Vivian looked at him, with a hint of questioning in her eyes, "Where did you go today?" Hearing this, Caden Hawthorne slightly frowned, was she blaming him for not being with her today? If she found out that he went to meet Yvonne York and her friends today, she might get upset with him. Besides, Vivian was pregnant now and shouldn’t get angry. Thinking of this, Caden decided not to tell Vivian for the time being. "I just went to meet a client today..." Caden felt a bit guilty when he lied. "Client? What kind of client?" Vivian felt uncomfortable knowing Caden was lying, but she had to pretend she didn’t know. Caden’s eyes flickered as he quickly thought of a response, "Just an ordinary business client, discussing some work-related matters. It’s not good for me to go into detail. You’re pregnant now, so you shouldn’t worry about these things. The most important thing is to rest well and take good care of your body and the baby." Vivian looked at Caden, feeling even more uncomfortable inside. She knew he was lying, but she didn’t want to confront him right now. She lowered her head slightly to hide her emotions and softly said, "Alright, since it’s work-related, I won’t ask more." Seeing that Vivian didn’t continue to question him, Caden secretly breathed a sigh of relief. But he noticed that Vivian’s mood seemed a bit down, which made him feel a sense of guilt. He gently held Vivian’s hand and said tenderly, "Vivian, don’t be upset. After this busy period, I’ll be with you, okay?" Vivian didn’t speak, just silently nodded. "Vivian, come on, I’ll help you upstairs to rest." Caden helped Vivian slowly get up and walk upstairs. Along the way, both were silent, the atmosphere a bit oppressive. Once in the room, Caden helped Vivian lie down on the bed and covered her with a blanket. He looked at Vivian’s somewhat weary face, feeling full of affection. "Vivian, have a good sleep, don’t think too much," Caden said softly. Vivian closed her eyes without responding. Caden thought she was blaming him for not being with her. He lay down carefully, holding her from behind. His large hand gently stroked Vivian’s round belly. "Vivian, has the baby been restless lately?" "Their movements are getting more frequent. The doctor said that in the late stages of pregnancy, I need a check-up every week." Upon hearing this, Caden frowned, looking worried, "Then I’ll accompany you to the check-up tomorrow." "Okay." Vivian responded briefly and said no more. Feeling the atmosphere was a bit off, Caden furrowed his brows, "Vivian, did I do something wrong?" This girl seemed completely different tonight, like she was sulking with him. Vivian took a deep breath, slowly turned to face Caden, her eyes slightly red, "Did you go to see Yvonne today?" Caden’s heart tightened, he didn’t expect Vivian would still know. He was silent for a moment, then gently held Vivian’s hand. "Vivian, I didn’t mean to lie to you. I went to see Yvonne to probe whether they were involved with Jessica Hart’s matter. I was afraid it would upset you if you knew, so I didn’t tell you." Caden explained anxiously, realizing she was upset about this matter. Did she perhaps see him with Yvonne and her sister at the coffee shop today? But why didn’t she rush up to question him then? He even hoped Vivian would occasionally get angry or jealous like other wives, showing she cared about him. Thinking of this, Caden’s lips curled up slightly, "Honey, are you jealous for me?" Seeing Caden still able to smile, Vivian was both furious and annoyed, feeling full of grievances, "How can you still laugh? I’m almost infuriated by you." Caden stared at her motionlessly, his lips curved, a trace of a smile appeared on his handsome face, "Of course, I’m happy because it’s the first time I’ve seen my wife be jealous for me." Upon hearing this, Vivian couldn’t hold back her tears anymore. "But you can’t lie to me. Do you know how sad I was seeing you with them?" Seeing Vivian crying, Caden panicked and hurriedly wiped her tears with heartache, "Baby, I’m sorry. My fault, I shouldn’t have gone to see other women behind your back or lied to you. I was really wrong, I’ll never lie to you again." Looking at Caden’s sincere eyes, Vivian’s grievances gradually dissipated. She leaned into Caden’s arms, sobbing, "You must remember what you said, don’t ever lie to me again." Caden embraced his delicate wife with a helpless smile, his wife seemed particularly sensitive during pregnancy, almost turning into a "little crybaby." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ nοvelfire.net He was worried Vivian would be angry and upset after knowing, so he didn’t dare to tell her, but instead, it backfired, making her even more upset and sad. Caden gently patted Vivian’s back and said softly, "Okay, I remember. I’ll be honest with you about everything in the future so you won’t be sad anymore." Vivian snuggled in Caden’s arms, her emotions gradually calming down, "Then don’t ever do this again." Caden nodded, "I definitely won’t." He looked down at Vivian, eyes full of affection, "Feeling better now? Don’t cry anymore, it’s not good for the baby." Vivian sniffed, "Yeah, much better." Caden smiled and kissed Vivian’s forehead, "That’s good. Tomorrow we’ll go for the check-up and then eat your favorite food, alright?" Vivian’s eyes brightened, "Yes." They fell asleep embraced, a warm atmosphere enveloping the room. After this little misunderstanding, their relationship seemed deeper. The next day, Caden woke up early, watching the sleeping Vivian with deep tenderness. He quietly got up to prepare breakfast for her, then returned to the room to gently wake her. "Vivian, it’s time to get up. We have an appointment for the check-up today," Caden said softly. Vivian opened her sleepy eyes, seeing Caden’s gentle smile, her mood lifted, "Okay, I’ll get up right away." Caden helped Vivian get up and picked out comfortable clothes for her. After breakfast, they went to the hospital together. At the hospital, Caden held Vivian’s hand tightly, accompanying her through the check-ups. The doctor carefully examined Vivian’s body, showing a reassuring smile. "The babies are very healthy and developing well. Keep it up, looking forward to your babies’ arrival," the doctor said. Caden and Vivian, hearing the doctor’s words, were filled with joy, "Thank you, doctor."
