Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife [Book 2]

Chapter 240 - A Needy And Burning Kiss To Ease The Pain

Lisa felt a jolt inside his heart. He had to gently push her away from his arm so he could look at her. He wanted to know if she was messing around with him.

Lisa knew that Jennie wouldn't just make a joke like this, of course. However, he wanted her to repeat it while facing him and staring into his eyes.

"Say that again," Lisa almost breathlessly said to her.

Jennie gazed deeply into his eyes and nodded, "I'm pregnant."

Suddenly, she was pulled back into his tight embrace. Song Yu Han had hugged earlier, but not this tight and there was another type of emotion attached to his embrace. Extreme happiness and sadness.

But why?

Jennie, for a second there, didn't understand why he had two conflicting emotions. Then, she remembered that Lisa must have remembered his mother. Lisa's life wasn't any better and though he told her little about his life when he was younger, she could tell that he didn't live a happy life.

Then, Jennie felt anxious and nervous in the next second. Now that she had told him about her being pregnant, he would naturally know that she hid the truth from him and he was smart enough to guess that she must be planning to hide it from him if he hadn't come home and asked her face to face.

Jennie had the habit of biting her lower lips whenever she felt extreme nervousness. And she was still doing it right now as the faint lines of tears that were shed from earlier were slowly drying up on her cheeks.

As she waited for him to speak and ask her why she kept the fact that she was pregnant from him, Jennie felt him kiss the top of her head again.

​ Jennie pulled away from him and asked quietly, "Aren't you angry at me? I hid the truth of my pregnancy from you."

Lisa lifted his brow and Jennie continued timidly, "I... I hid the truth not because I don't want you to know... I planned to tell you, but not until I can secure my own safety. I was wrong to do that, I know..."

A finger tapped gently on her lips to prevent Jennie from continuing.

Lisa gave her a breathtaking smile. The anger and disappointment she expected to see on his face wasn't there. Not even a shadow of it could be seen. That overly gorgeous smile made her lose her control over her mind and fell into a daze. Jennie felt slightly ashamed.

Damn him for smiling at the wrong moment.

"I am angry." His tone was slightly deeper and darker as he gazed deeply into her. With the lights from the moon in the sky softly spilling into the living room from the window behind her back, Jennie could now clearly see his face. "You kept such wonderful news from me. But that anger cannot overwhelm just how happy and blessed I am."

His hand traveled across the space to grab her own before pulling it towards his chest. The soft and firm beating of his heart could be felt from the layer of fabric that separated her hand from his skin. However, at this moment, Jennie believed that even with several layers of fabric between them, she could still feel the warmth of his body and the beating of his heart.

Lisa hadn't been around her during this past month. He was several countries away from her and he didn't fault her for hesitating and hiding the truth from him. What he was angry about was that during this happy moment, someone had tried to harm Jennie.

The purpose of his slight delay in his return was not only due to the ambush that happened on the first week he arrived in Davios, a country from the West. He reluctantly had to keep distance from Jennie to erase the sinister ideas of his enemies and for them to focus on him instead of her. He knew how vicious these people are and knew what they could do to her.
