Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 726

Chapter 726 Afraid of Being Coveted

Stefan smiled and started picking out fish bones carefully.

After he was done, he then served the fish to Martha.

"Be good, you can have as much as you want. If it's not enough, I'll have the chef make more and send it over."

During the video call with Bianca earlier, she reminded him that it would be good for Martha to eat more fish.

Fish was very friendly to Martha, as it could help make her baby smarter.

As soon as Stefan thought of this, he immediately gave the order.

He hoped that their daughter would be a smart and lovely little girl in the future, so she wouldn't be bullied by others.

At this moment, Martha, eating the fish that Stefan had finished picking out, squinted comfortably.

"Such days are really nice."

It was quite nice to be a freeloader, with food readily available at hand and mouth.

Martha had this idea in mind and said, "Stefan, I suddenly realized that being pregnant was great and I could enjoy myself all the time."

The man furrowed his brow slightly and asked with a faint smile, "When have you not enjoyed yourself?"

Martha hesitated for a moment, then carefully thought about it and nodded seriously.

"I seem to be enjoying all along."

Usually, when she eats fish, it is Stefan who picks the fish bones before giving the fish to her. When she eats shrimps, it is also Stefan who peels the shells and hands them to her.

It seems that she has always truly enjoyed Stefan's kindness towards her.

The woman glanced at the man sitting beside her, blinked her eyes and said solemnly, "Stefan, I will treat you well in the future and try to make you feel my kindness towards you."

Upon hearing these words, Stefan's lips curled slightly and a deep voice came from his lips.

"Don't you know how you should repay me? I want you."

Martha was stunned for a moment, and certain intimate scenes suddenly flashed through her mind, causing her cheeks to flush.

After she regained her composure, she lowered her head and silently ate the fish in her bowl, no longer speaking.

Stefan couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her appearance.

"Try this small pork rib, the chef specially made it for you to eat," Martha responded in a low voice and buried her head in her meal.

Time in the hospital passed quickly for Martha. Besides eating and drinking, she spent her days lying down, playing on her phone and reading books. As a result, her complexion improved significantly.

When Martha saw "Rhys" on her phone screen, she paused for a moment.

After she won first place in national painting competition, she called Rhys and told him this good news and also her pregnancy and hospitalization, which led him to tell her to rest for a few more days.

In the following days, besides video chatting with Jimmy and Melissa every day, Martha could only read books to pass time. She never expected that today she would receive a call from Rhys.

Could it be that he wanted to urge her to come back soon?

Martha answered the phone with curiosity and said softly, "Rhys."

"Martha, I have good news for you," came Rhys' happy voice which made Martha even more puzzled.

It was rare for Martha to hear his happy voice like this one, which deepened her suspicion even further.

She raised an eyebrow slightly and asked gently, "What happened? Why are you so happy?"

"Our studio's first batch of sales earned us ten million dollars in profit!" said Rhys cheerfully as he tapped his fingers on his desk.

Martha was clearly stunned when she heard this news.

Winning first place in the national painting competition would give their studio free publicity and increase its popularity but never did she expect such high profits from their first batch of sales.

Her hand holding onto the phone tightened slightly as her eyes brightened up. "Rhys... thank you so much for your hard work while I wasn't there."

"Will you take me along with you?"

Stefan frowned, and obviously didn't want Martha to go with him.

"You are still pregnant now. If you attend the dinner, I'm afraid you will be too tired."

"No, I have been recuperating well in the hospital recently and my body has almost fully recovered."

Martha urgently spoke out about her current situation. After finishing her sentence, she noticed that the man did not compromise and added, "When the nurse came to check on me today, she said my body is in good condition now and I should go out more for some activities, which is good for both me and the child. You heard those words too."

Stefan pursed his lips. "But..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Martha interrupted him and said, "Stefan, just let me go with you. I've been cooped up in the hospital for so long and it's time for me to get out and walk around."

"I promise that I will follow you to the banquet and behave myself. I won't run around, okay?"

Martha's eyes sparkled as she looked at the man in front of her, her pretty face filled with a pitiful expression.

God knows how much she wants to go out and see other scenery, but Stefan doesn't let her go out at all, fearing that she might get his precious daughter hurt.

When she was pregnant with Jimmy before, she even worked part-time everywhere to earn money, but Jimmy was safe and sound.

In Martha's opinion, Stefan seemed to be very cautious since it was the first time he encountered her being pregnant.

After hesitating for a while, Stefan couldn't resist Martha's coquettishness and finally agreed.

Martha's mood became much better after she heard a satisfactory answer.

"Finally, I can go out and have a look. Going to a dinner party to relax and unwind would be nice."

Martha continued to eat while humming a tune.

After taking a sip of pork rib soup, she said with all seriousness, "I'm going to the dinner party with you to protect you. I'm afraid those young girls outside might have some tricks up their sleeves."
