Chapter 1173

Maya silently wondered why her father yearned to have a baby. Could it be that he’s tired and bored of
his older children?

With that thought in mind, she stepped out from the corner she had been standing in and questioned
Evan about the reason why he had his heart set on having another baby.




“Daddy, do you think that we are not well-behaved? Are we not up to your expectations? Is that why you
want to have another kid?”

Evan was taken aback and said, “That’s not it. Daddy only wants to raise a child together with Mommy to
make up for the past. You guys are our pride and joy.”

Maya’s face lit up with a smile. “Then I hope Mommy will give us a brother or sister soon. We will all love
the baby.”



“Good to hear that. If it’s a girl, I hope she will be as cute as you when you were little.”



“Daddy, was I a cute kid to you?” Maya asked as she looked at him with big innocent eyes.

“Of course, the moment I laid eyes on you, I’ve liked you. You were adorable, not to mention you were
fair and plump, just like cotton candy.”





Huh? Isn’t this what Nina had once said? I never thought that Daddy would remember that.

Maya smiled sweetly as she thought about how she looked when she was a little kid. She imagined her
chubby small hands and rounded belly, her pouty mouth, and how she always failed to lose those baby
fats.



She then left and came back with a plate of cake pops in her hands, she brought it over and placed it
carefully on the table. “Mommy, Daddy, dig in.”

“Okay.”

Evan took a seat together with Nicole. Unexpectedly, Nicole began to retch after she took a bite of the
cake pop.

“What’s wrong?” Evan looked at her worriedly.

Nicole shook her head and said, “I’m fine. It’s just that the taste of the buttercream is too much for me.”

“Mommy, I thought you like buttercream very much? You even asked me to put more.”

“That’s right. I do like to eat that. But for some reason, the smell of it is making me feel sick to my
stomach.” The moment she spoke, she started to retch again.



Evan quickly poured her a glass of water, and then he instructed Maya to take away the plate of cake
pops. It wasn’t until the cake pops were out of sight that Nicole felt a little better.

“I’ll call the family doctor to come and have a look at you.”



“There’s no need for that. I’m fine.”

“No. It’s better to have you checked.”

With that, Evan whipped out his phone to call their family doctor. Nicole, who was next to him, started
grumbling about how he was making a fuss.

“I just felt a little sick from smelling the buttercream. I’m fine now. There’s no need to call the doctor.”

“I’ve already made the call, and he’ll be here soon. Do you want to lie down and have a rest?”

Nicole furrowed her eyebrows. Didn’t I say that I was fine? It’s really unnecessary to call the doctor to
come and have a look at me. And what was that about asking me to lie down and rest? Does he see me
as a fragile and weak woman?

Maya sighed to herself. Honestly, Daddy is treating Mommy like a porcelain doll.

Twenty minutes later, the family doctor arrived and examined Nicole. After he was done examining her,
he beamed at Evan.

“Mr. Seet, I believe your wife could be pregnant.”

“What?”

“Pregnant?”

Nicole and Evan asked in unison.

The doctor nodded and said, “Based on my medical experience, I’m quite sure of it. You can take a home
pregnancy test to be certain.”



Immediately, Evan asked one of the maids to go out and buy a home pregnancy test kit. After Nicole took
the test, it showed that she was indeed pregnant.

Evan stared at the dark double lines on the pregnancy test with a look of monumental accomplishment
on his face. He had never felt so happy in his life, and it was even better than winning a large contract.

The baby came just in time.

“Nicole, we’re going to have a baby again!” At this moment, Evan felt infinitely proud.

“Yeah. In fact, I was feeling bad for deceiving Levant today. I never thought that I would be pregnant for
real!”

Evan thought for a while and said, “Well, this just means that it was the right thing for you to lie to him.
That’s why God has rewarded us with such a big surprise. In the future, continue to lie to him. Who
knows, it’ll probably be beneficial to us.”

In response, Nicole simply stared at her husband with a dumbfounded look.

What kind of logic is that?

She frowned. Once again, she genuinely felt that Evan really disliked Levant.
