The woman stopped at the door and looked inside. She was so embarrassed that she could not make a sound.

Was she blind, or was Stefan mad?

In the middle of the night, he didn’t go to sleep with his wife but stayed here to do exercises.

Riya had been living here for a few days and had come to this villa many times before, but she did not find such a small room full of fitness equipment...

It was because Stefan hid it too well. She always thought that this was just a room for sundry goods.

Riya didn’t expect that this man would do such a thing secretly.

She was so...

Riya could not help but burst out laughing.

It was not funny for a man to do exercises, but when she found that he was doing it secretly, she just wanted to laugh.

"Stefan, you ... you actually are doing exercises here."

And if she wasn’t mistaken, he was doing push-ups.

By doing so, he was practicing...

Riya realized something.

This man was really so funny.

Stefan was stunned for a moment. He looked at Riya, who was laughing so hard at the door that she couldn’t stand straight, and immediately stood up.

On his serious face, there was a rare trace of panic and bewilderment.

"This is just..."

As he spoke, he walked to Riya and took her out, and strode towards the bedroom.

Riya looked at his hurried face and then looked at the door behind him that had been closed. She could not help but laugh loudly.

It was the first time that she had seen this man, as a president, secretly doing push-ups so seriously.

As soon as Riya thought about how he looked just now, she guessed that she could never forget such a funny moment.

In the bedroom.

Stefan closed the door.

Riya couldn’t help but fall on the bed and laugh again.

If it wasn’t because she was pregnant and couldn’t be too excited, she really would laugh out loud.

It was really ... too funny.

When she thought of the man doing exercises secretly in the room, she guessed that there wouldn’t be anything more interesting.

Doing exercises to keep fit was a normal thing, but when it came to Stefan, it was just so funny.

The man leaned over and placed his hands beside her ears. He said in a low voice, "Don’t laugh."

Riya covered her mouth and nodded at the man’s gloomy face.

Then she couldn’t hold back and continued to laugh.

She was really so happy that there were even some tears in her eyes.

The man’s handsome face was so cold at this moment, and there was a hint of annoyance in his eyes.

Seeing the woman laughing so happily, he hugged her and said in a deep voice, "If you want to laugh, laugh."

She originally thought it was funny and couldn’t help it.

When she suddenly heard Stefan’s words, Riya felt that it was not so funny.

She actually didn’t want to laugh.

She nudged the man on her and whispered, "Get up."

"No way. You’re laughing at me."

This man was complaining like a child, not at all like a stable and ice-cold president.

Riya pursed her lips and whispered, "I’m not laughing anymore."

However, the man did not move. He still buried his face in her neck and let his breath hit her skin.

They just kept this position for a while.

Only then did Stefan’s voice slowly come over. He was actually a bit cautious, "Are you looking down on me?"

He thought that it was all due to her.

They two had grown up together, but she just didn’t pay attention to him.

He had tried many methods, but they had never worked on her. When he was 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

anxious, of course, he had to choose some other ways...

Riya held back her laughter and pushed him, "No, I’m just curious. What are you doing exercises secretly at home? You actually bought so much fitness equipment."

Why didn’t he wait for her on the bed? Why did he have to do it at home in this way?

"It’s not me who bought it."

The man still buried his face in her neck, and his voice was still very serious and stiff.

But Riya could tell that he wasn’t really sincere.

"If you didn’t do it, why was such sports equipment in your house?"

His lies were too obvious.

"By exercising secretly at home, what do you want to do?"

Riya was so confused.

The man on her body was slightly stunned, and he still denied it, "I didn’t do it."

Riya thought that he just didn’t want to admit it.

Riya smiled and did not want to argue with him. She then asked, "Who bought the equipment?"

The man finally raised his head. Riya didn’t know whether it was because his face was buried in her neck for too long or he was guilty that his usually stiff and strict face actually blushed.

The man’s gaze refused to fall on her face. He turned and said, "My mom. She knew that I wanted to keep fit, so she bought the equipment for me."

"Since you just want to build up a good physique, why do you do it secretly and not go to the Gym?"

Riya just didn’t understand it.

She guessed that this man must be lying.

