“What’s wrong? Are you not happy? Hadn’t you always wanted a child?” Sophie asked. What’s with the look on his face now? Is he not happy?
“Of course, I’m happy! But does that mean I can’t touch you anymore starting today?” After the initial burst of joy, that practical question occurred to Tristan.
We’re newlyweds, and I haven’t had enough of her. Yet, my days of abstinence are now here? This doesn’t feel good at all!
Sophie was wholly stunned. What a peculiar way of thinking! But that seems to be true. It’s said that special care is required during the first trimester.
“What should we do, then? Are you suggesting that we abort this child?” Dad has been looking forward to a grandchild.
At her question, Tristan’s expression changed drastically.
“No way! Having an abortion is exceedingly detrimental to a woman’s health. I’ll never allow such a thing to happen to you.”
He clutched her hands tightly.
Then, he continued confidently, “Don’t worry, for you’ll be free when the child is born. I’ll take care of him. All right, don’t think about anything now. Just focus on eating.”
Sophie started eating while Tristan went down to business. When she noticed that he had not taken a single bite of his food, she could not help questioning him, “What are you doing? If you don’t eat, the food will
go cold.”
“I’m browsing the internet for information on the things to pay attention to during the early stages of pregnancy.” I must take care of her wholeheartedly henceforth. Thus, I naturally have to know all that.
Tristan’s reply struck Sophie dumb.
Oh well, he attaches great importance to everything to do with me, much less when it’s such a colossal matter of having a child.
Tristan looked through some information, paying close attention to the food that suited pregnant women and otherwise. He planned to start cooking for her upon going home since she could not eat outside food often now that she was with child.
“That’s enough. Eat first and continue browsing at home.”
“Okay.”
Only when Sophie had said as much did Tristan start eating. He scarfed down the food, and when he was done, he resumed browsing the internet again.
At that, words eluded Sophie.
Isn’t he being overly anxious? Every woman experience childbirth. He’s really being too worked up.
“I’m a medical student, Tristan. I know how to take care of myself. You don’t have to be so worried.” It’s truly unnecessary, and his behavior is breaking my heart.
“I know you’re amazing and can take care of yourself, but you’re my wife, so I’ve got to tend to you meticulously. Just entrust yourself to me with peace of mind.”
Verily, that’s all she needs to do.
“All right, then.”
Sophie could no longer be bothered to dissuade the man. It doesn’t matter as long as he’s happy. Anyway, he’s a responsible man in the first place.
Before leaving the restaurant, Tristan sent a message to the WhatsApp chat group with his friends.
It read: My wife is pregnant, guys. From now on, I’ll be focused on taking care of her. There’s no need to call me out for any gatherings.
The other three men in the group chat went silent.
They were all stupefied. Whoa! Sophie is already pregnant in such a short time? Mr. Tristan is really a force to be reckoned with!
After sending the WhatsApp message, Tristan did not bother responding to his friends’ replies in the group chat. Instead, he took Sophie’s hand and headed home with her, determined to tell William about the good news.
