A Drunken Decision Cynthia Chapter 74
Chapter 74
Annabelle did not know that the call had been answered. She did not even look for her phone because she did not want to see the caller ID.
However, Lucas picked up the phone and heard a series of vicious words from Mrs. Ross. Annabelle could tolerate it because, for the first 23 years, she had been protected and loved by them. However, he could not tolerate it because Annabelle had already married him. From the moment they got married, this woman started to be protected and loved by him. It was his incompetence to let her suffer a scolding
The next day, Lucas asked his secretary to arrange a meeting with Braxton. He wanted to settle the matter once and for all.
No one knew what Lucas and Braxton talked about. However, Braxton never called Annabelle again after that. Naturally, he did not forget to remind Madeline not to cause trouble for him.
In fact, even if he didn’t say it, Madeline wouldn’t dare to cause trouble for Annabelle again, because after seeing Braxton, Lucas also called Madeline.
Who did Madeline care about most right now?
Naturally, it was Ashley.
To be honest, Braxton was not even as important to her as Ashley.
Lucas only said one sentence. If she dared to cause trouble for Annabelle again, he would destroy Ashley. If she didn’t believe him, she could give it a try.
How could Madeline not believe him? She wasn’t familiar with Lucas, but she had heard a lot of rumors about him. Moreover, Ashley still had feelings for him. It would be easy for him to destroy Ashley.
The Ross family fell silent just like that. Others might not notice, but Annabelle felt much more at ease.
Now that she was at ease, she ate well and slept soundly. Annabelle’s belly was getting bigger and bigger day by day.
Lucas was shocked every time he looked at it.
“Your face doesn’t look any fatter!” During another prenatal checkup, the head of obstetrics and gynecology pinched Annabelle’s face and said softly. “Didn’t you eat properly?”
“She did!” Before Annabelle could say anything, Lucas spoke first. At the same time, he didn’t forget to remove the hand from Annabelle’s face. “Just talk. Don’t pinch her!”
The head of obstetrics and gynecology, who was in her 40s or 50s, was speechless as she looked at Lucas.
So what if she pinched Annabelle’s face? Could she hurt her?
Whether she would hurt her or not, Lucas would not allow her to pinch Annabelle.
“Does it matter?” Lucas ignored her speechlessness and asked seriously with a frown..
“It doesn’t matter!” the head of obstetrics and gynecology said. “The fetus is developing very well…”
“Don’t just look at how the fetus is developing. How’s the pregnant woman’s condition?” Lucas asked anxiously.
The head of obstetrics and gynecology, who was interrupted, picked up the notebook on the table and threw it at him. “Which one of us is the doctor? Do you want to hear it from me or from you?”
Lucas didn’t know what to say.
Annabelle watched them interact and her eyes curled with laughter.
Seeing that Lucas had become obedient, the head of obstetrics and gynecology gave him a list to pay the fees for the checkup.
As for the details, they had to See the results of the checkup first.
Lucas took the list and led Annabelle out
As for paying, he could just pay on his phone. There was no need to queue up.
Color ultrasound, blood glucose, blood routine, urine routine…
For every checkup, Lucas was by Annabelle’s side. It was difficult for Annabelle to squat and lie down, so Lucas was there for her.
It made other pregnant women envious. They were all pregnant, but why were they treated so differently?
This was especially true for a pregnant woman who was already eight months pregnant. Her checkup was just after Annabelle’s. Hence, she saw how Lucas took care of Annabelle. As she watched, she cried. She couldn’t control herself and shocked the others.
At first, everyone thought she was unwell, and doctors and nurses rushed over. But after asking her, they knew that she was not ill. She cried only because she felt wronged.
She was thirty two weeks pregnant and had had five or six prenatal checkups. Other than the first time, her man had never accompanied her. She had come to every prenatal checkup herself
Initially, she didn’t think much of it. She was just pregnant. It wasn’t like she had lost an arm or a leg. She could come here by taking a taxi. How

difficult could it be?
However, when she looked at Annabelle and saw that Annabelle had someone to help her walk and tie her shoelaces, she suddenly thought of herself. When she walked through the crowded halls, she guarded her belly in case someone in a hurry accidentally bumped into it. She remembered how she had lain down gingerly and had difficulty getting up because of a bulge in her belly during her ultrasound….
She used to think that others were pretentious, but now she felt that she was pitiful.
They were both women. Annabelle was being pampered and protected by her husband. What about her? Why did she want to get married and get a man when she was so independent?
After understanding what she was crying about, everyone was speechless.
“You’re a soldier’s wife, right?” The head of obstetrics and gynecology comforted the person who was crying. “It’s not easy for soldiers and their wives. If you come for a checkup in the future, let us know. We’ll arrange for a nurse to accompany you the entire time. It can be counted…”
Before the head of obstetrics and gynecology could finish speaking, the wornan cried even harder!
Then, the woman said, “If I were a soldier’s wife, I wouldn’t be crying. He’s just an ordinary office worker! Boohoo…”
“He’s working overtime today?” Annabelle asked her. It was Saturday, and she had specially chosen the day Lucas didn’t have to go to work to come for a prenatal checkup.
“He’s off today!” The woman shook her head and said aggrievedly, “He didn’t sleep until eleven last night!”
“Call him and ask him to come!” Annabelle thought, “What’s the big deal about sleeping at 11 o’clock? Isn’t it quite normal for young men to sleep at 11 o’clock? Does he lack sleep?”
“You man is spoiled!” Seeing that the woman was still looking at her blankly, Annabelle continued to say, “Maybe he wants to come with you!”
The woman was confused. “Is that so?”
“You need to use your man when it’s necessary!” Annabelle said, “Why are you standing at the ceremony with him? Otherwise, why did you get
married?”
The woman fell silent.
The crowd fell silent too.
Annabelle turned around and saw Lucas looking at her meaningfully.
Annabelle was surprsied. Did she say something she shouldn’t have?
“We’re done. Let’s go home!” Annabelle held Lucas’s arm and pretended that she did not say anything. “You must be hungry. I’ll cook something delicious for you when we get home!”
Everyone was confused. So which one of them was spoiling the other?
However, the woman did call her husband and asked him to pick her up at the hospital. Her husband was startled and thought something had happened. He got out of bed, ran out without changing his clothes in his slippers, and hailed a taxi.
When the woman saw her husband’s nervous expression, she suddenly didn’t feel aggrieved again!
Every marriage was unique! Each had its own sweetness and bitterness.
“Use a man when it’s necessary?” In the car, Lucas raised his eyebrows and looked at the woman sitting in the front passenger seat.
Annabelle didn’t know what to say.
“How?” Lucas did not seem to notice her embarrassment and continued to ask.
