Words I Was Afraid To Hear

"How could you suggest that at such a time?!" Midori was irritated .

"But we never used protection . From the way we"re going, it wouldn"t be a surprise if there"s already a bun in the oven . " Dan flashed his smile even brighter .

"No . These turnovers of jobs are too stressful . It would not be good to have a baby right now . " She pushed his seductive face away and turned her back to him .

"If a baby is already on the way, will you abort it then?" He showed a worried expression why he caressed her lower abdomen .

She shot him a worried look . There was indeed a possibility . She had not had her period since the wedding . She really might be pregnant .

He smiled on seeing her expression . "Shall we reinforce it then?" He turned his smile into a provocative one and moved his eyebrows suggestively .

"Certainly not!" She moved her arms to protect her abdomen . "If there really is a bun in the oven, we cannot . . . "

He chuckled . "Of course we can . Even though I take pride on my . . . you know . . . it"s not gonna reach the womb . The baby will be fine since it"s swimming around . " He tucked stray locks behind her ear .

Midori furrowed her brows . Even though they had done it several times, she sometimes still wondered how she can "accommodate" such length and circ.u.mference when he gets a hard-on .

Then her thoughts went back to her possible pregnancy . The wedding made her so happy that she forgot all about it being a secret . If she goes back to City T soon, her mother will discover the pregnancy . She might get killed! "Wait, wait, wait! Midori Xiu, don"t jump into conclusions yet . There is no confirmed pregnancy yet . Right, right . . . " she contemplated then consoled herself in her mind .

Her expressions amused the smiling face just inches away from her . Dan did not dare interrupt her thoughts . He would not want to be the reason that she will make weird decisions if he breaks her thought chain .

As she nodded and pursed her lips while staring at the ceiling, he also noticed her fist slightly up, as if she was cheering for herself . She snapped back to her senses and noticed her antics .

She blushed as she realized that he was staring at her the whole time .

When she turned her head to look at him, he asked, "So, what did your angel and devil decide to do now?" His smile was teasing .

The following morning, Midori woke up finding the other side of the bed empty . As she reached for her phone at the bedside table, she grabbed hold of a thin rectangular box .

"One-step pregnancy test" was clearly printed on the box .

She chuckled . He was too excited to find out .

Last night, she told him that she will need to find out first if she is pregnant or not . Then they will figure out how to disclose it to important people as necessary . Abortion will not be an option . After all, they are married, so the child will be legitimate . Worse case would be that they needed to hide her and the child for some time for their safety .

She told him that she will get tested the next day, but it seems that CEO Zhou is too excited to become a father . "Did he buy this himself?" she thought . Then she giggled . "The great CEO Zhou bought a pregnancy test kit at the convenience store?"

As her thoughts flow, she frowned . "Did he make Mich.e.l.le buy this? If he did, she would really be pitiful . An unmarried girl buying this would have such a huge shame . I better go ask him!"

Midori"s hand had reached the doork.n.o.b when she paused . Looking at the box in her hand, she decided to check her morning void urine . She went to the bathroom and shut the door .

She read the instructions twice, carefully eying each word . When she felt that she can interpret it correctly based on the pictured results on the box, she took a deep breath and began the test .

.

Dan was busy frying some bacon and eggs in the kitchen . The blueberry pancakes were already done and were on the plates . He had a smile on his face like an idi*t .

As he placed the rest of breakfast on the table, he saw his wife barefooted, jogging towards the dining area .

She was holding the test stick with an inexplicable expression on her face .

Dan furrowed his brows as she did not speak . He was impatient . "Well?"
