“Hey, I’m going to … your own wife is hungry, why should I cook?”
Harlee couldn’t resist flirting with it.
Just as the words fell out of his mouth, Eliza kicked him under the table, “She’s still your sister.”
“Hiss … hurts me.”
Harlee hugs her knee and winces in pain, “Come on, you’re my wife and you’re protecting her.”
“Nonsense, I’m still Adri’s sister-in-law.”
Eliza countered with a retort.
“OK, OK, OK, I’ll do it, go make dinner, come on. adriana, what are you eating?”
Harlee, who has no status in the family, has no say in the matter and has to submit.
In truth, he was inwardly elated.
One is his wife, one is his own sister, the two are on good terms, and he is happiest as the middleman.
It’s just that the atmosphere in Asnana villa has been somewhat depressing in recent days, and he deliberately made a joke to relieve it.
Harlee goes to the kitchen to cook, while Peter chooses to go shopping for test strips late at night.
He didn’t look too good on his way out, and Adriana had a good look at him, knowing exactly what Peter was worried about.
It is good to have a child, but now she is weak, if there is a child … may not be able to keep.
“Adri, what are you doing standing, sit down for a while.”
Eliza pointed to the chair across from her, slowly put down her chopsticks, and glanced back in the direction of the kitchen to see Harlee preparing her evening meal before she asked in a whisper, “You … shouldn’t really have one, should you?”
“Not sure.”
Adriana shook her head and sat across from Eliza, her brows lowered and her face clouded with gloom.
“With a child … can your … body keep the child?”
She was more or less aware of Adriana’s health condition and worried that if she did have a child, she might not be able to keep it given her current physical condition.
Eliza’s concerns are exactly those of Adriana.
She didn’t say anything, just looked grave.
Seeing that she was not in a good mood, Eliza was not in a good position to say anything.
Not long after, Harlee cooked a tomato and egg noodle, the fresh and fragrant noodle was brought over and placed in front of her, the heat rising from the bowl, the aroma tantalizing.
“Try it, your brother I made the noodles, they are absolutely delicious.”
Harlee pointed to the bowl of noodles with pride and a face full of smugness.
After the words were said, Adriana did not respond, and he sensed something was wrong.
Eliza reached out and tugged on his sleeve, gesturing toward him.
Harlee, somewhat confused, opened her mouth and asked Eliza, wordlessly, what was going on.
Although she couldn’t hear him, she was a couple after all, and with a basic understanding, Eliza understood what he meant and waved towards him.
Harlee leaned over and Eliza whispered to him about the situation before he came to his senses.
“Why don’t you eat? I went to a lot of trouble to make it, and you’re too ungrateful.”
Immersed in the joy of the possibility that Adriana was having a baby, Harlee didn’t think about it that much.
But Eliza’s reminder also made him realize that it was not the right time for the child to come.
So, if Adriana is really pregnant, it’s not necessarily a happy event.
“Oh.”
Adriana answered woodenly, picked up chopsticks, picked a noodle, blew on it, and ate it.
Because her heart was preoccupied, she had no taste for it, but she still didn’t forget to praise Harlee, “It tastes good, I didn’t realize you were quite good at cooking.”
“That’s for sure. Tell me about you guys, aren’t you women, huh? Vivian can’t, you can’t, and just Eliza can cook okay, but now she’s pregnant. Hopefully, we three men have become the family cooks.”
He digressed and deliberately flirted.
“If you don’t want to cook, then you come to give birth? Do you think you’re not tired of carrying a big belly every day?”
“Hey hey hey hey, I’m not kidding, wife don’t take it seriously.”
“Nonsense, it makes me angry to hear you talk.”
“Rest in your anger, rest in your anger, don’t get angry and break your health.”
Harlee doggedly went around to Eliza’s back and reached out to massage her, “It’s hard for a wife to have a baby, how could I not know that? So from now on, tell me whatever you want to eat, and I promise to make it all for you.”
“That’s more like it.”
Eliza smiled with satisfaction.
From the time Adriana suspected that she might be pregnant, she was a bit distracted, and even meals felt uninteresting.
Ishin was waiting for Peter to buy back the test strips and wanted to go test if there was a baby or not.
Half an hour later, Eliza and Harlee went upstairs and Peter came back.
Walked into the living room, he shook the snowflakes that fell on him, carrying a plastic bag and walked up to Adriana, “Go check it out.”
“Go back to your room first, it’s quite cold.”
Adriana holds Peter’s hand.
When she touched his hands, she noticed that they were cold and icy, so she held his hands in both of hers and helped him warm them up.
Upon entering the room, Adriana went straight to the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, she walked out.
Peter stood in his bedroom pacing back and forth, preoccupied.
“How did it turn out?”
He asked.
Adriana drops her head, clutching the test paper in one hand and anxiously grabbing the corner of her pajamas with the other, and hands it to him.
Peter picked up the test paper and it showed two red bars.
So …
Pregnant!
Peter was clutching the test paper in his hand, frowning sadly, his handsome face without a trace of joy.
After a while, he put the test paper aside, his arm fished, the woman into his arms, hugging her, chin against her head, the two did not speak for a long time.
“This kid … we don’t want.”
Without waiting for Adriana to say anything, Peter gave the ‘order’ directly.
When Adriana gave birth to Helen and Luis, it was a difficult birth, Helen almost died, and Adriana also walked through the door of a ghost.
Ten years of reincarnation, two children are ten years old.
If it were a normal physical condition, Peter would be very happy and elated, but today is different.
Adriana is too weak to withstand the torment.
I am not pregnant are weak, let alone now pregnant, a person also have to feed the child in the womb nutrients, where can not afford to consume?
“What are you talking about? Wait until you go to the hospital tomorrow for a checkup. Also, don’t let Vivian know yet.”
Vivian’s child disappeared without a trace, and now if she knew she was pregnant, it would inevitably be mentally stimulating for her.
Adriana does not tolerate it.
“Good.”
…
The next day, Adriana woke up early and went downstairs to wait for Vivian in the living room.
That’s when Harlee and Eliza came downstairs, and one look at Adriana’s face told them they were ‘trapped’.
“You … are not physically fit to have a baby right now.”
Harlee’s decision is almost identical to Peter’s. Neither wants Adriana to disregard her own physical well-being for the sake of the child in her womb.
The heart curses Archie and Ruth, two people who are not a reliable.
Until now the whereabouts are unknown, which has been delaying the opportunity of Adriana’s treatment.
“Yeah, you can have the baby whenever you want. The body is important.”
Eliza walked over to Adriana and sat down beside her, soothing her.
“Tell me more.”
Adriana digressed, “Don’t let Vivian know about this first, I’m afraid …”
