Heaton brought Verian to a bookstore first. They bought a whole bunch of pregnancy-related encyclopedias that would include a pregnant woman’s diet, sleep, exercise and things to look out for. Everything was basically covered.
The staff reminded them when they were paying the bill, “Sir, ma’am, the contents in these books are all very similar. Are you guys sure, you want all of them?”
Heaton immediately said, “Don’t worry about it. I want all of them.”
After buying a bunch of pregnancy-related books, they returned home. After tucking Verian to sleep at night, Heaton went to his study.
He gave Kush a call, “Have you registered for madam’s yoga class?”
“Boss, why don’t you just hire an instructor over to teach madam directly?”
Would that not be even more convenient?
Heaton had thought everything through. He replied, “It’ll be boring if the madam stays at home all day. It’ll be a good thing if she gets to socialize with others in class and practice yoga with other pregnant women.”
“Wow boss, you really thought everything through.”
Heaton was worried that Verian would be bored being alone at home since he had to work during the weekdays, Little Jelly Bean had to go to school and all of her friends like Serene had her own job too. Not many people would get to keep her company anyway.
After the phone call ended, Heaton rubbed his temple as he looked at the pile of pregnancy related books on his desk before beginning to read it.
He never took notice of all of these previously and he always thought that giving birth to a child was an easy thing to do. However, he never knew there would be so many things to look out for. Those were things he previously overlooked.
…
Verian was not sleeping soundly. When she flipped over, her hands instinctively reached out for Heaton. However, she felt nothing. When she opened her eyes, there was no one beside her.
Verian was in a poor mood and she did not feel tired so she got out of bed and went looking for Heaton.
Heaton should be in the study.
Verian did not knock and when she entered the room directly, she noticed Heaton was reading a book.
“Why are you still reading when it’s so late now?”
When she approached him, she noticed he was reading a pregnancy encyclopedia.
When he noticed her coming in, he put the book aside, reached out and held onto her wrist before pulling her into his arms.
“Why are you awake? Can’t sleep?”
Verian hugged his neck with both arms and leaned into him. She mumbled in a soft tone, “I can’t sleep that well without you.”
Heaton patted her back, lowered his head and kissed her brows and nose before saying, “Let’s go to bed then?”
“There’re so many books here. How long do you plan on reading?”
“I should know about what to look out for or else, I’d regret if anything were to happen to you and our child again.”
Verian smiled before reaching out to touch his neck. She said, “Originally, I was still very worried but since Mr. Fudd is by my side, I no longer worry even by the slightest.”
Heaton carried her in his arms and said, “Let’s sleep now. I’ll send you to pregnant yoga class tomorrow morning.”
“Um… I’m not sure if I’d be able to finish the full course. I’m not flexible at all.”
Heaton chuckled. He seemed very delighted as he said, “It’s a good thing to practice it since it’s still a useful skill to have after you gave birth to our child.”
Verian pinched his shoulders harder.
…
Heaton sent Verian to yoga class early next morning.
Each attendee were all very pregnant women. Heaton only dropped her off at the door. He did not follow her inside as he merely lowered his head to kiss her forehead before speaking in a deep voice, “I’ll be waiting here until your class is over.”
Verian gave his waist a hug before saying, “I’ll head in now then.”
Heaton watched Verian enter before turning around and returning to his car. He started reading the pregnancy encyclopedia in the car.
