PREGNANT BUT REJECTED AS A BILLIONAIRE WIFE

Compared to Deasy, Lucas was the one who seemed most enthusiastic about heading to the hospital. He couldn’t wait to find out the results of today’s obstetric examination. Along the way, Lucas also thought about consulting with the doctor. He really wanted to ask about what he should do as a ready and vigilant expectant father.

From the beginning, he knew that Deasy was carrying his flesh and blood, and he was determined to be completely committed. He would do anything to care for, protect, and provide the best for their unborn child.

“Please step out, dear.”

Once they arrived at the hospital lobby, Lucas promptly got out of the car and opened the door for her. He reached for Deasy’s wrist without being asked, and then casually held her hand as he guided her slowly toward the obstetrics department.

“What? Dear? No need to be so formal, Luc. Who allowed you to call me ‘dear’?”

“Well, instead of calling you ‘Ms. Deasy’ or using other formal language, people might think something else. If I call you ‘dear,’ they’ll assume we’re husband and wife, right? Besides, I’m doing all this so Ms. Deasy doesn’t feel embarrassed. Not out of mischief or without reason. So, just accept it.”

Deasy was surprised by Lucas’s behavior. Even though it seemed simple, and she had received attention from him before, for some reason, this time it felt different. It was as if the “Act of Service” that Lucas was displaying had a strange effect on her.

As a beautiful woman who had been in relationships with several men before, none of them had acted as sweet and gentlemanly as Lucas.

Take Daniel, for example. He had never opened the car door for her, held her hand while walking together, let alone fed her or massaged her when she was tired. No, never. It was only Lucas who did these things.

Again, this was actually quite trivial. But because she was experiencing it for the first time, Deasy honestly felt her heart beating abnormally. No… it wasn’t a feeling of love. It was too early to conclude that. Deasy could be sure of that. But it was more of a feeling of surprise and unfamiliarity. Nevertheless, Deasy liked it.

“Are you thirsty? Would you like a drink?” Lucas asked as they waited in line to see the doctor.

Since she happened to be thirsty, Deasy nodded. At that moment, Lucas got up and went somewhere, but when he returned, he had a bottle of mineral water in his hand, which he promptly handed to Deasy.

After waiting for a while, they finally entered the obstetrician’s practice room. While Deasy was being examined, Lucas chose to observe every action and explanation the doctor provided. Among the many explanations, one of them caught his attention.

“The condition of the baby in Ms. Deasy’s womb is developing very well. So far, I haven’t found any problems or abnormalities. If you look at it and pay attention, the pregnancy is proceeding normally, as it should. However, I’m sure that during this first trimester, Ms. Deasy has been experiencing frequent nausea and vomiting.”

“Exactly, Doctor,” Deasy nodded. These past few days, she had been feeling quite unwell, often experiencing nausea and vomiting. It wasn’t like this before. “My sense of smell has become extremely sensitive. Sometimes, just the smell of food makes me feel nauseous and vomit until I feel weak.”

The doctor smiled and gently helped Deasy to get up. At the same time, Lucas, who had been sitting attentively, approached, offered his hand, and helped Deasy shift from the patient’s bed to a chair right beside him.

“Don’t worry, and don’t panic. What’s happening to Ms. Deasy is perfectly normal. In the second trimester, the nausea should gradually subside on its own. Besides these complaints, have you experienced anything else that might be bothersome?”

Deasy nodded. In this opportunity, she tried to make the most of the moment and time to discuss what often bothered her or what she felt.

“Lately, I’ve been experiencing frequent headaches and fatigue. Even my back and lower back often feel sore and painful.”

The doctor smiled, fully aware of what Deasy was complaining about. While writing a prescription for medication and vitamins, he explained what Deasy had mentioned earlier.

“Similar to nausea and vomiting, the complaints you’re experiencing, once again, are very normal during pregnancy. It’s not just headaches or fatigue; pregnant women usually also have difficulty sleeping or resting. But don’t worry. All of these will gradually diminish on their own. My suggestion is to try a light massage for ten or fifteen minutes before deciding to sleep. This will provide a comfortable feeling that can help you sleep soundly.”

“Okay, doctor. I’ll try that.”

“Any other complaints?” the doctor asked again.

“What about mood swings, doctor? Will they return to normal eventually? Sometimes, I feel like getting angry. But at other times, I often feel low.”

“Actually, at the end of the first trimester and as you approach the second trimester or mid-pregnancy, the mood of pregnant women also gradually improves. What’s more important, the desire for intimacy also enters a normal phase and even increases because the pregnant woman’s body responds better over time.”

“So, you mean in the next trimester, a pregnant woman’s sexual desire increases more than before?”

Surprisingly, it was Lucas who posed the question to the doctor. For some reason, this topic piqued his interest.

“That’s absolutely correct, sir,” the doctor responded seriously. “From the end of the first trimester into the second trimester and beyond, most pregnant women have a stronger desire for sexual intimacy. This happens because of an increase in estrogen hormone levels, which enhances blood flow in the genital area and makes it more sensitive, resulting in increased sexual arousal compared to before.”

“But inviting a pregnant woman to engage in sexual intercourse is not a problem, right, doctor?”

The doctor nodded immediately.

“Of course, it’s not a problem at all, as long as it’s done very carefully. That’s why, during pregnancy, it’s a good idea for the husband to treat his wife more gently, provide the best service, and prioritize the wife’s satisfaction first. Just don’t be surprised if in the near future, your wife asks to be pampered continuously. As a husband, be ready and maintain your stamina.”

Lucas smiled meaningfully. He quickly turned to Deasy, whose face turned red with embarrassment after hearing what he had discussed with the doctor just now.

Deasy was definitely embarrassed. How could Lucas ask such embarrassing questions? What’s wrong with her sexual desire? Besides, Lucas wasn’t planning to have sex with her, was he? Ugh, he’s unbelievable!

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Deasy retorted when she noticed Lucas still gazing at her with a teasing smile.

Lucas laughed suddenly. He shook his head and replied with a deliberately teasing tone.

“It’s okay, dear. I’ve just been imagining what the doctor said. I can’t wait to see how you’ll be after this.”

“Don’t exaggerate. I’m not going to ask for anything weird from you. It will never happen!”

“Oh, really? Let’s see together how it turns out.”

The doctor laughed, finding Lucas and Deasy’s expressions amusing.

“It’s okay, Ms. Deasy. Whatever happens to you in the near future, just accept it. It’s a phase. Moreover, it’s good if the sexual desire of one partner increases. It can enhance intimacy and marital harmony, right?”Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Oh my God, Doctor,” Deasy exclaimed with wide eyes right then. “Please stop this discussion. It makes me so uncomfortable.”

“It’s okay, dear,” Lucas said again. “From here on, I know what to do in the future. If you ever need something, don’t hesitate to ask for it first. Whenever that is, I promise I’ll be ready to please you. Don’t worry.”

“Lucas!”
