Since Nina had finished shooting most of the scenes of the TV show, the director granted her a few days off. Therefore, she was not on a tight schedule this time.
It was almost noon when Nina arrived in Riverside City. She heard from Lucien that Cameron had been busy with his work these days and probably still in the lab at this time. Hence, Nina decided that she would go check on him tonight after he had done all the experiments.
She went back to her house, took a shower to clean up, and headed to Emelia's residence to have lunch with her.
The size of Emelia's baby bump stunned Nina. "Your belly has grown so much since I last saw you. How long has it been? A month?"
Ever since the meet and greet for "Princess Leilania", Nina and Emelia only got to connect with each other via phone call or face time. Emelia's baby bump was barely noticeable before Nina left Riverside City. This time, however, it was like Emelia had stuffed a balloon under her shirt.
"Yeah, the twins grow really quickly," Sitting on the sofa, Emelia stroked her belly and said with a smile. "The doctor said that I might have to be admitted to the hospital in a while and stay hospitalized until delivery."
Nina's eyes softened. She stroked Emelia's face and said, "Sweetie, I know it's hard for you. Thank you for bearing my babies."
Julian glanced at Nina and said, "Do you know what you are saying? They're not your babies."
Julian had also said 'thank you' to Emelia countless times. Every time Julian saw Emelia walk around in a gingerly fashion because she didn't want to accidentally hurt the little two lives in her growing pregnant belly, Julian's heart ached for her. He wished that the babies could come out already and end this suffering right this second.
Nina snorted, "So we are not biological related. They are still my godchildren. "
Nina leaned on Emelia's shoulder as she said, and Emelia just let her be. Seeing that, Julian was speechless.
"What were they doing sitting so close to each other?" He thought to himself.
Just then, the housekeeper called them to meal. Julian thoughtfully helped Emelia up from the sofa, carefully escorting her to the dining room.
Behind the two, Nina rolled her eyes at Julian. Was Julian being jealous of her? Again? She was Emelia's best friend!
When the babies are born, was he going to be jealous of them for hogging Emelia's attention?
At the table, Emelia said that she wanted to give Nina the copyright of the romance comedy she wrote based on Nina as a wedding gift. Nina said, "Thanks, I'll take it then."
Emelia had put so much effort into writing this novel. The most respectful thing to do was to accept the gift. Even if she said that she wanted to pay for it, Emelia would refuse it. Their friendship was way over this.
Emelia smiled and said, "You're welcome, this is the only proper wedding gift I can think of."
She had talent in writing. Being able to use her own words to retell the love story between Nina and Cameron and make it into a book was the sincerest gift she could give her.
Nina blew her a kiss. "Love you."
Julian could only turn a blind eye to them. He almost died of jealousy.
"Where is Cameron? Why is she plaguing my wife all day?" Julian was screaming in his heart.
Julian asked, "Do you and Cameron plan to adapt it into a movie or something?"
Nina shook her head. "Personally, I don't want to."
She turned to Emelia and explained, "I'm afraid that the haters will troll on me."
Julian snorted, "Afraid? That's new."
Nina had always been tough and rugged. If the haters trolled her, she would troll them back harder. Now she was saying that she was afraid of the trolls?
