Chapter 1844 Pregnant
In Chanaea, the party continued. Arielle, Susanne, and Vinson were seated by a table and eating. Knowing that Arielle loved eating fish, Susanne took a piece of fish meat and placed it on her plate.
Arielle smiled at Susanne before lowering her head to dig in. All of a sudden, the fish scent seemed too intense, and she whipped her head to the side.
Covering her mouth, she dashed to the washroom. Her abrupt actions worried Vinson and Susanne, who quickly followed her. The Wilhelms went after her as well. Arielle was sprawled on the basin, but she could not vomit anything out.
“Sannie, let me take you to the hospital,” Vinson uttered, wanting to bring her there the moment he saw her like that. However, Susanne, who had shared a delighted look with Andrea, stopped him. She then walked over to Arielle and whispered something in her ear. Almost immediately, Arielle’s eyes widened, and she put her hand on her wrist to take her own pulse.
“Mom…” “Sannie, am I going to be a grandmother?” Susanne asked as she stared at the excited Arielle.
Exhilarated to the point she could not speak, Arielle nodded, and her nod made Susanne even more ecstatic. Susanne then turned to her son and patted him. “Why are you still standing there? Didn’t you hear that Sannie’s pregnant? Why aren’t you sending her home yet?”
The truth was that Vinson was stunned by the news of him becoming a father. Although he had long prepared himself for that possibility, the news still came too suddenly for him. After Susanne’s pat brought him back to his senses, he whipped his head to face Arielle, about to send her home.
“It’s Mom’s birthday party today. It won’t look too good if I were to leave early,” Arielle said, thinking of leaving with the rest when the party was over. Nevertheless, Susanne rejected her.
“What’s bad about that? You won’t eat or rest well here. Hurry up and let Vinson send you back. Tell Helma to make whatever you want to eat. If there’s anything Helma doesn’t know how to make, get Vinson to buy it for you. Don’t ever let yourself starve.” Indeed, Arielle had been busying away for a few hours; she had only drunk some water and did not even have the time to eat anything.
“Sannie, your mother-in-law is right. Go back with Vin and rest first,” Andrea persuaded as she ruffled Arielle’s hair. Her daughter was about to become a mother after all.
Arielle found herself unable to reject the others at their insistence, so she went home with Vinson.
When Susanne returned to the hall, the curious people asked her what had happened to Arielle. With a smile on her face, Susanne told them that she was going to become a grandmother. The moment she said that, the congratulatory wishes came. Everyone said that she was favored by fortune to hear the news of her grandchild on her birthday. Naturally, Susanne was elated as well. It was the best birthday gift she had ever received.
Meanwhile, on Arielle’s way back, Vinson kept a grim look on his face. That confused Arielle, but she waited until they were home before coldly asking, “Vinson, do you not want the baby?”
Vinson was baffled by her question. What do you mean by I don’t want the baby?
Hence, he voiced his thought out loud. “What do you mean by that?”
“You looked so grim the entire way home; you didn’t even look happy. Why else would you have that look on your face unless you don’t want the baby?” Arielle huffed.
A resigned chuckle escaped Vinson. As he pulled her into his arms, he explained, “I was driving. Now that you have a baby in you, I have to be extra careful when I drive. That’s why I didn’t dare to chat on our way back. The only thought in my head was to send you back safely.”
