Chapter 1633 Sophia Seems To Sense Something
Back at the Imperial Garden, Sophia scrutinized Sallyâs belly gently.
Ever since she was back from K Nation, she had been observing Sallyâs eating habits. Surprisingly, she discovered that there was not even a single bit of change in Sallyâs taste bud. Apart from that, her belly was flat as ever.
Sally, who was drinking milk on the arch-shaped sofa, sensed it and started to feel uneasy. She squeezed a smile and asked warily, âGrandma, what are you looking at?â
âI suddenly recall that when your mother-in-law and Aunt Sheila were pregnant last time, they both craved for certain types of food. I wonder why you donât seem to have changes in your taste buds, and youâre still slim as ever. Could it be you lack nutrition? Should I find ways to increase your nutrients?â Sophia explained and continued to stare at her belly.
Sally felt a rush of restlessness. Iâm not pregnant. Of course there wonât be any changes to my taste buds and belly!
âGrandma, Iâve enough consumption of nutrients. Donât worry. Iâm not lacking any.â She tried to convince Sophia.
âAre you craving any food? Iâll get the chef to prepare for you tomorrow,â Sophia asked again in great concern.
Sally replied hesitantly, âI-Iâm craving spicy fish stew.â
Spicy? A saying came into Sophiaâs mind at once. If a pregnant woman was craving sour food, the baby would be a boy. If she craved spicy food, then it would be a girl. Does that imply that Sallyâs going to have a baby girl? Anyway, it doesnât matter since this is their first child. Theyâll have other babies again for sure. Itâs just a matter of time for them to have a baby boy!
âOkay, Iâll ask the chef to prepare spicy fish stew for you tomorrow,â she told Sally excitedly.
âThanks, Grandma.â Sally expressed her gratitude courteously.
âYou donât have to thank me. Iâm more than happy because youâre bearing a child and thus building up the next generation for the Seet family. Iâll be even happier if you take great care of your health,â Sophia uttered gently.
A smile surfaced on Sallyâs face, but it was not genuine. Me bearing a child and building up the next generation? Iâm faking my pregnancy!
Right that instant, she could not resist feeling guilty for faking her pregnancy. Oh my! Grandma is taking such great care of me, but Iâm lying to her!
Kyle stared at her in amusement, as though he was watching a show. This woman is faking a pregnancy and troubling Grandma to take care of her. I wonder how sheâll explain to Grandma if the secret is revealed one day!
Sensing Kyleâs meaningful gaze, Sally lowered her head in embarrassment.
She let out a deep sigh when she suddenly remembered that Evan and Nicole would be home the following day. My goodness! There are going to be two more pairs of eyes staring at me with great concern. I bet my life will be even more challenging then. I wonder how long my fake pregnancy can last!
âItâs quite late now. Kyle, accompany Sally to bed now. A pregnant woman must have proper rest,â Sophia advised Kyle.
âAll right. Grandma, you should go to bed earlier too.â He stood up with Sally and headed back to their room.
Before Sophia was back, both of them used to stay in separate rooms. Nevertheless, she emphasized that Kyle should take great care of Sally in case the woman needed anything at night. Apart from that, she even mentioned that it did not matter for them to stay in the same room as Sally was already pregnant.
Juan also echoed by saying, âTrue indeed. Since youâll have a baby soon, thereâs no need to feel distant. What is there to be embarrassed about staying together in the same room?â
Furthermore, Skyler also advised Sally to stay together with Kyle for the sake of her status in the family. After all, she was Kyleâs wife, the spouse of the eldest heir for the Seet family in the future. If she did not stay in the same room with Kyle, the maids would look down on her too.
After pondering for a while, Sally finally decided to take Sophiaâs advice and moved into Kyleâs room.
Surprisingly, Kyle did not seem to be repulsed when she suddenly moved into his room. Even so, Sally was unaware of how he felt, as he was usually devoid of expression. Nonetheless, they had both set a rule to take turns in sleeping on the bed and floor.
After they were back in the room, Sally looked at Kyle solemnly. âItâs my turn to sleep on the floor tonight. But do you mind letting me use the bathroom first? Iâll sleep right after the shower, and I promise I wonât take long in the bathroom.â
Kyle nodded approvingly after thinking for a while.
âThank you.â Sally was over the moon and dashed toward the bathroom with her pajamas.
In the meantime, Kyle squinted as he recalled how Sally seemed to be bothered by her fake pregnancy and ended up mumbling every night. Apparently, she was worried sick about the consequence if anyone found out about it. This silly woman! Thereâs actually a solution for this. But why doesnât she get the matter resolved in that way?
