CHAPTER 38: HIS HEART IS BEATING SO FAST

Tyree smiled the moment he heard Orlenna’s suggestion.

He had heard something of what happened after Bruce woke up last night.

He was also worried after this car accident. If Bruce could get married and have children early, perhaps this car accident would not be a calamity to the entire Anderson family.

"Mom, Bruce has just woken up. He still needs to rest. We don’t have to have a child in such a hurry."

Hilla pursed her lips with a red face, her heart was thumping non-stop.

As soon as Bruce woke up, they thought of the matter of the next generation, Hilla could imagine that they would urge her to have the Anderson babies.

When she had agreed to marry Bruce, she had rejoiced that her husband was in a vegetative state and did not need to worry about her mother-in-law urging her to have babies.

Only now did she understand that she thought too well of the marriage.

Not only did she need to handle her mother-in-law, sister-in-law, and other relatives,

and the most terrifying thing was to force her to give birth...

She and Bruce had not even done that kind of thing, how could they have a child?

"I know you young people are not in a hurry, but we old people are in a hurry. We are really scared when we think about what happened to Bruce this time. Hilla, you have to understand, and have a baby with Bruce earlier..."

As Orlenna spoke, she couldn’t help but sob. Lysa and Margaret comforted her beside.

"Orlenna, don’t worry. Aren’t Hilla and Bruce still young? Look at how old our Rudi is. He doesn’t even have a wife. At the very least, you still have a daughter-in-law."

Although she said this, Lysa couldn’t help but argue in her heart, How could I forget it? We should not only compete for the family property. Having a child is the most important thing.

Orlenna is more scheming than me. Now that Bruce had woken up, if Hilla had a child, Master Anderson would hand over the entire Anderson Group to them.

At that time, it would be even more difficult for us.

Thinking about it, Lysa’s heart also sank. It seemed that she had to hurry up and let her son get married and have children.

"What do you think, Hilla?"

Orlenna looked at Hilla with red eyes, and the expectation and urgency in her eyes couldn’t be hidden at all.

Hilla was stunned for a moment. Now she knew what it was like to be urged to have babies. In the past, she had read something from the Internet and didn’t feel anything. Moreover, she got married at a young age. She had never been urged to get married.

It was the first time she felt the pressure of being urged by the elders. She was overwhelmed.

Hilla fixed her gaze on Bruce, slightly furrowing her eyebrows. Shouldn’t he, her husband, say something at this time?

"Hilla is still young. It’s no rush at all."

Before Hilla could reply, Tyree had already taken the lead and spoke.

Although he said he was not in a hurry, Hilla could see the disappointment in his eyes. Her heart tightened.

She must have hurt the two elders.

"Grandpa, Mom, Hilla likes children very much, and we also want to have one. But I just woke up. Hilla is worried that I can’t do it," Bruce chuckled.

There was something in his words. Hilla immediately blushed when she heard him saying he couldn’t do it.

"Why did he say such things in front of me?

"Besides, when did I say that I liked children? When did I say that I also wanted to have one? Bruce, don’t frame me!"

Orlenna came back to her senses and quickly said, "Take care of yourself first. Your health is the most important thing. These days, Hilla has been taking care of you every day. Now you are awake, Hilla doesn’t have to work so hard. It’s just nice to let Horton give you two a supplement."

Hilla had just let out a sigh of relief, but she didn’t expect that Orlenna’s next words were so scary.

No matter what, Orlenna still had to let her have a child!

Hilla’s small face looked ugly, but she still forced a smile in front of the crowd.

After everyone left, there were only she and Bruce in the room. She sat on the bed angrily and bit her lips, "I won’t give birth to a child."

She had to do that with Bruce if she gave birth to a child. She was still young and knew nothing. She was afraid!

Bruce frowned. Last night, he had been comforting her for the entire night. He had not rested well. After dealing with so many people just now, he got really bad headaches.

Hearing that Hilla didn’t want to have a baby, he looked as usual and only said, "Mom didn’t ask you to have a baby immediately."

