Chapter 1633 Sophia Seems To Sense Something
Back at the Imperial Garden, Sophia scrutinized Sally’s belly gently.
Ever since she was back from K Nation, she had been observing Sally’s eating habits. Surprisingly, she discovered that there was not even a single bit of change in Sally’s taste bud. Apart from that, her belly was flat as ever.
Sally, who was drinking milk on the arch-shaped sofa, sensed it and started to feel uneasy. She squeezed a smile and asked warily, “Grandma, what are you looking at?”
“I suddenly recall that when your mother-in-law and Aunt Sheila were pregnant last time, they both craved for certain types of food. I wonder why you don’t seem to have changes in your taste buds, and you’re still slim as ever. Could it be you lack nutrition? Should I find ways to increase your nutrients?” Sophia explained and continued to stare at her belly.
Sally felt a rush of restlessness. I’m not pregnant. Of course there won’t be any changes to my taste buds and belly!
“Grandma, I’ve enough consumption of nutrients. Don’t worry. I’m not lacking any.” She tried to convince Sophia.
“Are you craving any food? I’ll get the chef to prepare for you tomorrow,” Sophia asked again in great concern.
Sally replied hesitantly, “I-I’m craving spicy fish stew.”
Spicy? A saying came into Sophia’s mind at once. If a pregnant woman was craving sour food, the baby would be a boy. If she craved spicy food, then it would be a girl. Does that imply that Sally’s going to have a baby girl? Anyway, it doesn’t matter since this is their first child. They’ll have other babies again for sure. It’s just a matter of time for them to have a baby boy!
“Okay, I’ll ask the chef to prepare spicy fish stew for you tomorrow,” she told Sally excitedly.
“Thanks, Grandma.” Sally expressed her gratitude courteously.
“You don’t have to thank me. I’m more than happy because you’re bearing a child and thus building up the next generation for the Seet family. I’ll be even happier if you take great care of your health,” Sophia uttered gently.
A smile surfaced on Sally’s face, but it was not genuine. Me bearing a child and building up the next generation? I’m faking my pregnancy!
Right that instant, she could not resist feeling guilty for faking her pregnancy. Oh my! Grandma is taking such great care of me, but I’m lying to her!
Kyle stared at her in amusement, as though he was watching a show. This woman is faking a pregnancy and troubling Grandma to take care of her. I wonder how she’ll explain to Grandma if the secret is revealed one day!
Sensing Kyle’s meaningful gaze, Sally lowered her head in embarrassment.
She let out a deep sigh when she suddenly remembered that Evan and Nicole would be home the following day. My goodness! There are going to be two more pairs of eyes staring at me with great concern. I bet my life will be even more challenging then. I wonder how long my fake pregnancy can last!
“It’s quite late now. Kyle, accompany Sally to bed now. A pregnant woman must have proper rest,” Sophia advised Kyle.
“All right. Grandma, you should go to bed earlier too.” He stood up with Sally and headed back to their room.
Before Sophia was back, both of them used to stay in separate rooms. Nevertheless, she emphasized that Kyle should take great care of Sally in case the woman needed anything at night. Apart from that, she even mentioned that it did not matter for them to stay in the same room as Sally was already pregnant.
Juan also echoed by saying, “True indeed. Since you’ll have a baby soon, there’s no need to feel distant. What is there to be embarrassed about staying together in the same room?”
Furthermore, Skyler also advised Sally to stay together with Kyle for the sake of her status in the family. After all, she was Kyle’s wife, the spouse of the eldest heir for the Seet family in the future. If she did not stay in the same room with Kyle, the maids would look down on her too.
After pondering for a while, Sally finally decided to take Sophia’s advice and moved into Kyle’s room.
Surprisingly, Kyle did not seem to be repulsed when she suddenly moved into his room. Even so, Sally was unaware of how he felt, as he was usually devoid of expression. Nonetheless, they had both set a rule to take turns in sleeping on the bed and floor.
After they were back in the room, Sally looked at Kyle solemnly. “It’s my turn to sleep on the floor tonight. But do you mind letting me use the bathroom first? I’ll sleep right after the shower, and I promise I won’t take long in the bathroom.”
Kyle nodded approvingly after thinking for a while.
“Thank you.” Sally was over the moon and dashed toward the bathroom with her pajamas.
In the meantime, Kyle squinted as he recalled how Sally seemed to be bothered by her fake pregnancy and ended up mumbling every night. Apparently, she was worried sick about the consequence if anyone found out about it. This silly woman! There’s actually a solution for this. But why doesn’t she get the matter resolved in that way?
