If Ste was indeed pregnant, what would be of this child?


    With a furrowed brow, Matthew realized it was time to have a serious conversation with Ste.


    Upon his arrival at Prosper Bay, Matthew’s eyes scanned the surroundings, but Ste was nowhere to be seen.


    Instead, he saw Oliver.Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    Despite his surprise, Matthew maintained hisposure and greeted Oliver politely.


    Oliver reciprocated the politeness before ncing at his watch and inquiring, “Why have you returned at this hour? It’s still within working hours, isn’t it?”


    “I have something I need to attend to,” Matthew replied sinctly and nced around the living room, noting that Oliver was the only one present.


    Matthew inquired, “Is Ste not at home?”


    Oliver shrugged helplessly and exined, “She left with Juliette after Lunch.


    They looked mysterious, and I’m not sure where they went.


    They didn’t allow me to apany them.


    ”


    As soon as Oliver finished speaking, Ste and Juliette entered, engaged in lively conversation andughter.


    Upon hearing the voices, Matthew turned around to see Ste and Juliette chatting animatedly, their hands sped together, clearly in high spirits.


    A frown creased Matthew’s brow.


    He couldn’t help but wonder if Ste’s buoyant mood was indeed linked to her pregnancy.


    Noticing Matthew’s early return, Ste eximed in surprise, “Why are you back so soon today?”


    She cast a nce at Juliette, her smile widening.


    “But you’ve returned just in time.


    I have some wonderful news to share with you…”


    Before Ste could finish her sentence, Matthew interjected, “What news? About the pregnancy? Have you decided to keep the baby?”


    Consumed by anxiety, Matthew failed to detect the ner


    ous tremor in his voice.


    “How did you find out?” Ste was taken aback.


    Assuming Matthew already knew about Juliette’s pregnancy, she replied, “Of course, we must give birth to the baby.


    ”


    Matthew’s frown deepened, his expression growing even more somber.


    With a tentative tone, Matthew asked, “Darling, can we postpone having kids for a while?”


    Ste’s expression instantly turned somber after she heard Matthew’s words.


    It became clear that he had rushed home from work, thinking she was the one expecting, only to discuss the possibility of an abortion.


    Previously, they had a standoff regarding the idea of having a child.


    Now that their bond had grown stronger, Ste had thought that Matthew would warm up to the idea of starting a family.


    However, his stance seemed unchanged.


    Without uttering a word, Ste simply gazed at Matthew, her disappointment evident.
