Chapter 202
The next morning, when Ines woke up, Ethan was no longer by her side. Thinking back to
everything that happened yesterday, it felt like she was in a dream. She couldn''t help but gently
touch her belly.
When Ethan entered the room and saw that Ines was awake, he couldn''t help but walk over, bent
down and gave her a kiss on the cheek, "Mrs. Meyer, you''ve been through a lot. Did our little one
cause you any difortst night?"
Ines pushed him away with augh, "Did you forget everything I taught you yesterday? The baby is
only one month old, there''s no way it could have made me ufortable."
Ethan knew this, of course. He just couldn''t resist asking.

After breakfast, Ethan drove Ines to the Galeana Group as usual. He insisted that she wear ts,
even though she insisted she could wear heels and even tried to sweet-talk him into it, but Ethan
was not to be swayed.
This man could be stubborn about certain things.
When they got out of the car, Ethan handed Ines a box of food. Ines looked at him questioningly,
"What''s this?"
Ethan smiled, "It''s some fruit I prepared for you. From now on, I''ll prepare it for you every day."
Ines recognized the handiwork of Lucas, delivered undoubtedly at dawn''s first light. She turned to
Ethan, shaking her head lightly, "I believe mom has a point; our home truly requires an additional
pair of hands." Lucas shouldn''t be burdened with such trivial tasks; it seemed an inefficient use of
his time and energy.
"Mom will take care of it, it''s nothing we need to worry about. Remember, you need to rest now.
Every half hour of reading documents, you should get up and move around. Don''t stay in one
position for too long, it''s bad for your cirction. Also, no more coffee for you, you need to drink
more water..."
Ethan was saying a lot, and Ines quickly cut him off, "Ethan, I know. I will take care, I won''t be
irresponsible with my health." Ines noticed that there were several more potted nts in her office,
making the room feel fresh and vibrant.
When Ss saw Inesing in, he smiled and said, "Ms. Galeana, I asked the flowerpany
yesterday, and they said these nts are beneficial for pregnant women, so I had them send some
over." In reality, this was Hunter''s idea, but Ss didn''t dare say so, in case it ruined Ines''s good
mood.
"You really didn''t have to do that. I won''t be staying here for long." Ines nned to hand over her
work to Hunter when he returned and then go home to rest.
"No matter how long you''re here, we have to take care of things like this. Especially since it''s the
first three months. If thepany waspletely stable now, I wouldn''t let youe to the office,
I''m really sorry."
Ines shook her head, "Don''t say that, it wasn''t something you could have predicted, it''s just a
coincidence." Who could have predicted she would be pregnant now? It was a surprise, to say
the least.
Ss nodded, "Chairman is recovering well from his treatment, he''ll be back on time and then you
can go home and rest, Ms. Galeana."
The Galeana Group was actually running smoothly internally, even without Hunter being around
recently.
Ines started dealing with the documents at hand, and she found it wasn''t as difficult as she thought
it would be. It felt like she''d done this many times before, and she was veryfortable with it.
Even Ss was taken aback by Ines'' elerated learning curve, "Ms. Galeana, you truly possess a
ir for this. Your progress over these few years is remarkable."
Ines gave a small smile, "It seems running apany isn''t as hard as I thought."
By the time Ethan called at lunch, Ines had already started eating the food the Galeana family had
sent.
"Ethan, don''t worry, Eda has already brought me food. She has experience with raising children."
Ines was eating and talking to Ethan on the phone at the same time.
Ethan frowned, he knew Eda from Ines''s description. She was one of the few people in the Galeana
family who treated Ines well, but he still couldn''t rest easy, "Ines, apart from telling Ss, don''t let
anyone else know about your pregnancy."
Hearing this, Ines paused, "Are you worried they''ll do something to harm me?"
"It''s a special time now, and they''re bound to be anxious without Hunter. They might do something
to harm you. Don''t touch anything the Galeana family sends in the future, and don''t let them
prepare anything either." Ethan exined in detail.
"Ethan, you''re being too nervous."
"Ines, listen to me. We need to be careful at times like this. Once the nanny arrives, you can leave
your diet to her. I''ll have her bring you meals on time." Ethan said seriously.
Ines could only agree. After hanging up, she couldn''t help but look at Ss, "Please keep my
pregnancy a secret, don''t let them know."
"Don''t worry, Ms. Galeana, I know what I should do. I won''t let them find out." Ss had already
made up his mind.
"That''s good." Ines sighed in relief.
"Don''t worry, I won''t let Eda cook for you anymore, in case Shirley finds out about your pregnancy."
"That''s probably for the best, so they don''t get suspicious."
"Ms. Galeana, if you''re tired, you can go to the rest room for a while. I''ve had it cleaned up already."
"I''m fine."
Upon uttering those words, Ines noticed the box Ethan had presented her that morning. A small
smile graced her lips as she lifted the lid, revealing pristine cherries. Selecting one, she savored its
vor - a delightful fusion of sour and sweet that tantalized her taste buds.
After eating one cherry, Ines realized that Ss was still in the office. She felt a bit embarrassed and
turned to Ss, "You should try some cherries, they''re really fresh."
Ss shook his head, "You enjoy them, Ms. Galeana. My teeth aren''t too good, I can''t eat sour
food."
"Oh, then I''ll eat them myself."
Ss took a look at her and couldn''t help but say, "Miss, you''re thinking is pretty thorough. Cherries
are packed with vitamins, you should totally eat more right now."
"This was prepared by Ethan." Ss paused for a moment, thenughed, "Ethan really has an eye
for detail, even caught on to this little thing."
