Chapter: 1988
Curious, Brian turned to Rosalynn. "What good news?"
Rosalynn gently touched her belly and announced, “I'm pregnant."
His wife was pregnant!
Brian's gaze dropped to her belly in shock.
“Aren't you happy?" Rosalynn asked, studying his face.
Why didn't he say anything?
Brian snapped out of his daze and quickly said, "Of course, I am happy! Honey, our love has created something beautiful! I'm going to be a dad!"
Brian was overjoyed, yet he couldn't shake off a slight sense of regret.
His wife was pregnant, which meant they had to abstain from sex for months.
That was tough for him!
He concealed his disappointment and approached Rosalynn, gently placing his hand on her belly.
"When did you find out?" he inquired.
“I realized it today at lunchtime. When I ate the food you brought for me, the smell of fish made me nauseous. I checked my pulse and suspected my pregnancy. After work, I got it confirmed at the hospital," Rosalynn explained.
Brian's expression turned to concern. "You went to the hospital by yourself? Why didn't you tell me? I would have come with you."
Rosalynn was about to respond, but Noemi, sitting across from them, chimed in nonchalantly, “She wasn't alone. Lyndon was with her."
Upon hearing that, Brian's smile faded.
“Lyndon went with you?" he asked, a trace of suspicion in his voice.
Rosalynn exchanged a quick glance with Noemi. "I just happened to run into Lyndon near the hospital.”
Brian frowned slightly. “Really? What a coincidence." His tone was low and doubtful.
Rosalynn met his gaze, her lips pressed together in a tight Line.
