“Mr. Williams has nothing to say about you.”
“… hmm.” She answered softly. The heart felt like a furry tentacle was born tickling the tip of her heart, a strange feeling that made her purse her lips and not speak anymore.
Sister Chen added, “By the way, Mr. Williams said he wouldn’t be back for dinner tonight.”
“… is it?” Andrea Jones returned to her senses and a surprising amount of loss welled up in her heart.
I thought I wouldn’t have to guard an empty house alone here, but she was alone the first night.
It seems … and at home does not make a difference …
“Sister Chen, you don’t need to do all those dishes, just do a little bit, I can’t eat too much.”
A person looking at too many dishes will only seem more silent.
The afternoon sleep is too heavy, this point Andrea Jones in turn is unable to sleep. Sister Chen has finished cooking, all the things are packed, and wait until 9 pm according to the rules.
This is the time when pregnant women should be sleeping, but Andrea Jones is still not sleepy, so she asked Sister Chen to leave first. Sister Chen had some difficulties, “Although the time specified in the contract is 9 o’clock, Mr. Williams said I can’t leave when the lady hasn’t fallen asleep. He will give me overtime pay.”
“There’s really no need. I’m usually all alone and it doesn’t matter.” Andrea Jones looked out the darkened window, “It’s getting late, go home early and get some rest, you’ll have to come back in the morning.”
“So you’re really okay with being alone?” Sister Chen also really wanted to go home. It was time for her husband and son to come back.
“Well, I can take care of myself.”
Andrea Jones assures.
Chen heard her say so, only to pack up their own things step by step to go. Out of the entrance door, still repeatedly admonished.
When she was gone, Andrea Jones closed the door behind her. In the whole apartment, except for the sound of her own breathing, no other sound could be heard. Suddenly afraid of the silence, she turned on the TV.
The television was replaying the morning’s political news.
For the political side of the news, Andrea Jones is not much interested. But it was a look up to see Lewis Brown’s father, Steve Brown, talking eloquently on camera. He is from the CDC and is talking about the government purge at this moment.
It looks like the wind of clean government is blowing again this time. I don’t know how many officials can’t sleep again.
Instead of putting your mind on the news, you are bored with the remote control and changing the channel. When I saw the TV show I could watch, I stopped and found a cushion to put behind my head and lay down comfortably.
…
It was after 10:00 when Neal Williams returned. He was supposed to leave before nine himself, but, nah, he was tripped up by a client.
By this time, she should have fallen asleep, right?
Did you take your medication on time today?
With this in mind, Neal Williams pushed the door open and entered. I expected to be greeted by a room full of darkness as in the past, but, to my surprise …
In the hall, surprisingly, there is still a warm light burning.
The TV, still playing the drama. Hot and lively, so that his heart inexplicably a trace of warmth.
But …
A certain little woman who should be watching a TV show is currently curled up on the couch, asleep.
Neal Williams couldn’t help but ease up on his movements and slowly approach her.
Under the bright light, her sleeping face is so calm. Not like the daytime and his opposite look, no depression on the face, and not covered with a layer of people dare not approach the ice cold.
Neal Williams looked at her face and gazed at it lustfully. He couldn’t help but reach out and caress her delicate contours and charming features.
Afraid of waking her up, he moved carefully.
I wonder if the child in her womb will be a boy or a girl, and who will it look more like?
He thought haphazardly. She still seemed to have been messed up by him and gave an uncomfortable wink, raising her hand to suddenly take his fingers in her grip.
The heart jumped, and his eyes deepened as he gazed at her.
Her little hand was soft and extra warm, gripping his hand tightly, a feeling so good that he didn’t want to let go, how he wanted to just indulge in it.
But …
She was obviously uncomfortable sleeping that way. Frowning, she moved her body, instinctively looking for a comfortable sleeping position, but she seemed unsatisfied several times.
Looking at that naive look, Neal Williams couldn’t help but laugh.
Dumbass.
How can sleeping on the couch be comfortable?
Carefully draw back his hand, bend over, and pick her up in a horizontal embrace.
This is how I found out that she was wearing the maternity pajamas that I had prepared for her. She is still too thin, so the maternity clothes look too fat on her body, but …
Why look in his eyes, but still so cute? So touching?
His heart surged so much that he carried her into the guest room.
Fruity …
She was much more at ease when she got into bed. The frown that had been raised was also soothed.
Neal Williams touched her beautiful cheeks – she had lost a lot of weight during this period of time, so it seemed that she had to ask Chen to make up for it for her.
I can’t help but want to kiss her pink lips, but, thinking of my own body full of wine smell, in the end is hard to bear down. In the end, he covered her with the blanket, turned off the light, closed the door and went out with light steps.
He doesn’t know …
The moment the door closed, she was in bed, slowly opening her eyes.
For a long, long time, I stared at the closed door.
Listen to his footsteps next door …
Listen to every movement he makes.
Until, the last light under the door of the connected door were darkened, she slowly closed her eyes.
But …
I was tossing and turning in the middle of the night, unable to sleep.
She also did not know that the room next door to him, the situation is no better than her.
I want to hold her in my arms, but I have to suppress the feeling of not being able to get close, it’s really damn hard.
