Chapter 487 A Wise Move
When Laura suspected she was pregnant, she didn't feel much.
Because she knew she would definitely get pregnant.
It was expected, so there was no surprise.
Even when she saw the result of the test, she was just surprised at how quickly it happened.
It seemed that both she and Steven were in good health.
But it wasn't until now, at this moment, with Steven holding her and his body trembling, that Laura truly felt it.
Joy spread from the bottom of her heart, making her feel like the air was sweet.
"Are you happy?" She asked in Steven's ear.
Steven didn't speak, just made a sound of agreement.
Then, Laura felt warmth and moisture spreading on her shoulder.
Was Steven crying?
Although it wasn't the first time she had seen him cry, Laura was still very shocked.
She pushed him away and indeed saw that Steven's eyes were red, with tear stains at the corners.
"Why are you crying," She said with a smile, wiping his tears, "this is a good thing, shouldn't you be happy?"
"I'm happy." Steven's voice was trembling, "I, I'm so happy."
Laura said, "Then you're happy a bit too early. I haven't decided whether to keep this baby yet."
As soon as she finished speaking, Steven stared at her in a daze.
Obviously, he was scared by her words.
In just a few seconds, Steven experienced a range of emotions from ecstasy to disappointment.
Seeing his silly look, Laura laughed, "Really? You believed that?"
Steven felt like he was about to burst, his head throbbing.
He looked at Laura pleadingly, "Laura, please don't torture me, okay?"
Laura said, "Who was it that said they would respect me and not have children? Now that I'm pregnant, you're this happy?"
Steven said, "It's because... It's our child, you're giving birth to our child."
"Then let me ask you, I'm pregnant, do you want it or not?"
Steven didn't dare to speak.
Telling the truth might offend her, lying would be insincere.
Laura said, "No lying!"
Steven had to say, "How could I not want it? It's our child."
"Then let's have it."
With just a light sentence from Laura, Steven felt his heart lift again.
But he was afraid Laura was teasing him again, so he didn't dare to express his feelings.
Laura snuggled against his shoulder, "Oh, I've been eating so much these days, feel my waist, have I gained weight?"
Steven put his hand around her waist.
It was still slender, not fat at all.
He suddenly remembered, "This is someone else's house, should we go home first?"
Laura said, "I don't want to go back, you don't know, Stuart's Tom Yum is especially delicious!"
"What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
"What you make doesn't taste the same!" Laura said, "Now that I have a baby, my taste buds are very picky; I can tell even the slightest difference."
Steven was silent for a few seconds, then asked her, "Did you know you were pregnant a long time ago?"
Laura realized she had slipped up, laughed dryly, and said, "Not that long ago."
"You hid it from me?" Steven was furious, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"Didn't I just tell you?" Laura saw his voice turn cold and got even angrier, "Why are you yelling!"
Steven immediately softened his voice, "I didn't mean anything, I'm just worried about you."
"I'm fine, what's there to worry about?"
Steven thought about her actions these past few days, especially a few days ago when she went to Hustalia with Josephine.
He asked, "When you went to Hustalia, were you already pregnant?"
"Yes," Laura said, "that's why I especially wanted to eat the food there, I felt like I had to eat it right away, it was unbearable if I couldn't."
Steven immediately couldn't bear to blame her.
He said, "Okay, next time you want to eat something, I'll go with you."
Laura said, "Then you can't control me, I'll eat whatever I want."
Steven was a bit troubled, "Some unhealthy foods aren't good for the baby, right?"
"Oh! The baby isn't even born yet, and you're only thinking about the baby? Have you considered my feelings?"
Steven quickly said, "I'm afraid you'll have an upset stomach."
"I think you only care about your baby!" Laura snorted, "Do you know why I didn't tell you? Because you would definitely control me, not letting me eat this or touch that."
Steven said, "Being pregnant requires attention, right?"
"I don't care! I'm not that delicate, if I can't eat what I want, I'll be very upset! Let's agree, you can't control me, or I won't keep it!"
Steven looked at her and asked, "Why did you suddenly want a baby?"
"I want to give it a try." Laura said, "Didn't you all say that not every pregnant woman has severe reactions? I thought, if the reaction isn't strong, then I can handle it."
Steven couldn't help but hug her again. "Honey, thank you."
Laura snorted lightly.
Steven said, "Shall we go home?"
Laura said, "But I really want to eat Stuart's Tom Yum."
Steven said, "I'll learn from him now and make it for you."
"Okay!"
She took out her phone and called Josephine, "You guys come down, we're leaving."
Stuart and Josephine were upstairs, thinking Steven might be angry, or at least they would argue a bit.
They were wondering if they should go downstairs to mediate.
But it turned out, the two of them were fine.
Laura had hidden it from Steven for several days, and Steven wasn't angry.
Stuart thought, Steven really had a good temper.
But now that Laura was pregnant, he probably didn't dare to get angry with her.
He had always been very accommodating to her, and now that she was pregnant, he would be even more reluctant to say anything.
Downstairs, Steven directly asked Stuart, "How do you make that Tom Yum? Tell me."
Stuart took him to the kitchen and explained how to make it.
Josephine asked Laura, "Did you tell him?"
"I did."
"He didn't react?"
"He was very happy."
"Not angry?"
"I'm giving him a child, why would he be angry?"
Josephine said, "What do you mean you're giving him a child? Isn't the child yours, too?"
"Half of it is his." Laura said, "He wouldn't dare to be angry!"
"With your bad temper, only Steven can tolerate it."
"What's wrong with my temper?" Laura said, "I'm telling you, not telling him was a wise move; he would control me."
"Isn't it right for him to control you? I haven't even mentioned it, you're pregnant, you need to be extra careful, you can't just do whatever you want."
"I know." Laura said, "I'll be careful."
Laura was quite happy at first because she didn't seem to have any early pregnancy reactions.
Who knew, retribution would come quickly?
