“No no.” Christine White hurriedly waved her hand, “It’s not dissatisfaction, it’s just that staying at home without going to work is too boring, I still want to find something to do …”
“Really, that’s just right.” Baird Lane’s mouth ticked.
Feeling a little bad inside, Christine White scowled and asked tentatively, “Baird, is there something you want me to do?”
“I’m going to ask Gates to find you an English teacher to work on your lousy English.” Baird Lane’s legs folded gracefully.
Christine White’s eye twitched, “English tuition?”
“Good, you’re my wife, there will be countless parties to attend in the future, meeting foreign businessmen is inevitable, you can’t keep from talking to them or having an interpreter around, can you?” Baird Lane looked up at her.
Christine White swallowed, “That’s definitely not …”
“So while you’re raising your baby, study your English, that’s all.” Baird Lane finished, picking up a glass of water on the coffee table and taking a sip.
Christine White shifted her feet and walked over to him, “Baird, could you ask Assistant Gates to hire a slightly better-tempered teacher?”
“Reason.” Baird Lane spat out two words faintly.
Christine White lowered her head in some embarrassment, “Because I’m afraid of being mean, and when I’m mean I get especially nervous, and when I’m nervous I can’t learn anything.”
“Is that why you got into such an unimpressive college?” Baird Lane raised an eyebrow.
Christine White gave a thin hmmm, “Sort of, and also due to my own mediocre grades.”
“I know.” Baird Lane nodded.
Christine White peeked at him, “So you’re saying yes?”
“Is it okay to say no? I’m afraid a bad-tempered teacher will be exasperated by your stupidity.” Baird Lane said venomously.
Christine White pouted a little unhappily, “Where am I stupid, I’m not very smart but I’m not stupid either okay.”
At least she got into college on her own.
Baird Lane couldn’t help but sneer when he heard her even retort to himself, “In my opinion, you’re just stupid, after all these days of learning etiquette, you haven’t even learned how to sit properly, what’s not stupid?”
“I …” Christine White choked on his words and was speechless for a moment.
He was right, she had been learning etiquette for almost ten days now, and her progress was indeed slow.
Perhaps, she really is stupid.
“All right, I’m going upstairs for a meeting.” Baird Lane put down his glass of water and got up, heading for the stairs.
Christine White curbed her inferiority complex and stood up with her, “Wait Baird.”
“What else do you want?” Baird Lane craned his head to look at her.
Christine White clasped her hands together, “When are you going to tell Grandpa about my pregnancy?”
“I’ll take you back to the old mansion at the weekend and talk to his old man then, now that I’ve said it, he’ll be in a hurry, and it’s a pain in the ass to run around when you’re an old man.” Baird Lane returned in a cloudy voice.
Christine White nodded that she knew.
Baird Lane, seeing that she had no more questions, turned his head back and took a step up the stairs.
“Ma’am, is Mister back? I just seemed to have heard Mr.’s voice.” Aunt Lucy came out from the laundry room with a basin in her hand and saw Christine White sitting alone in the living room, she couldn’t help but ask.
Christine White pointed upstairs, “Back and up.”
“So it’s really back, I thought I heard wrong.” Aunt Lucy laughed heartily.
Christine White asked suspiciously, “Aunt Lucy, what do you want with Baird?”
“It’s nothing much, I just want to take a leave of absence from sir so that he can arrange for another person to come and take care of you.” Aunt Lucy replied.
Christine White was surprised, “Leave of absence?”
“Yes, I received a call from my son this morning saying that my daughter-in-law is also pregnant, so I am going to go back to visit and take care of her for two days.” Aunt Lucy looked at Christine White with some apologies.
Christine White smiled in relief, “So Aunt Lucy you’re going to be a grandmother again, that’s a good thing.”
“It’s a good thing, but ma’am on your side …”
“I’m fine it’s okay.” Christine White waved her hand graciously, “I can take care of myself, and I don’t have to go to work anyway.”
“That’s no good, you’re pregnant, you still need to be looked after, I’ll talk to Mr. and come back as soon as I can.” Aunt Lucy said and put down the pot in her arms and went upstairs to find Baird Lane.
Christine White couldn’t stop it in time and had to go along with it.
After a few moments, Aunt Lucy came down holding onto the railing and gave Christine White an OK gesture, “Ma’am, Mr. promised that he would arrange for someone to come over tomorrow to take care of you, and I’ll be back this weekend.”
“I see.” Christine White hmmmed in understanding.
Aunt Lucy came over and picked up the basin she had just put down, “Then ma’am, I’ll get busy first.”
“Good.”
After Aunt Lucy was busy, Christine White stayed alone in the living room is not much fun, and the TV is not good, a series of change several channels, but did not find the program of choice, she is a little discouraged sigh, simply turn off the TV and go upstairs to sleep.
This sleep lasted until evening, when Baird Lane came in to call her to dinner.
She sat up from the bed groggily, her expression a little dull, obviously still awake.
“Baird, why you?” Christine White asked, rubbing her eyes, her voice raspy with sleeplessness.
Baird Lane stood next to the bed and towered over her, “If not me, who do you think?”
“Aunt Lucy, of course,” Christine White slapped her cheeks to try and clear her head, “because Aunt Lucy used to be the one to come up and call me.”
“Aunt Lucy’s still busy in the kitchen, come on down.”
“Uh-huh.”
Christine White yawned and lifted the covers out of bed.
The result was that as soon as his feet touched the soft carpet, he suddenly wrenched and his body fell forward.
Baird Lane’s eyes glazed over and he hastily pulled his hand out of his pants pocket and held her at arm’s length, only to prevent her from falling to the ground.
Christine White was lying in Baird Lane’s arms, her little face pale and frightening, and her whole body was even more frightened afterward.
Luckily he caught her in time, otherwise this fall would definitely knock her stomach.
In time …
Christine White winced, afraid to think about that outcome.
She took a deep breath, pushed down the fear in her heart, and smiled gratefully at Baird Lane, “Baird, thank you.”
Baird Lane blacked out and released her, “Christine White, are you blind?”
“I grew.” Christine White returned subconsciously.
Baird Lane clenched his fists, “Grow an eye you would have just almost fallen again? Do you have any idea what would have happened to you if I hadn’t been here?”
“I know …” Christine White lowered her head in reason, “When I got out of bed just now, my legs didn’t have the strength, so I broke my foot, not on purpose …”
“No strength?” Baird Lane frowned.
Christine White nodded, “I sometimes just get dizzy and weak from time to time.”
“Ever before?” Baird Lane inquired in a hushed voice.
Christine White pursed her lips, “No, this phenomenon only started in the first two months.”
“The first two months?” Baird Lane was stunned, then realized something and a flash of guilt flew across his eyes, “Got the strength now?”
His voice suddenly became much softer and held a hint of concern.
Christine White blushed slightly, “A little.”
“Come on then.” Baird Lane took her hand and led him out of the room with her.
Aunt Lucy saw them coming down hand in hand, she first staggered for a moment, somewhat unable to believe her eyes, then after confirming that she hadn’t misread them, she burst into laughter, “Sir, ma’am, you’re coming down.”
“Aunt Lucy, start dinner.” Baird Lane commanded.
Aunt Lucy answered back and forth, “Fine, fine, dinner is served.”
She joyfully ran into the kitchen to serve the food.
Christine White looked both shyly and sweetly at the hand she held with Baird Lane, “Baird, that …”
Before she could finish her sentence, the cell phone in Baird Lane’s pocket suddenly rang, interrupting what she was about to say.
