Secretly Married: Don't Mess With The CEO's Wife novel Chapter 246

Julian Shaw thought that something bad had happened and even his gaze changed.

However, Susie appeared to have a stern, serious expression. He did not have the courage to speak rashly so he could only wait anxiously.

She was still acting fine earlier. Did something happen all of a sudden?

Was Susie feeling unwell?

Or was there something wrong with the baby?

All sorts of speculations flashed past Julian’s mind such that his forehead was smeared with sweat.

“It’s real. I felt it alright.” Susan Shelby was quiet for a moment before she suddenly spoke in excitement.

“What felt alright?” Julian was rather confused.

“It’s the baby. It moved earlier.” Susan’s expression was filled with excitement.

It was a moment ago when she felt the baby in her belly kick her.

The feeling was not very obvious. Susan experienced the feeling quietly and found that the little fellow had just kicked her again.

Even though it was very light, Susan could genuinely feel the kick this time. It was precisely a fetal movement.

“The baby moved?” Julian was dumbstruck with bewilderment.

“Hmm, he kicked me.” Susan cracked into a joyous smile. She placed Julian’s hand gently on her belly then said softly, “Wait, it’s possible that he will move again.”

Julian did not have the courage to move the hand that was placed on Susan’s belly. The expression on his face was stern beyond comparison. If someone who had no idea what was happening, the person would think that he had encountered the most difficult problem.

Julian waited for a few minutes quietly. All of a sudden, a small bulge appeared on Susan’s belly for a moment.

“Did you feel it?” Susan could not help asking.

“I… I felt it…” Julian looked at his palm, dumbfounded.

His baby moved once earlier!

He had also engaged in an interaction with the baby for the first time in his life.

“Snap.” Susan picked up her phone and took a photo of Julian’s grin.

Susan stuck out her tongue. “You were smiling like a silly boy earlier. A photo like this must be kept as a memento.”

“You’re…” Julian was at a loss of whether to laugh or cry. After a while, he placed his hand on her belly gently once again then he chattered to the belly, “Baby, move again, move again.”

Susan’s belly was still.

“Move again, just once.” Julian was recalcitrant so he continued to chatter incessantly.

Susan could not help rolling her eyes. “Stop messing around, the baby needs to rest too.”

“Alright,” Julian answered unwillingly. After a while, he could not refrain himself from leaning closer again.

This time, he laid his head sideways cautiously on Susan’s belly in an attempt to listen to the baby’s movements.

Julian devoted his whole self to listen. Susan could not help looking at him, feeling amused. “Can you hear anything?”

“Yes!” answered Julian in all apparent seriousness.

Susan was astonished by his answer. “What did you hear?”

The baby was not moving though.

“I can hear that...you’re hungry.” Julian said in all apparent seriousness, “Your tummy is growling.”

Susan was speechless, “...”

She rubbed her chin and said, “I really am a little hungry.”

For the first trimester, she could not keep anything down as she constantly vomited what she ate. After the first trimester, her appetite was suddenly much better. She was hungry at all times and she had already gained half a kilogram in a week.

Susan was stunned for a moment. She hastily said, “You haven’t had lunch yet? There’s only some uncooked pasta left from lunch. I shall ask Mama Jean to prepare something for you.”

“Oh oh oh, no need, no need. Just heat up the leftover pasta. I’m so hungry that I just can’t stand it anymore.” Seth stuck out his tongue like a puppy with a gluttonous expression.

Susan could not help laughing in spite of herself. “Sure, have it to fill your tummy first.”

Two bowls of steaming pasta were heated up casually and served.

Seth ate like his usual style…unrestrained.

Even Jacob was moving his fork faster than usual.

Susan was dumbstruck with bewilderment. “Slow down, slow down.”

“What’s going on here? Have you not eaten in three days?”

“I thought we hired a chef to cook for you?” Susan asked while she watched the two people munching the food. They were too preoccupied to reply to her.

Susan could only wait for them to finish their meals before they talked more.

Seth and Jacob each consumed two bowls of pasta before they stopped.

Seth laid on the sofa and retrieved an invitation card from his pocket while he burped. “Susan, this is for you and your spouse.”

For me and my spouse?

Susan took a look at the invitation and she was immediately overjoyed.

The invitation card stated:

‘Ms. Susan Shelby and spouse, you’re cordially invited to attend the launch of the SL phone system.’

“Just come as you like by then, Susan. Julian is just a plus one, he’s indispensable.” Seth was psyched and proud of himself for grilling Julian.
