The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

The fax machine beside Chloe suddenly rang, its shrill beeping breaking the silence of the room.

Chloe’s eyes flickered with curiosity as she stood up and approached the machine.

With her hand resting on it, her gaze fixed on the paper that lay quietly there, she hesitated for a moment, but

eventually picked it up.

The paper listed advice for expectant mothers, common worries intermingled with old wives’ tales. Chloe skimmed

through them, each point resonating with a mix of truth and superstition: “b2

1. Avoid Fear: Many women harbor a fear of childbirth, which can affect their eating and sleeping habits, and even

hinder their body’s natural stress responses, delaying the onset of labor.

2. Avoid Impatience: Some expectant mothers grow anxious for labor to begin, especially as their due date

approaches. They fail to understand that there’s a window of time around the due date when labor can naturally

begin.

3. Avoid Carelessness: Some women take their pregnancy too lightly, finding themselves ill-prepared when labor

starts, leading to panic and mistakes.

4. Avoid Exhaustion: Both physical and mental fatigue should be avoided during pregnancy. It’s important to reduce

activity and ensure adequate rest.

5. Avoid Laziness: Some women, fearing miscarriage or premature birth, become overly sedentary. This can lead to

a more difficult delivery.

6. Avoid Worry: Negative emotions can impact the smooth progress of childbirth.

7. Avoid Loneliness: Expectant mothers often feel nervous before delivery and crave encouragement and support,

especially from their partners.

8. Avoid Hunger: Given the physical demands of childbirth, it’s crucial for them to eat well before labor to maintain

their strength.

9. Avoid Travel: It’s best to avoid long trips, especially by car or boat. Because various conditions are restricted

during the journey, experiencing difficult childbirth is a dangerous situation that may jeopardize the safety of both

mother and child.

10. Avoid Medication: Childbirth is a natural process, and usually, medication isn’t needed. Misusing drugs or

resorting to induction without medical advice can have severe consequences.”

Chloe read through the list meticulously, a heartfelt smile spreading across her face as she bit her right index

finger. She knew this was how it would be. She was aware of the fears and concerns that could plague an expectant

mother, and she was doing her best to avoid them, but even with all her preparation, she couldn’t be completely
