about to go over to look for you, are you home?"

"What?" Lynette snapped wide awake, "You've already left your house?"

"Yeah, I thought we agreed to have a meal together," Yvonne answered.

Lynette rubbed her messy bird's nest hair, "I'm so sleep deprived that I momentarily forgot about it. Where are you now?"

Yvonne looked out the cab window, "I'm in the cab now, I'll be at your place in about ten minutes."

"Okay, got it. Let me clean up first. Just come in when you get here. You have the keys to my place anyway."

"Okay," Yvonne replied.

After about ten minutes, Yvonne stood in front of a large door and pulled out a key from her bag to open it.

"Lyn," she pushed open the door.

Lynette still blowing her hair, "You're here. Sit down. I t might take a while."

"There's no rush." Yvonne put her bag down and sat down, "Where are your mum and dad?"

"One's playing chess and the other went for square dancing classes," Lynette answered with her lips curled.

Yvonne covered her lips and laughed, "Your parents are really laid back." "Of course, they definitely have a more carefree lifestyle than us," Lynette concurred.

Yvonne poured herself a glass of water, "Is it just the two of us for dinner today?"

"Yeah, my birthday is coming up. I need to spend my money on a lot of things. I need to be thrifty, so I'll only treat you," Lynette said with a pained voice.

Yvonne found it funny, "Your parents are paying for your birthday celebration, so why do you look as if your wallet's hurting?"

"You don't understand, my parents' money is my money too. How can I not feel bad?" Lynette sighed.

A hint of envy fleeted past Yvonne's eyes, "That's nice."

Lynette's harmonious family and doting parents were what Yvonne wished for.

She had always wondered why some parents would give their all to their children, while there were others who did not love their children in the slightest and instead took endlessly from them.

Unfortunately, her parents were the latter! If she had a child, she would not favor a son over a daughter.

Regardless of their gender, she would treat them as her precious children.

Thinking of this, Yvonne decided to go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup.

She couldn't wait to know if she was pregnant.

"Yvonne, what are you thinking about?" Lynette

stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Yvonne, "I called you twice and you didn't respond."

Yvonne came back to her senses, "Nothing, what's wrong?"
