My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 402

"Melody," Evie called out affectionately.

Melody immediately walked over and linked her arm through Evie's.

The two looked incredibly close, radiating a tight-knit bond.

"I heard you haven't been sleeping well lately, so I had someone prepare some Premium Red Bird's Nest and other expensive health supplements just for you."

Evie was in high spirits as she chatted quietly with her friend. "You really didn't have to go to all this trouble. I have plenty of those things at home."

"That's entirely different," Melody replied with a gentle laugh. "What you have at home is yours. This is my personal gift to you."

"I just want you to recover quickly so you can come shopping and hang out with me again."

Evie looked at her, deeply moved. "You're so good to me, Melody."

From the moment Melody had walked in, Evie hadn't taken her eyes off her.

Worried that Seraphina might feel slighted, Eleanor leaned in and quietly explained, "Those two grew up playing together, so they share a very deep bond."

Seraphina offered a gracious smile. "Yes, I can tell they're very close."

Little Bean, still cradled in Eleanor's arms, darted his big eyes around the room.

"That Monroe woman looks sweet and gentle on the outside, but she's totally faking it. Her resting heart rate is much faster than a normal person's."

He paused, then added, "Though, as far as acting goes, she's only an eight out of ten. Mommy is a much better actress than she is."

Seraphina paused mid-sip. "Excuse me? I'm a better actress? Since when do I act?"

Little Bean replied promptly, "Whenever you pretend not to know what I'm talking about, Mommy. That's acting."

Seraphina was speechless.

She couldn't believe she was being called out by her own infant son.

Susan walked over with a small bowl. "Ma'am, the baby oatmeal is ready."

Seraphina sighed internally. "Can you please focus on something other than ribs?"

Little Bean defended himself. "No can do. I am a highly principled Agent Little Bean, but I am also an intellectual foodie. The two are not mutually exclusive."

After dinner, Eleanor took Little Bean out for a stroll in the courtyard.

He was passed around like a hot potato—first held by Eleanor, then by Susan, and eventually even by a maid he barely recognized.

He complained bitterly in his mind: "I am a baby, not a relay baton! Can I get a little respect here?!"

Seraphina was by the koi pond in the backyard, teasing the fish.

Without anyone noticing, Little Bean's toy ball rolled toward the edge of the pond.

Evie walked over and bent down to pick it up.

Her fingers slipped, and the ball tumbled right into the water.
