My Reincarnated Wife Is A Little Too Sweet novel Chapter 88

When Vallery came back, she found her mother lying weakly on bed. Her face was ashen. She did not see her father anywhere.

"Mom, where is dad?" Val asked, not caring that her mother was not in the right condition.

Although she has been pretending to be sick, but because of what Peter had said, she was now truly sick.

Getting no reaction from her, Val became vexed.

"Mom, where did dad go?" She only cared if her scheme had succeeded or not.

Not being able to stand her interrogation, Juliana opened her mouth and answered weakly, "he already left."

"Did you get the number?"

"No."

Vallery immediately flared up.

"Is there something that you are really capable of? All you know is mess things up. I have never seen such an incompetent mother who could not even do something for her daughter." With that, she threw the lunch that she had painstakingly used her money to buy and walked out of the door angrily.

Her mother was startled by her sudden outburst and looked at her drifting back with no emotions in her eyes.

Although she knew that her daughter was just using her, she also had some selfish motives in accepting her daughter's plan, after they were exposed, she did not have any reason for answering her daughter's shameless accusations. But she was still hurt and disappointed at how her daughter treated her as a puppet.

The moment Peter walked out of that door, she knew that she had completely lost. And depending on his tone, Juliana did not know how much he had found out about their past deeds. Although they claimed to have gotten rid of everyone, she was still afraid and uneasy feeling was slowly developing in her heart.

Amanda was in her third trimester now. Her belly was bulging. They held a small wedding on a private island where only close friends were invited. Although people were shocked at first and threw nasty words at Amanda after they revealed their relationship, it was only  after seeing how loving the couples were and the fact that Amanda was pregnant, did they start to give them their blessings.

She had stopped filming commercials and was preparing for delivery. Richard had been too nervous for the past 8 months or so and could try as much as possible to meet Amanda's every need.

Even if it was in the middle of the night and Amanda had a certain craving, Richard will not hesitate to go and get if for her.

Just like now.

"Darling, the baby feels like eating the hamburger you brought us the other day." 

The hamburgers that Amanda was talking about were sold at the southern part of the city. They were almost at the Northern part, and there was a considerable distance between the two cities. 

Hearing her voice, Richard who had almost dozed off, immediately woke up. He put on his clothes without a second thought, kissed Amanda on the forehead, touched the bulging stomach and said in an indulging voice.

"Be good, I will be back soon." And with that, he left.

Looking at his tired back, Amanda's heart ached so much that she almost called him back, but when she almost opened her mouth, she felt a kick in the stomach, the little one seemed to be warning her to dare call his dad back.

"Stop being mischievous, don't you see that daddy is tired." Amanda said as she caressed her stomach, her every action filled with motherly love.

She felt another kick in the stomach after saying that.

The little guy was probably grumbling that Amanda favored daddy more. It seemed like the little creature in her womb will be very cheeky after being born.

Although Richard had an option of ordering online, he did not want to take the risk and he could as well drive to the shop himself. He did not want to risk the health of his wife and that of his unborn child. How he wished it was a daughter, he would pamper her like a princess.

It happened that it was in the middle of the night, so there were almost no cars on the road. In a blink of an eye, he was already home, holding a bag full of hamburgers. 

Amanda who had already slept, was woken up by the alluring aroma. Her stomach growled making her blush in embarrassment.

Richard smiled upon hearing that.

"Will you be able to sit up on your own?" He asked as he approached the bed.

"Yes." Amanda felt even more guilty.

Richard has always supported her. Even to the extent of taking her to washroom. He has never allowed her to walk on her own, or let her leave his sight. Although it felt like she was caged, Amanda loved the feeling of being cherished. She did not feel like Richard was overdoing it, rather she felt guilty for always being a busybody.

"I can do it." 

"Just lie, I will help you." Richard said as he hurriedly approached the bed.
