Chapter 1374 She’s Also Preparing For a Baby
The Substitute Wife: My Poor Husband Is A Billionaire
Suzanne commissioned maternity clothes for herself?
Janetâs body stiffened for a moment. After a few seconds, she looked up to meet Suzanneâs gaze. She
couldnât tell whether it was due to her heightened sensitivity to anything related to pregnancy lately, but
she perceived a subtle hint of mockery in Suzanneâs eyes when she spoke.
When she locked eyes with Suzanne, however, there was nothing there.
âMiss White,â Suzanne said, waving her hand in front of Janet, her smile warm and bright. âIs there a
problem? Is it not going to be possible for your studio to design maternity clothing?â Janet took a deep
breath, convincing herself that she was just overthinking things.
She cast a glance at Suzanneâs flat belly and asked calmly, âCertainly, we can, but may I ask how many
months along you are, Miss Duncan?â typical gesture of pregnant women, cradling her belly in her
hand. âWhy do you ask that?â Janet shifted her gaze away from Suzanneâs belly, suppressing her
feelings of uneasiness. She maintained her composure and calmly explained, âThe reason
Iâm asking is that as pregnancy progresses, a womanâs body shape changes very quickly, so itâs
important for us to know the exact stage of pregnancy in order to design custom maternity wear for the
expectant mother. However, from what I can see, you are not showing yet. Maybe youâre only a month
or two along?â
Suzanne looked down at her flat belly and let out a smile with a hidden meaning. âIâm not pregnant at
the moment. Right now⦠Iâm just making preparations towards it.â
Janet was surprised by Suzanneâs response, and couldnât help but ask in confusion, âIf youâre not
pregnant yet, why are you in such a hurry to have maternity clothes made? Pregnancy is unpredictable,
so thereâs no need to rush into getting custom clothing until youâre actually pregnant.â
Suzanne lifted her head and met Janetâs eyes with a smile that appeared slightly insincere. âWell, I
have a strong feeling that Iâll get pregnant soon.â
Janet was puzzled by Suzanneâs confidence. âIsnât getting pregnant mostly a matter of luck? Why are
youso certain that youâll conceive soon?â Suzanne gave Janet a sly wink and spoke with a mysterious
smile. âBecause I have a highly capable doctor who can guarantee that Iâll be able to conceive soon.â
As Janet listened, she increasingly felt uneasy, but she simply nodded and extended her best wishes.
âIn that case, I hope all your wishes come true, Miss Duncan, and that you have a healthy and beautiful
baby.â
âCertainly,â Suzanne replied with an even brighter smile. âBoth the father-to-be and | appreciate your
kind wishes.â
After all, she was about to carry Janetâs husbandâs child. Suzanne added silently in her mind.
At this point, the smugness in her eyes could no longer be hidden.
She could already imagine the anguish that would consume Janet when she became pregnant with
Brandonâs child and wore maternity clothes that had been specially designed by Janet herself.
Once she conceived Brandonâs child, she would have the legitimacy to claim the position of matriarch
of the Larson family and ascend to the ranks of high society.
Filled with a sense of triumph, Suzanne couldnât suppress her smirk anymore as she imagined the pain
that Janet would have to endure when she was abandoned by Brandon, as well as how the Larson
Group would soon fall into her grasp.
Janet, on the other hand, couldnât shake off the strange feeling of growing discomfort in her heart as
she observed Suzanneâs inexplicable sense of satisfaction.
Why did it seem like Suzanne was deliberately showing off to her? Did Suzanne know that she couldnât
get pregnant?
Janet pondered over it for a moment, and then quickly dismissed the idea. Only her closest confidants
were aware of her medical situation, and she trusted them to keep it confidential. As a result, Suzanne
couldnât possibly know about it. Janet took a quick glance at Suzanne. Noticing the persistent bright
smile on her face, Janet made the conscious effort to suppress the annoyance that was boiling within
her.
Perhaps she was just overthinking things. Women just felt especially happy during the pre-conception
period and couldnât help but display their happiness to those around them.
Not wanting to dwell on this matter any further, Janet decided to change the topic. âSo, Miss Duncan,
what kind of maternity clothing would you like?â
Suzanne propped her chin up with one hand and said with a smile, âI donât have any special requests,
Miss White. I trust your creativity. Feel free to design whatever you think is best.â After exchanging a
few more words and confirming whether there was nothing else to discuss, Janet immediately stood up
to make her exit. She didnât want to stay any longer, not even for a second