"But she asked me to take care of my health and asked Horton to prescribe me medicine."

At the thought that she needed to drink bitter and unpleasant medicine, Hilla felt that her life was hard.

"She just said that. You can skip it. Besides, how can you give birth to a child alone?" Wasn’t this a matter that needed two people to work hard together? He couldn’t even stand up in his current state, so how could he have the strength to make children with her?

Hilla turned back and glared at Bruce. Her face puffed up.

"Don’t think that I am so young that can’t understand the meaning of your words. Don’t you mean that you don’t like her and don’t want to have a child with me?

"It was useless even if you don’t like me. I am Mrs. Anderson now. Even if you like me, it is useless. I don’t want to have a baby."

Bruce did not expect that in such a short time, her head could be filled with foolish notions.

Seeing Hilla glaring at him, he waved his hand and said, "My leg hurts. Please massage it for me."

He had used too much strength last night. He was still not good now. He might injure his tendons. If he asked Horton to come over, Orlenna would feel worried about him. So he could only let Hilla take care of him.

"You deserve it. What does it have to do with me? I’m not your servant. You can do it yourself."

Unexpectedly, not only did Hilla not feel bad for him, she even glared at him even harder. She grabbed the pillow and threw it on him, then left the room.

She left him here alone!

In the studio of River University.

"Your mother-in-law wants you to give birth to a child now? Gee, Hilla. While others are still worrying about her boyfriend, you skipped the stage of dating, family obstruction, marriage, and reached the stage of having a child... Your mother-in-law is a badass."

Lily shook her head. Thinking about how Hilla was forced to give birth, she couldn’t help but look at Hilla’s belly.

"When are you and Bruce planning to have a baby?" "Don’t talk nonsense. We don’t have..." Hilla frowned, and her face turned red.

Lily covered her mouth and exclaimed, "Bruce hasn’t been awake for so many days, but he still hasn’t slept with you."

"Don’t tell me he really can’t do that now!" Lily thought.

"Don’t talk nonsense. If I want to do it, I will do it. Why must he take initiative? No! Who wants to do it? We are innocent."

"You’ve been married for a few months. Who would believe that you’re innocent?"

Lily pursed her lips. Hilla couldn’t help but frown. Yes, she was already married to Bruce. Even if they divorced in the future, no one would believe that she was innocent!

...

Hilla had spent half a day drawing in the studio in the morning and had drawn the design for Julian.

Lily looked at the flight attendant’s clothing and said enviously, "This dress is so beautiful, and the flight attendant is too beautiful. If I was beautiful, I wouldn’t work in the studio every day."

Hilla glanced at her and laughed, "Don’t tell me you want to dress up beautifully every day and hit on man everywhere."

"I’m not as charming as you. By the way, there’s a management class in the afternoon. I’ll save a seat for you."

Lily lived in the school dormitory, so it was much more convenient.

Ever since Hilla married Bruce, she had never lived in the dormitory. Thinking about her books in the dormitory, she wanted to take them back to the Anderson’s. These books were all her treasures!

"Why didn’t I see Rigel recently?"

Rigel had intentionally avoided her in the past few days. Hilla didn’t see him every time she came here. Even if she saw him in the corridor of the building, he would walk away indifferently.

Lily sighed, "Since you finished drawing the board and the school bus, I have never seen that he went to the studio again. I heard that he has beautiful and slender hands. He quits painting and begins fencing."

He was gentle and polite. He was cool and cute. But he did quit painting and take on sports.

Hilla was also surprised. She didn’t expect that Rigel liked fencing, this kind of sport.

He thought that a man like him would only like drawing and playing the piano.

"There will be the school anniversary next month. Do you think Rigel learns to fence because he has to perform at the school anniversary?"

It should be just a performance project. He should not like sports like fencing.

Hilla nodded his head in agreement. She also felt that it should be the case.

After Bruce woke up, he did not recover very soon. On the contrary, he looked particularly weak, because he accidentally caught a cold.

