My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna) novel Chapter 202

But since I was carrying a child, I felt a little guilty.

Hendrix lowered his gaze at me and cocked his brows in question. "What do you think?"

His answer was clear.

I struggled to get down from his embrace. "Then put me down."

Recently, I had been keeping a watchful eye on what I ate, but I still felt that I was fat.

It was no wonder that a lot of women didn't want to rear children. It was inevitable for them to be out of shape when they got pregnant, and even after they gave birth to the baby.

Hendrix adjusted the strength of his arms. "Stop it. You'll fall!"

Looking at his handsome but stern face, I behaved myself and stopped moving around. I had been sleeping quite excessively, maybe it was because I was pregnant. By the time we arrived at the villa, I was already fast asleep.

I didn't even know what time we reached the villa and how I got back to the bedroom.

I slept soundly through the night.

There was no one in the room, so I got out of the bed and walked around the villa. Hendrix wasn't in the study, but I noticed there were new books in it, and they all were about pregnancy and parenting.

I was astounded, and I was touched. The child's arrival somehow seemed to bring hope to us all.

Minnie was mopping the floor when she saw me absent- mindedly standing in the study. She said, "Master Hendrix went out early in the morning. He must have a lot to do at the office. But he cooked your favorite soup, and he even made two sunny-side-ups. Also, he reminded you to go for a walk in the yard after breakfast."

I nodded. It rained the night before, so the air was fresh in the morning.

After I finished my breakfast, I saw the fruits in the kitchen, and I was shocked by the amount of them. I turned to look at Minnie and asked, "Why did you buy so many fruits?" Minnie put away the mop and answered, "Master Hendrix brought it back the night before yesterday. He told me that someone had sent it to you. It's all seasonal fruits. I have washed some of it, and I kept the rest in the refrigerator. If not, they might rot if I had left them outside."

Now that Minnie had mentioned it, Monique indeed had called me and said that she had sent me some fruits from the countryside. Those might be it.

Still, it was a lot. It seemed like even Monique was trying to rear me like a pig.

Since I had nothing to do at home, I looked at Minnie and said, "Wash all the fruits. I'll bring them to the company and give them to the employees later."
