The next moment, Anastasia covered her mouth and bent over as she felt like puking.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” Elliot bent down and hugged her.
“I just feel nauseous all of a sudden.” She was feeling unwell.
The nauseousness came back again after she took a few more steps. She felt dispirited since she
didn’t know what was wrong with her body.
When he noticed that, Elliot brought her back to their room and poured some warm water for her. She
lay on the couch after finishing the drink since she felt uncomfortable.
Then, Anastasia started retracing what she had eaten or done the past few days. Besides constantly
feeling tired, she didn’t seem to have eaten anything wrong.
Suddenly, something came to her mind as she immediately sat up and stared at Elliot.
Elliot seemed startled by her reaction and asked, “What’s wrong?” “Do you think we’ve hit the jackpot?”
She immediately got down from the couch and walked toward the cupboard. She was searching for
something in her pouch.
“What are you looking for?” Elliot walked toward her and asked.
“This. I’ll go and take a test.” She took out a box and showed it to him.
After she went into the washroom, Elliot had mixed feelings about having a second child. Although he
wanted another child, when he thought of the discomfort that Anastasia would have to go through, he
was happy just to have Jared.
Meanwhile, Anastasia was standing next to the sink while checking the results, and she was overjoyed
when she saw the two red lines that appeared. She was finally pregnant with her second child, and she
hoped that it would be a daughter.
When she got out of the bathroom, she teased Elliot and pretended to look disappointed. “It’s not,” she
said.
Hearing that, he seemed relieved and hugged her as he smiled. “That’s good. If you really are
pregnant, it would bring you a lot of pregnancy related discomfort.”
“What? Don’t you want a daughter?” Anastasia was surprised by his words.
“If it means that you have to go through the discomfort, I’d rather we just have Jared.” He looked down
and kissed her forehead. “I have no regrets.”
“I really want another child, and it’s here, though.” Anastasia laughed and hugged him.
“Really?” He looked at her in surprise.
“Mmhm! That’s why I’m letting you know in advance. Get ready to abstain!”
Elliot was surprised and happy at the news. He then hugged her and sighed. “Thank you for carrying
our child. I hope that you have a smooth pregnancy.”
However, Anastasia really looked forward to it as she knew that the baby would be the happiest baby
when she was born because she would have a loving father and brother. She imagined that the baby
would be adorable like an angel.
“Since I’m pregnant, let’s go home after attending Sophia’s wedding so that I can get some rest.” Her
focus was now on the baby.
“Sure!” Elliot kissed her..
Under the night sky, the road was empty since it was a private road. Arthur brought Sophia out for a
drive in his convertible sports car. Since he wasn’t speeding, it felt nice as the gentle breeze brushed
across their faces.
When they reached a viewing deck, they were surrounded by wildflowers as they gazed at the sea in
front of them. The sky was full of stars, and a floral scent filled the air. The ambience was pleasant and
romantic.
Sophia took a deep inhale as she felt that she was surrounded by happiness.
“Is it pretty?” Arthur smiled. He wanted to share the best things within the family with the woman he
loved.
“Yes! The scene looks just like a painting.” She nodded and had her attention on his face. His good
looking features were prominent under the moonlight, and it mesmerized her more than the view.
That was the case for Arthur too, for she was the thing that he found most beautiful.
Under the moonlight, Arthur grabbed her by the waist and she hugged his neck as they leaned in for a
passionate kiss.