As expected, a hint of awkwardness flashed across Stefan’s face. He coughed lightly and said, "I don’t want others to know that I want to keep fit with exercise. I want to give someone a surprise."

So ... he pretended not to care about his love in public, but in fact, he was so hardworking for it.

Riya smiled and could not help but complain, "Then you are really so clever."

He believed that with a nice body shape and his excellent identity, there was no way that he couldn’t get the woman he loved.

Sure enough, this woman was right by his side.

Stefan pursed his lips and said coldly, "I know that this plan isn’t that good."

Riya thought so.

She smiled and nodded.

After that, she could not help but shrink her body and laugh out loud on the bed.

It was true ... that she had never seen such a funny guy!

It was way too funny.

The man looked at the happy woman in his arms.

The expression on his face became more and more embarrassed.

He lowered his head and planted a heavy kiss on the woman’s lips, silencing her happy laughter completely.

The laughter in the room turned into a gentle sob.

Riya was pressed on the bed by the man and was kissed hard by her for a long time.

Finally, when she was about to breathe her last, he let go of her.

She breathed and said unhappily, "You are too rude. The child in my belly will feel uncomfortable."

She actually knew that Stefan had been careful to avoid hurting the fetus.

She just wanted to complain a little.

The man’s face stiffened. It was obvious that he looked at Riya’s lower abdomen with some worry.

He married her because she was pregnant, and he couldn’t let the child get any hurt.

Riya saw his nervous look and could not help but smile, "I’m fine. I think it’s a pity that it’s not twins."

After saying that, she couldn’t help but want to laugh again.

But the look from the man successfully stopped her.

She just reached out and wrapped her arms around the man in front of her.

With a smile, Riya said sincerely, "Although I didn’t like you before, it’s different now. Stefan, I suddenly feel that you are quite adorable."

She did not know when she had fallen for this man.

It was just that when she discovered it, she already liked him very much!

...

The first ray of morning sunlight shone in through the window.

Margaret in the quilt stretched and turned to hug the man beside her...

Feeling the empty space beside her, Margaret was slightly startled and opened her eyes.

Sure enough, the man was not by her side. At this time, he must have gone downstairs to do exercises.

Margaret turned over restlessly. Recently, due to the change in appetite, she felt that she was not feeling well eating and did not sleep well either.

She not only always had nightmares for no reason but also wanted to vomit the food she ate.

Could it be the vomiting during pregnancy? Did her body just react to the child in her belly now?

She rolled over again. Since she was awake, she could not fall asleep again. She then just got up from the bed.

As soon as Orlenna looked up, she saw that her daughter, who usually wouldn’t wake up until noon, actually got up so early today.

"Mom, I’m not feeling well."

Margaret sat on the sofa and slid down the back of the chair to Orlenna.

She rested her head on Orlenna’s shoulder and said unhappily, "Mom, I’m so tired. It’s really hard to be a pregnant woman."

Although she couldn’t sleep, she still felt sleepy.

She just didn’t know what had happened recently. She was so sleepy that she always wanted to sleep.

Orlenna turned to look at her and frowned, "Are you not feeling well?" Margaret lay on her shoulder and nodded weakly. "How long has it been?"

Margaret didn’t understand. Orlenna asked again, "How long has this situation been?"

Seeing that Orlenna was so serious, Margaret said, "It’s just that these two days, I always feel tired and want to sleep."

Because she had slept early last night, she woke up so early this morning.

"What time did you sleep?"

Orlenna asked again. Margaret was a little weak, but she still answered honestly, "I

was sleepy after dinner last night."

Orlenna then felt that this should be a normal reaction after being pregnant - drowsiness.

She was afraid that if Margaret still just ate and slept like this every day, she would be so fat before she could give birth.

Margaret curled her lips and said, "I don’t really want to eat food."

Her appetite had always been good, and there were very few times when she did not want to eat.

It was just that these two days, she only wanted to sleep, not want to eat anything or move.

In short, she felt uncomfortable all over, and she almost didn’t recognize herself.

Orlenna frowned. Just as she was about to say something, she saw Julian come in from the outside. She glanced at him and said, "Margaret is not feeling well. Take her to the hospital for a prenatal checkup."

Margaret was stunned for a moment and looked up at Orlenna, "Mom, didn’t I just have a prenatal checkup? The doctor said that I just need to do it again in five months."

