Chapter 67 She Might Have Carried His Child
Scarlett was troubled by Mike’s strange attitude towards her.
Not only did he look at her every day like he was cramping, but he also focused on her stomach.
For once or twice, Scarlett had caught him while he staring at her stomach with a weird smile.This is from NôvelDrama.Org.
It was not an exaggerated smile.
It was faint and warm. Scarlett could see the tenderness in his eyes.
This was enough to shock Scarlett.
A cold and scheming man like Mike suddenly changed, how could she stay calm!
Hence, she secretly asked Daniel and Lily about the recent performance of the Abraham Group?
She wondered if some difficulty and loss had made Mike lose his mind.
But the answer was no. The Abraham Group operated well and was expanding to the overseas market smoothly. They maintained a 20% annual growth rate against the backdrop of a sluggish economy. This was quite impressive.
After eliminating the external factors, Scarlett began to reflect on herself. She formed a super conspiracy.
Mike was laughing at her for gaining weight!
One day, Scarlett found that her pants were a little tight, so she weighed herself.
She had gained five pounds because of Mike. In addition to the weight she had gained when she was sick, she had gained ten pounds of weight in total after they divorced. She was almost a hundred pounds now!
Ever since Bernard took her pulse, Mike did not ask her to drink Chinese medicine every day. In contrast, he used all kinds of rare ingredients to make tonic soup for her.
From Cordyceps Sinensis to bird’s nest, every day he would have a new recipe.
But Scarlett didn’t feel it any better than drinking the medicine. Because Mike now used a larger bowl.
“Mike, are you sure that I have to drink all of this?”
Scarlett looked at the pot-like bowl.
“Well, if you can’t finish it…”
“Deduct my salary, right?” Scarlett already knew his lines.
Scarlett reluctantly took a sip, “Why am I the only one who uses such a big bowl?”
The bowls were all antiques, but his was small and exquisite, while hers was large.
Scarlett felt that he was feeding her like feeding a pig.
“There is only one bowl of this kind in the auction.”
“Are you sure this is a bowl? Isn’t a basin?”
Scarlett was already full when she drank half of it.
She was right. Hers was a small-size basin.
But Mike would not tell her. He slowly finished his meal and focused on her.
“Be quick. I’ll take you to work.”
“This is how you fattened me up.” Scarlett thought of the number on the weight scale and said ruefully.
“I have never been so fat!”
“No.” You will be even fatter in the future.
Mike looked at her stomach with pleasant.
Although she was not pregnant now, Bernard said she might soon be pregnant. Thinking of this, Mike found the whole world become lovelier.
“I won’t keep gaining weight like this.”
Scarlett misunderstood Mike and said.
“Other people would lose weight when they get divorced. Why am I getting fatter?”
“But your IQ has been declining.” Mike ruthlessly hit the nail on the head.
“Do you mean I’m stupid? You’re stupid, your family is all stupid!” Scarlett was irritated.
“Don’t let me hear you say that again!” Mike frowned.
‘It is too inauspicious!
‘Was she cursing my excellent next generation to be as silly as her?
‘However, if it is an innocent daughter like her, it seems not bad… ‘
Mike immediately saw in his mind a plump little Scarlett brandishing her lotus-like arms and calling him daddy. Mike’s eyes lit up.
Scarlett finished the soup with great difficulty and spread out on the chair, patting her round stomach.
“I’ll start a diet now.”
“I forbid you to do so.”
“Why! I’m so fat!” She pinched her stomach but he immediately slapped her hand away.
“Based on your height, the healthy and normal weight is at least 50 kilograms.”
She should have a healthy body to give birth to children carrying his outstanding genes.
Scarlett took a deep breath. What a cruel man. He wanted to feed her fat so that no man would like her!
“If I find out that you are on a diet, I won’t hesitate to punish you!”
He warned her coldly. Scarlett turned her eyes to the huge bowl in front of her, thinking of a scheme.
If this one “accidentally” broke, she could change into a smaller bowl.
“I got this set from the auction. The market price is fifty…”
Scarlett immediately put her wallet on the table. She would rather pay fifty than be fed up like this!
“Thousand,” Mike added casually and she silently took back her wallet.
“Mike, you are too extravagant. How can you use such an expensive bowl so casually? What if it breaks?”
“You’ll pay for it.”
Scarlett patted her stomach. “What could I pay you with?”
He grabbed her hand and gave her a warning knock on the head. “Never knock on your stomach again!”
“Why are you so bossy? I can knock my stomach whenever I want!”
After eating so much, she felt overstuffed. Patting her stomach would make her feel better.
“How dare you!” He said.
Scarlett pursed. She was not afraid of Mike. When he was not with her, she could pat her stomach as she pleased.
Her expression spoke out every thought of hers. Mike looked at Scarlett helplessly.
He felt that she was becoming more and more naughty.
But she might be pregnant with his baby.
He couldn’t hit her bottom and teach her a lesson. How could he make this naughty kitten behave herself?
Mike was troubled.
When they went out, Scarlett suddenly felt a chill on her neck.
“Where did you get such a piece of glass?”
She touched it and found that it was a bottle-green jewel embossed with a delicate orchid.
“The cleaner found it in the trash can. I give it to you.”
In fact, this was her birthday gift on the day they “divorced”.
At that time, he threw it away in a fit of anger. Daniel picked it up. Now Mike gave the gift to its owner.
It is said that emerald is good for pregnant women…
Scarlett complained that it looks like a beer bottle’s bottom.
But she was not so ignorant to mistake emerald for glass.
“Mike, is this real?”
“A high imitation. Don’t take it off, got it?”
“Okay.” Scarlett pursed, knowing that this stingy guy would not give her a real piece of jewel.
If it was real emerald, it would be worth a mansion, and her debt would be repaid.
“How I wish it is real so that I can pay off my debts.” She touched the emerald and said to herself.
Mike gritted his teeth and thought, “This idiot woman!”
The best had always been hers, be it jewel or man.
Unfortunately, this dumb cat had not realized it.
