“He was not at the office last night?”

“No. He was in the study the whole night. He only came down when breakfast was ready,” she added.

I stared at the doorway, knitted my brows, and sighed. Men behave like children sometimes and will go

out of their way to spite others.

Who would believe Mr. Ashton Fuller has this childish side of him? Unfortunately, he simply could not

stay rational if the matter was about Marcus.

I left Mrs. Eriksen to her chores and fished out my phone to message Ashton. Get some sleep when you

reach the office. No matter how busy you are, you need to get some rest.

I paused, then added, Professor Zidd said so. I did not want to show I was concerned.

I was amused by my own draft message.

Ashton and I were two peas in a pod. Both of us were stubborn and prideful, unable to let go of our egos

even in the face of love. Ashton may be petty about matters concerning Marcus, but I knew he was a

man of his words. If he promised he would help Marcus, he would honor that promise.

Even though we did not make any special efforts to reconcile after the quarrel, Ashton still picked me up

for my pregnancy test appointment.

I was sure I conceived, but it would be reassuring to have a proper confirmation from the doctor, hence

the pregnancy test appointment.

Ashton’s phone rang a couple of times while we were waiting for the test results. He did not pick the calls

out of respect for Professor Zidd. He excused himself to answer the call in a far corner only when

Professor Zidd urged him to

The nurse brought my test results. As expected, I had successfully conceived, and our baby had

developed in my womb.

Professor Zidd was happy for us, but he also had to fill me in on the possible complications in pregnancy.

I was in the early stage of pregnancy, so I had to be more careful as there would be a higher risk of

miscarriage during the first two months of pregnancy.

I thanked Professor Zidd and left his office with the test results in hand. I could not help but smile while

looking at the ultrasound image.

That was probably the only good news we had in a while.

“My dear!”

Rose surprised me. I had to take a deep breath to recover from the shock before I could speak. “You are

here for your prenatal tests again? Nick is not here with you?”

“He is too busy. I couldn’t bear to stress him further, so I did not tell him about my appointment today.”

Rose defended Nick, smiling contentedly as she caressed her belly. “It is just one of those routine tests I

had to do a few times every month. I am not that finicky to make him come with me every single time.”

I looked in the direction of Ashton. Unless he was overseas, he had always made it a point to

accompany me on my medical appointments. Honestly, he’s a gem.

Rose had been through many prenatal tests, so she was familiar with those test slips. She yelped when

she saw the ultrasound image in my hand. “My dear, you are pregnant!”

I was pretty composed until then, but her joy was contagious. I couldn’t conceal my smile and nodded

vigorously, “Yes, I am.”

“Really? That is wonderful!” Rose came over and held my hands. She was visibly emotional. “Who

knows? Maybe our children will be born on the same day! They can grow up to be like sisters!”

Rose was obsessed with having a daughter. She projected her ardent wish for a daughter to everyone

else.

I grinned and kept quiet. Rose did not know Ashton came with me, so she led me towards the elevator

as she chattered. “My dear, in the future, we can come for our prenatal tests together. If we keep each

other company, Ashton gets to take a breather. I heard Fuller Corporation bought over an overseas

automation company. In addition, they are acquiring the White Corporation. He must be stretched, so we

shall not add to the men’s burden. We can come with a few bodyguards who can help us with the heavy

bags.”
