Chapter 219 Niamh Knows Ophe Is Pregnant.
Ophe was scared and quickly put on her clothes. "When did you wake up? I thought you were asleep." Even if they had been intimate before, being suddenly exposed like this was still very embarrassing.
Finnegan's lips curled slightly. "Let me see what's going on with your waist."
"It's not an injury; it's a birthmark. I've had it since I was little." Ophe lifted her clothes a bit, revealing a small blue moon-shaped birthmark on her waist, about the size of a thumb, with a clear shape.
Finnegan lightly touched it with his hand. "It's quite pretty."
Ophe put down her clothes. "It's good that it's on my waist. If it were on my face, it would be ugly."
He smiled and said, "Even if it's ugly, I wouldn't mind."
"By the way, why were you all talking about family and children today? Whenever you gather together, others would think you're starting some big project, but instead, you talk about ordinary things," Ophe curiously asked.
"Today was originally a private gathering, so there was no talking about work." Finnegan smiled and said, "Besides being entrepreneurs, we are also men and fathers. It's normal to care about the next generation. Some of the parenting knowledge they talked about today can be useful in the future."
His hand rested on her belly, "The due date is in December, which is the coldest time in New York. I have to think of a good name."
Ophe also began to envision the future. "I wonder if it's a boy or a girl. Finnegan, do you prefer a boy or a girl?"
"I like them both." Finnegan kissed Ophe's belly. "It would be best if the first child is a boy and the second child is a girl. The daughter can be a little sister, and the older brother can take care of her. If our daughter is the older one, she will have to take care of her little brother. It will be too hard for the girl."
Ophe was happy that Finnegan considered this. She would have thought he favored boys over girls.
In fact, Ophe would be happy regardless of whether the first child was a boy or a girl.
Ophe laughed. "You're already thinking about the second child. Do you think I should give birth to children for you continuously?"
"Let's plan for the second one. Let's name the eldest boy, Julian. It's so cold in December. If it's a girl, let's name her Joy. In such cold weather, the girl needs more warmth," Finnegan said as he fell asleep.
He fell asleep so fast that Ophe couldn't help but smile. She kissed his forehead and whispered, "Goodnight."
Ophe followed Finnegan into dreamland.
However, there were people couldn't sleep tonight.
Natalie and Dovie returned home, still discussing Finnegan, and Niamh happened to overhear them.
Once Dovie went back to her room, Niamh sneaked into Natalie's room and whispered, "Natalie, I heard you went out with Dovie today. Did you hang out with Finnegan?"
"Today, Martin from HF Bank organized a gathering. Your mom took me along to meet some people. Finnegan was there too," Natalie said as she took off her jewelry. "There was this woman named Ophe who was also present. I saw her in person today and realized that she is truly talented. Throughout the dinner, Finnegan would occasionally serve Ophe food or hand her tissues. He took care of her attentively."
Niamh felt jealous and resentful when she heard that. "Ophe is nothing but a seductress left with the skill of luring men. Finnegan must have fallen for her tricks, and that's why he married her."
Niamh couldn't stand the fact that she had lost to an ordinary employee.
On her birthday, she saw the four-leaf clover necklace that Finnegan bought. The next day, she saw it on Ophe's neck. The salesperson said it was a birthday gift for his girlfriend, but it wasn't meant for her at all.
During the birthday party, she endured mockery from others while Finnegan celebrated with Ophe.
All these thoughts fueled her resentment.
Natalie sneered. "It's just some lowly tactics and using a child as leverage."
"Child?" Niamh was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
"Ophe is pregnant." Natalie, as someone with experience, could tell that Ophe was pregnant. "That's why Finnegan married her. Abbott's Family didn't have a wedding, which means Celia doesn't approve of Ophe as her daughter-in-law. This situation may still change. Abbott's Family might go through with the mother-child separation."