She had been pregnant for three months, and her condition was almost stable.

Moreover, she was so fat that she did not know how much the child in her belly had grown.

If she went for the prenatal checkup this time, the result must be that her child was growing too fast.

Orlenna ignored Margaret and looked at Julian seriously, "Go and see the doctor from the Jorgansen family. If Margaret needs to do a blood test, remember to have another specimen. After that, we can let Horton have a look."

A trace of surprise flashed through Julian’s eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He nodded calmly; his expression as cold as ever.

Margaret couldn’t help but frown, muttering in a low voice, "Then they will draw my blood two times."

She didn’t want to do it at first. Now, not only did she have to do a secondary checkup, but she also had to be drawn blood two times. It must be very painful.

Orlenna looked at Margaret. This time, she did not criticize her. She only said, "Do you want to eat something? I will make something you like to eat, OK?"

Margaret felt as if this woman in front of her wasn’t her mom. When did she become so tender?

"Mom, are you possessed by something? Why do you become so strange?"

Sure enough, as soon as Margaret finished speaking, Orlenna rolled her eyes and said coldly, "You always sleep every day, and I don’t think you need to eat anything."

She then looked at Julian and said, "Go and change your clothes. Bring her to the hospital quickly."

Margaret felt that she was driven out for no reason, and most importantly, wasn’t this her home?

The property belonged to her, so why was she treated so rudely?

Sitting in Julian’s car, Margaret said unhappily, "I haven’t had breakfast yet."

Julian fastened her seat belt. There was no expression on his face, and he calmly said, "Some checks require that you not eat anything in the morning. This is just the right time."

But ... she was really hungry!

Margaret snorted and turned to look outside the window.

She did not expect that even her own man would gang up with her mom to bully her.

She was really too unlucky!

Before Margaret left, she did not change her clothes. There was still a large pajama inside and a thick down jacket on the outside.

Lying in the warm seat of the car, she felt the comfortable temperature of the car and soon fell asleep again.

When she woke up, the car had already stopped, and they were already at the entrance of the hospital consultation hall.

"My mother is just so meddlesome. She just doesn’t want to see me stay at home comfortably. I have only done the prenatal checkup for a few days, and she actually asked to do another checkup."

The last time she did the prenatal checkup, she had waited for a long time.

Margaret lowered her head as she muttered in a low voice.

Although she was very dissatisfied, she didn’t dare to act contrary to her own mother. Since Orlenna asked her to come, she had to do it.

"It’s a bit cold outside. Button up your clothes."

Julian went forward, pulled the zipper for her, and covered her with the hat.

There was a layer of white hair wrapped around her furry hat, revealing only her round little face.

She just looked like a delicate doll.

Because the hair in front of her blocked his sight, Margaret blinked her big eyes

slightly.

She hugged Julian’s arm with both hands and whispered, "Do I look like a Chihuahua?"

Julian covered her head with his palm and said with a smile, "No, you are like a panda."

"Panda is a rare animal."

Julian then said, "Yes, and you also are very precious."

Well, Julian was saying such old-fashioned honeyed words again.

Margaret stretched out her hand and tightly held the man’s fingers. She then raised her head and smiled, "Then don’t lose me!"

She was unique. If he lost her, maybe he would never find her again.

Julian smiled and held Margaret’s hand. They interlocked their fingers as he led her to the hospital.

This time it was different from last time. Margaret did not wait long.

Julian directly arranged a VIP special line. After a series of processes, the results were soon out.

Margaret leaned against him and whispered, "Since you have the special right, why didn’t you take it out last time?"

Julian smiled, "Did you forget that last time we were in River City? That is not my domain."

Yes, Margaret realized that River City was the territory under the control of her Anderson family.

She did not have that right, and Bruce also was not willing to use his right to help her.

She was really so unlucky to have such a bad brother.

The two sat in the consultation room, and the doctor opposite pushed up his glasses and glanced at Margaret’s examination results, smiling slightly.

Only then did he say, "Mr. Jorgansen, don’t worry. Your wife is very healthy, and the child in her belly is also very well."

When Margaret heard this, she smiled proudly. As she had said, she was very healthy!
