The doctor looked at Ashley and said with a smile, "Congratulations! You are two months pregnant. You
have a stomachache because you have been exercising a lot recently."
The doctor then reminded her, "Don't forget that in the first trimester of pregnancy, the baby in your
belly is not in a stable condition. You should not do intense exercises."
'Thank God, my baby was not hurt, '
Ashley thought to herself after hearing what the doctor said. Feeling scared, she wanted to forget
everything that happened last night.
She felt relieved that the baby was safe and sound.
"Andy, we have a new baby,"
Ashley said as she looked at Andrew beside her.
Joy and happiness were written all over her face.
She patted her belly gently, her eyes were full of anticipation.
Meanwhile, Andrew looked much calmer. There was, however a slight frown on his face.
They already had Richard and Fabio. He didn't want any more children, so he always used
contraceptives every time they made love. Why did Ashley get pregnant? The two boys were already
pestering Ashley a lot every day.
Now there would be an additional baby soon.
Oh, no. Not only three but four. Dany was also their daughter. If they brought her back home, Ashley
would be surrounded by four children. It might sound selfish, but Andrew couldn't help thinking about
his private time with Ashley. If the children took up too much of her time, she wouldn't have enough
time left for him anymore. With this thought, Andrew felt a little upset.
He looked at Ashley's belly coldly.
But Ashley was too happy to notice Andrew's indifference towards her pregnancy.
The smile on her face didn't disappear. Her pregnancy was such a big surprise because she knew that
Andrew had always used contraceptives. She was so excited to have another baby in their house soon.
Ashley's face suddenly flushed when she recalled what happened in Andrew's office one day. He must
have forgotten to use contraceptives. No wonder she got pregnant.
After checking on Ashley and giving some reminders, the doctor left. Now, there were only Ashley and
Andrew in the ward.
It was only then that Ashley noticed Andrew's gloomy expression. She couldn't help worrying, so she
gently pulled his sleeve and asked, "Andy, what's wrong?"
Andrew didn't reply. He just stared at her belly coldly.
Looking at his cold face, Ashley was concerned.
She knew that Andrew didn't like Richard and Fabio that much, so she couldn't help thinking that he
might also not like the baby in her belly.
"Andy, whatever it is that you're thinking against my baby right now, stop it. You can't do anything to my
baby. It is mine, and I will definitely give birth to it. Don't even think of taking it away," Ashley warned
Andrew as she covered her belly warily with her hand.
This time, she looked at him angrily.
"If you have another baby, you will not have time for me anymore. You will ignore me already," Andrew
admitted as he lowered his head dejectedly.
Also, his voice sounded a little aggrieved, which made Ashley confused.
All of a sudden, Andrew squatted beside her bed and buried his head in the quilt.
Ashley could only see his silky black hair now. It looked so soft that she wanted to caress it.
She was amused by Andrew's explanation. He was like a child who wanted all his mother's attention.
She stretched out her hand and rubbed his hair gently.
"Andy, what makes you think of that? Even if we have another child, you are still the most important
man in my heart.
Besides, this baby is a symbol of our love. If I don't love you, how could I love our baby?
Do you know why I love our children so much? That's because I love you so much too."
That was the sweetest thing that Ashley had ever said to Andrew.
After spending so many years with him, she already knew that he lacked a sense of security.
Every time she neglected him, or she gave too much attention to the children, he would get jealous and
even angry.
At times, Ashley felt that she had three kids at home, and Andrew was the eldest. Every day, she had
to take care of them and make them happy.
"Really?" Andrew raised his head and asked. His gloomy expression was instantly replaced with
happiness.
"Of course! If I don't love you that much, why would I give birth to your child?" Ashley replied with a
nod.
She rubbed Andrew's head again and added, "Please don't say those things again. We are a husband
and wife. This is our baby.
Touch it. Don't you feel happy that it is the fruit of our love?"
Ashley held Andrew's hand and put it on her belly. She then looked into his eyes passionately.
While his hand was on Ashley's belly, Andrew remembered that he wasn't around, the first time she got
pregnant.
So he couldn't feel anything different now.
Andrew wanted to tell Ashley that he couldn't fell anything different. But when he saw the expectant
look on her face, he nodded his head and said, "Um!"
Ashley put on a big smile and said proudly, "It's your baby. If it's a boy like Fabio, I'm sure that he will
be like you."
Looking at her delighted face, Andrew chose not to say anything to disappoint Ashley.
As long as Ashley cared about him the most, he would be fine.
Andrew's mood lightened up this time.
He rested his head on Ashley's belly
gently and carefully.
He didn't want to disturb the baby.
Ashley continued to caress Andrew's head. After a while, he fell asleep.
Ashley looked at Andrew affectionately. She knew that he didn't sleep well last night.
She could understand why he easily fell asleep now.
A nurse was about to come in to give Ashley some instructions. But when she saw the scene at the
door, she stopped, not wanting to interrupt.
With a ray of sunshine that shone on Ashley and Andrew, they looked so romantic. It was such a sight
to behold.
