The man looked at her for a moment, but still reached out and pulled her up, saying in a faint voice, “Go back and talk, it’s windy here.”
Phoebe Barnes really has mixed feelings about all the compromises he’s making now.
Happy?
The child is hers, and if he is good to the child, he is good to her. Shouldn’t she think so?
Asking too many questions about such things will only make him angry.
Dutifully, she stood up and walked with him back to the villa, and on the way, Phoebe Barnes didn’t say a word.
Walking into the front room, the man had to follow her back to the bedroom.
The woman was slightly stunned, turned her eyes to look at him as if she had suddenly changed her mind and smiled, “Go ahead and get busy, I’ll go back to my bedroom and take a shower and lie down.”
Kemp Ross frowned, “Didn’t you say you wanted to keep talking to me?”
King Pei told him that a woman’s emotions are important during pregnancy and that he should always be aware of them and not to make her angry.
Phoebe Barnes dropped her small hand and squeezed it slightly, pulling the corners of her lips and smiling lightly, “I suddenly can’t think of anything to say, you’d better go and get busy, I want to rest now.”
The man didn’t say anything, but his brow furrowed tighter, his scrutinizing gaze turned around on her face, then he leaned down slightly and naturally dropped a kiss on her forehead, his voice low, “Well, go ahead.”
“…”
The man’s sudden intimacy caused Phoebe Barnes’ heart to contract violently.
There was no elation, only a strong sense of disparity, making her feel for a moment that all he was looking at in his eyes was this child.
The men went back to the study, and Phoebe Barnes sat on the bed for a while, dazed, then absentmindedly got into the bathroom with her clothes.
Lying in bed, tossing and turning, the woman occasionally touches her abdomen in a depressed mood.
Kemp Ross returned to the bedroom after his work and brought her in a glass of hot milk as usual.
“Drink up and rest.”
Phoebe Barnes sat up and dutifully sipped, stopping midway to look up at him, “Kemp, I want to go to Nancy’s tomorrow for a couple of days.”
The man looked at her with little expression, and the cold and hard silhouette of Speedy also looked much milder, “You can ask her to move in for a few days, there is no need to toss to her. There are maids taking care of here, what can she do?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes is speechless, and Nancy MO wonders if she will freak out if she hears this.
“I just want her to come home with me to see my parents, who I haven’t seen in a long time.”
The man did not refuse this time, “I have some time tomorrow afternoon, I can take you back.”
The woman froze and looked at him with some trance-like illusion, and the boredom in her heart intensified.
She bit her lip, lowered her head and refused in a light voice, “No need to go to that trouble, just let Nancy accompany me back, she is also very idle now. If you go to my house, my parents will definitely give you a look again.”
Because of the last miscarriage, her dad still doesn’t want to talk about him.
The man stared at her and slowly narrowed his eyes for a moment, slightly reaching out to lift her small face and gazing at her with a low tone, “Phoebe Barnes, are you having a tantrum with me?”
“…”
She was stunned for a moment and shook her head busily, “No.”
She really wasn’t having a tantrum with him, she was just mad at herself.
“No? Then you’re just sulking?” The man’s tone was declarative, and his handsome face moved a few more minutes closer, close enough not Rong her to dodge, “Phoebe Barnes, you look much worse mood-wise than before, why? Tell me.”
“…”
When she came back from outside, the smile on her face was more than a hint of something, either drifting off or staring at him in a daze, obviously preoccupied.
King Pei said that when a woman is pregnant, her mind becomes heavy and hard to guess, and she can’t be allowed to keep it inside yet, but this woman obviously won’t tell him voluntarily.
His eyes faintly stared, suddenly squeezed her jaw and forced the question in a deep and mute voice, “You are not still thinking about whether you want this child or not until now?”
The woman’s pupils that reflected the light shrank extremely quickly, followed by a violent shake of her head, “No, I didn’t not want him.”
Now no matter what, she has made up her mind to have this child.
“So what are you still bitter about? Tell me, eh?” The man’s face eased a bit, but he still pursued the question doggedly.
In order to avoid the anger of the two people, Phoebe Barnes, of course, will not tell him what is on his mind, but only pulled his lips, frowned slightly, and said in a soft voice: “I’m not bitter about anything, I just miss my parents and want to go back tomorrow to see them.”
He is now starting to care about her heart, which he never used to care about.
You don’t have to think about it to understand that he probably asked the doctor on purpose, but he was taking care of the pregnant woman’s emotions.
The man watched her face, as if to see her through, after a short while, let go of her, his voice was hoarse and low, his eyes were obscure, “Sleep first, do not want me to follow, tomorrow I will send someone to send you back.”
Phoebe Barnes didn’t say anything else, pulled up the covers and laid down slowly, giving a soft muffled cry.
…
The next day, the man did not follow her back and had the driver take her to Nancy MO’s apartment, and then the two of them went back to Joe’s house together.
Phoebe’s mother was surprised and happy to learn that she was pregnant, but Phoebe’s father didn’t seem very happy, just heavy-faced.
Nancy MO is in the kitchen giving Phoebe’s mother a hand, and Phoebe Barnes is sitting alone on the living room couch with Phoebe’s father, eating fruit.
Phoebe’s father’s eyes were fixed on the TV screen and her mouth was not good enough to ask, “How is he treating you now?”
“…” Phoebe Barnes laughed, eating, twisted her head to look at him, and said half-jokingly, “That’s good. I had to come along today, but I was turned down, just in case you turned around and chased him with a mop.”
Phoebe’s father grunted out a heavy breath, his face not looking any better, “Am I saying he’s really being nice to you, or is it just because of this baby?”
Phoebe Barnes peeled the fruit in her hand, then pulled her lips and smiled, pretending not to care: “What’s the difference? The child is still in my belly, he is good for the child is not good for me? And, when mom was pregnant with me, weren’t you the same as usual, or were you suddenly especially nice to her?”
Phoebe’s father choked and then glared at her, “I’ve always been good to your mother.”
Phoebe Barnes smiled badly and didn’t say anything.
“So you have this baby, when do you plan to go public that you were married?”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned, “…”
She almost forgot about it if she didn’t mention it.
She stuffed her little mouth full of oranges and said vaguely, “Well … haven’t thought about it yet, let’s wait.”
In fact, she is not in a hurry at all.
Phoebe’s father’s anger rose and her voice rose a few degrees, “Still waiting? Waiting for the baby to come out, right? You’re a public figure, you’ve already suffered a lot of criticism because of him, and now you’re unmarried and pregnant, and you’ve had a child out of wedlock. … When the time comes, I don’t know how much more dirty water will be thrown at you, has his Ross family ever considered your feelings?”