…
The following day.
The early morning sun shines through the window.
It took Andrea Jones a few moments to wake up.
After grabbing the alarm clock on the bedside and glancing at it, I realized that it was already 9:30.
By this time, Neal Williams would have gone to the office, right?
Good too. She didn’t really know how to get along with him yet. It was always that rigid and stifling atmosphere that also made her find it hard to breathe.
While thinking, she cut her hair and cleaned up her personal hygiene before walking out of the guest room.
Before I could see the person, I smelled a pungent herbal smell. It was the medicine she had to take every day!
Nausea hit her, she covered her mouth, rushed into the bathroom in a mess and flopped down on the toilet.
Just dry heaving, nothing came out.
back, but was gently patted, “How’s that? Very uncomfortable? Do you want to go to the hospital?”
Worried, asking a series of questions.
She looked up instinctively with a start.
Suddenly, I bumped into a pair of deep, worried eyes.
Heartbeat, slightly chaotic.
At this hour, hasn’t he already left? Why is he still at home?
In the morning, he was wearing a very simple casual shirt. The sky blue T-shirt over the body, sexy lines are still outlined perfectly. This kind of him, not like a shrewd businessman in the business world, but clean and fresh like a college student.
“Andrea Jones?” Seeing her just looking at herself in disbelief, Neal Williams knelt down and took her arms to hold her upright, frowning worriedly, “Are you uncomfortable? Are you going to tell me if you’re not feeling well. andrea?”
The first time I looked at him, I realized that I had actually looked at him and gotten carried away. Why are you still so unproductive?
Biting her lip in chagrin, she shook her head, “I’m fine, it’s just normal pregnancy vomiting.”
“Is it really okay?” He wasn’t reassured.
“Hmm.” He was so overwrought. But … can understand that. What father can’t be nervous about his child?
Neal Williams looked at her face again and again to confirm before easing his mood a little, “Get up first.”
Andrea Jones braced herself on his arm and barely stood up. Squatting for a long time, some dizziness, not waiting for her to stand firm, the next second, the body suddenly vacated …
Her entire body was held in the air by him.
She subconsciously grabbed his shirt. The eyes were raised to his deep pupils, and the complex light that flowed from his eyes made her heart jump, and she almost immediately looked away from him.
Seeing them come out like this, Sister Chen smiled, “Breakfast is ready to eat.”
Andrea Jones, her cheeks slightly flushed, tugged at Neal Williams and whispered, “Put me down, I can walk by myself.”
Neal Williams carried her to the table before putting her down and hand-poured a cup of hot milk and handed it to her, “Drink this.”
The milk is steaming, the heat is dense into her eyes, so her eyes unconsciously covered with a layer of fog.
With a glance at Neal Williams, she took a sip, and as he pulled out a chair and sat down across from her, he warned, “Slow down, don’t burn yourself.”
“… hmm.” She stiffened in response.
Sister Chen brought up the rich breakfast one after another, one after another, and it was really a wide array.
“Made that much?” Andrea Jones was completely taken aback by the sheer magnitude of the show.
The two of them can’t eat this much. No, even with the baby in the belly, three people can’t eat this much.
“This is all ordered by Mr. Williams, saying that it is to supplement your nutrition, madam.” After looking at Neal Williams, Chen couldn’t help but praise, “Madam is really lucky. There are not many people who can be so considerate to their wives nowadays.”
Wife?
These two words made Andrea Jones’ hand tighten slightly as she gripped the glass of milk.
Could feel the deep, burning sight Neal Williams was projecting on herself. She only had to take another sip of milk, coughed lightly and said, not too softly, “Sister Chen, you’d better not call me ‘ma’am’, we … won’t get married.”
Not getting married?
Sister Chen froze.
There seems to be some confusion.
Williams obviously cares about her deeply, moreover, the other party conditions are also so good. This kind of man, how many women can not find a lantern ah! What’s going on here?
Neal Williams’ breath caught and the hand holding the chopsticks clenched quietly.
It is clear that I have long known that she would say such things, and I have long known her determination. But …
Now when I hear her say it again, my chest is still so stuffy that I can’t even breathe well.
“Well, put the milk down first and have some of this.” A moment later, he spoke again, a look as if nothing had happened. The emotions just now have long since been collected, instead, he chucked egg rolls into her bowl, “Eat more, don’t be too thin.”
After a pause, he added in a flat tone, “My child needs your nourishment.”
What is he implying about himself?
Implying that the only person who cares is the child?
After looking at the golden omelet, Andrea Jones put it into her mouth, which was obviously very delicious, but now it tasted bitter in her mouth.
A meal was eaten in peace and quiet. After the small incident just now, the two people have no more words.
She eats very little.
Neal Williams doesn’t push her either.
When she put her chopsticks down, Neal Williams suddenly asked, “Where’s that bracelet? Why aren’t you wearing it anymore?”
She froze.
His eyes were fixed on her, not giving her any room to evade.
In fact, the answer is clear in the hearts of both people.
But …
She still found a reason.
“Read what some people say online at … jade is cool and not good for pregnant women to carry. Pregnant women are better off with crystals.”
“You want crystals?” Neal Williams asked.
