However, Dennis ignored her. Looking at Mario and Marcus, he said, "It's getting late. We are leaving now!"
Mario put down the glass, got up, and said, "I'm leaving, too."
"Damn it!" Marcus stood up and said grumpily, "We haven't been staying for long. Why are you so anxious to leave?"
Dennis glanced at them and said, "It's not good for Clara to stay up late. You can continue!"
I was indeed pregnant, so Marcus couldn't say anything. He looked at Mario and asked, "How about you?"
"Go to bed!" Mario spoke in flatly.
Marcus was about to swear. He managed to hold it in and then said, "All right. Let's go if you both want to leave. Let's meet another day!"
At this time, Nova, who had gone to buy dumplings, came back. Seeing that everyone was about to leave, she handed the dumplings to Olivia and said, "Miss Pearson, the dumplings you want."
Olivia didn't even look at the dumplings. She said lightly, "You've gone for so long. I have lost my appetite and can't eat anymore!"
As she spoke, she casually took the dumplings and threw them into the trash can, very skillfully.
Dennis took a look at me and pulled me away. Mario frowned, but did not say anything. He looked at Marcus and said, "See you!"
Nova, though her face darkened, managed to maintain a considerate and gentle image and did not say anything.
Dennis took me to the entrance of the Joy Place and asked me to wait there. He went to get the car. It was dark and there was occasionally a cool wind.
It seemed that it was going to rain.
"When is the baby due?" Suddenly, someone spoke from behind me. I was stunned and turned around. It was Mario.
I said, "Very soon, in half a month."
He nodded. Seeing that Nova was not with him, I asked, "Is Nova your assistant or...?"
"Secretary!" He said, "Have you heard from her recently?"
I was puzzled and didn't realize who he was referring to. I asked in confusion, "Who?"
"Diana!"
I was stunned and shook my head. "No, I've been busy recently, so I didn't ring her. Why?"
He shook his head and said nothing.
I hesitated for a moment and didn't know how to tell him. I paused and said, "Are you going to see her after this period of busy time?"
I didn't know much about them, but I was sure that they loved each other, because they were missing each other.
Diana didn't want to tell him about the child because she was worried that he didn't have her in his heart but in the end, he might have to compromise because of the child.
As for Mario, perhaps he himself had not realized what feeling he had for her!
Dennis drove over, and I said goodbye to Mario. "We can talk another day when we have time. I am leaving now."
I had only walked several steps when Mario's voice came. "When you are in labor, make sure you have someone you trust with you."
I was stunned and felt it funny. "Got it." I had no mother-in-law. Would I go into difficult labor and have to face the problem of whether to save me or the baby?
After getting in the car, I awkwardly moved my body and leaned against the seat. I felt a little tired. "When can you finish your work at the company?"
