My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 1291

Chapter 1291 A Simple Life

Though she was already six months pregnant, she looked more radiant than the women in the village. Her skin was very fair, and only her belly was prominently raised. From the back, her waist was still slender, and only when you looked at her from the front you could tell she was pregnant.

Such a woman stood out like a sore thumb in their small village in the mountains.

Mitchell Waters was thirty-eight years old, yet he was still unmarried.

His family was destitute when he was a boy, and his parents were in poor health. It was not until he bid them both farewell that he became truly alone in the world.

They lived in a village by the river, where he made a living by fishing. He was diligent; owning a small boat, he would fish from dawn till dusk, and it earned him a decent income.

But time had slipped away. Those who should have settled down in the village already did so, and there were no more unmarried women his age.

Then, Sienna ended up in their village half a year ago. When he found out that the father of her child was no longer around, he started developing feelings for her.

Moreover, not only was Sienna beautiful, but she was also very kind.

Thus, his desire to spend more time with her grew stronger.

He often helped her by chopping firewood and delivering fish, flour, and oil.

Quite a few people by the river were watching the two of them, and it made Sienna a little uncomfortable.

She reached out to snatch the bucket from Mitchell. “You don't have to do this, Mitchell. I can manage on my own.”

“You're pregnant. How are you going to carry water? I'm heading back anyway. Let's go.”

Without another word, Mitchell picked up the bucket of water and left.

The villagers obtained their drinking water from the river, either by drawing it directly or by carrying it in buckets.

The water was crystal clear, and perfectly drinkable once boiled.

Though her living conditions were far worse than when she was in the city, Sienna felt a tranquility she had never experienced before.

Simple and honest, the village folks worked from sunrise to sunset.

Aside from the idle chatter, she found it bearable.
