Female Novel
Chapter 122
She nodded and blushed, "Although we've only started dating, we've known each other for a long time,
so naturally, we'd want to get married soon."
I smiled and said nothing more. At that time, Josiah called, so she left after putting the documents on
the table.
I picked up the call and greeted, "Hello, Doctor Saunders."
"Arianna, do you have time?" Judging from his tone, he sounded like he had something to discuss with
me.
Confusingly, I replied, "I'm going out with Monique tonight. What's the matter?"
After a moment of silence, the man on the other end of the line said, "It's nothing. Hendrix called andnovelbin
wanted me to examine you."
I grimaced, "I'm fine, don't worry."
"Did you guys fight?" he asked.
"Nope!" I replied swiftly.
Hendrix and I never actually had a legit argument. We were basically strangers at this point, and
strangers wouldn't have the same mindset on things, to begin with.
After some pauses, he spoke again, "Good to hear that. I have some supplements here with me. It's for
the baby. You should come and get it some time, and take it regularly."
"Okay, thank you!"
"You're welcome."
After a few more words of courtesy, I hung up the phone. Then, I looked at the time and realized that it
was time to get off work.
Remembering my date with Monique at the mall, I cleaned up my desk and went straight to the parking
lot to get my car.
Since the previous incident, I rarely parked my car in the underground garage. It had always been dim
and gave me a bad feeling anyway. Instead, I parked in the open-air parking lot right outside of the
office building. Although it couldn't provide the best shade for the car, it was a lot safer than the garage.
As I reversed the car out of the parking lot and was about to leave, I saw a familiar face. A black
Cayenne parked beside Austin's red sports car, and a middle-aged man was sitting in it. He was a little
fat, and his profile looked familiar to me.
I couldn't see the face of the middle-aged man who kidnapped me last time, but I could vividly
remember his silhouette. I stopped the car and tried to scrutinize the middle-aged man in the Cayenne.
However, the man drove away after a while.
I wasn't disappointed. After all, I didn't see the man's face clearly at that time. Many middle- aged men
were slightly fat. It would be hard to find him in the crowd.
After hesitation, I drove to the shopping mall where I was supposed to meet Monique.
When I arrived, Monique had already been waiting for me for quite some time. She pouted when she
saw me, and she complained, "Arianna, you're half an hour late."
I gave her the milk tea in my hand and apologized, "I'm sorry. There's a lot of traffic on the road. Here's
the milk tea I got for you as an apology."
She accepted the milk tea, "Well since you apologized, I'll let you off the hook."
The shopping mall we were in was one of the largest in the city center of Ucrebury. Monique seemed
overly excited. It had probably been quite some time since she last shopped. She also said that she
didn't eat anything in the morning just so she could enjoy the seafood buffet wholeheartedly.
I chuckled and couldn't help thinking back about our college days. We didn't have much money back
then. So we would save up for a long time for a good meal together.
As time went by, we grew up, and we collected memories.
It was safe to say that the college days were the happiest phase of my life. Although I was struggling
financially, I didn't have any other things to worry about. I was carefree.
After dinner, Monique dragged me into a baby store. After walking around for a while, she had chosen
some necessities for the baby.
Seeing that most of them were, in one way or another, pink in color, I laughed, "What if it's a boy?"
She was looking at a crib when I had asked her. She then raised her head to look at me, "It doesn't
matter if the baby is a girl or a boy. They can still use these before they turn three years old. If they
really hate it, we can still come and buy at any time."
Indeed, what she said wasn't wrong.
