The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife

Chapter 246 Silly Boy

Julian Shaw thought that something bad had happened and even his gaze changed.

However, Susie appeared to have a stern, serious expression. He did not have the courage to speak rashly so he could only wait anxiously.

She was still acting fine earlier. Did something happen all of a sudden? © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Was Susie feeling unwell?

Or was there something wrong with the baby?

All sorts of speculations flashed past Julian’s mind such that his forehead was smeared with sweat.

"It’s real. I felt it alright.” Susan Shelby was quiet for a moment before she suddenly spoke in excitement.

"What felt alright?" Julian was rather confused.

"It's the baby. It moved earlier." Susan's expression was filled with excitement. 1

It was a moment ago when she felt the baby in her belly kick her.

The feeling was not very obvious. Susan experienced the feeling quietly and found that the little fellow had just kicked her again.

Even though it was very light, Susan could genuinely feel the kick this time. It was precisely a fetal

movement.

"The baby moved?” Julian was dumbstruck with bewilderment.

"Hmm, he kicked me.” Susan cracked into a joyous smile. She placed Julian’s hand gently on her belly then said softly, "Wait, it's possible that he will move again.”

Julian did not have the courage to move the hand that was placed on Susan's belly. The expression on his face was stern beyond comparison. If someone who had no idea what was happening, the person would think that he had encountered the most difficult problem.

Julian waited for a few minutes quietly. All of a sudden, a small bulge appeared on Susan's belly for a moment. 1

"Did you feel it?” Susan could not help asking.

"I... I felt it..." Julian looked at his palm, dumbfounded.

His baby moved once earlier!

He had also engaged in an interaction with the baby for the first time in his life.

"Snap." Susan picked up her phone and took a photo o f Julian's grin.

Susan stuck out her tongue. "You were smiling like a silly boy earlier. A photo like this must be kept as a memento.”

"You're..." Julian was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. After a while, he placed his hand on her belly gently once again then he chattered to the belly," Baby, move again, move again."

Susan's belly was still.

"Move again, just once.” Julian was recalcitrant so he continued to chatter incessantly.

Susan could not help rolling her eyes. "Stop messing around, the baby needs to rest too."

"Alright," Julian answered unwillingly. After a while, h e could not refrain himself from leaning closer again.

This time, he laid his head sideways cautiously on Susan's belly in an attempt to listen to the baby's movements.

Julian devoted his whole self to listen. Susan could not help looking at him, feeling amused. "Can you hear anything?"

"Yes!" answered Julian in all apparent seriousness.

Susan was astonished by his answer. "What did you hear?"

The baby was not moving though.

"I can hear that...you're hungry." Julian said in all apparent seriousness, "Your tummy is growling."

Susan was speechless,"..."

She rubbed her chin and said, "I really am a little

hungry."

For the first trimester, she could not keep anything down as she constantly vomited what she ate. After the first trimester, her appetite was suddenly much better. She was hungry at all times and she had already gained half a kilogram in a week.

"I shall go downstairs to make you some pasta," said Julian affectionately.

In order to cope with Susan's great appetite that rendered her hungry for food at all times, Julian had already learned how to cook some simple meals by now.

"Alright,” Julian replied to her with a sweet smile. 1

Half an hour later, Julian returned with two bowls of pasta on a tray.

They finished the pasta swiftly. Susan rubbed her round, plump tummy and could not help exclaiming," Do you think I'll turn into a pig when I'm about to give birth to the baby if my appetite continues to develop i n this manner?"

"Even if you turn into a pig, you're going to be the most adorable pig," consoled Julian.

"Still a pig though!" Susan glared at Julian. "Julian, have you started to feel that I'm getting too fat already?"

"Why would I? I've always found you too skinny." "Julian, you're a hypocrite. How can you bear to utter a

lie like this."

Julian was rendered speechless and he had the urge t o seek guidance from God. 'Woman, what kind of creature are you...’

Despite being rendered speechless, he still had to appease his wife. Hence, Julian began to engage in a serious discussion with Susan on the topic of whether she was fat or not.

Julian was forced to cede territory, pay indemnities, and sign off all sorts of inequality treaties before Susan let him off.

Ever since the first fetal movement, Julian found a new amusement, which was to lie on Susan's tummy t o listen to the baby's movements.

Every time the baby moved, he would crack into his signature silly boy smile that made Susan tease him.

Their exciting yet homey honeymoon trip ended officially one week later. They returned to Ningcheng City. Even though Julian was very unwilling, he still needed to get busy with the work in the company.

He used to engage in social activities frequently at night in the past. Now, he would turn down all the night events and returned home to accompany Susan and the baby wholeheartedly.

They watched over the little fetus’s growth together and found it to be very miraculous.

Susan was resting at home one day when Seth Leeds and Jacob came over to the house.

"Susan, do you have food? We haven't had lunch yet," called out Seth aloud.

Susan was stunned for a moment. She hastily said," You haven't had lunch yet? There's only some uncooked pasta left from lunch. I shall ask Mama Jean to prepare something for you."

“Oh oh oh, no need, no need. Just heat up the leftover pasta. I'm so hungry that I just can’t stand it anymore." Seth stuck out his tongue like a puppy with a gluttonous expression.

Susan could not help laughing in spite of herself." Sure, have it to fill your tummy first."

Two bowls of steaming pasta were heated up casually and served.

Seth ate like his usual style...unrestrained.

Even Jacob was moving his fork faster than usual.

Susan was dumbstruck with bewilderment. "Slow down, slow down."

"What’s going on here? Have you not eaten in three days?"

"I thought we hired a chef to cook for you?" Susan asked while she watched the two people munching the food. They were too preoccupied to reply to her.

Susan could only wait for them to finish their meals before they talked more.

Seth and Jacob each consumed two bowls of pasta before they stopped.

Seth laid on the sofa and retrieved an invitation card from his pocket while he burped. "Susan, this is for you and your spouse.”

For me and my spouse?

Susan took a look at the invitation and she was immediately overjoyed.

The invitation card stated:

'Ms. Susan Shelby and spouse, you're cordially invited to attend the launch of the SL phone system.’

"Just come as you like by then, Susan. Julian is just a plus one, he’s indispensable." Seth was psyched and proud of himself for grilling Julian.
