Chapter 713 We Can Have Another Child Soon
When Stefan returned to the Doyle Manor, Bianca had just finished serving all the dishes she had prepared. Martha turned her head and saw Stefan, instantly beaming with joy. "You're back!" "Mhmm," Stefan replied warmly, taking off his suit jacket and hanging it on a hanger.
Once he hung up his jacket, he walked over to the dining table and sat down next to Martha. As soon as he sat down, Jimmy spoke up. "Daddy, you came home early today.”
"| finished everything | needed to do at work, so | could come home earlier," Stefan said before glancing at Martha with a meaningful look.
Martha met his gaze but stiffened slightly while her ears turned red. She wanted Stefan to come home early so that Eden could leave work early too and spend time with Melissa. But now seeing him like this made it clear that he misunderstood her.
She pursed her lips together before coughing lightly and asked casually, "Since you're already here, did Eden go back after work?"
Stefan served Martha a bowl of soup before placing it in front of her. "Not yet; there are still some things he needs to take care of at the office.”
Upon hearing this news from Stefan caused Martha's eyes to widen in surprise. The person who should have gone back didn't go back while someone who shouldn't have come back did instead.
She tightened her grip on her fork anxiously as she looked towards Stefan urgently, "Call Eden right now and tell him to go home immediately."
Everyone sitting around the table stared at Martha confusedly, not understanding what was going on until finally Stefan snapped out of it first and asked worriedly, "Did something happen?"
"Mhmm," replied Martha quickly, urging Stefan again, "Quick! Call Eden right now and tell him to go home immediately." “What happened?" asked Stefan, frowning slightly as he looked into her eyes, trying to understand what was happening.
His intuition told him that Melissa wasn't in danger, or else Martha wouldn't be acting like this, but he couldn't guess what exactly happened either.
Just when he was feeling puzzled about everything happening around them, an anxious answer came from Martha, "Melissa is pregnant! You need call Eden right away, but don't tell him why."
"Melissa needs to tell Eden this good news herself, understand?" Martha said all this in one breath and stared at Stefan with a tight gaze, signaling him to take action.
Stefan understood and dialed Eden's phone. Soon, Eden's gentle voice came through the phone with a hint of annoyance. "What's up?"
Stefan glanced at Martha who was anxiously looking at him and calmly said, "I'll handle the company matter later. You go back first."
"Okay." Eden hung up. After finishing sorting out all the documents, he went directly to Stefan's office and placed them on his desk.
Two hours ago, he ordered takeout for Melissa because he was afraid she would get hungry. He didn't know if it was because they had just returned home or something else but lately she had been feeling nauseous and her appetite wasn't good.
He suggested going to the hospital but Melissa refused, so it had been two or three days since then. If her condition doesn't improve tonight, he would have to be firm and take her for an examination forcefully.
Thinking about this made Eden unconsciously quicken his pace.
At the Doyle Manor, after Stefan ended the call, Martha looked more guilty than ever while avoiding eye contact with him. She felt like crying but couldn't shed any tears.
She knew that sometimes Stefan worked together with Eden. To avoid the situation where Eden got the news from her instead of Melissa, she had to lie to Stefan.
Who would have thought that Stefan would misunderstand her? She didn't want things to turn out like this either.
Martha pretended to be calm while holding the fork, readying herself for some food. When she turned around, she saw Bianca along with Jimmy staring straight at her without blinking their eyes.
She paused before asking curiously, "Why are you all staring at me?"
Bianca regained consciousness first, then smiled while asking,"Has Melissa done a check-up yet? Is it confirmed that she is pregnant?"
“Mommy! Does Melissa already have a baby inside?" The little guy curiously stared at his own mother, waiting for an accurate answer from her.
Martha nodded and smiled, "Yes, today | had plans to go shopping with Melissa, but she suddenly got sick. It reminded me of when | was pregnant, so | took her to the hospital for a check-up."
"Turns out, she really is pregnant!" Martha said happily. Bianca quickly added, "Make sure that Melissa stays home for the first three months and doesn't go running around everywhere.”
"Okay, got it," Martha replied with a smile as she picked up her spoon from the bowl of soup. The next second, Jimmy's voice chimed in. "Mommy, is Melissa having a baby girl or boy?" Martha looked over at her bright-eyed son and asked with a smile,"Do you want Melissa to have a baby girl or boy?"
"A boy," Jimmy answered seriously before explaining himself further. "Daddy said you're going to give me a younger sister, so if Melissa has a son, there will be one more person protecting my sister."
Martha chuckled at his explanation before burying herself in eating again. Just as Jimmy was about to say something else, Stefan spoke up calmly, "Don't speak when you're eating.” Just those few words scared and silenced Jimmy Jimmy.
He knew better than to provoke his dad right now or he'd be in trouble later on.novelbin
Jimmy sensed this and shifted his attention back onto tonight's dinner instead.
Later that night, Jimmy was already fast asleep. As Stefan entered their bedroom, Martha was leaning against the headboard reading an international bestseller book.
She heard him come in but didn't look up from her book until half an hour later when she felt something blocking out the light above her head, causing her to glance upwards curiously.
Stefan stood there, wearing nothing but a white towel loosely tie and his waist, while-cropleta ot water omic down from his hairline into his eyebrows before falling off onto his collarbone. Please read the original content at NovelDrama.Org.
The mischievous water droplets slid down the man's toned waist and landed on his towel, disappearing from sight. Martha's cheeks turned red as she struggled to regain her composure.
“Are you done with your shower?" she asked after a moment. Stefan pursed his lips and silently watched the flustered woman in front of him, taking note of her every move.
Martha waited for a response but received none. She tried to make a conversation, "I'm reading a book. Do you want to join me?"
Instead of giving a gentle reply, Stefan's hand shot out and grab

Her survival instincts kicked in as she desperately tried to come up with an excuse. "Uh... there was also something else | wanted to talk about.”
Stefan raised an eyebrow and asked calmly, "What else did you want to talk about?"
Martha wracked her brain but couldn't think of anything else. Finally, she sighed and said wistfully, "| can't believe Melissa already has a baby."
Stefan leaned forward towards Martha until they were almost touching noses. He whispered softly while tracing her evasive gaze with his own eyes,"If you want one too, we can have another baby soon.”
