My Billionaire Husband

Brian kissed Diana and said, "Don't wait for me if I come back home late tonight. Just go to bed when you are sleepy. You are going to catch a cold if you keep waiting for me on the sofa."

"Okay. I will," Diana nodded obediently. "Now, let's have some breakfast."

"Okay." Brian sat down, eager to tuck into the home-cooked breakfast when suddenly someone called him. It was from Jessica.

"Hey, boss, I'm still struggling a little for ideas. Can you think of somewhere else to take me to get some inspiration? I'm afraid that I might not be able to finish the new collection by tomorrow…"

Jessica spoke in an obviously flirtatious manner. Her words put Brian in a dilemma. He turned to Diana to ask for her permission, as she had heard the conversation.

To Brian's surprise, Diana willingly gave her consent.

"Okay, I will take you to a place where it will be impossible not to be inspired!" he replied to Jessica.

"Please come as quickly as you can. Or I do fear that I cannot finish everything. See you soon." Jessica continued speaking in her seductive tone, which to anyone listening would have seemed quite unprofessional.

"Diana, I…"

"You should go. The designs are too important."

Diana tried her best to be considerate and put aside her jealousy.

"Thank you." Brian stood up quickly. He kissed Diana goodbye and went to the company at once.

After Brian left, Diana continued with her breakfast. However, she found she had almost no appetite. She picked up the sandwich and went to take a bite, but the smell made her sick, so much so that she began to retch violently.

After a while, she struggled to sit up straight again with the support of the table. At that moment, Diana's phone started ringing. She picked it up and heard.

Sybil's enthusiastic voice.

"Hey, Diana, where are you? I'm back! Would you be able to come to the airport to pick me up?" Sybil seemed as lively as ever.

"Of course I'd love to," Diana tried to be positive, but she sounded weak.

"Diana, are you okay?" Sybil recognized something was wrong with Diana's voice.

"I'm fine. I will be there. Wait for me." Diana hung up the phone in a hurry, then took a taxi to the airport.

"Hey, Diana, over here!" Sybil waved to Diana when she caught sight of her getting out of the taxi.

Sybil was quite visibly pregnant now, but she still waved to Diana excitedly and jumped up and down with happiness.

"Oh, my dear, be careful!" Diana supported Sybil with her hands, afraid she would hurt herself.

"My dear Diana, can you please stop treating me like I'm some fragile thing. Everyone else is doing that, and it's very annoying. You all worry too much. I love Ken, but eventually, I had to send him away. Now you are the same."

Her words reminded Diana that Ken was not with Sybil. It was rather strange. He always looked after Sybil so well. Why didn't he accompany her home?   

"Where is Ken?" Diana asked curiously.

"I sent him away," Sybil answered with a cunning grin.

"How?"

"Of course, it wasn't easy. I lied to him; said that you were a few minutes away. He trusts you so much to take care of me, so he went to the company without any worries."

Diana wasn't sure whether she should be angry or not.

"Sybil, you need to be careful. You're pregnant!"

While Diana was still whining and m.o.a.ning, Sybil felt sick and wretched.

"Are you okay?" Diana was overly concerned.

"I'm fine. It's just morning sickness. I am used to it now."

"Morning sickness?" Diana remembered how she had felt at home earlier.

"Maybe I'm pregnant?" Diana thought.

"What are you thinking about?" Sybil waved her hand in front of Diana's face, trying to get her attention.

"Nothing." Diana shook her head.

"By the way," It occurred to Sybil that she had something for Diana. She took a bag of gifts from her bag and handed them to her.

"These are some souvenirs I bought for you from Hawaii. They were all made by local artists. "

"Sybil, this is really too much…"

"I just kept seeing things I thought you'd like," Sybil said enthusiastically.

Sybil was energetic all the way home, in stark contrast to Diana, who was still feeling weary and fragile.

Back home, Sybil took a long, hot shower. When she finished, she walked out and said to Diana, "Diana, I have an antenatal appointment later today. Would you like to come with me?"

Diana paused. The subject of pregnancy reminded her of what she had thought about before.

"Hello, Diana, what's your answer?" Sybil was immediately impatient.

Diana hesitated but resolved to tell Sybil the truth.

"Sybil, maybe I…"

"What? Just say it!" Sybil almost lost her temper.

Diana was determined, and finally, with her eyes closed, shouted, "I think I am pregnant!"

Sybil was shocked. She didn't know what to say.

Hearing only silence, Diana opened her eyes to check Sybil's reaction. Seeing that she was shocked, Diana explained, "I'm not sure actually. But lately, I have been sleepy and tired all the time. And this morning, I hurled as you did at the airport. And… I still didn't get my period this month."

Sybil rushed towards Diana with a sly grin.

"Be honest, when did you start to have such a close relationship with my brother, huh?"

Diana blushed at Sybil's words and faltered, "What are you talking about? It's just been… I don't know…"

Diana was clearly timid about it, so Sybil tried to reassure her."My dear Diana, there is no need to be embarrassed about it. It's the 21st century; it's quite normal for a.d.u.l.ts to be having s.e.x together, having children together, without being married." Sybil felt quite strongly about the topic.

Looking at Diana's belly, Sybil was wondering what gift she should prepare for her future niece or nephew. It would have to be totally unique!

Feeling Sybil's excitement, Diana was wary that she was getting her hopes up too much.

"Look, it's not certain, okay? It's just a guess right now."

"But you study medicine. I trust your judgment. By the way, have you told Brian the news?"

Diana quietly shook her head. She had only just thought of the possibility herself. Telling Brian was a whole other story.

"Right, well, let's go to the hospital and do the test!"

Diana agreed. The doubt was driving her crazy. She had to find out once and for all!