Hilla took care of him every day. Hilla was blamed for his sickness. When Orlenna asked her to close the window at night, Hilla felt that she was blaming her for opening the glass door on the balcony at night, which made Bruce sick.

When Hilla gave the medicine to Bruce, she was angry, "Your mom asked you to take the medicine."

Bruce received the medicine and was glared at by her. He was confused, "Why are

you angry when I’m sick?"

He found it funny, and he couldn’t help but laugh at Hilla as well.

Hearing his question, Hilla felt a bit worried. She pursed her lips and snorted coldly, "I’m not angry."

"Then what’s wrong with mom asking me to take the medicine? Or did she let you take it too?"

The corners of Bruce’s mouth curled into a faint smile. In the past few days, in order to let Hilla get pregnant as soon as possible, Orlenna had got a lot of supplements for her. She was so scared that she didn’t dare to stay with Orlenna.

"Your mother asked me to close the window at night, as if I were the one who makes you sick. Is it my fault?"

She didn’t know why he took a cold shower when he was weak. Now he caught a cold. Orlenna blamed her for not taking care of him.

Bruce knew that she felt wronged, so he held back his laughter and said, "It’s my fault!"

"It’s your fault. Why should I close the window?"

"Mom was just reminding you out of good intentions."

"Don’t lie to me. She just thinks that I didn’t take good care of you and I am not as careful as her. She still thinks that I am unreliable. To be honest, she just doesn’t trust me."

Hilla was furious at not being trusted.

Bruce said helplessly, "Are mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really the natural enemies?"

He didn’t believe it before, but now he believed it. The discord between Hilla and Orlenna became more obvious after he woke up.

Hilla snorted, muttering, "I didn’t say that she is an enemy? I am not such a narrow-minded woman."

"Yes, Mrs. Anderson is broad-minded."

She could tell from his voice that he was smiling. Hilla quickly turned around and looked at him suspiciously, "Why do I feel that it is sarcasm? You are laughing at me."

She was very sensitive in sarcasm. Bruce raised his eyebrows, "No, it is not sarcasm."

Hilla looked at him who was focusing on the computer screen and said, "Do you mean it?"

Bruce did not even raise his head as he replied, "I mean it."

"Who knows if you mean it from the bottom of your heart!"

Hilla’s understanding of Bruce was limited to bed. When there were only the two of them, he spoke very casually. When she was angry, he would patiently comfort her. He looked gentle and easy to get along with.

However, she had heard that Bruce was ruthless and decisive in business. He was the ruler of the business empire who never showed any mercy to anyone.

She didn’t know if the person she knew was the same person she had heard.

However, the current Bruce was scary except that what he did to Rudi that night.

"It’s easy for you to make sure. Just touch my heart yourself and you will know."

Bruce suddenly raised his head. Before Hilla could react, he grabbed her wrist and pressed her hand against his chest.

The sound of a strong heartbeat shook her palm.

His eyes looked beautiful under the light and he said in a hoarse voice, "Did you feel it?"

Hilla looked at his eyes in a daze. In a panic, she pulled her hand back and whispered with a brushed face, "Your heartbeat is so fast."

She didn’t know if it was referring to his heartbeat or her own. Bruce said, "Do you believe what I told you?" "If you are not sure, you can listen carefully."

Bruce was about to go up and hug her when he finished speaking. Hilla was so frightened that she quickly stood up from the bed. She took two steps back and held the towel with a vigilant look. She blushed as he looked at him on the bed. After a while, she threw the towel into Bruce’s arms and pouted, "You are shameless."

She was young, but she knew that Bruce was flirting with her.

He wanted to take the opportunity to touch and hug her, and he was definitely flirting with her.

thirty-year-old man like him was very experienced. He had already flirted with countless beautiful girls. Now, he wanted to make a move to her. Was she so superficial that she would easily be tempted by him?

Bruce didn’t know why Hilla scolded him. He had said it with such deep affection, but why did she say that he was shameless?

Moreover, she was his wife. Was there anything wrong with his behavior?
