The Pampering CEO: Don't Mess With My Secretly-Married Sweet Wife
Chapter 206 Overjoyed

After the meeting, Susan applied for leave and went to the hospital.

She did not seek any personal privileges and waited for her blood draw result just like everybody else did.

However, even so, it was not long before she got her report.

After the doctor scanned through her report, a smile hopped onto his lips as he said, "Congratulations Mrs. Shaw. The report shows that you've been pregnant for a month already."

Susan's brain was still stuck back in the delicious quagmire of good news even after she came out of the hospital.

She was pregnant. The result of the test strips was accurate. A tiny life was being fostered within her, and she was going to become a mother.

Slowly, ever slowly, the realization hit her, filling her with such a sense of great exhilaration that she thought her heart was going to explode. A smile crossed her face and she raised her head to look into the sky. She felt like she was dreaming.

She did not go to Lanyard anymore but went home directly.

Julian had not come back from work yet.

Sitting on the couch, Susan caressed her stomach in a loving manner. She could not suppress her grin.

Mama Jean had never seen Susan in this state before. Piqued by her curiosity, she asked, "Is there any good news you want to share with us, Miss Susan?"

"Well, there is one good news I would like to share, but..." Susan smiled, "Let's wait until Julian comes back first."

Julian was her husband. He was supposed to be the first person to know about the pregnancy, but something unexpected happened and Ayla became the first person to know about the news. Since Julian could not be first, at the very least she wanted him to be the second. As such, she planned to keep her pregnancy a secret until Julian returned home.

Susan thought she would have to wait until evening to see Julian. Never did she expect that he would come back in the afternoon.

The moment Julian rushed into the house, he went straight up to Susan. Concern was written all over his face as he asked, "Susie, your colleagues told me that you returned home when I went to pick you up for lunch. Are you all alright?"

However, Susan did not reply and merely smiled at him with a wide, radiant grin.

Julian was thrown into the loop when he saw the grin on Susan's face. He did not know what had gotten into her, so he just tapped her with his finger and queried,"

Why are you smiling at me?" "Ahem!" Susan cleared her throat, putting on a serious expression before saying, "Julian, I have a very important thing to tell you."

Julian was a little taken aback by her serious expression. "What's the matter?"

"I guess I can't enjoy the world of two with you anymore," Susan sighed.

"Why is it so?" Julian asked.

Throwing him a sidelong glance, Susan continued," Because we're going to welcome the third person into our family."

"The third person? Who is it?" Julian pressed on, his face still clouded over in confusion.

Susan did not know whether to laugh or get angry at him. She had given him so many clues, yet he still failed to get it.

'Why is he so dumb? And yet he calls himself a CEO?' Susan chided Julian inwardly. 1

Frowning disapprovingly, she said, "Think about it yourself."

Julian's mind was a muddled mess. He tried to think over the things she said, yet he could not grasp it. He stood frozen stiff on the spot with a blank expression on his face and he looked like a deer caught in headlights.

Mama Jean was tickled pink when she saw Julian's befuddled state. Chuckling, she then went forward and rescued him from his predicament, "Mr. Julian, it means Miss Susan is pregnant! She said she can't enjoy the world of two with you anymore because you're having a child! It'll be a family of three!"

'Susan... is pregnant?'

The news came as a bombshell and Julian was stunned to his core. He looked disbelievingly at Susan and his voice was shaking when he tried to talk, "Susie... You... You're pregnant?"

It was really rare to see Julian lose his composure, and Susan felt this was the perfect opportunity to record this moment down. She took out her phone and took a photo of him. Then, she gave him a surreptitious gaze and said, "What do you think?"

"I... I..." Julian stammered. He tried to talk, but the words were stuck in his brain without being able to force themselves out of his mouth.

Susan waited patiently for him to come around to his senses.

Suddenly, he blurted, "Wait for me here!" Then, he dashed out of the house.

Susan was shocked to the marrow by his reaction. She watched with her mouth wide open and she could not say anything for a long time.

After a while, she turned to Mama Jean and asked,"

Mama Jean, what is he doing?"

Hearing her question, Mama Jean cleared her throat and said, "I guess... Mr. Julian is just too excited."

'Well, he doesn't have to run away even if he's excited... I

Just when Susan was lost for words, Julian returned.

All traces of cosmic shock were gone from his face. His eyes were bright, his gaze was stern, and there he seemed to be coated in an air of confidence as he walked up to Susan.

"Hm?" Susan looked at him.

"I heard what you said," Julian said sternly, "Now that you're pregnant, there are a lot of things we need to prepare. First, we have to inform both of our relatives, your brother, and my mother right now. The baby will be born in a few months' time, so we need to prepare something in advance. Lastly, we have to bring forward our wedding before your belly gets too large. Our wedding must be grand and there must not be a single sloppy ditch, so I'll get my men to start the preparations right away. I assure you everything will be done in two months, and Susie, you only have to psych yourself up and be ready to marry me when the time comes."

His speech was well-organized, but Susan did not know why it gave her a hunch that he was reading from a script.

She blinked her eyes, and she realized that he would peek at his palm whenever he finished a sentence.

Amused by Julian, she slowly rose to her feet. Then, before Julian realized anything, she grabbed his wrist and turned his palm upward, revealing the cheat sheet in his hand. Inform relatives, child's stuff, wedding...

Susan could not help herself laughing. She did not know why Julian would need a cheat sheet to remind him of the things that he wanted to say.

"Stop laughing at me!" Julian glowered as he withdrew his hand back.

Ever since Susan told him she was pregnant, he was so nervous that he could not think straight. Up until now, his palm was still sweating.

He had practiced the speech a thousand times, yet he feared that he would forget when the time came. That was why he prepared himself a cheat sheet.

"Alright, alright. I'll stop laughing now," Susan said, though the smile never left her lips.

Julian shot another glance at her. This time, she could not hold herself anymore and burst out into a great fit of laughter.

Julian was beyond speechless seeing how happy Susan was.

"Stop laughing, Susie. You'll get tired," he said.

Susan tried to suppress herself, yet the merriment was still apparent in her eyes when she looked at Julian.

"Julian, it's such a rare sight to see you so nervous." "Rare sight?" Julian raised his brow, "I've never been so nervous before."

He took a seat next to Susan and gently hovered his palm over her stomach. "Susie, we're going to have a kid."

His voice was deep and soft. It was as if he was afraid of waking something up.

Susan's heart melted when she noticed that his usually rigid jawline had softened.

She wondered how fast things had changed. Neither she nor Julian was like this in the beginning. It was time, love, and patience that made them try to learn how to adapt to each other and shaped them into what they were today.

Right now, an angel was about to appear in their life. They had to learn together how to love this new member that was going to join them soon.

Truth be told, Susan was a little queasy. However, at the same time, she was looking forward to it too.

Even though they were inexperienced, Susan believed that both of them would do their best to be a good parent.

Welcome to our family, my dear baby.
