Chapter 206 Overjoyed
After the meeting, Susan applied for leave and went to the hospital.
She did not seek any personal privileges and waited for her blood draw result just like everybody
else did.
However, even so, it was not long before she got her report.
After the doctor scanned through her report, a smile hopped onto his lips as he said,
"Congrattions Mrs. Shaw. The report shows that you''ve been pregnant for a month already."
Susan’s brain was still stuck back in the delicious quagmire of good news even after she came out
of the hospital.
She was pregnant. The result of the test strips was urate. A tiny life was being fostered within
her, and she was going to be a mother.
Slowly, ever slowly, the realization hit her, filling her with such a sense of great exhration that she
thought her heart was going to explode. A smile crossed her face and she raised her head to look
into the sky. She felt like she was dreaming.
She did not go to Lanyard anymore but went home directly.
Julian had note back from work yet.
Sitting on the couch, Susan caressed her stomach in a loving manner. She could not suppress her
grin.
Mama Jean had never seen Susan in this state before. Piqued by her curiosity, she asked, "Is there
any good news you want to share with us, Miss Susan?”
"Well, there is one good news I would like to share, but ..." Susan smiled, "Let’s wait until Julian
comes back first."
Julian was her husband. He was supposed to be the first person to know about the pregnancy, but
something unexpected happened and A became the first person to know about the news. Since
Julian could not be first, at the very least she wanted him to b e the second. As such, she nned
to keep her pregnancy a secret until Julian returned home.
Susan thought she would have to wait until evening to see Julian. Never did she expect that he
woulde back in the afternoon.
The moment Julian rushed into the house, he went straight up to Susan. Concern was written all
over his face as he asked, "Susie, your colleagues told me that you returned home when I went to
pick you up for lunch. Are you all alright?"
However, Susan did not reply and merely smiled at him with a wide, radiant grin.
Julian was thrown into the loop when he saw the grin on Susan''s face. He did not know what had
gotten into her, so he just tapped her with his finger and queried,"
Why are you smiling at me?" "Ahem!" Susan cleared her throat, putting on a serious expression
before saying, "Julian, I have a very important thing to tell you."
Julian was a little taken aback by her serious expression. "What''s the matter?"
"I guess I can''t enjoy the world of two with you anymore," Susan sighed.
"Why is it so?" Julian asked.
Throwing him a sidelong nce, Susan continued," Because we''re going to wee the third
person into our family.”
"The third person? Who is it?" Julian pressed on, his face still clouded over in confusion.
Susan did not know whether tough or get angry at him. She had given him so many clues, yet he
still failed to get it.
''Why is he so dumb? And yet he calls himself a CEO?’ Susan chided Julian inwardly. 1

Frowning disapprovingly, she said, "Think about it yourself."
Julian’s mind was a muddled mess. He tried to think over the things she said, yet he could not grasp
it. He stood frozen stiff on the spot with a nk expression o n his face and he looked like a deer
caught in headlights.
Mama Jean was tickled pink when she saw Julian''s befuddled state. Chuckling, she then went
forward and rescued him from his predicament, "Mr. Julian, it means Miss Susan is pregnant! She
said she can’t enjoy the world of two with you anymore because you’re having a child! It''ll be a
family of three!"
''Susan... is pregnant?''
The news came as a bombshell and Julian was stunned to his core. He looked disbelievingly at
Susan and his voice was shaking when he tried to talk, "Susie ... You... You''re pregnant?"
It was really rare to see Julian lose hisposure, and Susan felt this was the perfect opportunity
to record this moment down. She took out her phone and took a photo of him. Then, she gave him a
surreptitious gaze and said, "What do you think?"
"I... I..." Julian stammered. He tried to talk, but the words were stuck in his brain without being able
to force themselves out of his mouth.
Susan waited patiently for him toe around to his senses.
Suddenly, he blurted, "Wait for me here!" Then, he dashed out of the house.
Susan was shocked to the marrow by his reaction. She watched with her mouth wide open and she
could not say anything for a long time.
After a while, she turned to Mama Jean and asked,"
Mama Jean, what is he doing?"
Hearing her question, Mama Jean cleared her throat and said, "I guess... Mr. Julian is just too
excited."
''Well, he doesn''t have to run away even if he''s excited... I
Just when Susan was lost for words, Julian returned.
All traces of cosmic shock were gone from his face. His eyes were bright, his gaze was stern, and
there he seemed to be coated in an air of confidence as he walked up to Susan.
"Hm?" Susan looked at him.
"I heard what you said,” Julian said sternly, "Now that you''re pregnant, there are a lot of things we
need to prepare. First, we have to inform both of our rtives, your brother, and my mother right
now. The baby will be born in a few months'' time, so we need to prepare something in advance.
Lastly, we have to bring forward our wedding before your belly gets toorge. Our wedding must be
grand and there must not be a single sloppy ditch, so I''ll get my men to start the preparations right
away. I assure you everything will b e done in two months, and Susie, you only have to psych
yourself up and be ready to marry me when the timees."
His speech was well-organized, but Susan did not know why it gave her a hunch that he was
reading from a script.
She blinked her eyes, and she realized that he would peek at his palm whenever he finished a
sentence.
Amused by Julian, she slowly rose to her feet. Then, before Julian realized anything, she grabbed
his wrist and turned his palm upward, revealing the cheat sheet in his hand.
Inform rtives, child''s stuff, wedding...
Susan could not help herselfughing. She did not know why Julian would need a cheat sheet to
remind him of the things that he wanted to say.
"Stopughing at me!" Julian glowered as he withdrew his hand back.
Ever since Susan told him she was pregnant, he was s o nervous that he could not think straight.
Up until now, his palm was still sweating.
He had practiced the speech a thousand times, yet he feared that he would forget when the time
came. That was why he prepared himself a cheat sheet.
"Alright, alright. I’ll stopughing now," Susan said, though the smile never left her lips.
Julian shot another nce at her. This time, she could not hold herself anymore and burst out into a
great fit ofughter.
Julian was beyond speechless seeing how happy Susan was.
"Stopughing, Susie. You’ll get tired," he said.
Susan tried to suppress herself, yet the merriment was still apparent in her eyes when she looked at
Julian.
"Julian, it''s such a rare sight to see you so nervous." "Rare sight?" Julian raised his brow, "I''ve
never been s o nervous before."
He took a seat next to Susan and gently hovered his palm over her stomach. "Susie, we''re going to
have a kid."
His voice was deep and soft. It was as if he was afraid of waking something up.
Susan’s heart melted when she noticed that his usually rigid jawline had softened.
She wondered how fast things had changed. Neither she nor Julian was like this in the beginning. It
was time, love, and patience that made them try to learn how to adapt to each other and shaped
them into what they were today.
Right now, an angel was about to appear in their life. They had to learn together how to love this
new member that was going to join them soon.
Truth be told, Susan was a little queasy. However, at the same time, she was looking forward to it
too.
Even though they were inexperienced, Susan believed that both of them would do their best to be a
good parent.
Wee to our family, my dear baby.
