Chapter 182 You Are Pregnant With A Son

After washing up, he looked up and his gaze stopped at Joyce’s reflection in the mirror.

Joyce was applying neck cream while slightly lifting her jaw. She was wearing a set of white cotton pajamas with floral patterns printed on them. Her hair was casually tied back, and the loose strands were pinned up with two large hair clips.

Even though she had given birth to a child and was over thirty years old, her skin and figure were still the same as when she was in her twenties. Compared to when they first met, she had a nicer body shape now. Their gazes met in the mirror, and Joyce’s action of applying cream came to a halt.

Recently, Kendrick was very busy. When he came back to the room to rest, Joyce had often fallen asleep. They hadn’t been intimate with each other for a while.

She lowered her eyelids and continued to apply the cream.

Kendrick withdrew his gaze, wiped away the water from his hands, and turned to get out of the bathroom. Joyce glanced at his leaving figure through the corner of her eyes for a moment and couldn’t help pouting. A few minutes later, when she came out of the bathroom, Kendrick was already in bed.

Lifting the blanket, she went to bed. She crossed her arms over his waist and kissed his ear. “Honey…” Kendrick lowered his eyelids and glanced at her. Then, he pulled her hand away and moved aside.

His action made Joyce laugh in exasperation. She lifted the blanket, sat up, and was about to get out of bed with the pillow in her arms. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Kendrick grabbed her arm and asked, “Where are you going?”

Joyce said angrily, “I don’t want to talk to you. I’m going to sleep on the couch.”

Hearing this, Kendrick pulled Joyce back, but failing to balance herself, she fell on the bed.

“Childish.”

As their gazes met, Kendrick held her chin and kissed her heavily.

Joyce bit him back, and Kendrick moved back momentarily while still holding her jaw in his hand.

She retorted, “You’re the childish one.”

They looked at each other silently for two seconds. Joyce pinched his face and said, “Are we doing it? If we’re not, don’t disturb me. I want to rest.”

Kendrick grabbed her wrists, pressed them on the pillow, and lowered his head to suck her lips.

Christopher and Yuliana arrived at the entrance of Celestial Garden, but they didn’t go home immediately.

Instead, they parked the car on the side of the road and went to a barbecue shop by the entrance.

It was pretty late then, but business was good in the shop. The tables were full inside, and there were only two vacant seats left at the table at the door.

Christopher went to place the order for food, and Yuliana sat down at the empty table.

There were two tables next to her.

On one table, there were a few young men. They looked like they had just graduated from university. Their expressions were full of vigor. The plates in front of them were full of BBQ skewers, and they drank beer while they chatted.

They looked very relaxed.

On the other table sat a man and woman with a little boy. A baby was also sleeping in a stroller. They seemed to be a family of four.

The man was teasing the little boy with the BBQ skewer, causing the boy to scream. The woman was laughing at the side and glancing at the stroller from time to time.

Looking at them, Yuliana couldn’t help thinking that maybe in a few months, she could also be pushing the stroller out with Christopher to come out for barbeque.

At that time, they would be a farnily of three.

When Christopher came back, he saw Yuliana staring at the table next to her, lost in her thoughts.

He pulled out the chair and sat down beside Yuliana, with his arm resting on the back of her chair, Christopher took a glance in the direction she was looking at. “What is it that has you so focused?”

Yuliana pointed and answered, “That stroller is so beautiful. Let’s buy one too.”

Christopher glanced at the stroller Yuliana pointed at. It was pink, with various small decorations in pink and blue. He couldn’t help but frown. “It’s too fancy”

“How is it fancy?” Yuliana felt that it looked good.

Christopher stared at her, wanting to say something, but hesitated.

Yuliana saw that his expression looked odd and asked, “What’s wrong?”

Christopher glanced at her stomach. “Joyce and Layla said that the baby in your stomach should be born. with something extra.”

When Winnie asked to speak to Yuliana that night, Zofia asked Christopher to have a girl. As a result, Layla and Joyce started discussing that Yuliana was pregnant with a boy.

It so happened that Layla had given birth to a daughter while Joyce had given birth to a son. Everything they said sounded logical. Combined with Yuliana’s pregnancy situation, what they said sounded true.

Christopher thought to himself, “If the baby is a son, so be it. He wouldn’t be too bad, as he inherits my genes.”

“What do you mean?”

Yuliana was a little confused and didn’t understand his words.

Seeing her confused face, Christopher couldn’t help but touch her face and explained, “It means that you are pregnant with a son.”

“You wouldn’t know for sure.” Although Yuliana doesn’t care whether it’s a boy or a girl, she also felt that Joyce and Layla’s claims lacked much credibility. If it could be identified by simply using the naked eye, there would be no need to visit the hospital for a checkup. “Besides, what’s wrong with a boy being a bit fancy? Who says boys can’t be fancy?”

Christopher’s entire attention was on Yuliana’s face, not on what she was saying. He leaned in and kissed her on the corner of her mouth. “Well, you’re right.”

“What are you doing?”

Yuliana looked around guiltily with a flushed expression.

Then, her gaze met a pair of gleaming eyes.

It was the little boy from the table next to her. He was about four or five years old, wearing a black down jacket, a hat, and a scarf.

Seeing Yuliana looking at him, he quickly covered his eyes with his hand.

The boy’s parents also looked at them when they found something unusual.

Yuliana blushed and nodded at them. The couple smiled back.

After a while, the boss served the grilled BBQ skewers.

Christopher fed Yuliana a BBQ skewer as she snuggled her hands in the sleeves of her coat, not bothering to stretch out her hand. She simply sat there and enjoyed Christopher’s service.

Yuliana only took one bite, and Christopher ate the rest.

Seeing the oil stains on the corners of his mouth, she pulled a tissue and wiped it for him. Then, she tasted the barbecue in her mouth and said, “It seems to be not as delicious as the one we had in Romdale last time.” Christopher handed over another BBQ skewer. Yuliana glanced at it and couldn’t tell what it was.

She shook her head and didn’t dare to eat it. “You have it. I’m not eating this.”

Christopher lowered his gaze and sneered, “How picky.”

Yuliana ignored him and took a vegetarian BBQ skewer. As she was eating slowly, she asked casually, “How did Ken and Joyce know each other?”

After having two BBQ skewers, Christopher stopped and took a sip of hot coffee. “Why do you suddenly ask

this?”

“I’m just curious.” Yuliana took a skewer of roasted wings BBQ skewer for him and said, “There seems to be a huge age difference between Ken and Joyce.”

Christopher took a bite and chewed slowly. “They have a couple of years of an age gap. However, I don’t know much about the situation between them.”

When Kendrick and Joyce met, Christopher was still in high school and was not on very good terms with Kendrick. So, he didn’t even care about Kendrick’s relationship at all.

However, when Joyce got pregnant and Kendrick raised that he wanted to marry her, the family quarreled for

a while.

Zachary and Winnie both disagree.

Kendrick was the eldest son of the Solace family. He inherited the Solace family’s family business. So, he had to make some sacrifices. He couldn’t just get into marriage with any woman. At the very least, the person had to be worthy of the Solace family’s lady of the house.

Later on, Kendrick withstood pressure from every party and married Joyce.
