Chapter 869: Chapter 848 Another One Pregnant!

Ariana Hunt hastily covered her mouth and got up, heading directly toward the bathroom without even having the chance to say goodbye.

"Adam, look at you, the words you speak are so clearly against your intentions— even your wife was disgusted to the point of vomiting!"

Adam: "..."

Was it really that disgusting?

Weren’t those lovey-dovey vows of eternal love?

In a second, two seconds, still the same, Adam suddenly reacted!

"Wife, what’s wrong with you? Where do you feel uncomfortable?" Adam was so scared that he threw down the cards in his hands and ran after Ariana Hunt, "Slow down, let Lucas Sandy take a look, where do you feel unwell?"

Everyone: "..."

"Could it be that Ariana Hunt is pregnant?"

It took a while before Michael Gordon spoke with disbelief, "She still has a New Year movie in her hands, getting pregnant at this time would force me to replace the female lead, it’s halfway done—this loss would be at least 5 million!"

With that said, Michael Gordon shook his head decisively: "It should just be a bad belly, Adam probably isn’t that accomplished, to get his wife pregnant so quickly!"

So his 5 million should still be safe, right?

"Husband, at this time, don’t hold out hope for your 5 million!" While Michael Gordon was still hopeful about his USD, Ivy Aretha decisively interrupted his fantasy, "Just think with your rear, and you’ll know Ariana is pregnant!"

Michael Gordon: "..."

Can he say he doesn’t have a rear?

million, even without a rear, is a nice thing to think about!

"Eek, husband, I’m not even worried as the boss, what are you in such a hurry for, our family isn’t lacking that 5 million!"

Ivy suddenly remembered this point, "Don’t tell me you’re short on personal money, huh!"

Hearing this, Mr. Gordon immediately stated his case to clear his name, as it was indeed a shame for a grown man to require personal money today; naturally, all the money should be handed over to his wife!

"Wife, haven’t you heard the old Chinese saying, ’The Emperor isn’t in a hurry but the eunuch is’?" Michael Gordon hurriedly placated his wife, "You have the life of an Emperor, I’m just the eunuch trying to control the wind and rain. If I don’t do well as a eunuch and the treasury isn’t full, and the Emperor doesn’t get to splurge, I’ll be fired!"

These days, it’s really tough being a eunuch!

Ivy Aretha: "..."

She could be the Emperor, but him as a eunuch?

"Alright, young Michael, since you’re a eunuch now, you can forget about rolling in the bed sheets tonight, and hurry up to fetch my tiles for me to flip!"

Michael Gordon: "..."

Everyone: "..."

When Ariana Hunt was brought back by Adam, the whole place had erupted into laughter, making the clueless Ariana feel too embarrassed to face so many bare, laughing eyes.

Seeing Ariana Hunt, someone remembered his 5 million, and so Adam was set up.

"Adam, the 5 million I lost will be deducted from your salary!"

"Why?" Adam was instantly dumbfounded, merely accompanying his wife to the bathroom and they were going to deduct 5 million from his salary? "Boss, why? I’ve got a wife to support, how can you deduct my salary just like that!"

"Adam, it’s because of your wife that your salary is being deducted!" Ivy laughed so hard that even her caesarean section scar hurt, "You thought being a dad is so easy? Now that your Ariana is pregnant, Mr. Gordon’s new film has to replace the main actress, and with that replacement, the loss is 5 million! Deducting your salary is already letting you off easy, we haven’t even asked for compensation yet!"

Adam: "..."

"Sis-in-law, you can’t..." Before he could even finish the sentence, Adam was completely startled, "Wait, sis-in-law, what did you just say about someone being pregnant, who’s going to be a father?"

Adam was so excited he ended up asking Ivy Aretha instead of the person next to him.

"Of course, it’s your wife who’s pregnant, you’re going to be a father!" Ivy Aretha was at her wit’s end. She had followed a woman who was being sick all over the place, only to find he still knew nothing, "Nolan Stones, don’t tell me you thought your wife throwing up her guts was just because she ate something bad? The bed sheet rolling up is not a big deal, but the fact that your own child might be ’rolling out’ and you feel nothing!"

"You mean... Ariana is pregnant?"

"Cough cough..."

Now, Lucas Sandy was unsettled. What happened to the pregnancy competition? Back then, he was so confident, saying someone else could not make it happen, yet now their child was already ’rolling out’, while his woman just got her period this morning!

"Wife, are you pregnant?"

Adam shook Ariana Hunt vigorously like a man who had suddenly lost his mind, overwhelmed by such an unexpected joy that he nearly lost all his reason.

"Ugh!"

He was greeted with another bout of nausea, and only then did Adam realize he had done something foolish.

"I’m a scoundrel, I was wrong!" Pulling away his hands, Adam slapped himself hard, "Wife, are you really pregnant, am I really going to be a father?"

After saying that, he jumped up from the ground and roared, I’m going to be a father!

"Adam, you bought that fatherhood for 50 million USD!"

Mr. Gordon kept thinking about that investment. As a money-making machine for his wife, he was quite conscious about it – after all, a machine that doesn’t make money isn’t a good machine!

"No problem, as long as I get to be a father, not to mention 50 million USD, you could take me instead!"

Michael Gordon: "..."

Wasn’t it him who exchanged his place for that?

Mr. Gordon truly felt that this man was being foolishly happy!

"He really is a fool with a foolish blessing, such a fool being granted a Goddess for a wife and now she’s having his child!"

Ivy Aretha: "With your luck, I’ll give birth to three kids in one go, then you’ll be even sillier than Adam!"

Michael Gordon: "..."

Wife, are you really that happy with a foolish husband?

Their banter made Ariana Hunt a bit embarrassed.

"Uh... Mr. Gordon, about the New Year’s film, I’ll try to cope as best as I can. The reactions right now aren’t too severe, so there shouldn’t be a problem!"

Ariana Hunt understood better than anyone that a problem with the leading actress at this time would mean a huge loss for the company. Changing the female lead meant that many scenes would have to be re-shot. The high-quality production that was half confirmed would cost at least 50 million USD as a conservative estimate, probably at least 10 million USD!

Moreover, she was personally nurtured by Michael Gordon. The completion of this film was not just a simple matter of money. It was about gratitude. Even though she was pregnant, Ariana Hunt believed that if the pace was slowed down a bit and she took care of herself, and used a stunt double for the dangerous parts, they should still be able to manage!

"Let’s not do that. Adam finally managed to have a son, and if something goes wrong with you, it’s not just a matter of him demanding 50 million USD in compensation, he’d probably curse me to never get it up again every day!"

Michael Gordon was only joking. How could he actually let a pregnant woman continue filming, especially since the first three months are the riskiest period? He had even been worried about Ivy Aretha walking, let alone acting. His wife was his wife, and someone else’s wife was naturally also a wife!

"Uh, Mr. Gordon, how about this – I haven’t filmed in a long time, and I’m getting bored at home. I could take over the unfinished parts from Ariana. If I get the makeup right, there should still be some effect!"

No sooner had Michael Gordon spoken than Lina Miller chimed in, "I won’t charge an appearance fee, what do you think?"
