"I think you should be the one to stop worrying. You've already walked around the room over ten times. I'm getting dizzy watching you." Samantha held a cup of water in her hands and looked at him. She was not worried because she believed that Ronald would solve anything.
He sat down on a couch after he listened to her words, waiting for them to return his call. All he wanted now was to get a hold of Summer.
'It'd be impossible to not locate her, no?’
Sanctum Isles.
The ocean waves were crashing in the blue sea one after another. The ocean was so clear that it could reflect the clouds in the sky. The green leaves on the tree branches shook in the wind, painting a warm picture of the beach.
Charlotte was over the moon. She was running around on the beach, leaving a trail of small footsteps behind her.
In contrast, Summer already felt tired when she sat on the beach. She was slightly out of breath as she watched Mark chase after Charlotte in front of her.
Placed in front of her was a fried chicken that
Charlotte had bought earlier on. She picked it up and sniffed it but was repelled and disgusted by it.
She had no idea why she had been constantly tired recently. She did not have to walk far to feel tired, and she would want to sit or sleep on a couch as soon as she saw one.
Additionally, her chest felt tight and swollen. She never liked eating sour things but was crazy about it now. Furthermore, she missed her period last month.
Connecting the dots, Summer came to a realization. Was she pregnant?
She thought about it quietly in her heart until she smiled and shook her head, thinking that the possibility was not high.
Previously, when she had been pregnant with Charlotte, the doctor had told her that her body was unfit for pregnancy, so it was really hard for her to get pregnant!
But still, how else could she explain the problems that she was facing?
Summer was still on her train of thoughts when a tall figure stood in front of her, swallowing her whole. She only snapped out of it when water droplets fell on her face.
The toned figure then sat next to her. With one arm over her shoulder, Mark pulled her close to him as he asked deeply, "What are you thinking about, hmm? You looked like you’re deep in thought."
"Recently, I’ve been feeling tired and sleepy. My chest feels tight and swollen, plus I missed my period. So, I'm just wondering if I'm pregnant." She laid her head o n his lap, and it was as she said. She was a little out of it, not appearing very energetic.
'She’s pregnant?' His dark eyes were instantly filled with bright colors. But when he saw her expression, h e held her chin with his slender fingers and frowned." You don’t want the baby?"
"It's not that I don’t want it. Why would I even be pregnant?"
"I’m strong, you see. Plus, I haven't been wearing any protection and you haven't been eating your birth control pills. So why wouldn't you be pregnant, hm?"
Mark tightened his gaze on her as he pinched her chin a little harder. He was unusually annoyed. 'Is she doubting my manhood?’
Summer took a deep breath as she smacked his chest softly. "That’s not the point, okay? The point is that the doctor told me that my chances of getting pregnant were very low last time."
'Does he know what's the problem here?' She felt resigned. She thought that she would not get pregnant, so she had never taken any birth control pills.
"Low chances don’t mean that you can't get pregnant, right? When you're with me, the chances of you getting pregnant will naturally increase.” He spoke in a deep and dark voice, as he meant everything he said.
"Can you be serious for once?" Her face turned red as she gritted her teeth.
Mark chuckled deeply, causing vibration in her ears. H e then tucked her hair that became messy from the wind behind her ears. "Why so serious? We'll know everything once we go for a checkup in the hospital. You’re thinking too much here..."
Summer nodded as she responded, "Let's get a pregnancy test before we get back to the hotel."
"I think you should be the one to stop worrying. You've already walked around the room over ten times. I'm getting dizzy watching you." Samantha held a cup of water in her hands and looked at him. She was not worried because she believed that Ronald would solve anything.
