Chapter 511
Cynthia nodded with a smile. Seeing this, Queena’s eyes lit up.
She gently placed her hand on Cynthia’s belly, imagining the little ones inside, so she hesitated to even breathe too heavily. Cynthia was amused by her careful demeanor, and her belly was quivering in response.
This action startled Queena, who was focused on feeling the babies‘ movements. She pulled her hand back in fright, covering her mouth with one hand and trembling as she pointed at Cynthia’s belly with the other. “Your belly, there is movement inside.”
“The babies inside are real, they surely will move.” Isabella suppressed a smile as she came forward, sitting next to Queena and patiently said, “You’re not married yet, so feeling surprised is normal.”
Isabella didn’t understand anything when she was pregnant with her first child. When the baby, was bigger and moving around in her belly, it really frightened her, especially in the seventh or eighth month when the movements were more pronounced.
Thinking about this, Isabella worried that Cynthia might be as scared as she was, so she quickly reminded, “Cynthia, the babies move more vigorously as you progress, and with twins, the movements are even more pronounced, so you need to be mentally prepared.”
At this point, Cynthia had just finished eating. She wiped her mouth with a napkin and then gently touched her belly, recounting the morning’s fetal movements to the two of them.
Queena listened with a face full of astonishment, then placed her hand on Cynthia’s belly again to try to feel the movements, but the babies inside remained still for a long time. After a few minutes, she could only disappointingly withdraw her hand.
“It seems the babies are already shy before being born,” she said.
Queena actually loved children very much. Thinking about the scene of the three little babies being born in a few months, she felt that this was the time to build a good relationship with them.
So she gently touched Cynthia and Isabella’s bellies and boldly said, “Kids, to make you like me after you’re born, I’ve decided to go buy clothes and toys for you later.”
Upon hearing this, Cynthia smiled and declined, “Your thoughtfulness is enough. You are currently facing financial difficulties yourself, so wait until you earn money later to buy gifts for them. I won’t hesitate to accept them at that point.”
Cynthia didn’t know about Queena’s progress with Hallet and still thought of Queena as the poor girl, not wanting her to spend money. Little did she know that Queena took out a black card at that moment.
“Look.” Queena placed the card on the table, wearing a shy smile. “This is the card Hallet gave me, and the money inside is enough to buy things for the kids. Besides, Hallet is your senior, it’s only right for his money to be used to buy things for the children. I’m just helping out.”
“Hallet’s card?” Cynthia raised her eyebrows in surprise, then squinted suspiciously at Queena. “Are you two already…”
Cynthia didn’t finish her sentence explicitly, but the implication was clear. In her perception, Queena was not the type to accept a man’s card for no reason. If she accepted it, the only possibility was that the two were on the verge of getting married.
Queena hadn’t expected Cynthia’s focus to be on this matter and evasively passed it off. “Okay, we’re going to buy gifts for the little ones now.” With that, she pulled the two of them towards the exit.
Hallet had been finding ways to make Queena use this card these days, annoying her to no end. Today, as she wanted to buy things for Cynthia and Isabella’s children, she decided to use Hallet’s card to show generosity. Cynthia, knowing it was

The three of them drove to the mother and baby store in the mall. Inside, there were all kinds of cute children’s clothes and
toys.
Queena immediately dove into the clothing section as soon as she entered the shop, throwing anything cute she saw into the
cart.
“Look, these little dresses are adorable, and these too.” She held the tiny clothes with a smile on her face, happier than when picking out clothes for herself. Cynthia and Isabella helplessly exchanged glances.
Then Queena picked out some little boy’s clothes. After browsing the clothes, she led the way to the toy section. There were various baby toys available, and Queena grabbed anything she liked until the shopping cart was full to the brim.
When Cynthia and Isabella came, they had also planned to prepare the maternity bags today, but now it seemed they would have to wait until next time. With the many items the three of them had bought, they couldn’t carry them all, so they had to have the store staff deliver the items to them.
Hallet, who was currently in the company, looked at the spending text on his phone, a smile playing on his face. This was the first time in many days that she had made a purchase with that card.
But before he could be happy for even two seconds, his face drooped as he saw the location of the expenditure. It was a maternity store, and Hallet didn’t need to think twice to know who it was for. He had given her the card to spend on herself, not on these items.
Hallet stayed silent for a moment, then opened his phone to send a text to Queena. “This expenditure doesn’t count.

Of all the terrible translations this is by far the worst. Garbled rubbish with different languages in between. I wouldn't recommend this novel!...
