The Officer's Runaway Wife and Secret Son novel Chapter 542

Clara took a look. It was a strict dietary restriction list for pregnancy.

It categorized over twenty major items to avoid, including cold foods, spicy dishes, high sugar, high caffeine, and any products containing alcohol.

Clara's mouth twitched slightly. "Are you really pregnant?"

"Yeah, six weeks," Emily said, rubbing her stomach with an agonized expression. "If I knew he'd treat me like a high-risk prisoner, I wouldn't have told him so early. He's lecturing me every time I take a sip of ice water. How am I supposed to survive the next few months?"

Because of the holidays and Clara's remarriage, Emily had been drinking quite a bit lately. Even though the doctors assured them that early alcohol consumption likely wouldn't have a major impact, Daniel was still a nervous wreck.

According to Emily, the night she tested positive at home, Daniel didn't sleep a wink. First thing the next morning, he dragged her to the best OBGYN in the city to see a top specialist.

Felix came running over, his little feet pattering against the floor. "Aunt Emily, do you have a baby in your tummy?"

"I do." Emily gently pinched Felix's cheek. "Does Felix want a little brother or a little sister?"

Felix thought about it very seriously. "Either one is fine."

Then he dashed off again.

But he kept looking back at Emily's stomach, deep in thought.

Beyond the in-person gatherings, their weekend evening video calls had also become a staple tradition.

That night, just after dinner, Simon's video call rang through.

When the screen connected, it split into three squares. Aside from Simon, Noah was also on the line.

"Clara, just keeping you in the loop." Simon took a bite of his apple on screen. "I handed my resignation and your termination agreement to President Turner today."

Ever since Rhys and Simon had discussed it, the idea had taken root in Simon's mind.

He was a man who craved freedom. Back when he was an influencer and a model, he traveled the world without a care. Being chained to an office desk had always felt suffocating.

But he hadn't been able to resist the massive compensation President Turner offered.

Between the high salary, the dividends, the elite resources, and his connection with Noah, he had gritted his teeth and stuck it out.

When the topic of starting his own company came up, he tossed and turned over it for a long time.
