Chapter 1040: Chapter 1020: Is She Really Pregnant?
"Eat up, eat up, everyone hurry up and eat!"
Ivy Aretha glanced at Chani Gordon, who was chattering nonstop, and couldn’t help but interrupt her; if she let her go on, who knew what earth-shattering things the girl might say next. Speaking of genetics, among these three children, Bella Gordon took after her, while Chani was the one who had inherited Michael Gordon’s personality, charming and domineering. As for their son, he was quiet and seemed a bit slow, as if he’d been picked up from somewhere, "Rio, if you dare to sit at the table with a face that looks like you’ve been abandoned by every woman in the world again..."
Rio Gordon: "..."
He hadn’t been abandoned by every woman in the world, just by one woman, and she was the one who had tangled with him!
"Mommy, don’t always look at me like I’m your enemy!"
Rio Gordon felt like he was going crazy. It was wrong not to date in university too, only he had forgotten that it wasn’t that he didn’t date; he had never dated before. In protest, Rio decided to bribe his sister, hurriedly placing one of Bianca’s favorite big prawns into her bowl, "Sis, this is for you, you absolutely have to save me. I just want to study well now and aim to complete my graduate and PhD studies in three years. Can you get Mommy to stop nagging me?"
"Rio Gordon, why are you reading so many books for? A graduate degree is fine, but try getting a PhD and see. A perfect handsome guy like you, determined to turn yourself into an old maid, Brat, are you trying to drive me to death? You..."
"Ugh..."
Ivy Aretha hadn’t finished speaking when she was interrupted by Bianca’s retching, directly caused by the smell of the boiled prawns. Bianca suddenly felt a sour sensation in her stomach and an intense nausea welled up in her, as though she was about to vomit the next moment. Instinctively, she covered her mouth with her hand, dropped her chopsticks with a clatter onto the table, and dashed to the closest bathroom to the restaurant.
Watching his sister’s hurried departure, Rio subconsciously took a prawn and put it in his mouth, then his eyebrows slowly furrowed, "It doesn’t taste fishy at all!"
"Bro, I bet you accidentally gave Sis the worst tasting prawn. If you make Sis’s belly hurt, Brother-in-law Roy will annihilate you..."
Belly?
After speaking, Chani seemed to realize something, her mouth wide open and frozen in shock. How could she be so stupid, only realizing it now? She should hurry and call Brother-in-law Roy to share the good news and ask for a money gift, but before Chani could even unlock her phone, Ivy Aretha called out to her.
"Chani, if you dare to ask your brother-in-law for a money gift over this matter, I’ll cut your allowance in half this month!"
Ivy Aretha truly was a mother, able to see through a woman’s little schemes at a glance. Chani was the typical spoiled rich girl from a wealthy family. In Michael Gordon’s words, the only thing that could get him excited enough to really work hard was having a daughter who squandered money; otherwise, even the meaning of making money would be lost!
But because of her daughter’s spendthrift ways, Ivy now had one more thing to amuse herself with—limiting her daughter’s use of money had become a major joy in her life.
"John, Chani, your mommy is right. This kind of good news should be shared by your sister with your brother-in-law personally. If you’re short on money, Daddy will give it to you, don’t use this as a means to extort your brother-in-law!"
"Long live Daddy!"
Ivy Aretha: "..."
With how this man was behaving, it was a wonder the woman turned out this way at all; he should consider himself a genius!
While the few of them were heatedly discussing, the man who was eating shrimp was still bewildered, only after a long while did he venture to say, "Are you saying that Sis is pregnant?"
Ivy Aretha: "..."
Michael Gordon: "..."
Chani Gordon: "Bro, if you don’t even have this much common sense, when Senna Leon comes back to the country, she’ll start despising you. She’ll look down on herself for having once liked someone with such a blockhead!"
Lacking common sense was one thing, but they had been discussing it for so long, and he still was clueless—what was that all about!
"Enough, Chani. All you need to make sure is that your little ’God’ understands you when you’re pregnant in the future. You’re not going to spend your life with your brother. When the girl he likes shows up, trust me, even a slight cough from her, and the sky will fall for him!"
CEO Gordon was the one with the most authority to talk about this. Before he had reunited with Ivy Aretha, he didn’t even know how many months it would be between a woman’s periods. But after meeting her, he remembered her schedule more accurately than she did herself. It seemed like common sense was something you started cramming only after meeting someone you truly cared about!
A slight cough causing the sky to fall?
What was that feeling like?
Rio Gordon’s mind began to wander, drifting to a memory of the time she, sick with a fever, had insisted on bringing him breakfast, desperately trying to please him. He vividly recalled how frantic he was then, fearing she might faint in front of him any moment. In his dad’s words, that was like the sky falling!
So, what he did was, he threw away the breakfast in her hand and immediately called 911. But his actions then deeply hurt the young lady. He heard from her classmates that she had cried for many days, especially after finding out that she had made breakfast herself very early in the morning!
Back then, he just thought she was foolish. He treated her so poorly, yet she still made breakfast for him despite being ill. Only now did he understand the profound love he had failed to appreciate!
Unfortunately, there’s no medicine for regret in this world. Now, all he could do was wait, wait for an eternity!
When Bella Gordon came back, Ivy Aretha was instructing the servants to replace the dishes on the table. For a moment, Bella was puzzled: "Mommy, I haven’t finished eating yet. What are you doing?"
"I’m replacing them with dishes that are more suitable for a pregnant woman!"
While directing the dish swap, Ivy casually answered her, leaving Bella Gordon dumbfounded. It took her a moment to react, "Mommy, are you saying I’m pregnant?"
Clearly inexperienced, Bella Gordon also wore a confused face before she started to piece together her recent reactions and let the news gradually sink in.
Nauseous?
Feeling queasy?
And the recent drowsiness?
Seems like her usually punctual period hadn’t arrived in a long while?
She was never in the habit of tracking her period. Roy Thompson had been getting up early and coming back late and seemed to have forgotten about it. His forgetting made her forget as well. With all these abnormal signs adding up, Bella Gordon’s first instinct after realizing was to turn and dash upstairs...
"Bella Gordon, you’re carrying a child, don’t run around like that!"
Ivy Aretha was shocked by her frantic actions and quickly commanded her son, "Rio, get your sister down here immediately. What nonsense is this!"
"Mommy, I’m just going to grab a pregnancy test to check, to confirm if I’m really pregnant!"
The surprise came too fast, a bit too much to take in. What if it was all just a joke?
