CHAPTER 224: A TERRIBLE MISTAKE

Without thinking, she checked her phone and saw that it was a bank deposit message!

The message notified her that her bank account ending in XXXX had received her salary payment.

Yvonne scratched her head. Two weeks had just gone by.

She had been with Zachary for the last two weeks and hadn’t felt the lack of money.

And now, the moment she landed, her pay had arrived!

Immediately, she glanced at the man beside her with new eyes. "Zachary, what was the true purpose of taking me on a honeymoon?"

The man held a child in one hand and led another by the band. His smile looked particularly handsome under the bright sun.

"What other motive could I have other than taking you and the children out for some fun?"

"Are you sure?"

Zachary’s gaze deepened.

"Yes. To make out."

"I’m not talking about that!"

Yvonne immediately blushed at his blatant teasing.

Holding her phone in one hand, she went over and tugged on his sleeve.

"Were you... worried that I didn’t have any money and so you stayed with me this entire time and paid for everything? So then I wouldn’t have to go work."

He smiled and didn’t say anything.

Yvonne felt a warmth in her heart.

"I know you didn’t want to use my card at this time, so I used it for you."

Yvonne couldn’t help but feel touched and she threw herself into his arms.

"Honey!"

She tried to put all her thoughts and words into this hug.

To the side, Daniel covered giggle with his hand and thoughtfully released his father’s hand so he could hug her back.

Angela also thoughtfully wriggled out of Zachary’s arms and went to her brother instead.

In the shadow of the plane, the man and the woman hugged each other tightly.

After returning from her honeymoon, Yvonne felt like a new person.

She hadn’t relaxed like this in a long time.

After two weeks of vacation, she was completely re-energized!

However, she quickly discovered a very serious problem.

Her period was late.

For two whole weeks!

Yvon’s period had never been like clockwork and it was always a few days late.

Back when she was still in school and going through puberty, it had been delayed a month due to stress, so she didn’t think much about it.

She put it out of her mind until she realized that she was becoming tired very easily.

When she had a meeting in the morning, she would always be tired by noon, no matter how much coffee she drank.

She worried that there was something wrong with her and quickly thought of a possibility - pregnancy!

Feeling uneasy, Yvonne quickly bought a pregnancy test.

The Taylor Mansion.

While a nanny looked after Emma, Yesmina personally went to the kitchen and made some chicken soup. She wanted something nutritious for Yvonne and Zachary after their long vacation.

Yvonne took the pregnancy test with her, thinking that she would do the test after she went home from dinner.

It had to be said that Yesmina had changed a lot in the last few years.

The delicious spread on the dinner table was all made by Yesmina herself. After Frank received his new kidney, Yesmina had taken even better care of him.

"Mom, you’re so talented!"

"I agree." Zachary was also amazed.

"Grandma, you’re amazing! You cook so much better than mom!" Angela said as she buried her head into her food.

Yesmina laughed and a festive air surrounded the table.

"Ugh... "

At this moment, Yvonne felt a wave of nausea rise in her throat.

"I just need the restroom!"

With this, she hurriedly left.

No one noticed anything unusual about her. Meanwhile, Yesmina spilled hot soup on her hand as she ladled a bowl for Frank. Seeing this, Frank felt his heart ache.

"Quick, grab a napkin!"

However, there were no napkins to be seen on the table.

Frank’s gaze immediately landed on Yvonne’s handbag.

"Zachary, check to see if Yvonne carries any napkins in her bag."

...

Zachary never looked through Yvonne’s belongings.

However, he also didn’t want other men going through his wife’s things, even if that man was her father.

Thus, Zachary reached into her bag and touched a strange box.

He maneuvered around the box and pulled out a packet of napkins.

However...

What was that strange box?

As Frank helped Yesmina clean up, he touched her forehead and found it a bit hot.

"Yesmina, are you running a fever?"

"No?" Yesmina replied with confusion.

"Your forehead is a little hot."

"Really?" She touched her head and couldn’t feel anything different.

"You should take your temperature to make sure," Frank said.

"The thermometer is by the bed," Yesmina said, "it’s a digital one and it looks like a stick."

"OK, no problem." Frank nodded and went upstairs to get the thermometer.

Yesmina sat with Zachary at the table.

Before long, Frank came back with the thermometer in his hand.

"Here, honey."

With that, he took the cap off the "thermometer". Immediately, Yesmina’s expression changed. "Ah... "

Frank was also stunned. "Why... is this thermometer so strange? Why is the tip made of paper? Shouldn’t it be made of metal... ?"

Holding the pregnancy test, he became to examine it right in front of Zachary. Frank had no idea what it was. Yesmina wished she could rip it out of his hand! Idiot! Why did he bring this down?

Zachary had never seen a pregnancy test before but looking at Yesmina’s blush he could make an educated guess.

