President's Substitute Wife novel Chapter 228

The next morning, I got up and packed my things.

I found a dress that wasn’t too afraid of folds. After that, except for a few regular clothes and two sets of swimwear in my luggage, it was all cosmetics.

I hoped I can be as pretty as possible that day.

When I packed my things, I cooked myself a bowl of noodles.

I was going to put on some perfume, and when I just opened the lid.

I can not help feeling sick!

I rushed to the bathroom right away.

But I didn’t spit out anything.

I was familiar with the feeling!

I took out the mobile phone to calculate the date. It’s been over half a month since my menstrual period should come. And I have been busy submitting my resume recently.

It was a real accident.

When I was going to Sean’s wedding, I was pregnant.

My third child with Sean.

I forced myself to eat the noodles.

As soon as I sat down to rest, Ming came and asked me, “Can we go?”

“Yes.” I tried to cheer up.

Ming drove. When the car left the neighborhood and passed the pharmacy, I hesitated and shouted, “Can you stop the car? I'll buy some medicine.”

He stopped so I went to the drugstore and bought a pregnancy test.

I secretly put it in my bag.

When we got to the airport, all the luggage was checked. Ming and I were walking between duty free shops.

At this time, all brands were offering limited editions for Valentine’s Day, and women seemed to have no resistance to limited edition products.

After visiting the store for a long time and thinking about my wallet, I ended up choosing only one limited-edition eyeshadow.

It was red.

I had very few eyeshadow in this color.

It was a challenge to me.

Ming handed the card to the clerk when I checked out.

I quickly stopped Ming and said to the clerk, “Please pay with my credit card.”

As I was talking, I wanted to take my wallet from the bag. When I was in a hurry, the wallet was taken out, and the pregnancy test stick on the top fell out.

Seeing the pregnancy test stick, Ming froze. Then he pushed my wallet back with a gentle smile, “How can you still pay when you come out with me? Do you want the salesperson to look down on me?”

“...”

At this point, I did not argue with him, and quickly bent over to put the pregnancy test stick back in the bag.

My face was flushed unknowingly.

When the bill was over, Ming and I went to the first class lounge and waited for the waiter to bring us two cups of tea. Ming took a sip of tea before asking me, “Is this child Sean? How long have you been pregnant?”

“Two months.” I held the teacup and looked at Ming. “Please do not tell Sean about it. It is my own child. It has nothing to do with him.”

Ming looked at me in silence at first.

Then he sighed and said, “Do not you think you are being selfish?”

“Selfish?”

“Some of the patients in our hospital are single mothers. Although mothers are sometimes omnipotent, an imperfect family is also unfair to children.”

Was that so?

I could not help hesitating because of Ming’s words.

But Sean was getting married. I can’t ask him responsible for the baby.

That must have hurt Cindy, too.

And Sean was not necessarily responsible. Maybe he just gave money.

If it was a son, he would have taken him away.
