CHAPTER 276: CHAPTER 276: DISGUST

Recently, there hasn’t been much going on at the company. After returning home, there’s also nothing much to do. Soaked leisurely in the bathtub, my phone playing songs, completely isolating myself from outside noise.

Naturally, I didn’t know that Shawn Rhodes and Rowan Alder had returned.

When Shawn Rhodes came back, he inquired about Susan Wilde’s arrival time from the security guard. Seizing the moment when Rowan Alder was taking a bath, he went downstairs and knocked on Susan Wilde’s door, but no one responded for a long time.

He’s not someone with much patience, so he rummaged for the spare key and directly pushed open the door.

Scanning the room but not finding Susan Wilde, he noticed the light from the bathroom.

The bathroom is partitioned with frosted glass, and the door is a sliding one without a lock.

When the door was forcefully pushed open, Susan Wilde, lying in the bathtub with her eyes closed listening to music, was startled and opened her eyes to see a man standing in front of her.

She hurriedly grabbed the towel folded beside her to cover her body, looking at Shawn Rhodes in confusion.

Seeing his angry demeanor, she had no idea what she did to displease him.

"Where did you go tonight?" Shawn Rhodes asked, looking at her.

Susan Wilde sat up defensively. Fortunately, the bathtub was filled with foam, so she wasn’t too embarrassed and replied calmly, "Had dinner with friends."

"Were you out looking for men, hmm?"

"We already discussed this yesterday. I don’t want to repeat it again."

"You don’t want to repeat it again... Susan Wilde, I think you’re living too leisurely, really taking yourself seriously, huh."

Susan Wilde knew the difference in strength between her and him, and he wasn’t someone who showed tenderness, at least not to her.

She didn’t dare to provoke him, simply said, "Could you please leave first?"

Shawn Rhodes looked down at her. Although there was a towel and foam for cover and nothing inappropriate was visible, there was still a certain allure.

Shawn Rhodes was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly realized something, turned back, and taunted, "You cover up a lot in front of me, but probably not very modest with other men."

"Whatever you say. If you want, I can serve you tonight too, but I’m afraid you won’t have a good explanation to Rowan Alder then."

"Disgusting." He threw these words before turning and walking out.

Susan Wilde breathed a sigh of relief, immediately got up, put on her bathrobe, and when she walked out, his voice was already gone.

She vaguely heard Rowan Alder’s voice coming from the living room. Initially, it was just normal conversation, but later it turned into something indescribable.

Anyone unaware might think they were watching a romance action film, and Rowan Alder seemed to deliberately make her voice loud for Susan Wilde to hear, exaggeratingly so.

Susan Wilde wanted to go out to pour a glass of water but didn’t dare to, so she just put on earphones and found a movie to watch.

Shannon Quinn’s wedding date is approaching day by day, and what needs to be prepared has mostly been prepared.

In the morning, Shannon Quinn got up, not bothering to wear shoes, and found Landon Sutton who was making breakfast in the kitchen: "Honey."

"Hmm?"

"I’ve discovered something very serious."

Landon Sutton put down the spatula, turned around worriedly to look at her, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

"My period is overdue, by more than ten days!"

Landon Sutton froze for a moment, then laughed: "Could it be sister has arrived?"

Looking down at her belly, he noticed she wasn’t wearing shoes and immediately reprimanded, "Quick, go put on your shoes."

He said this, but he was the one who went out first to the bedroom to get her slippers, placing them in front of her, watching her obediently put them on, and then said, "After breakfast, I’ll take you to the hospital for a check-up."

"Need to be on an empty stomach."

"Then let’s go now."

"What about Leo?"

"We’ll buy him breakfast on the way out later and send him directly to school."

After sending Leo to kindergarten early in the morning, Landon Sutton drove Shannon Quinn straight to the hospital.

He originally wanted to find his friend, but Shannon Quinn said to just follow the hospital’s regular procedure, also allowing him to feel this kind of nervous anticipation.

When she was pregnant with Leo, from conception to birth, he almost didn’t experience it, which counts as one of his regrets.

After registering, waiting in line, completing all check-ups, they sat in the hallway waiting for the results.

Shannon Quinn was quite calm, but instead, he looked very tense, making her laugh.

Landon Sutton turned to look at her, thought for a moment, and asked, "When you were pregnant with Leo, did you come alone?"

Shannon Quinn shook her head, "At that time, I was afraid you’d find out, so Rona took me to her friend’s place for a check-up, but I was still very nervous then."

"And now?"

Shannon Quinn looked at him, smiled, shook her head, and said, "Not now."

Landon Sutton held her hand and asked again, "Do you feel any difference in your body compared to usual?"

"No."

"Guess the time is still relatively short."

Shannon Quinn laughed and said, "It’s not certain if I’m pregnant yet, sometimes it’s normal for a period to be ten days or half a month late, don’t get your hopes up too high."

"I think we definitely have it, Leo was conceived in one try, I’ve been so diligent these days, there’s no reason for no results."

Shannon Quinn gave him a sideways glance, "Shameless to say! If I really am pregnant, would you be able to endure for so long without being with me? Wouldn’t you go find another woman?"

"Don’t speak nonsense."

"You don’t know, the chance of a husband cheating during a wife’s pregnancy is highest!"

"It definitely won’t happen to me."

"That might not be true, if you really cheat, I’ll take Leo and our daughter far away from you."

"Stop talking nonsense, what if our daughter hears?"

"Shannon Quinn! The results are ready." A nurse shouted down the corridor, and Landon Sutton immediately stood up, taking Shannon Quinn into the office.

The doctor, holding the report, glanced at the two of them, then looked at Shannon Quinn and asked, "Shannon Quinn, right?"

Shannon Quinn nodded and sat in the chair opposite the doctor.

The doctor smiled and said, "Congratulations, you’re going to be parents. Is it your first child or second?"

Landon Sutton replied, "Second child."

"Then you should have some basic knowledge about pregnancy. According to the current check-up results, everything is normal. Remember to take good care of your diet when you go back and have regular prenatal exams."

Landon Sutton was so happy, he asked the doctor a bunch of questions about precautions and diet that Shannon Quinn felt a bit embarrassed for holding up their time, and hurriedly pulled Landon Sutton away.

All the way, he treated Shannon Quinn like a treasure, terrified she might trip, bump into something, or get hit by someone, as if after pregnancy she turned into a porcelain doll, his nervousness was rather exaggerated.

However, Shannon Quinn also felt a sense of happiness. This time, the pregnancy was not just about him experiencing the whole process of childbirth, but also a completely new experience for her compared to when she was pregnant with Leo, without the worries and concerns she had then, her mood was entirely different.
