Chapter 270

Jennifer was originally going to greet them. However, when she saw Naomi run to the bathroom, covering her mouth, she followed her hastily.

“What’s wrong, Mrs. Ludwig?”

Between retching, Naomi replied, “Probably gastroenteritis!”

She immediately began throwing up into the toilet.

Brendan brought her some warm water. After she gargled with the water, she felt a bit better. Brendan stood beside her, caressing her back.

Jennifer complained, “Outside food isn’t clean enough. In the future, let our cook bring you lunch instead.”

Naomi hummed in agreement. When she tried to stand up, she began throwing up yet again.

It felt much better than just now.

When Jennifer saw Naomi run back to the toilet bowl the second she stood up, Jennifer’s eyes suddenly brightened.

She looked at Brendan, then Naomi.

During the last few days, he had come home frequently, and they’d been getting along. Sometimes, they’d even be affectionate in front of her!

When she thought of this, Jennifer asked Naomi, “Mrs. Ludwig, are you pregnant?”

Once the question left her mouth, Jennifer felt that Naomi’s symptoms were similar to hers back when she’d been pregnant.

Both Naomi and Brendan were stunned by Jennifer’s question.

After she got checked out and found she wasn’t pregnant, Naomi stopped thinking in that direction. After all, she’d recently gotten gastric.

In addition, considering her relationship with Brendan, he wouldn’t let her get pregnant that easily.

After a stunned pause, Brendan turned to look at Naomi. She’d said it was gastroenteritis, so he hadn’t thought much of it.

Besides, he didn’t have any experience. He’d never been a father before.

As he looked at Naomi, the force with which he gripped her arm increased. His expression was careful.

Naomi had to remind him, “Brendan, you’re hurting my arm.”

Upon hearing her sentence, Brendan immediately let go of her hand.

When Jennifer saw that her question had shocked them, she laughed and said, “Mr. Ludwig is too excited and ecstatic to be a dad himself.”

When Brendan heard her words, he said hastily, “I’ll take her there.”

Jennifer smiled even brighter when she heard that. She responded, “If you can take her there, that would be wonderful. I’ll give you both early congratulations.”

As she spoke, she took Naomi’s other arm.

Brendan saw that her face was pale. He asked, “Is there anywhere else you’re feeling

uncomfortable?”

Naomi replied, “I’m alright, just feeling a little nausea.”

Jennifer said, “That’s right. You must be pregnant.”

Brendan held Naomi even tighter, terrified she would stumble and fall.

When they returned to their room, Brendan wouldn’t let Naomi do anything on her

own. He didn’t even allow her to open the door to retrieve her clothes. He insisted on

doing so for her.

As Naomi showered, Brendan insisted on going with her. He said he was worried

about Naomi being inside alone. What if she fell?

She couldn’t get her way. Thus, Naomi could only allow him into the bathroom and

let him help her take a shower.

What Naomi found most entertaining was that Brendan behaved entirely differently since Jennifer said she might be pregnant.

She’d known him for so long and had never seen him so nervous. His whole body was tensed.
