Chapter 340 - PREGNANCY (2/2)

Akira looked at Chiharu as she walked away with narrowed eyes. She knew that the salmon did not have a fishy smell. The brine got rid of the fishiness, and her heat control methods were guaranteed to maximise freshness.

She was not, per se, offended at people disliking her food. However, Chiharu was behaving a little suspiciously. And when an already suspicious person was behaving oddly, something strange was afoot.

Sayaka also stared at Chiharu with interest as she walked out.

”Dear, do you think…” She whispered to Daiki.

Nausea was a common sign of pregnancy.

Daiki felt his wife was as quick as ever to jump to conclusions. It was more likely that Chiharu was feeling sick because of Sayaka's comment about the lack of grandchildren.

”Don't think too much.” He responded helplessly.

In Kazuo's room, Chiharu cleaned her face with cold water before lying on the large bed. She took a deep breath and placed a hand on her lower abdomen. She pressed on her stomach as if she was punishing her wȯmb for failing her.

If she did not get pregnant soon, she might be in danger of losing her position. As soon as she was taken in for a medical examination, things would start going wrong.

Kazuo was anxious about having a baby. He told her that he wanted to have at least three children, five if possible. He did not have enthusiasm towards a lot of things, but he intended to become a father.

However, her mistakes could mean that she might not be able to help him fulfil his dreams.

Her eyes closed, and her mind drifted to the past.

About four years ago, she had moved to Mountain Ridge with the dream of becoming a rich man's wife. She was not from a poor background, but she did not like the idea of living an average life forever. It did not match her image of the future.

She did not want to save carefully for vacations. She wanted to be able to choose an island and be there on a private yacht. She did not want to buy one car. She wanted to have a fleet so that she could choose one to match her outfit.

In simple terms, she had grandiose dreams about her future life.

After coming to Mountain Ridge, she did not directly apply for a job. She had some substantial savings. Her parents had good jobs, and they were good to her. Even after she graduated college and began working, they would send her a lot of gift money for special occasions.

Her original idea after coming to Mountain Ridge was to apply for jobs in prestigious companies. Meanwhile, she would go to places where she was more likely to have an accidental meeting with a wealthy young master.

She was confident in her looks, and she knew how to appeal to different types of men.

As luck would have it, she met with a wild and handsome young master. He was not from a top family, but his family conditions bȧrėly met her standards.

Moreover, her savings were running low because of the expensive lifestyle in Mountain Ridge. She had not gotten a response even after finally applying for a lot of good jobs. So, she had to settle for that young man.

Their beautiful relationship started and proceeded quite well for almost a year. Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. On a certain month, everything changed.

She discovered that she was pregnant.
