My Sweet Seduction novel Chapter 31

I WOKE UP early Monday to prepare for my maternity checkup with an ob-gyn.

I simply bun my hair into a half braid. A little make-up and lip tint are also applied to improve my simplicity. I was also wearing a basic red shoulder strap with flat shoes.

I smiled when I heard the doorbell rang from outside the door. I pulled my sling bag vigorously and quickly opened the door.

“Peter?!” I suddenly paused for a bit seconds. “Oh, hi!” The shock was undeniable in my voice. I know he’s the one behind the door, but when I saw how handsome he is today, I feel like I have been blank for a while.

He stood in the doorway, wearing a huge smile on his face. “Are you ready?”

I blink my eyes and nod.

“Can I have your hand please, beautiful lady?” he extended his arm to reach mine, which I freely gave.

I couldn’t help but laugh at his gesture, and I find him cute.

He offered me to see a gynecologist because he said he knew a doctor who could help me. At first, I was embarrassed, but he encouraged me to do so. Ever since he found out I was pregnant, he was always calling to check on me. He even brought me some fruits and fresh milk so that the baby in my womb would grow up healthy.

“Are you feeling nervous?” Peter asked me.

I simply nod because of the nervousness in my chest while Peter was sitting next to me. I clasped my hand tightly and looked at him nervously.

“Peter, can we just not continue this?”

“What?” he chuckled and glared straight into my eyes.

“Look around. You’re not the only one who pregnant here. There are many of you.” He glanced at some pregnant women sitting in a row not far from us.

Most of the women are here are pregnant too. The stomachs of others are almost too big, and I think they will soon deliver a baby. I swallowed forcefully and tried to smile at the woman in front of me.

“Oh, you’re such a lucky wife to have your husband with you,” said the pregnant woman in front of me.

I immediately felt the warmth on both cheeks because of what she said.

“Actually, it’s our first baby!” Peter looked at me when he spoke.

I couldn’t help but widen my eyes. I also pinched him on the side, so he laughed a little. “What?” he almost whispered to me.

“Shut up, Monteverde.” I sighed

“Oh, these kids, maybe you’re newlywed. Am I right?” an old woman asked us. Next to her was a younger woman who was also pregnant like me.

“How did you find out, Ma’am?” Peter asked the older woman.

She could not help but smile. “Because you look sweet,” she replied quickly.

I shut my lips tight. Those few words made me slow down, but only for a moment. Sweet? Where is the sweet in there?

“Where did you find your husband? I also want someone a husband as handsome as yours?” Suddenly a woman chuckled. I think she was with the pregnant woman who was in front of me.

But I said nothing and laughed a little. Peter cleared his throat, and he hadn’t replied. It’s good that my name was called inside so we said goodbye to them.

The inside of the clinic is air-conditioned, but my sweat is dripping from my forehead because of nervousness.

“Relax . . .” Peter holds my hand tight.

I nodded and waited for the doctor to speak.
