The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 701

Ferris reached into his pocket and pulled out a piece of chocolate, handing it to him. "Do you like chocolate?"

"I love it!" The little boy took it, his eyes crinkling into happy crescents.

Perhaps it was the chocolate, but the boy's words grew even sweeter. "Sir, I hope you and this lady stay together forever and have a baby soon. Can you have a little girl? Then I can come over to your house and play with her!"

That escalated quickly. Just a moment ago, he was asking if we were going shopping, and now he was asking us to produce a baby sister for him.

In that instant, panic seized my chest. My hand subconsciously moved to my still-flat stomach, and I quickly darted a glance at Ferris to gauge his reaction.

There really was a child growing inside me—mine and Ferris's.

He just didn't know it yet.

After hearing the boy's words, Ferris smiled, his eyes curving with amusement, and looked at me tenderly.

It was a perfectly normal reaction, showing no signs of suspicion.

It seemed he truly had no idea about my pregnancy.

My racing heart slowly settled. Just as I opened my mouth to reply, I saw him gently push up his glasses. He offered a devastatingly gentle smile. "Of course we can. What's your name? When the baby has her one-month celebration, I'll invite you to come. How does that sound?"

My heart plummeted and stopped beating entirely. I whipped my head around to stare at him in sheer disbelief.

What did this man just say? He said one-month celebration.

Did he already know something? Why else would he say that?

He made it sound as though we already had a child on the way, ready to be born.
