Seize His Little Wife

Snap!

The chopsticks in Christine White’s hand slipped to the ground, her whole body stunned, and it was only after a long time that she could barely find her voice, “Pregnant?”

“Yes ma’am, you didn’t have your period last month and you’re sleepy, you can’t be pregnant is what?” Aunt Lucy was excited.

Christine White dully touched up her belly, “I … I’m really pregnant?”

“How can this be false, it’s definitely there.” Aunt Lucy smiled without seeing her teeth, “No, such great good news, we have to tell Master and Mister quickly, they must be very happy when they know.”

With that, he grabbed the microphone of the landline and prepared to make a call.

Christine White hurriedly stopped her, “Aunt Lucy wait.”

“What is it ma’am?” Aunt Lucy looked at her in disbelief.

Christine White opened her mouth, “Better not call and tell them yet.”

“Why?”

“Because I don’t want them to be happy for nothing, what if I’m not pregnant? So it’s better to wait until you’re sure before you tell them.” Christine White rationalized.

Aunt Lucy did cry with joy the moment she said there was a possibility she could be pregnant.

But after the joy was over it calmed down.

Pregnancy is not something you can just say you’re pregnant, you still have to wait until you’ve had a checkup to find out, in case she really just had an upset stomach and wasn’t pregnant, wouldn’t that be a farce?Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

Aunt Lucy had also slowed down from her excitement at Christine White’s words, and her original urge to call the old man to tell him the good news was suddenly extinguished,

“Mistress has a point, why don’t I put you in touch with Dr. Norton for a diagnosis?” Aunt Lucy suggested.

Christine White shook her head, “Baird won’t let me near him.”

“And why is that?” Aunt Lucy froze.

Christine White shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t know, so don’t bother Dr. Norton, I’ll check with another doctor myself, just in case I’m really pregnant so I can surprise them.”

“Mistress is right, it’s time to surprise them.” Aunt Lucy couldn’t agree with her more.

Christine White let go of her stomach and prepared to bend over to pick up the chopsticks from the floor.

Aunt Lucy saw this and hurriedly stopped her, “Don’t move ma’am, I’ll do it.”

Aunt Lucy bent down to pick up the chopsticks, and didn’t forget to admonish her, “In the future, this kind of bending action, ma’am, you shouldn’t do it, in case you hurt the baby in your stomach.”

Christine White cried and laughed, “Aunt Lucy, it’s not such a stretch, I’m not necessarily pregnant yet.”

“That won’t do, what if you’re really pregnant.” Aunt Lucy helped her with a new pair of chopsticks.

Christine White took it, “Thanks Aunt Lucy.”

“It should be.” Aunt Lucy smiles cheerfully and turns to ask, “By the way ma’am, when are you planning to go for your checkup?”

“Just for a couple days.” Christine White continued to eat from her bowl.

Aunt Lucy was a little dissatisfied, “It’s better to get the diagnosis sooner rather than later, how about today?”

“Probably not today, I have an appointment today.” Christine White smiled apologetically.

Aunt Lucy tensed up, “Who’s the date to go to and will you be drinking?”

“It’s my best friend’s, she got a promotion and invited me to dinner, as far as drinking goes …” Christine White thought about it and shook her head down, “I’m not going to drink.”

“That’s good.” Aunt Lucy breathed a sigh of relief, “This is an extraordinary time, ma’am, you mustn’t drink alcohol, and you mustn’t eat some of the food either, if you do, you’ll have a miscarriage.”

Christine White’s heart skipped a beat as she listened, “Aunt Lucy, what could be so bad to eat?”

She’s going to have to pay attention.

Not sure if I’m pregnant yet though.

But what if you’re not sure you’re pregnant?

“A lot.” Aunt Lucy returned, “Let me start by telling you about some common ones that pregnant women can’t eat, like seafood …”

A midday was spent with Aunt Lucy popularizing pregnant women.

Christine White listened attentively, and some of the key points she made a point of jotting down on her cell phone.

Looking at the long list of pregnancy points recorded on her phone, she let out a long sigh.

She hadn’t even started going through the process of getting pregnant and she could already foresee how hard it would be when she got pregnant later on, not being able to eat this and not being able to touch that, it was so hard to get pregnant.

But all that hard work, it seemed, was nothing as long as one thought that the child one would carry was one’s and Baird Lane’s.

Thinking about this, Christine White once again touched her stomach and murmured, “Baby, I hope you’re really here in mommy’s tummy …”

“Don’t worry ma’am, you must be pregnant.” Aunt Lucy heard and hurriedly said.

Christine White tugged at the corner of her mouth, “I hope so, without further ado Aunt Lucy, I’m heading out the door.”

“Okay, ma’am be careful along the way, don’t bump into anything, and what I just said you shouldn’t eat, you mustn’t eat it.” Aunt Lucy instructed uneasily.

Christine White responded evenly, “I know.”

“Good to know, come on ma’am, I’ll walk you to the door.” Aunt Lucy lifted her bag.

Christine White had wanted to refuse, but looking at how careful Aunt Lucy was with her, she swallowed her refusal.

Leaving the villa, Christine White took a taxi directly to the neighborhood where Debby York lived.

It was the weekend, Debby York was out of work and still sleeping when she got a call from Christine White, “Who is it?”

“It’s me.” Christine White lost her smile.

Debby York yawned, “It’s Christine.”

“Well, I’ve been out and about and was going to come over to you, are you home?”

“What?” Debby York sobered instantly, “You’re out the door already?”

“Yeah, I thought we agreed to eat this afternoon.” Christine White said.

Debby York rubbed her hair, which was as messy as a chicken’s nest, “I got confused in my sleep and forgot for a second, where are you now?”

Christine White looked out the window of the car, “I’m in the car, I’ll be at your place in almost ten minutes or so.”

“Okay, I know, I’ll clean up then, just come right in when you get here, you have a key to my place.”

“Good.” Christine White answered.

Ten minutes or so later.

Christine White stood in front of a large door and pulled a key from her bag to unlock it.

“Debby .” She pushed her way in.

Debby York was still blow-drying her hair, “There you are, have a seat, it might be a while.”

“There’s no rush.” Christine White put her bag down and sat down, “Where’s aunt and uncle?”

“One played chess and one went square dancing.” Debby York skimmed back.

Christine White covered her lips with a smile, “Auntie and Uncle are pretty laid back.”

“That’s true, it’s a lot more dashing than our lives.” Debby York seconded.

Christine White poured herself a glass of water, “Is it just the two of us for dinner today?”

“Yeah, I’ve got a birthday coming up and I’ve got a lot of money to spend, so I’ll just treat you to one and economize.” Debby York said meatily.

Christine White cried and laughed, “It’s your aunt and uncle who are paying for your birthday, why do you look so distressed?”

“You don’t understand, my parents’ money is also my money, can I not feel bad about that.” Debby York sighs.

A hint of envy crossed Christine White’s eyes, “That’s nice.”

The harmony of Debby York’s family and the way Debby York’s parents doted on Debby York were the things that made her wish for the most but could not get.

She had always wondered why some parents, who were also parents, could not wait to give everything to their children, while others, who did not love their children in the slightest, still took endlessly from them.

Unfortunately, her parents were the latter! If she had children, she would definitely not be as patriarchal as her own parents, and boys and girls would be her babies.

Thinking about this, Christine White had already decided in her mind to go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup.

She couldn’t wait to find out if she was pregnant or not.

“Christine, what are you thinking?” Debby York reached out and waved her hand in front of Christine White’s face, “I called you twice and you didn’t respond.”

Christine White snapped back, “Not thinking, what’s wrong?”
