She had some pistachios, but there was not much left. She had other snacks as well, but they were not good for pregnant women. Yesseca figured that nuts were good for pregnant women, and they would be good for the baby's brain.
Fruits would be even better. It would be good for the baby's skin.
Preslie looked at Yesseca, feeling quite confused.
Yesseca was not a glutton, and Preslie was normally the one who would bring snacks over to Yesseca. This was the first time she was coming over here to get some snacks.
"Yesseca, you're acting very strange today. Very strange." Preslie looked at Yesseca suspiciously.
Yesseca was smiling brightly. "My sister is pregnant. She's back in my store now, so I came to get her some food."
Preslie was quiet.
"Your beautiful and gorgeous sister?" she asked.
Yesseca nodded. "That's right."
Preslie wondered how things had changed so quickly. Yesseca's sister definitely had not been pregnant earlier on. Had she gotten pregnant after taking a walk around the mall?
She had more to ask Yesseca about this, but she had already gone back to her shop with the fruits and nuts.
Yesseca stuffed the nuts into Selina's hands and started peeling an apple.
Selina did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Yesseca, why are you behaving just like Matthew? I'm still in the early stages of pregnancy. It's much too early to be doing all of this."
Yesseca then placed the peeled apple into Selina's hand. She said, "Because we care a lot about you. That's why we're so nervous."
Selina felt warm inside again.
She smiled and said, "Looks like I didn't make the wrong decision in taking you in as my sister."
Yesseca smiled, feeling embarrassed.
"Yesseca, do you know why I came to see you today?"
Yesseca held her breath.
At Selina's question, Yesseca recalled what she had temporarily forgotten.
Tremaine was the president!
"I meant about you and Kylin getting married," Selina said.
Yesseca was speechless.
She thought that Selina had come all the way here to tell her who Tremaine really was!
Selina continued, "Yesseca, I came to talk to you about Kyi in, butthen I found out I'm pregnant. Isn't it a sign? That's why you should listen to me and settle down with Kyi in as soon as possible."
Yesseca blushed. "Selina, it's much too soon."
She was not ready.
Selina immediately said, "No, it's not. You and Kylin started dating with marriage on the table, right?"
Yesseca nodded, still feeling embarrassed.
She continued, "Do you know Kylin well?"
Yesseca thought about this for a moment then nodded.
They had not been together for long, but she probably knew him well enough. He was a good person, a gentle and caring person.
"That's all you need, then! Look, you two started dating with marriage on the table, and you know him well. There's really no difference between getting married now or later. In fact, it's better to get it settled right now since I'm pregnant. It would be a double dosage of happiness!" Selina's eyes gleamed.
Yesseca was speechless.
She felt very embarrassed.
