Lynette, who was in solitary confinement, collapsed and slouched onto the ground as she broke into tears of despair. She wailed about Toby being heartless toward her and also mourned for her life, which was nearing an end.
Apart from her, Anya, too, lost her marbles at that moment. She could not believe what she saw. Sonia is pregnant! They're having a child! How ridiculous! They have a child!!
Covering her face, Anya began laughing as though she had lost her mind.
After the hysterical episode, she uncovered her face, revealing a sinister and twisted ill-favored countenance. Pregnant, aye? That's alright; for one day, I shall kill the two of them along with their sp*wn!
Of course, Sonia and Toby did not know anything about this.
Something crossed Mary's mind when she returned from buying fruits and saw Toby combing Sonia's hair. She put down the fruits and suggested, "Young Mistress Sonia, do you want to cut your hair short?"
"Cut my hair short?" Sonia was puzzled.
He stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why does she need to cut her hair?"
"A pregnant woman has always needed a lot of nutrients during their pregnancy, and hair is the part that consumes the most nutrients. Therefore, a woman should cut her hair short when she's pregnant. However, they can choose to keep their hair long if their health condition allows it. Considering Young Mistress Sonia's condition, I think she should cut it short," Mary explained while taking out some fruits from the fruit basket.
Sonia blinked her eyes. "Is there such a saying?"
"Of course. Most pregnant women will keep their hair short during pregnancy. Firstly, it's because it's easier to take care of, and secondly, it can prevent the hair from consuming too many nutrients and causing you nutritional deficiency."
"I see." Sonia nodded,indicating she understood.
Stroking her smooth and silky hair, Toby asked, "Do you want to cut it?"
She took a lock of hair and looked at it with reluctance written in her eyes. "To be honest, I'm reluctant and can't summon up my courage to cut it. Even though some people say it's a myth that hair consumes our nutrients, I trust Madam Mary. So, let's just cut it. Besides, it will be difficult for me to manage my long hair when my belly gets prominent in the future."
"I should call the hair stylist to come over and cut it for you, then." Toby let go of her hair. To be honest, I'm also reluctant to let her chop off her beautiful long hair. I like the feeling of stroking her hair; I like the feeling of taking a lock of her hair, kissing it, or sniffing it deeply. But if this long and silky hair causes her nutritional deficiency and makes her unwell during her pregnancy, then I would rather she chop them off. After all, she can grow it back anytime in the future.
"That won't be necessary." Sonia grabbed the man's hand just as he was about to make a phone call. "It's just a haircut. It won't take much effort. You're going to help me cut it."
"Me?" He was taken aback.
She hummed. "Yes, you're going to cut it for me. Just cut it short. You don't have to style it."
"But… I have never cut my hair before, let alone someone's hair. Aren't you afraid that I might ruin your hair?" He stroked her hair, somewhat conative yet worried.
Of course, I hope that I can do everything for her myself, but I'm also afraid of screwing up. Although I'm knowledgeable, there are still things that I have zero knowledge of, and that includes giving someone a haircut.
"It's fine." She smiled at the man. "Didn't I say you don't have to style it? So, you don't have to cut it perfectly. Just make it short. Plus, I won't leave the hospital from today onward until after I give birth, and I won't meet any outsiders either. So, you don't have to pay so much attention to details. I'm fine as long as you don't hate it."
"I surely won't." Toby shook his head.
"That settles. Come on, just cut it," Sonia said as she turned around, facing her back at him so he could snip her hair.
Mary, too, smiled and persuaded, "Young Master Toby, since Young Mistress Sonia trusts you, why don't you just cut it for her? You can search online if you don't know how. Your hands-on skills are impressive, so I believe you can cut it well."
