The Seventh Miserable Bride novel Chapter 255

The day after Lily Adams and her husband celebrated their son's first birthday, Scott Jules was having a bowl of soup during breakfast when Lily suddenly said, "Honey, I'm pregnant."

Pfft...

Scott choked on his soup. He looked up in shock and stammered, "Are you... are you serious?"

Lily glared at him angrily, "What part of me look like I am joking?"

"But I thought that I had always used a condom. How was it possible for you to get pregnant?"

"Condoms are not 100% safe. Besides, there was one time where you did not wear it."

"When?"

"Last week, you were drunk that night. When you came home, you took off my clothes and we did it."

"I was drunk?"

"Yes."

"Then you should be sober at that time. If I wasn't wearing a condom, then you should have taken the birth control pills. Don't tell me you did not take the pills!"

"Nope."

"Why not?"

Lily shrugged, thinking it was no big deal. "I forgot." Scott pinched his eyebrows and said earnestly, "How could you forget? Look at what happened now."

"What happened? I'm just pregnant, that's all. I mean, if you don't want this baby then fine, you don't have to make a big deal out of this. I can abort it."

"What do you mean by abortion? We can't get rid of the baby just because you accidentally got pregnant."

"That's the way it is."

Scott glared at her and sighed. "Forget it. We are going to keep the baby."

"No, we're not."

"Why not?"

"You don't look like you want the baby. You don't look happy, so I will not keep it."

Lily started to lose her temper. Scott put his arm around her shoulders and said grumpily, "You silly girl, why would I not want our baby? I just feel bad for you."

"Feel bad about what? Don't try to fool me."

"I'm not fooling you. I mean it."

Scott's expression suddenly became serious. "I always felt sorry for you. Other women have their mother-in-law to take care of their baby for them, but you don't. You have been taking care of our son since the day he was born and it must be hard on you. If we have another baby, you'll be even more tired. As a man, I feel bad for you, do you understand?" Lily was startled and she pursed her lips into a smile. "You're the stupid one. Who says that I need a mother-in-law to love me? As long as you treat me nicely, I don't care whether I have one. I don't envy others for having a mother- in- law. What's wrong with raising our child alone? Although it's hard, it makes me happy. My mother gave birth to three children, and all three of us were raised by her alone. So, my dear husband, it doesn't matter. I'm willing to give you as many children as you want."

"Well then, let's have this baby."

Scott was moved and he hugged her closely. He kissed her cheek gently, "I hope this one will be a girl."

When Lily was four months along, Yasmine Taylor accompanied her to do an ultrasound. The result was gratifying. It really was a girl. When Scott came home that evening, she immediately told him the good news. Scott couldn't have been happier. He immediately sat down in front of the computer, "I'm going to do some research on baby girl names."

"Honey, don't make it too deep and meaningful. Actually, I like the name that Sebastian gave his kids, it's cute and easy to remember."

"What are his kids' names again?"

"Smiley and Chuckles."

"Huh, who would take those names seriously? I'm not surprised, it's really his style."

"Who says it's not serious? A child's name should be cute. Unlike Cameron's name, It doesn't sound cute at all. It sounds like an adult's name."

"Then why don't you name our daughter?" Lily shook her head. "Nah, I'm not good at giving names."

Scott smiled dotingly, "Alright then. I promise you that I will give our daughter a cute name."

"Okay, I'll wait and see."

"You should head over to the living room to watch TV first. I'll find you later when I think of a name."

"Alright."

After watching an episode of a series, Lily began to feel sleepy. It was true that pregnant women would get tired easily. She was about to take a nap on the couch when someone placed a cup of warm milk in front of her.

It was from Scott. "Did you forget to drink your milk again?"

She stuck out her tongue naughtily, "Thank you, honey."

"So, did you manage to find any good names?"

She asked curiously while drinking her warm milk. "Yes."

"What is it?"

"Bella."

"Bell?" Lily frowned, "What kind of name is that? It doesn't sound cute at all. What about Ball? That sounds cute, doesn't it?"

"Not Ball, it's Bella."

"I don't care whether it's Ball or Belle, I don't like it. Did you even put your heart into it? You're a headmaster. What kind of headmaster are you? You'd better resign and give up the position."

Scott took a deep blow. "This name is so artistic, yet you don't like it at all?"

"I don't like it. I really don't like it."

"Well, I knew you might not like it, so I came up with another one."

"What is it?"

Lily's interest was sparked again.

"Arabella."

"Arabella?"

"Yes, it means beautiful and grace. Its actually a Scottish name whose meaning comes from the Latin word 'orabilis', which means 'prayerful'.

A bright light shone in Lily's eyes. "Hey, I like it. Arabella, beautiful and graceful. Well done, you've improved. I'll give you back your position as the principal for a few more years."

Scott was rendered speechless, but there was a soft smile on his face.
