She Became Rich After Divorce

Chapter 698: She is Pregnant

Today's main course is gobioid fish sashimi, naturally requiring the fresh fish meat to be thinly sliced and placed on a bed of ice, garnished with flowers and herbs, accompanied by rose carvings made from carrots, and sprinkled with some deep-sea fish roe.

The authentic fish broth sauce can be used to dip the fish meat or to be eaten together with sushi.

Another dish is sushi made from octopus roe.

Opening the container, he presented an oval-shaped ball resembling a goose yellow color. He used scissors to cut open the octopus roe bag inside, and a pale yellow liquid flowed out like running water.

He scooped it directly onto the sushi, and even Cheyenne, who was standing far away, could smell the fishy odor emanating from the octopus roe.

However, this generation of cuisine turned out to be worth a fortune!

Because this was no ordinary octopus; it was the King Octopus from the deep sea of Ozruefast, also known as the legendary "Water Monster."

The cost of salvaging one of these creatures could reach around 1 million, not to mention the additional transportation expenses.

After the chef plated the sushi and sashimi separately, he served them in front of the Miller family.

The Miller family seemed to be accustomed to this way of eating, enjoying their meal with relish.

Rohan noticed that Cheyenne hadn't touched her food and smiled as he asked, "Miss Lawrence, are you not used to this? This fish is very fresh, and the fish from the deep sea swims more freely, with firm muscles and no bacteria inside. You should give it a try; it's incredibly delicious and sweet."

Having reached this point, Cheyenne couldn't really refuse. She nodded with a faint expression and reached out to pick up a piece of raw fish with her fork.

She dipped it in the sauce and put it into her mouth.

Indeed, as he had said, there was no fishy taste. However, she felt something even more terrifying.Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

The fish was still moving!

The fish meat danced faintly between her lips and tongue, as if it were still alive and staring at him.

Cheyenne couldn't bring herself to bite into it with her teeth; she felt as if she were devouring raw human flesh, causing her to feel nauseous and on the verge of vomiting.

Meanwhile, Rohan continued eating and wiped his beard, praising, "The taste of this fish is truly sweet and fresh."

Cheyenne forced herself to eat a piece, but after that, she didn't touch her fork again.

Then, Rohan enthusiastically picked up piece after piece of octopus roe sushi and cheerfully said to her, "Miss Lawrence, you should also try this. Octopus roe has a high protein content and is extremely nutritious."

Her gaze fell upon the sushi on her plate, where she could visibly see the tiny octopus roe, some of which still seemed to be newly formed.

The fuzzy eight tentacles were almost within reach of her mouth, which made her, with her trypophobia, feel utterly disgusted just by looking at it.

Unable to hold back, her face changed color, and she awkwardly turned her body aside, covering her lips. Her inner turmoil surged, and her stomach spasms felt like cramps.

"Cheyenne, what's wrong?" Yvonne thought she was experiencing morning sickness and quickly brought her a glass of water. "Cheyenne, here. Drinking some water will make you feel better."

The eyes of everyone in the room turned towards her, their gazes scanning her.

Among those looks, especially the one filled with concern, followed her closely, and their gaze lowered to glance at her slightly swollen belly.

They probably knew the reason behind her abnormal behavior.

Her lips pressed tightly into a straight line.

If he had known that pregnancy would make her feel so uncomfortable, he would have never let her become pregnant.

Feeling slightly better, Cheyenne

straightened her posture and a trace

of apology appeared on her face. She spoke softly, "I'm sorry, I can't eat the octopus sushi. It's not that it doesn't taste good, but it's just that I...

Before Cheyenne could finish her sentence, a hand with distinct knuckles reached out from beside her.

A man wearing a silver mask swapped the shredded meat and cucumber sushi from his own plate to hers, and in one swift motion, he took a bite of the octopus roe sushi that Cheyenne had barely eaten. Everyone was shocked by his actions, and Charlotte, who had been kneeling silently on the side, looked at him, shocked.

"Mr. Walker, you and her..."

Kelvin, afraid of revealing his relationship with Cheyenne, explained in an unusually cold tone, "She's pregnant and can't eat this I'm just helping her out. After all, such a delicious thing shouldn't go to waste."

"So, Miss Lawrence is pregnant."

As his words fell, an awkward atmosphere filled the room.

When everyone's gaze fell upon Cheyenne's stomach, they jokingly said, "Apologies, we didn't notice at all. It seems Miss Lawrence is too slim. Butler, please bring her a bowl of congee." Cheyenne nodded in agreement. "It's still early in the pregnancy."

She turned out to be pregnant!

What a pity for such a beauty.

Master Elias, the charming man, felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

His enthusiasm for Cheyenne

diminished considerably, and he silently ate his meal. However, his eyes couldn't help but glance at her exceptionally beautiful face from time to time, filled with regret.

Why did she have to be pregnant?

In reality, Cheyenne didn't eat much throughout the meal, and she only took a few sips of the seafood congee before setting aside her cutlery.

Kelvin noticed everything.

He discreetly took out his phone under the table, opened Line, and quickly typed a few words on the chat interface with Chris.

After finishing their meal, the Miller family's ball began. Master Elias invited Cheyenne to dance, considering her pregnancy, and they chose the gentlest tango.

Her graceful dance movements drew admiration from many people.

Kelvin knelt on both knees on the side, and Charlotte looked at him with shy and timid eyes, inviting him in fluent Jostrana, "Mr. Walker, may I have this dance with you?"

"I don't know how to dance!"

Kelvin pursed his lips lightly and coldly rejected her kind invitation.

Then, when he saw Cheyenne pursing her red lips and laughing with the other man, Master Elias, he pulled Charlotte's arm with jealousy and walked towards the center of the dance floor. Charlotte thought with joy that he wanted to dance with her, but to her surprise, Kelvin pushed her into the crowd.

A sudden change of events forced Master Elias to release Cheyenne's hand and support his sister instead.

At the same time, Kelvin's hand changed to hold her not-so-delicate waist, while his other hand rested on her shoulder. Underneath the mask, his lips silently uttered a few words.

"I don't like the image of you being with him. It hurts my heart."

Despite his earlier advice to himself not to reveal their relationship, things were unfolding in a direction he couldn't control.
