But Scarlett felt shy to discuss preparation for pregnancy with Raymond.
They had good living habits and were in good health. Her period was delayed for so long. She might be pregnant.
Soon, Alexis got pregnancy test sticks and put them into Scarlett’s hand. Alexis said, "Go to test it!" Scarlett felt embarrassed and said, "Isn't morning urine more accurate?" Besides, she didn’t have the impulse to pee.

Alexis said, "Your period has been delayed for half a month. You may have been pregnant for more than 40 days.
The technology is advanced. If you are pregnant, it can be detected. Hurry up!" Scarlett held pregnancy test sticks and said, "I don't have the impulse to pee..." With a glass of water in her hand, Alexis said, "OK, | got it. Come on! Drink it." Scarlett looked at the large glass of water and took it from Alexis' hand resignedly. Even if she drank it, she wouldn't have the impulse to pee immediately. She said," Don’t look at me. Your soup becomes cold. Drink it." Alexis was excited, but the soup was about to become cold indeed. She could only pick it up, raise her head and gulp it down.
As soon as she drank it, she asked Scarlett, "Do you have the impulse to pee?" Scarlett rolled her eyes at Alexis and said," Are you kidding?" Alexis smiled awkwardly and poured another glass of water. She said to Scarlett, "Would you like to have another glass of water?" Scarlett ignored her. After more than 10 minutes, Scarlett went to the restroom finally.
Scarlett always kept calm when she faced various things. However, when she saw red lines both appearing on the pregnancy test sticks, her hands trembled slightly.
She was pregnant.
Alexis became impatient outside the door. Scarlett had walked into the restroom for a while. Alexis pated on the door and shouted, "Lettie, how is it? Could | come in? I. Before Alexis finished speaking, the door was pulled open.
Scarlett glanced at her and handed the pregnancy test sticks to her.

Alexis took them from Scarlett’s hand and looked down at them. Then she said excitedly, "Oh my God! Lettie, you will be a mother! I'm so happy! | will have a daughter!" Scarlett was teased by her and said, "Why do you know that it's a daughter?" Alexis said, "It will be a daughter! It will be my daughter!" Although Alexis was excited, she was still rational. She said, "Alright. Tell Raymond the good news! Go to the hospital and confirm how long you have been pregnant! Hurry up!" Alexis pushed Scarlett out of the restroom gently. Scarlett had no other choice but walked downstairs with the pregnancy test sticks in her hand.
Raymond and Justin were talking about the current economy downstairs. When Raymond saw Scarlett, he paused.
Justin stopped talking and said, "I would like to go upstairs to see Lex." Then he nodded to Scarlett and went upstairs.
Only Raymond and Scarlett were left in the large hall. Scarlett walked in front of Raymond, and her heart beat fast. She said, "Raymond, | have good news to tell you.” Raymond looked down at her and pulled her hair behind her ear. He asked, "What?" Scarlett raised her hand, opened her palm and showed the pregnancy test sticks to him. She said, "You will be a father."
