The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 470

Yulen finally snapped out of his funk and noticed how deathly pale Tallulah looked.

Remembering he still had an obligation to her, he ordered the driver to detour to the hospital so she could get checked out.

Sensing his sudden concern, Tallulah's grievances instantly evaporated.

When the test results came back, Yulen was stunned.

Tallulah was pregnant again.

Thrilled, Tallulah clung to his arm. "Yulen, didn't you always say you wanted a daughter to balance out the family? Look, our little girl is already on her way."

Yulen's feelings were entirely conflicted.

After her postpartum recovery, they hadn't been intimate for a long time. In a moment of sheer impatience, he hadn't used protection just once. But every time after that, he had worn a condom. He couldn't believe she had still gotten pregnant.

If they had another child, would Winona be furious...?

But then he remembered the absolute ice in Winona's eyes, and a wave of spite washed over him. Why should he care about Winona's feelings? He could have a dozen kids with Tallulah if he wanted to. He would make Winona regret ever looking down on him.

With news of the second pregnancy, the Locke family's treatment of Tallulah instantly did a 180.

Willow's change in attitude was the most drastic. In her traditional mindset, a daughter-in-law's career achievements meant absolutely nothing compared to giving her healthy grandchildren.

She immediately instructed the kitchen staff to start brewing nutrient-dense soups for Tallulah. Having just given birth to her first child not long ago, Tallulah's body was still recovering, and she needed heavy nourishment so the new baby could thrive.

Because of the child growing in her womb, Yulen reverted back to the gentle, attentive partner he used to be.

Tallulah felt that getting pregnant with baby number two was totally worth it—and that poking holes in the condoms had finally paid off.

On Saturday, Winona accompanied Rhea to the mall to shop for clothes.

Having gained a few pounds, Winona wanted to pick up some new pants.

Rhea teased her endlessly. "I haven't seen you gain a single pound in years, but the second you get with Mr. Goddard, you start filling out. It's a miracle."

Winona nodded. "He did. I just usually prefer using my own money for personal stuff."

Rhea's gaze sharpened. "You keep things that strictly divided with him? Doesn't he get annoyed?"

Having heard all about Stefan from Winona, Rhea knew he was nothing like Yulen. Stefan might look like a cold, ruthless billionaire to the rest of the world, but when it came to Winona, the man was hopelessly devoted. There was no way he'd be happy about her drawing lines in the sand financially.

Winona paused, remembering how Stefan had actually looked slightly displeased every time they went out and she refused to let him pay for her clothes or shoes.

Thinking it over, she realized it wasn't worth creating an emotional distance between them over something as trivial as paying a bill.

Smiling softly, she put her card away, pulled out Stefan's card, and swiped it.

Rhea playfully pinched her cheek. "I can already imagine how thrilled Stefan is going to be tonight when he gets the notification. A wife spending her husband's money is a point of pride for the husband. Any guy who's stingy with his wife deserves to be wiped out by natural selection."

Laughing, the two of them walked out of the boutique—

And bumped directly into Tallulah.
