Goodbye You Never Loved Me novel (Martha and Stefan) novel Chapter 738

Chapter 738 Melissa Gives Birth

Stefan watched Jimmy's departing figure and his eyes darkened. He turned around and placed a hand on Martha's belly, asking in a deep voice, "Do you think our daughter will be as cute as Anna?"

"What if it's a son?" Martha asked with a smile, ruining the mood.

As expected, Stefan frowned at her words and promptly denied the speculation. "No way. It must be a daughter."

Martha couldn't help but burst out laughing at his certainty. Maxwell and Bianca exchanged amused glances.

The next second, Martha's suppressed laughter escaped from her lips. "How can you be so sure that our baby is going to be a girl? Are you some sort of fortune teller, Mr. Harrison?"

Stefan's brows furrowed even tighter as he pursed his lips in silence.

It was only then that Stefan realized something very serious - there was no guarantee that their child would definitely be female despite his strong desire for it to happen.

Although he hoped for it and firmly believed that they were having a daughter, the reality was that there was only 50% chance of having one.

He found it hard to accept but had no choice but to come to terms with it.

Meanwhile, Jimmy felt depressed because he missed Anna while Stefan became moody due to the possibility of having a son in Martha's belly.

Time flew by.

In no time at all Melissa's due date arrived.

On this day, Melissa waddled into the living room with her big belly before she sat down on the sofa opposite Martha who ate fruit while watching TV.

She sighed, looking down at her stomach and saying, "This thing is really heavy; I don't know when I'll finally deliver."

After Anna left them, Melissa moved into the Doyle Manor under false pretenses, claiming Eden worked too much for the Harrison Group which left him unable to care for her during pregnancy, so she moved into the Doyle Manor.

But truthfully, Eden being an inexperienced father-to-be and Melissa being a mother-to-be meant that they still had a lot to learn.

In case that they would be flustered when Melissa's water broke, Martha thought it better to have Melissa move into the Doyle Manor under the watchful eyes of Martha and Bianca.

Just like now, Martha calmly listened to her best friend's complaints while holding a fruit platter and never taking her eyes off the TV screen.

"Eat some fruit to calm your nerves. When it's time for the baby to come out, it will come out," Stefan heard something about radiation from electronic devices and started restricting Martha's phone and computer usage without any reason.

This led Martha to become so bored that she had nothing else but watching TV dramas about love stories.

Even when she watched TV, she had to sit three meters away from the screen because of Stefan's restrictions. If it weren't for her good eyesight, she would have wanted to hit Stefan.

It was just pregnancy; there was no need for such fussing around.

However, when Eden also started restricting Melissa, life didn't seem as difficult for Martha anymore.

Later on, Melissa and Martha often sat together on their sofa enjoying watching scheduled romance dramas together.

After eating a piece of honeydew melon, Melissa sighed, "Today's grapes are so sweet."

"Melissa," Martha quipped without looking at her friend while munching on grapes in hand at a steady pace. "Can you say something different occasionally? Don't say 'today's grapes are so sweet' every day."

She didn't hate eating grapes but couldn't stand having them every single day.

However, later on, with Stefan coaxing her into eating them every day, she got used to it.

Grapes contain high sugar content which was why during pregnancy period, she drank lots of water daily as an antidote against high blood sugar levels.

And these days even Melissa got used to eating grapes too.

Upon hearing this comment, Melissa lazily glanced at Martha before calmly saying, "If I don't say 'today's grapes are so sweet,' should I say 'water is so sweet'?"

Martha thought about this for a moment before agreeing that they should indeed describe how good the grape tasted instead of anything else.

Just then Bianca walked out from kitchen holding pork rib soup in hand, "Martha, Melissa! Come drink soup quickly!"

"Okay."

Martha responded helplessly before turning towards Melissa again. "I wonder what kind of soup we're drinking today."

From the moment she returned, Bianca made a different soup for Martha to drink every day. When Melissa moved in, she started drinking it too.

Melissa laughed and said, "Bianca makes everything taste good."

Martha nodded in agreement as she rubbed her pregnant belly and sighed. "I've gained so much weight since getting pregnant."

Stefan had hidden all the scales in the house to spare Martha from seeing her weight gain and feeling upset about it. So while Martha knew she had gained weight, she didn't know how much exactly.
