Deceiving Her Ears: Ignoring Your Call-Chapter 117: There’s a Baby in Here

Natalie Kendall’s eyes flashed, and she looked at Isaac Vaughn, saying with great seriousness, "I’ve heard Mia’s Grandmother is quite extraordinary."

Isaac Vaughn: "Hmm? In what way?"

Natalie blinked and pulled his hand to her stomach, telling him mysteriously, "Mia’s Grandmother said there’s a little baby in here."

Isaac Vaughn was stunned.

After a while, he came to his senses, looked at Natalie, and saw the sly look on her face, realizing he had been tricked by her.

By this time, Mia’s Grandmother had already finished touching Natalie’s stomach and turned to leave.

Isaac Vaughn coughed lightly, playing along with her.

"Really?"

He gently stroked her stomach, suppressing a laugh, "Well — little baby, be good and don’t trouble your mommy."

Natalie asked, "Do you want to listen?"

Isaac Vaughn met her gaze, chuckling.

Compliantly, he bent down and placed his ear on her stomach.

Although he couldn’t carry a child, he vaguely knew that fetal movement occurs at least four or five months in.

And besides, there isn’t a baby here.

Nevertheless, he seriously pretended to hear the fetal movement and earnestly began a conversation with the "little baby" inside Natalie’s stomach: "Hi, hello. I’m your old man."

"Hey!" Natalie frowned and nudged him.

Isaac Vaughn quickly corrected himself, "Ahem, I’m your daddy. Well, nice to meet you, and please take care of me."

Initially, he was awkward, but later, somehow he got into character.

"We don’t know if you’re a boy or a girl, but daddy hopes you’re a girl, a pretty little princess. When you grow up, daddy will buy you lots of beautiful little dresses, and a princess crown, and what else, hmm, princess shoes."

"Remember, all men except daddy are bad guys, especially little blondies. Absolutely can’t like them, you must stay far away from them."

"Promise me you’ll never marry anyone for life. What a good girl."

Listening to this, Natalie suddenly turned her head away.

After wiping her eyes, she turned back and pulled him up, "Alright, you’ve said so much, it’s probably annoyed by now."

Isaac Vaughn, however, wasn’t done, "No way, I still have lots to advise our daughter."

"Where did the daughter come from?"

Natalie finished speaking, and Isaac Vaughn froze.

Yes.

Isn’t it fake, acting?

Why did he still...

Isaac Vaughn shook his head, thinking he was quite amusing.

Natalie breathed out, and handed the egg that Mia’s Grandmother gave her to Isaac Vaughn.

"You must be hungry? I’ll get you something to eat."

——

Isaac Vaughn’s foot was inconvenient.

Natalie brought the food inside for him to eat.

After he finished eating, Isaac fell asleep.

He was actually exhausted, but because he was worried about Natalie, he hadn’t relaxed until he saw she was safe and sound.

Now the energy he’d been holding onto dispersed, and overwhelming fatigue tightly enveloped him.

As soon as his head hit the pillow, he fell into a deep sleep.

Natalie took the cleaned bowl outside, intending to wash it, but Mia’s Mom snatched it from her.

"Miss Kendall, please go out. The kitchen isn’t clean."

"No, you’ve tidied it up very nicely."

Mia’s Mom smiled awkwardly but still asked her to go out quickly.

Just as Natalie turned and went out, Lucas Lowell approached her and asked, "Could it be Second Master Vaughn’s suspicious that you and I have something going on, so he ran all this way to keep an eye on us?"

Natalie ignored him, but he continued to pursue her, saying, "After all, I’m handsome, charming, and wealthy, which definitely gives him a sense of crisis."

"Are you done?"

Standing at the door, Natalie asked Lucas Lowell.

Lucas Lowell pouted, "Tonight I’ll switch rooms with you."

"Why?"

"Second Master Vaughn’s foot is injured, right? This way, if he wakes up at night, I can support him. Can you manage that? You just go to my room and have a good rest."

"No, thank you."

Natalie finished speaking, entered the room, and closed the door.

Lucas Lowell was left outside the door, looking helpless.

Turning around, he saw Mia standing a few steps away, her face showing an indescribable expression that she hadn’t had a chance to retract.

"What are you doing, what are you doing!" Lucas Lowell rushed over to her in a few steps, gritting his teeth, "I saw it all! Wooden Mia, tell me, what was that look just now!"

Mia spoke earnestly, "Mr. Lowell, I know you’re eager to be a backup option, but I advise you not to rush."

Lucas Lowell: "!!"

"Miss Kendall and Mr. Vaughn are currently in a good relationship, showing no signs of divorce. You need to keep your distance, maintain boundaries, or you’ll be easily misunderstood as a third party wanting to intervene. The main thing is, Miss Kendall isn’t interested in you. What you’re doing is considered harassment."

Lucas Lowell was so angry he laughed and even shivered.

"Alright. Very well spoken. Come on, you come here and continue your speech."

He made a move to take Mia to a quiet place to deal with (not), and to lecture her individually.

This had gone too far!

That a little assistant dared to educate him.

It must be because he usually acts too kindly towards her and gave her the impression he was approachable.

"I’ve already said it all, no more to say."

Mia refused Lucas Lowell.

She felt that her previous words should have been enough to touch his soul.

Next, he should find a place, and seriously think about her words.

With that, she turned and walked away.

Lucas Lowell watched her back, losing his breath and almost passing out.

——

Isaac Vaughn developed a fever in the latter half of the night.

Natalie felt herself wrapped by a large furnace, and when she woke up, his face was already flushed red from the fever.

"Isaac Vaughn? Isaac Vaughn?"

She wanted to get him medicine, but Isaac Vaughn held her tightly and wouldn’t let go.

To him at this moment, her body temperature was much cooler.

He longed for her coolness, his burning lips pressed against her neck.

It took Natalie some effort to break free from his hug and immediately got up to find Mia for medicine.

Although it was late, it was necessary even if it was bothersome.

This alarmed Mia’s Dad and Mom, as well as Lucas Lowell.

When they took his temperature, it was almost 40 degrees.

Natalie’s face immediately turned pale.

Fortunately, Mia’s Mom said, "Go find Old Man Garrison! Even though he’s a barefoot doctor, anyone with any illness in the village goes to him!"

"Yes! Old Man Garrison! Find him! I’ll go! I’ll go right now!" Mia’s Dad put on his clothes and went out.

Mia held Natalie’s hand, finding her hand particularly cold, and comforted, "Miss Kendall, don’t worry, don’t panic."

"I’ll, I’ll give him medicine first."

Natalie forced herself to calm down, took the medicine, and fed it to Isaac Vaughn.

However, Isaac Vaughn had already lost consciousness by this point, and the medicine wouldn’t go down. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

Watching his handsome face flush while his temperature burned,

Natalie became anxious and flustered, and in her emotional agitation, her abdomen suddenly started to hurt.
