Thatâs right, she was pregnant, She could not believe it. Actually, they had used contraception. At that time, Julian asked her if he could remove the contraception. He wanted their child. But she said she was not ready to have children. He agreed to use contraception and said that he would listen to her.
Moreover, if they wanted a child, they should wait until the wedding and their matters to be settled first.
It was last month. He didnât use contraception one morning.
She thought about taking the birth control medicine afterward. But she didnât, since she counted that it was her safe period, thinking she wouldnât get pregnant. However, she was. Unexpectedly. She felt very complicated. She was glad but nervous at the same time. She was delighted that their love had bore fruit as it was a matter of course. On the other hand, she was worried if she could be a good mother at only 20 years old. âWife, are you done?â you done?â Seeing that Annalise hadnât come out for a long time, Julian knocked on the door.
âYes, Iâll be done soon,â Annalise immediately said. Julian was relieved to hear Annaliseâs response.
âAlright, hurry up. Donât catch a cold.â Annalise had gone into the bathroom for quite some time. He was afraid that she had fainted from exhaustion. âOkay.â Annalise quickly took a shower and came out.
Julian had already washed up in the guest room. At this moment, he looked energized and was leaning against the head of the bed and looking at his phone. Then he casually put down his phone and reached out to her. âCome.â
Annalise walked over. He hugged her and leaned in, showing her the back of his head. âSmell it. Does it smell good?â âIt does,â Annalise said. The corners of Julianâs lips curled up. He took a hairdryer and dried Annaliseâs hair. Annalise asked him, âDid you mean it when you said you wanted a child?â
âWhat?â The hairdryer was too loud for Julian to hear her. Annalise was so sleepy that she yawned.
After Julian finished drying her hair, she hid under the blanket and asked him again, âDid you mean it when you said you wanted a child?â âOf course! You⦠agree?â Julian looked at Annalise with a passionate gaze.
Before Annalise could say anything, he wanted to pounce on her again. He wanted a 10 child. He had to work hard again! âNo stop. Iâm tired,â Annalise said. Julian smiled and put down the hairdryer. He shrunk into the blanket and pulled her into his arms. He kissed her face and smiled. âSee, we need to cuddle up like this during winter.â He pulled her in his arms and whispered into her ear, âI think of wanting a child every day, but Iâll leave the decision to you. Iâll respect you. Weâre still young, so thereâs no hurry.â
âWhat if⦠you have one?â Annalise asked. âOf course, you can give birth to it⦠Youâre⦠youâre pregnant? Youâre really pregnant?â Julian could not contain his excitement. âYouâre really pregnant?
Really?â He stared intently at Annalise, waiting for her to give him an affirmative answer. âYes,â
Annalise replied. âWife, youâre amazing!â he exclaimed. Julian cupped Annaliseâs face. His kiss landed on her forehead.
Then he remained in that position, with his lips pressed to her forehead. After a long while, Annalise could not help but ask him, âWhatâs wrong?â âIâm happy!â Julian pulled Annalise into his arms again. His hand gently caressed her hair. Now that they had a child, their family was complete. He felt contented.
He would not let his tragedy repeat itself on his child. He would love his children and his wife. He would put them first in everything he did. âAnnie, letâs bring forward our wedding.â The wedding plan came out a few days ago. He asked Annalise to choose a theme, and she opted for a church wedding. She wanted to wear a wedding dress.
He wanted to give her an unprecedented wedding. He wanted to customize the wedding dress, jewelry, and other things. These things would take three months to customize. They had discussed that the wedding would be held next spring. A wedding dress was the most suitable during the warm spring season and flowers blooming. But now that Annalise was pregnant, he didnât want others to say that the Park family didnât care about her because she had not yet had a wedding. âBut itâs already winter,â
Annalise said.
Today was already the 5th of December. Next week, the cold current would arrive, and the temperature would drop by more than 10 degrees. It would be below zero degrees by then. Julian thought for a moment and said, âIâll book the church and hotel in advance. It will be warmer then.â âItâs alright. Letâs stick to the time we set beforehand,â Annalise said. The quarterly meeting of the Parks Group would be held on December 20th. This time, there were going to be many changes. Julian wins in clothing sales, his probation as the proxy of the groupâs president would end. He would officially succeed Parks Group as its president.
The Parks Group was filled with different factions and had serious internal conflicts. She didnât want him to get distracted by the wedding. âI donât want others to criticize you.â Julian looked at Annalise.
Annalise smiled. âItâs alright. We can choose a Chanaean-style wedding. They wonât be able to tell if I wear a traditional wedding dress.â âOkay,â Julian replied. If possible, he also hoped to hold another wedding next year. If he was well prepared, everything would be for the best. âSleep. Iâm so sleepy,â
Annalise said. âOkay, go to sleep,â Julian immediately said. He placed his large palm on her stomach and tapped his fingertips on the lower part of her stomach. âSweetie, are you here?â
âHm,â Annalise answered incoherently Julian was satisfied, and his lips curled into a beautiful smile. He was going to be a father. It felt like a dream. Annalise fell asleep after a while. Julian also closed his eyes and went to sleep. He couldnât sleep. He was excited. Too excited. One moment, he reached out to touch Annaliseâs stomach, and the next moment, he couldnât help but touch it again. Then, he became excited again. He even began to think about the childâs name.
Then morning came. Annalise got up as usual. Julian immediately said, âWife, sleep a little longer. You have to sleep enough. Sleeping enough is good for the child.â âItâs fine. Iâve already slept enough.
Seven hours of sleep is enough. I feel énergized,â Annalise said. There was still a lot to do. After giving Samuel acupuncture, she still had to find time to go to the Xander family and help Sybil Xander take a look at Leeâs condition.
In addition, she had to hurry up and refine more pills. This was because she was worried she would not be able to refine pills once the pregnancy symptoms kick in. Julian supported Annalise when they went downstairs. âWife, slow down. Be careful when you take a step.â Annalise did not know whether to laugh or cry. âIâm fine. Actually, just treat me as you usually do.â âYou have to be more careful than usual,â Julian said. He had never been so careful in his life.
After breakfast, Annalise had to give Samuel acupuncture. Julian asked Annalise if acupuncture would consume too much stamina. If it was too consuming, could she just eat the medicine she had refined previously? Annalise told Julian Parks not to worry. She knew her limits. âAlright, rest if youâre tired,â
Julian said. In the morning, they discussed and concluded that they would not break the news of the pregnancy for now. They would only tell Samuel three months later. While Annalise was doing the acupuncture, Tony Parks came. When Julian saw Tony, his mood was instantly dampened. And his expression turned coldâ¦
