The more Cordelia listened to her, the more worried she got.
“Aurelia, I better send some bodyguards to go with you…”
“It’s really okay!” Aurelia cracked a grin. “I’m familiar with that area. Besides, I move around easier alone. Other than getting my stuff, I want to say goodbye to the old nomad lady and the others. I wouldn’t be as comfortable with the bodyguards following me!”
“Then—”
“Bye-bye, Cordelia!”
Before Cordelia finished her sentence, Aurelia ran off like a deer, turning back to beam at her. “I won’t come back tonight. I’ll bid them a good farewell! See you tomorrow!”
Cordelia was heavy in movement and did not get to call the bodyguards in time. Aurelia ran fast too and vanished in the blink of an eye.
When Zephyr came back at night, they lay on the bed. He was working on the laptop while Cordelia tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.
“Honey, what’s wrong?” Zephyr tucked her in carefully. “Is your belly making you uncomfortable? Don’t keep lying on your left. Turn around!”
“The doctor says that pregnant women should lie on the left. It’s good for the baby!”
“The doctor might not always be right!” Zephyr argued with her seriously, “Listen to me tonight. Lie on your right! You’ve been sleeping on your left for months, and I can’t take it anymore!”
Cordelia chuckled wryly. “It’s for our son’s sake.”
“Darling, our son isn’t that fragile! If he can’t even let you have a good sleep, I’ll—”
Before he finished his sentence, he met his wife’s sharp gaze.
Zephyr swallowed the latter half of his sentence.
He explained, “Darling, I won’t beat him up!”
Cordelia jolted before she giggled because of what he said and turned to lie on her right side. Her face was against his chest just nicely.
