Female Novel
Chapter 175
It didn't take long for us to arrive there.novelbin
We got off the high-speed rail and took a taxi, heading straight to the place where we would be living
for the next few days. It was a newly developed area.
The house wasn't big, covering not more than two hundred square meters. It wasn't luxurious, but the
renovation was exquisitely done, and it was comfy enough for two people to live in.
"Tomorrow, we'll go around for a walk. Let's just rest well today and go out for a meal later," Monique
leaned against the door of my room and said after we unpacked our things.
I nodded and asked, "What are we having later?"
"What do you want to eat?" Glancing at my belly, she said, "We can go for some local delights if you
want."
Knowing that she was concerned about the baby, I suggested otherwise, "Can we have some spicy
food? I haven't eaten spicy food for a long time. I'm already around five months pregnant, so I should
be fine."
She raised her eyebrows and asked, "Are you sure?"
I nodded, "I'm sure!"
"Okay then!" she said.
I wasn't familiar with Andoland, so I basically followed Monique around the whole time. There was a
plaza near the area we were staying in, and the restaurants were all located on the third floor of the
plaza. It had been a while since Monique got to eat out, so she seemed excited.
We walked around for a while. If it wasn't for the fact that I was pregnant, she might be able to shop in
the plaza for the whole night.
Finally, we decided to dine in at a grilled fish restaurant. With her chin in her hand, she sighed, "I was
craving to eat when we were walking around, but I lost my appetite after we placed the order. It's
frustrating!"
Monique was almost two months into pregnancy. I looked at her and asked, "Are you experiencing any
morning sickness?"
She shook her head and said, "Other than not having much appetite, everything else seems normal."
Knowing that the pregnancy experience varied for each individual, I nodded, "From now on, stay in
Andoland to take care of yourself and the baby. We are only two to three months apart, so if there's
anything else you need for the baby, just tell me."
She nodded and smiled at me, "I got everything ready. I even found a maternity center. But, Andoland
isn't like Ucrebury. There aren't many maternity centers around, so I found one that is close to our
home. It'll be convenient when the time comes."
Monique was better at taking care of herself than I, so I wasn't really concerned. I took out a bank card
from my purse and placed it in front of her as I said, "Keep this card. Master Roberts gave this to me
when I got married to Hendrix. I've never used it. You'll need it more than I do since you'll be living
alone in Andoland."
She frowned and returned the card to me, "I don't need it. I paid for the house with the money I saved
up over the years. Hendrix also paid me double the market price for the bar. And I haven't used a
penny of that money. Don’t worry about me, just keep it for yourself."
Ignoring her, I directly put the bank card into her hands and said in a stern tone, "No matter what, keep
this with you. I didn't spend much of my high salary for the past two years. Besides, I haven't even used
the card Hendrix gave me. Grandma also left behind enough money for me. What's more, I haven't
divorced Hendrix yet. He won't make things difficult for me. Even if we did divorce, I'd get to split the
assets with him. I can only rest assured if you take this card with you."
Monique couldn't refuse me that time. She simply put the card away, looked at me, and said, "Okay.
But you need to tell me if you run into anything. Don't keep things to yourself!"
At that time, the waiter served the grilled fish we had ordered. I shifted a little from my seat, then I
looked at her and assured her, "Yeah, I know."
Time flew by as we ate and talked more about our future.
Seeing that it was getting late, Monique rubbed her belly and looked at me. "Let's get some drinks later
and go on a shopping spree! I haven't shopped for so long!"
