Chapter 735 She Likes This Boy
The next second, Anna snapped out of her thoughts and smiled brightly at Jimmy, who wasstanding behind her.
"Jimmy, can I feed Nick some food?" she asked.
"Of course you can," Jimmy replied with a smile before adding, "Just wait here."
He disappeared in a flash and returned with a bag of freeze-dried pet snacks.
...
In the lobby, Martha and Bianca were still chatting when Melissa's voice suddenly came from thedoor.
"Martha, I'm here," she announced.novelbin
"Why did it take you so long?" Martha turned to look at Melissa and breathed a sigh of relief whenshe saw that her friend looked healthy and glowing.
As Eden carried their shopping bags to the kitchen for them, Melissa explained happily, "We went tothe supermarket on our way here. Since you just got back home, my husband and I decided to stayfor dinner tonight."
She walked over to sit next to Bianca. "Bianca, your cooking is so delicious. I've been craving it allday!"
Bianca beamed with happiness upon hearing this compliment.
She looked lovingly at Melissa who had been pregnant for more than four months now.
"As long as you like it here," she said warmly while gesturing towards Martha's growing belly besidethem. "You can stay as long as you want. You guys can keep each other company."
Melissa's eyes lit up in surprise. "Can I really stay?"
Bianca cooked well, and knew many things about pregnancy. Most importantly - her best friendMartha was also pregnant!
If Melissa stayed there, then they could both take care of each other during their pregnancies!
With a gentle smile on her face that made her eyes sparkle even more brightly than before, Biancareplied, "Of course! Taking care of one pregnant woman is no different from taking care of two."
Melissa laughed even harder upon hearing this but soon noticed something amiss when she sawMartha's glowing face."
"You... you haven't had any morning sickness these past few days?" She asked hesitantly
When they video-chatted two days ago, didn't she see how sickly pale-looking Martha was? Howcome today she appeared rosy-cheeked?
Did Martha put on makeup or something?
Martha hesitated briefly before giving Melissa an eye signal, indicating not to reveal anything abouther...
Understanding what this meant immediately, Melissa realized that Martha was still suffering morningsickness but put on makeup secretly to not worry Maxwell and Bianca.
Since that's the case, she won't expose Martha.
After saying a few more words, Bianca went to the kitchen to cook.
When Martha and Melissa were the only ones left in the hall, Martha's shoulders relaxedmomentarily and she leaned wearily on the couch.
"I'm exhausted."
To keep her father and Bianca from worrying, she had done a lot.
Martha got up tiredly and reached out to gently touch Melissa's belly, "I envy the little one in yourbelly, so well behaved."
Melissa raised her eyebrows slightly and smiled, "Such a well-behaved baby is probably really agirl."
Martha blinked her eyes and spoke in a warm voice, "So, this is a baby boy in my belly?"
Melissa, who was sitting next to her, was about to nod when she suddenly remembered that whenMartha was pregnant with Jimmy, she didn't have such a hard time.
She shook her head uncertainly as she thought this in her mind.
"Not necessarily. When you were pregnant with Jimmy, you didn't react this much."
Martha thought about it seriously, and then nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, this one of mine could be a naughty girl."
After she said this, she reached out and gently placed her hand on her stomach, with a light smile atthe corner of her mouth, "By then, I hope your kid won't be bullied by my naughty girl."
"If I have a boy, it's okay that he's bullied by your girl. If I have a girl, I'll teach her to be good andquiet, so that your naughty girl is embarrassed to beat her."
Melissa couldn't stop herself from laughing when she said this.
Martha could not help but laugh, "You are so jumpy. Are you sure you can make your girl behavelike a lady?"
"One should have dreams!"
Melissa laughed and winked, leaning back on the sofa and raising her eyebrows, "Martha, do youthink I should have a second child after this one is born?"
"Yes, " Martha did not hesitate in the slightest and gave a direct answer.
When Melissa heard this, she frowned in confusion and turned her head to look at her best friendsitting beside her.
"Why?"
"If you have two children, they can take care of each other. It save you from worry to some extent."
Martha ate the fruit that the maid had just brought up while handing it to Melissa, "You eat some too.More fruit is good for you and the baby."
Melissa nodded approvingly, eating the fruit as she said, "You have a point, and when the biggerone grow old a little bit, he or she can take care of my second child."
"When they get a little older, we can go on a trip around the world."
Melissa's eyes lit up at this idea. "That's a great idea! We can live our own lives without worryingabout the kids."
"I have so many places I want to go that I haven't been to yet," Melissa added as she began todaydream about their future retirement.
Martha smiled warmly and said in a gentle voice, "We'll go see all of the local sights in every countrywe visit. We'll make new friends, attend bonfires and climb mountains together."
"Okay!" Melissa replied happily with her eyebrows raised beside Martha.
...
After Jimmy became familiar with Anna over time at the Doyle Manor, he took her almosteverywhere on its grounds.
Finally exhausted from walking around so much, Anna stopped walking pitifully rubbing herstomach. "Jimmy hungry."
Jimmy was about to speak but suddenly realized something was wrong. He seriously replied,"Jimmy is not hungry."
"Hungry!" Anna pouted before repeating herself again.
"Anna hungry?" Jimmy stepped forward gently touching Anna's hair.
Anna tilted her head silently for half a moment before nodding slightly. They had played for severalhours now, and she was very hungry. She wanted meat, ice cream, and eggs too!
When Jimmy saw Anna's cute expression, he couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Anna'scheek. Her cheeks were tender like boiled eggs. Her big eyes blinked like stars in the sky, dazzlinglybright.
He thought that this was his most beautiful sister ever seen; just like an adorable doll - well-behaved, cute, and pretty.
In the end, it was still Anna who spoke first interrupting Jimmy's thoughts, "Jimmy, why aren't yousaying anything?"
When Jimmy snapped back to reality, he remembered what Anna had just said and chuckled. "It'sAnna who's hungry, not Jimmy."
Anna blinked and nodded in agreement.
"Jimmy hungry," she added.
Hearing this made Jimmy chuckle even more. The little girl couldn't quite understand the meaningbehind her own words yet, but that was okay as long as he understood her.
He gave up on continuing to teach Anna and instead asked with concern, "What do you want to eat,Anna?"
"Egg custard and meat," she replied.
When Anna looked up at Jimmy standing before her with her big bright eyes shining, it left himstunned. But it wasn't just him; even Anna was frozen in place. She thought to herself howhandsome this big brother was. She liked him a lot and wished she could see him every day.
Meanwhile, Jimmy thought how adorable this little girl was; if only she were really his sister...
Once Jimmy came back from his thoughts, he smiled and took hold of Anna's hand, saying, "Comeon then! Let me take you have something delicious."
"Okay!" replied the excitedly beaming Anna as they walked towards the living room together step bystep.
