Chapter 2483: Chapter 189: Caught Pregnant
"What are you afraid of?" Originally about to stand up, David Redington sat back down and held her hand.
His thin lips landed on Leslie Howard’s forehead, coaxing his beloved wife even in front of Little Xavier without any shyness: "Baby, you’re doing great, there’s nothing to fear."
"But I’m afraid I won’t be able to take care of the baby well, or maybe I won’t become a qualified mother..."
She hated being so sentimental, feeling so useless.
But whenever she thought of the heavy responsibilities she would bear in the future, and perhaps one day turning into someone like Sheila Fletcher, she hated herself even more.
Perhaps because everything happened so suddenly, beyond her expectations, she had thought she’d get pregnant only after marriage, when she could be better prepared.
"Sister, is there a baby in your tummy? Are you going to be a mom?" Just then, Little Xavier’s soft voice echoed.
He squeezed over, raising his little head, his eyes shining with expectation as he looked at Leslie Howard.
Seeing Little Xavier like this, Leslie Howard instinctively nodded, making a sound of agreement.
Little Xavier’s face immediately lit up with a smile: "Then Little Xavier is going to be an uncle, and I’ll help sister take care of the baby, just like sister takes care of me."
The smile on the little boy’s face was sincere and warm.
The happier he smiled, the more it proved Leslie Howard’s thorough care for this younger brother as his sister.
Even though they weren’t siblings by blood.
Little Xavier’s words were like a splash of cold water, waking Leslie Howard from her moment of confusion.
Yes, she had always been good to Little Xavier, close to him since he was young, so she would certainly treat her future baby just as well.
She wasn’t Sheila Fletcher; even if they shared the same blood, she wouldn’t necessarily become like her mother.
The tightly knit brows finally relaxed. Seeing how her beloved wife was untangled by her young brother-in-law’s innocent words, David Redington felt both delighted and a bit jealous.

A few hours later, at the Reddington Medical Center.
After handing Little Xavier over to one of David Redington’s followers, Leslie Howard followed David Redington alone to undergo a checkup.
The waiting time for the results was so hard to endure.
Leslie Howard leaned slightly at David Redington’s side, resting her face on his shoulder, feeling both hopeful and nervous.
Just then, the door to the VIP lounge was pushed open.
Leslie Howard glanced sideways nervously, thinking it was the doctor, but unexpectedly, a woman with long wavy hair and delicate beauty walked in.
The newcomer wore an extremely exquisite and beautiful dress، showing her snow-white slender legs and exuding a charming glow.
"David Redington, you actually brought a woman for a prenatal checkup behind my back, and you didn’t even inform me!" The woman, having just flown back from abroad, rushed over immediately upon getting gossip messages on WhatsApp from Diana at the medical center.
She merely went abroad on holiday with Aidan Lucas, and didn’t expect her brother to stir up such ’big news’ at home.
Upon hearing the accusatory tone of that beautiful and vivacious woman, Leslie Howard’s heart twisted suddenly.
But the next second, recognizing the visitor who seemed unexpectedly familiar, almost as if... as if she had personally met this eldest daughter of the Reddington family, Lily Redington, a few years ago.
She suddenly... suddenly blushed.
This, isn’t this David Redington’s sister? His closest family member.
Even someone like Leslie Howard, who usually has complete control over David Redington with a ’Queen’ demeanor,
couldn’t help but feel shy in front of his most important family.
Suddenly, Leslie Howard shrank back a bit, hiding behind David Redington, like an ’ugly daughter-in-law afraid to meet her in-laws.’
She really didn’t expect to be caught by David Redington’s family doing a prenatal checkup.
