Chapter 765: Chapter 762: Digestive Exercise

Clara’s appetite seemed especially good today. She ate so much—more than double her usual amount.

When Seth Quinn saw her finish two bowls of rice and then start eating dessert nonstop, he was a little surprised and worried. He couldn’t help but say, "Clara, what’s gotten into you? You’re usually full after just one small bowl for dinner, but today..."

His reminder made Clara realize just how much she had eaten. Her heart skipped a beat. ’Is my appetite bigger because I found out I’m pregnant?’

"Oh, I... I was just really tired and hungry today, so I ate a lot," she stammered, offering a weak excuse.

"Eating more is a good thing. You’re a little too thin; you should put on some weight." Seth Quinn didn’t suspect a thing. "Just don’t eat so much at night. You’ll get sick if you can’t digest it properly."

"I know, I’ll stop." Despite her words, she popped two more pieces of dessert into her mouth before finally stopping.

She reached out and touched her slightly rounded belly, thinking, ’Is the little bean sprout in here already starting to fight me for food?’

Seeing her frown and rub her stomach, Seth assumed she was uncomfortable from overeating. He immediately stood and walked to her side, worried. "What’s wrong? Are you too full?"

"Huh?" Clara hadn’t noticed him approaching and jumped in surprise. She quickly pulled her hand away from her stomach and played along. "Oh, I think so. I am a bit full."

"You can’t go straight to sleep on a full stomach. I’ll join you for some light exercise to help you digest. Let’s go."

Clara murmured an "oh" and stood up, but she found it a little strange. ’It’s just some exercise to aid digestion. Why did he have to lean in and whisper it in my ear?’

She didn’t think much of it and simply followed him. When she saw him leading her upstairs, she still wasn’t too concerned, merely thinking, ’He’s not actually going to change into workout clothes, is he?’

He led her by the hand into the bedroom. Clara was about to ask if she should also change into workout clothes, but before she could get a word out, he spun her around and pulled her into his arms. An instant later, his lips were pressed firmly against hers.

"Mmmh..." Her eyes flew wide as she managed only a muffled hum.

Seth’s kiss was gentle and seductive. As Clara felt the warmth of his lips, she couldn’t help but slowly close her eyes. A small smile played on her lips as she wrapped her arms around his neck and began to kiss him back.

...

Just as Seth’s warm breath ghosted across her ear and he whispered, "Clara, let’s take a shower together first..."

Clara’s eyes snapped open. Seeing his face full of desire, she instantly understood the rest of his unspoken sentence.

The doctor’s words immediately echoed in her ears. ’...If you want to keep the baby, you can’t have intercourse for the first three months. If you don’t want it, you need to decide on a date for the procedure as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the harder it will be, and the more you’ll suffer...’

Clara pushed against him frantically, struggling to sit up. ’How did I not realize what kind of "exercise" he meant? Has the pregnancy made me this slow?’

"...Um, Seth, we can’t!"

"Why not?" Seth held her in place, not letting her get up, his voice tinged with disappointment. "It’s been three days. Don’t you want me?"

’Of course I don’t!’

Before, when she hadn’t known she was pregnant, she’d never refused him. But now that she knew, she couldn’t just let him do as he pleased.
