Speaking about the pregnancy, the smile on Amelia Bright’s face became even wider.
“You do not understand, this kind of thing to have a sense of ceremony, the atmosphere first set up, wait until an appropriate time I say it, this is what makes people remember for a lifetime.”
Bohdi Olson with a look of contempt.
“You women’s brain circuits are just not the same as men’s.”
When they arrived home, Bohdi Olson helped carry the groceries to the house.
“I’ll leave you to your cooking skills.”
“Hey, don’t leave, help me with the cooking.”
“On what basis?”
“Just because I am pregnant, will you help or not, if not I will call Emily.”
“Don’t call, I’ll help, okay?”
Bohdi Olson looked abashed, “She’ll drop what she’s doing and come running, and I’ll have to follow her around to clean up her mess.”
“Then pick the vegetables.”
Amelia Bright shoved the basket of washed vegetables into his hands.
“Don’t look so sad, I’ll give you a taste of my work later.”
It took the two of them almost two hours to finish cooking dinner.
After sending Bohdi Olson away, Amelia Bright went upstairs, showered and changed into a red dress to match the candlelight dinner, and sat down at the table.
It was almost six o’clock, and Farren Austin should be back from his military duties.
She touched her belly, which was still less than three months pregnant, and basically wouldn’t feel anything, she just mentally felt the sound of a heartbeat already here, connected to her own blood.
The first thing you need to do is to wait until nine o’clock, and there is still no movement outside.
She nestled on the couch and looked at her phone over and over again, hesitating for half a day for fear of interfering with Farren Austin’s work, but still called Adjutant Xun.
“Hello, Adjutant Xun, have you arrived at the military area?”
“Yes, I’m here.”
Adjutant Xun seems to have just remembered something like, “Oh yes ma’am, there is a celebration in the military area today, the chief is afraid to go back very late, you do not have to wait for him.”
“Celebration?”
Amelia Bright froze for a moment, “Is it a celebration for a successful mission?”
Adjutant Xun’s voice was a bit complicated, “Well, yes.”
There was a murmur behind Adjutant Xun’s voice on the phone, and it seemed that many people were getting up together and shouting something loudly, someone shouting Adjutant Xun’s name.
“Then you guys get busy.”
“Good, you take an early rest, madam.”
Hanging up the phone, Amelia Bright looked back at the table of carefully prepared dishes, slowly paced over, sat down, and plopped down on the table.
It made sense that Farren Austin would come back from his mission to celebrate with his comrades, but he was supposed to come back in the evening, so she would wait.
The joy of pregnancy was still building up in her heart, just waiting for this moment.
I don’t know how long she waited, but the hour hand turned from twelve o’clock, and Amelia Bright’s eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, and she finally fell asleep somehow.
When she woke up again, it was already the next morning.
When she woke up, she rubbed her neck and went to the kitchen to get some water.
There was no movement on her cell phone either.
When she called Farren Austin, she had to call Adjutant Xun again.
“Adjutant Xun, Farren hasn’t come back all night and the phone is not working, are you still in the military area now?”
“Yes, it was a little too late to celebrate last night, so he’s resting in the small compound.”
“So when is he coming home? The family is waiting.”
Erlina Lee had also received the news yesterday afternoon and had called her several times to urge her on.
Adjutant Xun’s voice was fumbling, and she gradually heard that something was wrong.
“Adjutant Xun, is there something you’re hiding from me?”
The other end was silent for a while, “Ma’am, it’s like this, the chief has been hurt a little.”
“What?”
“Don’t worry, it’s not a big injury, you’ll be fine after a period of recuperation in the military area, and you’re afraid that your family will worry, so you’re not going back for the time being.”
“This kind of is how you can hide it from me? I will go over now.”
“No, you don’t have to come first, ma’am.”
“What are you talking about, Farren is hurt and you want me not to come over?”
Amelia Bright hung up the phone, grabbed the car keys and left for the military area in a hurry.
The wounded actually refused to say, this is not the intention to make people anxious?
When you arrive at the military area, after showing your ID, the guards at the door let you go.
Farren Austin lives in a small courtyard is located in the southeast corner of the military area, facing the training ground, her car can not enter the military area, parked at the entrance, so she walked in, far away from the courtyard saw a strange figure, a woman, a camouflage military uniform, is watering the camellias.
“You can’t water the camellias in winter.”
She couldn’t resist making a sound to stop it, pushing open the courtyard door and walking in, “The temperature is too low in winter, if you water the camellias like this, the flowers will freeze to death.”
The woman only glanced at the corner of her eyes, did not turn around, and continued to water the bush of camellias, and said indifferently.
“You’re new here, right? You took care of this flower before? But the military area is a place for training soldiers, not these laborious and not easy to raise flowers and plants.”
Her tone is casual, with a bit of untamed aura, as if no one is in the eye.
This character is somewhat similar to Bick’s, but more so than ever.
Amelia Bright did not care to talk to her about the flowers, and walked towards the house with big steps.
“Stop.”
The woman stopped her, “Who told you to go in?”
Amelia Bright was startled and turned around to see the woman watering the flowers.
She was very tall, and almost at first glance you had to notice her long legs, even in her training clothes could not hide her good figure, and her eyebrows were deep and strong, with a trifle of imperiousness.
At the moment, the woman is staring at her with displeasure, with a few moments of doubt in her eyes, as if she had only just discovered that
“You’re not from the military district?”
“I should ask you that,” Amelia Bright covered her heart and frowned, “You’re new here and don’t know me, so what’s all the fuss about? Is your officer in there? I’m looking for him.”
“Wait a minute,” the woman said hesitantly, sizing her up for a moment.
“You’re Amelia Bright?”
“You know me?”
“Yes, everyone mentioned you on the way back,” the woman suddenly put the kettle on the stone table and walked quickly towards her, offering her hand, the backlight hid her features somewhat, and only her voice could be heard, echoing very clearly in the small courtyard in the early morning.
“My name is Calla Moon.”
For a moment, Amelia Bright could not tell whether she was dreaming or reality, she saw a slender and slender, but with some thin calluses hand lingering in front of her face, representing the other party’s courtesy.
But all that was left in her ears at the moment was a voice that echoed and reverberated, turning all her reasoning and calmness and composure upside down.
“My name is Calla Moon.”
Four words struck her eardrums with a heavy buzz.
