Chapter 1210
Ren saw them off enviously, while Charlotte clapped her hands. “Yay, double the fun!”
Angela muttered, “I’m not pregnant. I don’t need this checkup.”
“Remember the time when we were in the mountains? When we did it in the car?” Richard jogged her memory.
She blushed and blinked quickly. “That can’t be possible, right?”
“Never say never. Just get the checkup and see what’s happening.” He led her to a consultation room, and the doctor prescribed a pregnancy test for her.
Angela’s heart was thumping. She leaned against the chair and recalled what happened that day, which made her blush. Richard had taken her on a hiking trip out of the blue. The view was great, and Richard looked really hot, so she went in for a little thrill. He handed the test to her and persuaded gently, “Get tested.”
Angela went reluctantly. She wasn’t prepared to be a mother so soon, since she wanted some more alone time with Richard.
She was sitting on the toilet bowl, waiting for the results to come out. After the first red line made its appearance, she stared at the second line to see if it would show up. The light was dim, and she was a little short-sighted, so she didn’t notice the vague second line. She came back out happily.
The girl even washed the test and took it out with her just to prove that she wasn’t pregnant. Angela came out of the restroom and looked at Richard.
Angela narrowed her eyes. She wanted to tease him a little. “Guess what the result is.”
Well, she looks happy, so it’s negative then. No way she’d look so delighted otherwise. “Let me have a look.” Richard extended his hand.
“Here you go. There’s only one line.” Angela handed it to him happily.
Richard took it and had a look. His eyes widened in surprise. He had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn’t seeing the wrong thing. She said there’s only one line.But there are two here.
“Are you sure you looked at it seriously?”
“I did.” She nodded. He handed the test back to her. “I think you might wanna look at it again.”
Angela’s smile froze. She took it back and looked closely. “Wait. Two lines? I’m pregnant?”
Richard wrapped his arm around her shoulder and kissed her hair. “The baby’s on the way.”
Angela was amused and a little miffed. Gotta watch how wild I get next time, or I might get knocked up again. “Well, guess my folks are gonna be really happy then.” She changed her attitude.
The baby’s on its way, so I guess I’ll just roll with it. Richard’s heart went out for her. She’s scared of injections. Labor’sgonna be hell for her. “Wanna see if it’s a boy or a girl?”
“Nah. We’ll find out eventually.” He smiled. Angela just wanted to find out beforehand so she could buy the things her baby needed. But if Richard says okay, then it’s okay.
it’s They went back to the ward, and Richard announced the good news to Charlotte. Charlotte was over the moon as expected. She told Angela to sit beside her and gave her tips on how to get through the pregnancy.
At the same time, Scarlet and Walter were on their way to the Singeds’ place. Scarlet still had mixed emotions about it, but overall, they would be happy if this worked out.
Unbeknownst to them, the Singed household did not share their happiness. Ruka was lying on her bed, crying her heart out. Claire had locked herself up in her room as well. She still couldn’t get over it. She just thought her daughter shouldn’t ingratiate herself to the Hussons.
Things were grim in the Singed household. Robert was sleeping on the couch. He had no idea about the turmoil his wife and his daughter just went through. Claire locked herself up in her room and thought about how her daughter grew up. She just couldn’t figure out how her daughter became a shallow person who only cared about people with money and power.
