The Hidden Wife Of The Cold CEO

Chapter 273 - Contractions

Jia Li sat in the children's park with her gaze on the children that came to play with their parents. while eating cotton candy.

She had a peaceful smile and Fu Hua noticed that. He felt at ease as she didn't seem to be nervous anymore. He didn't disturb her and let her watch the children playing happily.

When Jia Li finished the cotton candy, she asked for more. "Can I have another one?"

"Sure." Fu Hua replied without hesitating. "Don't go anywhere, I will be right back." He added and went off to buy the cotton candy for her.

When he left, Jia Li moved her gaze to her baby bump.. She caressed it with much love and her eyes turned teary. She covered her mouth and whimpered.

"Jasmine, you will be out soon, mum and dad have already prepared everything while waiting for you. We hope you will be obedient and don't stress me, come out quickly. We love you." Jia Li said in tears.

Then when she thought about her deceased parents, she cried even more. They didn't see her get married, they were absent during her graduation. When she gives birth, they won't see their grandchild and for whatever happens in her new life, they will never witness it.

Jia Li cried painfully for a short while before stopping. She wiped her tears right when she heard the footsteps approaching.

When Fu Hua came back, he saw Jia Li still sitting in the same position but something was different about her. She looked sad and her eyes were red and wet from crying.

He frowned and asked immediately as he sat beside her, "Why did you cry?"

"Nothing. Can I have the cotton candy?" Jia Li asked with a smile as she stretched her hand out.

Fu Hua handed the cotton candy to her while saying, "Don't hide anything from me, you can share whatever that's bothering you. Why did you cry when I left?"

"I spoke to our baby and I missed my parents." Jia Li replied.

Fu Hua sighed and hugged her shoulder. "You have me and the baby, don't be sad anymore, it breaks my heart."

"Do you know, I'm suddenly curious about my mother's family." Jia Li said in a soft tone.

"Do you need me to look for them?" Fu Hua asked with his gaze on her.

Jia Li squeezed his hand and said, "No need. I'm not ready to know who they are. I just want to live peacefully with you and our daughter, while pursuing my dreams."

"Okay, we will do just that." Fu Hua replied with a smile and kissed her cheeks.

"I want to take a walk before we go back home." Jia Li said.

Fu Hua granted her wishes and they walked for about 20 minutes before driving back home.

Jia Li had sumptuous food before summoning her pets to keep her company. Fu Hua didn't say anything and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

At that point, if she took her pets inside his bedroom, he wouldn't mind provided they don't climb his bed.

"Ocean, Jasmine will be out in a few days. Your puppies will have a playmate now and I'm sure they will love her as you love me." Jia Li said to Ocean with a smile.

Ocean glanced at her and didn't bark. She has long been instructed not to bark while inside the house. To show she agreed with what Jia Li said, she brought her face to her baby bump and sniffed it, before going back to lay on the fluffy rug.

Fu Hua who was sitting on another couch glanced over with a frown. "Are you trying to make my daughter follow your habits of playing with dogs?"

"Jasmine likes my pets already, she gets excited every time Avery and Archie get close to her." Jia Li reported.

Fu Hua was speechless. He glanced down and saw the puppies struggling to get into her arms. Actually, they were fighting for who would be in her arms.

Fu Hua was annoyed and moved his gaze away. He would have walked away but he couldn't do that. He needed to keep his eyes on her.

"I need to go to the workshop in an hour and you're coming with me." Fu Hua said and looked away from her.

Jia Li lifted Avery and whispered to her. "Somebody is jealous."

Fu Hua was jealous and so asked her to follow him to the workshop in an hour but he still gave her enough time to play with her pets since it made her happy.

Jia Li wanted to kiss Avery's head when she noticed Fu Hua's gaze on her. There were no emotions on his face, as he just sat there and gazed at her while waiting for her to kiss the puppy, so he could punish her.

Jia Li let Avery go and pat the heads of the two puppies with a smile. Just then, a painful contraction hit her and she frowned and instinctively put her hands below her abdomen.

Fu Hua rushed to her side and asked worriedly while holding her shoulder, "What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable? Should I call the doctor?"

"I'm fine. It's just the normal contractions." Jia Li replied as her nerves slowly relaxed.

"Are you sure? This one looks painful." Fu Hua said with a worried gaze.

"I'm fine. It's normal for the contractions to go from mild to intense. I need to use the bathroom ???? you can send them away." Jia Li said as she tried standing to her feet.

Fu Hua helped her up and walked beside her. "I will follow you." action

Jia Li couldn't protest when she saw his worried gaze. She allowed him to follow her.

Close to the stairs, Fu Hua saw a servant and instructed her to ask the caregiver to take Ocean and her puppies away.

When they got to the bedroom, Jia Li told Fu Hua to sit and wait in her bedroom, while she went into the inner room.

Jia Li took almost 10 minutes before she stepped out.

"What's going on? I almost came in now." Fu Hua asked.

"Don't be too worried about me. I'm fine. I had diarrhea." Jia Li replied and walked past him to sit on the bed.

She was wearing a knee-length dress and when she sat with her legs open because of the baby bump, her dress went up a little and Fu Hua could see her thighs but he wasn't interested. He was deeply worried about her.
