Chapter 473 Scared Away

Claudia said helplessly, "You don't need to be so nervous."

Jair was still wearing the suit from earlier, looking quite stylish and more manly.

He said, "How can I not be nervous? Are you feeling unwell?"

Claudia shook her head. "No. I just suddenly remembered, Laura knows how hard it is for me to be pregnant, she originally wanted to have a baby, but now she doesn't want to at all. Why am I so useless?"

Jair said, "Whether she wants to have a baby or not has nothing to do with you. Even if you had no reaction, if she didn't want to have a baby, she could find other reasons."

Claudia looked at him. "Do you not like Laura?"

"No," Jair said, "She's your friend, and Steven truly loves her. Whether they want to have a baby or not is their own business. Why are you blaming yourself?"

"Got it," Claudia said, "Laura is very nice, don't be prejudiced against her."

Jair laughed. "She and you are completely different types of people, but she's your friend, and she's good to you, so she's my friend too."

To be honest, as a man, Jair couldn't understand why Steven pampered Laura so unconditionally. He didn't know much about their past. But he thought, for a man to do what Steven did, it wasn't easy.

Later, Jair finally learned what kind of life Steven had before. And at that time, the only person who was good to him was Laura. Jair then understood why Steven could be so good to Laura.

But now he still didn't understand, so he really couldn't understand Steven's indulgence towards Laura's occasional antics.

Of course, he also pampered Claudia a lot, feeling that as a man, he should love his wife, especially since she was now pregnant. Moreover, Claudia wasn't someone who made unreasonable demands. Sometimes Jair felt that Claudia was too well-behaved, so much so that it made his heart ache.

At first, he thought Claudia was so well-behaved because she liked him. Later, he realized that wasn't the case, it was just her nature.

Knowing that Claudia was also so well-behaved to others, Jair had been quite jealous.

He originally thought that Claudia's gentleness and obedience were exclusive to him. Then he found out they weren't. To be honest, it made him feel quite uncomfortable.

It was like thinking a piece of jewelry was yours, only to find out everyone had it. Something like that.

Later, he couldn't help but complain to Claudia. "You're nice to everyone."

Seeing his aggrieved face, Claudia wanted to laugh.

Jair was a tall, handsome, and burly man with an air of authority typical of a soldier. It was difficult to picture such a man behaving in a spoiled and aggrieved manner in front of her, like a large dog that appeared mighty and imposing but secretly loved to act spoiled.

Who could resist that? Claudia couldn't resist at that moment. She smiled, then cupped his face and kissed him. "I'm nice to everyone, but the one I love is only you. I won't kiss anyone else, only you."

Jair wasn't the type to be stubborn, after being comforted by Claudia, he figured it out.

Yeah, his girlfriend was gentle, but that completely open love, only he could see it. Jair quickly stopped dwelling on it.

Now that Claudia was pregnant, he treated her like a treasure even more. But Claudia wasn't the type to be spoiled and arrogant, even though Jair wanted to hold her in his palm, she remained calm and composed. And her nature really made her likable to the elders.

Anyway, Jair's parents were now extremely satisfied.

They told everyone that their son had found a good wife.

Some people made snide remarks about Claudia's ordinary family background. Jair's mother directly retorted, defending Claudia.

A woman's reputation was earned by herself. But often, if someone defended you, it could also elevate your status.

Initially, many people underestimated Claudia, but now no one dared to treat her poorly.

Not to mention Jair's parents supported her, the reason for this wedding being held together wasn't because Stuart and Jair had a good relationship, but because their wives were good friends.

After the wedding, everyone knew that these three families were truly strong allies. It wasn't just three families, there was also The Clarence Family and the Collins Family.

Claudia's parents now really had no interest in doing business, they just wanted to enjoy their old age.

Now that Claudia was pregnant, they put more effort into taking care of her. They also thought about taking care of the baby in the future. This kind of life was very satisfying for them.

Before, the family indeed had money and lived a prosperous life, but they had to socialize every day, had endless work, and had to worry about various things.

Now that they had more free time, it might have been a bit uncomfortable at first, but over the years, they felt that this was the life they wanted.

Everything returned to nature, to the simplest days, and they were very content.

Moreover, now that Claudia had found such a capable husband, they had no worries at all, and their days were even more comfortable.

After the wedding, Jair had already taken leave, if it weren't for something suddenly coming up at the military base, he wouldn't have gone back.

Now the vacation had officially started, they had originally planned to go out for a few days, as a honeymoon. But Claudia's pregnancy disrupted this plan.

After some discussion, they decided that Claudia and Jair could stay while the four of them would go. However, Josephine and Laura both insisted on staying, preferring to wait until Claudia had the baby and they could all go together, as they often went out to play and didn't mind missing one trip.

Claudia had just become pregnant, and they wanted to spend more time with her. 

However, this experience made Laura realize how difficult pregnancy could be for a woman. After the wedding, Claudia's morning sickness worsened. Laura spent half a day with her, witnessing her inability to eat and feeling helpless to find a solution.

In the evening, when Steven came to pick her up, seeing her worried face, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Claudia hasn't eaten much all day," Laura said, "Josephine said if this continues, she'll have to go to the hospital for an IV."

Steven said, "I've asked a lot of people, some have severe morning sickness and need IVs to maintain nutrition. Don't worry, she'll be fine."

Though he said that, Claudia's condition really put a lot of pressure on Laura. When she was in a good mood before, she would think about having a baby. Now seeing Claudia like this, it scared her off.
