Trapped pregnant with a Billionaire child

And indeed, when they arrived in the main hall, Letta became the center of attention for the people who gazed at their arrival. Marco held Letta’s waist even tighter, making Letta’s steps feel even heavier. Letta could see the expressions of the people looking at her with disapproving glares. Until Edward greeted them, making Marco give a slight smile and choose to approach his mother, giving her a welcome kiss.

Then, Edward commented, “You’re late,” while greeting Letta and Marco.

“Just a few minutes, due to the traffic that made us arrive late,” Marco replied.

“Very well, then let’s continue the discussion in the dining room. Besides, the food is ready. Let’s move to the dining table inside. And now you’ve met my son’s wife, haven’t you? Although she might not have greeted you yet, you’ve seen her face at the wedding reception. So, there’s no need for introductions today. There are still many important discussions we need to finish,” Edward said to their other family members, who were present at the large Jovanka family dinner. They moved toward the large dining table that had been prepared with dishes by Edward and Elena.

Meanwhile, Marco and Letta sat right beside each other. For a while, they just exchanged small talk, and Letta gradually began to eat the meal in front of her. However, her movement stopped when a voice interrupted her.

“Is the food not to your liking, sister-in-law?” someone asked, making Letta finally look ahead, where a man was now smiling slyly at her, causing Letta to furrow her brow. Letta didn’t know that someone had been observing her since earlier, and she didn’t really know who the person in front of her was either. Then, Letta looked at Marco, who was now glaring at the man. Letta could clearly see his jaw tense at the sight.

“You better just finish the food in front of you and not look at another man’s wife,” Marco said, making the man chuckle.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.

“I wasn’t paying attention to him, I just glanced at him, and it seems like his appetite is a bit low,” he said, making Marco even more displeased with his response.

“That’s normal in the early stages of pregnancy, so never mind things that are not your concern. It’s better if you mind your own eating,” Marco said. Then, Letta could hear another voice from the man next to her.

“Come on, Marco, your cousin is just concerned about your wife’s condition. Somehow, she looks thinner than the last time we saw her at the reception,” said a middle-aged woman who immediately gave a warm smile to the man next to her.

“Oh really? Auntie seems to be very attentive to your wife’s condition. Auntie, don’t worry. She’s in good health, just her weight has decreased at the moment,” Marco said again, making Letta finally realize that the person in front of her was Marco’s cousin and also his aunt. Although Letta still didn’t know their names, she tried not to get involved any further in the conversation. After all, there was Marco handling it, Letta thought.

“Eat a lot, don’t let people say that you’re not living happily with me,” Marco said, gently caressing the corner of Letta’s lips, being noticed by the people around them. This made Letta silent, then she shifted her gaze to the food in front of her. She truly became the center of attention among the people around her.

“Right, don’t let people misunderstand just because they see your current condition,” Helena said to her daughter-in-law, making Letta just nod.

“Maybe it’s because my appetite is still poor, as usual,” Letta replied softly.

“Yes, that could happen, as Marco said. If it happens in the early stages of pregnancy, it’s normal, and we’ll get through it quickly. Cheer up,” the middle-aged woman in front of her said, making Letta just smile.

“Continue your meal. After that, we will move to the family room,” Edward said, making the others now quiet again and just focusing on their respective meals. Meanwhile, Letta was startled when Marco suddenly gripped her thigh tightly, making Letta look at Marco.

“I was asking if you want more,” Marco said in a threatening tone, making Letta nod slightly. After that, the waiter immediately brought more food and added it to Letta’s plate.

“Finish it. You have to gain weight so that people don’t look at you with pitiful eyes,” Marco said, this time changing his gaze to the people in front of him, making Letta just stay silent. When Marco deliberately pulled the dress Letta was wearing, his hand could directly touch Letta’s thigh, and that continued until Letta finished the food on her plate.

Letta understood the meaning behind Marco’s actions. Whether it was a threat so that she could behave according to expectations in front of his large family, or not. Until they finished their dinner event and moved to another room, Letta was pulled by Marco into the room.

Meanwhile, other young people who seemed to be not old enough to discuss their large family chose to play in the backyard. Some also played around the house. Letta just followed Marco and the man who was Marco’s cousin who had reprimanded Letta earlier.

“Isn’t our presence here not just for dinner?” asked a middle-aged man with a slightly stout body.

“Yes, you are right, because I don’t want you to just wait, harass me through emails, phone calls, text messages, and others. I want you to talk about what you want to say right in front of Marco. You know that all the Jovanka assets in my hands have been handed over to my son there, and it seems that my son is not that easy to deal with. And you also know very well, don’t you?” Edward said, looking proudly at Marco, who was now just looking at them with his flat and cold gaze.

“Is that so, but I should be able to compete with him,” the man replied, who for some reason often raised his voice to challenge Marco. It seemed that he was not too intimidated by Marco’s aura itself.

“Is that so? You have ambitions that are too far-reaching. You always want to fight, but in the end, I will be the winner,” Marco said, making everyone aware that the man, who was Marco’s cousin, was named Jacob.

“Come on, it can’t be compared to us fighting over the robot game when we were kids. This is about the Jovanka company’s assets. As far as I know, you don’t have the right to own all those assets, because there are still rights for me and others,” Jacob said, making Marco immediately stare at him harshly. It seemed that their conversation would not proceed as calmly as Letta imagined.