It was at this moment that Yvonne came back from the bathroom.

She had just recovered from her nausea when she saw her father waving a pregnancy test around at the dinner table.

Damn it!

Yvonne felt as if the sky had come crashing down.

What a sight!

Yvonne wished she could crawl into a hole and never come out.

"D-d-d-d-dad, what are you doing?"

Frank was confused. "What’s wrong?"

"Who allowed you to go through my bag?"

Yvonne rushed forward and snatched the pregnancy test from his hand. Her face was bright red!

Her action surprised everyone.

Yesmina left a pregnancy test by her bed and Frank had grabbed it thinking it was a thermometer.

As for Yvonne...

Where did she get a pregnancy test from?

Did that mean...

Zachary thought of the strange box he touched in her bag.

Combined with her current reaction, he immediately understood.

Yvonne thought that the pregnancy test in Frank’s hand had come from her bag!

In other words, Yvonne had a pregnancy test in her bag! She thought she was pregnant!

Zachary immediately stood and grabbed Yvonne’s hand.

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"Dad, mom, Yvonne isn’t feeling well today. I’m taking her home now."

With such a mistake, Yesmina wanted nothing more than for Zachary to leave. It was so awkward for him to have seen such a thing!

Yvonne thought the pregnancy test was hers and naturally didn’t want her father to know about such a thing. She also wanted to get away from the awkwardness.

Only Frank was still confused.

"Are... you leaving so soon?"

"You haven’t even finished your soup!"

"Hmph!"

Yvonne glared at her father angrily and immediately left with Zachary.

Frank looked on in confusion.

...

After his daughter and son-in-law left, Frank still didn’t understand Yvonne’s last huff at him.

"Why did she do that just now? Did I do something wrong?"

Yesmina rolled her eyes and grabbed his ear as she stood up.

"You! Do you have any common sense?"

"What’s wrong with me now?" Frank asked with bewilderment.

"Can’t you take a look at what you grabbed before you bring it down? How could you think that it’s a thermometer?"

"Then what is it?"

"It’s a... "

Yesmina blushed and couldn’t finish what she was saying.

Finally, she managed to squeeze out the words. "It’s used to check for pregnancy!"

"Check for pregnancy?"

Frank thought for a moment, recalling the shape of the item

Instantly, Frank turned even redder than Yesmina.

"Wha... what?"

Yesmina felt very annoyed.

She had bought that test about a year ago, when she had been pregnant with Emma.

Back then, she had used one test and found out she was pregnant. She hadn’t thrown out the other and it had sat by her bed until Frank brought it out today.

"Then... why was Yvonne... "

"Yvonne thought it was hers. Didn’t you hear? She asked why you went through her bag!"

At this point, Yesmina and Frank realized they had forgotten something.

After Yesmina thought it through, she glanced at Frank. "Why did Yvonne think it was hers?"

"Is Yvonne... "

Frank returned Yesmina’s gaze. "Another... "

Lord Villa

Zachary and Yvonne finally arrived home.

Yvonne’s face remained bright red the entire ride home.

Zachary was like a cat hunting a mouse as he waited for her to speak.

After returning to the bedroom, Zachary smiled meaningfully as he closed the door behind him.

Yvonne sat on the bed and stuttered her way through an explanation. "That...

pregnancy test isn’t mine."

"I know."

As he spoke, he took out the pregnancy test from her bag.

"This one is yours."

Yvonne looked at it in shock.

"How did you know about it?"

"I saw it."

He spoke lightly and then opened the box in front of her face.

"So, when were you going to do the test?"

Yvonne looked down. "... Who asks such a question?"

"I’m your husband. Who else do you think should ask?"

Yvonne still felt shy.

"How does it work?"

"When I use the bathroom, I just... "

Zachary read the instructions himself. "I see. Let’s go."

Yvonne was surprised. "What are you doing?"

"Go and test?"

"I’m doing the test. What are you doing?"

"I’m helping you."

At the thought of that scene, Yvonne felt like she would die of embarrassment.

Without a word, she snatched the pregnancy test from his hand.

"You’re crazy! I’ll do it myself!"

Five minutes later.

Zachary stood outside the door and waited out the longest five minutes of his life.

After five minutes, Yvonne still hadn’t come out.

"Yvonne?"

There was no sound inside.

"If you don’t come out, I’m going in."

Yvonne opened the door and came out.

The test was actually very quick. It only took a minute to receive the result.

Yvonne had long seen the two stripes on the test. However, she remained on the toilet, unable to face the truth.

Zachary had read the manual and it said it took five minutes, so he had asked right after five minutes.

The bathroom door opened.

A woman, a head shorter than him, looked pityingly at him with red-rimmed eyes. "Honey... I think... we’re going to have another baby."
