Neil sat up immediately and his eyes were staring back at his wife with a dazed expression. He suddenly recalled what they have been doing a while ago and his expression changed again. 

"Why didn't you say this earlier?" His voice was a little hoarse. A frown appeared on his face when he recalled how his wife had deliberately come into his study and seduced him.

Since she was aware that she was late for more than a week, why didn't she say anything and still come over to seduce him?

"Let's not panic." Edith pulled at his arms. "I might be wrong about this. It could be that I'm a little stressed up after everything that happened these past few weeks."

"Still, we need to be careful."

"I know." Edith tightened her grip on his arms and looked at him with her misty eyes. "But I just wanted to be with you."

When she thought of the chance that she might be pregnant, Edith was a little worried. Then, she thought about the possibility that he wouldn't want to touch her during their early pregnancy, and suddenly, she had this urge…

She browsed through a few sites and saw that it was safe to be intimate during early pregnancy. Edith then decided to jump on him for one last time before she goes to the pharmacy and bought a few pregnancy sticks. 

Neil looked at the woman in his embrace and he did not know whether he wanted to laugh or cry. At this time, she was staring back at him with an aggrieved expression. It was as if she was really afraid that he would scold her.

His wife was someone who would not be shy whenever she wanted to be intimate with him and he had liked her for it. He didn't expect that she would be like this…

However, he really could not get angry at her. Neil could only pinch at his wife's cheek to vent his frustration. Taking a deep breath, Neil then began to calm down. "Did you check yet?"

Edith shook her head. "I haven't. I heard the test would be more reliable if we wait for a while until my body builds more HCG."

Neil thought over the matter for a while and spoke again, "Let's go to the hospital and do a thorough checkup tomorrow."

…

The next morning, Sophie noticed that something doesn't seem right during breakfast. Her gaze went towards the couple across the table and she could not help but think that they were in an argument.

Usually, the couple would chat about a lot of things as they had their breakfast and her son would tease his wife when he thought that nobody was looking.

However, this morning, her son's expression was so stiff that Sophie thought that he was worthy to be called an iceblock. Meanwhile, her daughter-in-law lowered her head as she ate and she had this worried look on her face.

What happened? 

Last night before she left with Hazel to the unit next door, the couple was still acting lovey-dovey. Her son had bought his wife bags of clothes and they returned home with smiles on their faces.

The couple has been married for only a month, but they were already in an argument? What happened after she left?

Sophie exchanged a glance with her husband and heaved a sigh when she saw that he did not notice anything unusual about their son's temperament. Truly… men can be insensitive about this kind of thing.

Worried that something was going on between them, Sophie waited until Edith walked into the kitchen before she followed after her. "Edith, did something happened between you and Neil?"

Edith was stunned when she heard her mother-in-law's question. "No. Why?"

"If he bullied you, you can just tell me," Sophie said. She reached for Edith's hands and patted at them gently. "Mom will help you to get justice."

A faint smile curled on her lips. Edith hasn't entered the Mo family for a long time, but she noticed how well Sophie had treated her. Her mother-in-law knew that she grew up without a mother and she would try her best to treat her as her own daughter. 

Back then, Sophie had two sons and had always wanted to have a daughter. That was why she was especially happy when her sons took home her daughters-in-law for her.

Edith was quick to think about how they had behaved and knew the source of Sophie's worry.

"Mom, don't worry. There's nothing wrong."

"Then why do you two looked like you were quarreling?"

A giggle escaped her. "That's not it. You know well that the company will go through their annual auditing and Neil was a little worried about it. Meanwhile, I was thinking about the upcoming kindergarten activity."

Last night, they had agreed to keep the matter a secret until they were very sure that there was indeed something in her tummy. They did not want the grandparents to get a little excited and get disappointed later on.

Sophie narrowed her eyes as if she did not believe her daughter-in-law's words, but after a while, she decided to let them off. For now, Sophie decided to keep her eyes on the two.

…

To stop their family from suspecting something unusual, the couple has decided to visit the hospital after she got off work.

After the school ended and her students were all picked up by their parents or guardians, Edith went back to her classroom to pick up her bags. Once she walked out of the building, her gaze immediately found that familiar SUV parked not far away from the gate.

Edith adjusted her bag straps and walked over. 

Soon, the man stepped out of the vehicle and waited for her to approach. He helped her with the door before he slid back into the driver's seat. 

A tingle of laughter escaped her when Edith saw her husband's serious expression. 

Neil turned to his wife and pinched at her cheek. "You still laugh."

"Then, should I cry?" Edith watched as his gaze softened and she leaned forward to kiss his cheek. "Don't worry. Whatever it is, we should get a proper check-up first, right? Let's start worrying later after we know the result."

Neil heaved a sigh and drove straight to the hospital. Earlier, he had made an appointment with a doctor for a check-up and they did not have to wait long before Edith could see a doctor.

After the nurse had taken a few samples from her, Edith waited with Neil in the lounge until the doctor called them into the room.

The doctor read the report on her table before she looked up with a smile. "Congratulations.. You are pregnant."
