Chapter 2259
“Roscoe.
” a cheerful voice called from behind.
Doreen noticed Roscoe was distracted and asked, “What are you looking at?”
Without mentioning Nicole, Roscoe turned and replied, “Nothing.
”
Doreen doubted him.
She had just witnessed him lost in deep thought, staring intensely.
She glanced downstairs where Roscoe had been looking, but saw nothing there.
Nicole had already disappeared around the corner, so naturally, Doreen saw nothing there.
Relieved that Roscoe wasn’t hiding anything, Doreen happily waved her medical report, exclaiming, “Look, the doctor says I’m in great shape, perfect for having a baby!”
Roscoe barely glanced at the medical report, merely grunting in response.
Doreen gazed at Roscoe’s handsome face, her cheeks flushing as she suggested, “Roscoe, we… You don’t need to wait for the wedding… We could start trying for a baby now.
”
Their families had already discussed the engagement and wedding, with both parents eager for the events to happen soon.

Doreen was especially impatient, wishing her wedding day was tomorrow.
She and Roscoe hadn’t been together very long, only about a month.
So far, their intimacy had only progressed to her linking arms with him.
They hadn’t even held hands.
No matter how subtly Doreen hinted, Roscoe did not respond, never initiating anything, which left her feeling anxious and frustrated.
After all, being a woman, it wasn’t proper for her to be too forward.
Yet, Roscoe was unresponsive as if he were made of stone.
Doreen had even arranged for people to test Roscoe, sending both seductive and innocent women his way, but Roscoe showed no interest, giving no one any opportunity.
While this reassured Doreen, she couldn’t shake the fear that perhaps Roscoe wasn’t interested in women at all… Maybe he had some unusual preferences…
This thought haunted Doreen, especially since she noticed that Roscoe seemed unusually attentive to Nicole.
It was more than just attention.
The usually reserved Roscoe had actually initiated a conversation with Nicole.
Every glance they shared made Doreen uneasy because Roscoe never looked at her that way.
In fact, he barely looked at her at all.
Worrying about this, Doreen grew more anxious, pulling on Roscoe’s arm as she continued, “Roscoe if I get pregnant now, it won’t show at the wedding.
That would be perfect, right?”
Roscoe furrowed his brows slightly, keeping his hands tucked in his pockets.
He was not fond of Doreen’s touch.
Even her touching his clothes was uncomfortable for him.
At times, Roscoe doubted the rumors that he and Doreen had ever been a couple.
If they truly had been a couple, why would her touch irritate him so much? Even her sleeve brushing against him was unbearable.
The idea of having a child with her seemed even more intolerable.
Roscoe answered evasively, “We’ll talk about it later.
