Andre said, "Lie down, I'm gonna cut your nails."
"No, I can do it myself." Mia didn't want her husband to baby her too much.
But Andre gently laid her on the bed, opened the drawer, and picked up the nail clippers, "You're pregnant now, and she shouldn’t bend over. It'll put pressure on your belly. If I don't trim your nails, who will?"
Mia looked at her gentle husband, walked over and gave him a peck. It wasn't a burning passion, but it was filled with love.
"Honey, I'll be a good person and do good deeds. I'm thankful for god to bring you into my life." Mia said.
Andre looked at her, "I'm already doing good deeds."
He was also grateful, for this serendipity.
He held her from behind, kissing her. There was no excessive passion, just full of affection. "Fighting is not good, no more of that." Andre said.
Mia shook her head, starting to argue, "Your son somehow snuck into my belly. If I hadn't fought, I might not have found him. So, not all fights are bad."
Andre glanced at his wife's belly, "You want to argue with me? I'll tell you the harm of fighting. You almost miscarried and you've broken a bone. You were sent to the police station and you..."
"Alright, honey, don't be so serious. You really need to lighten up." Mia couldn't out-argue him, so she played along.
Andre asked, "Are you going to fight again?"
"Depends on the situation." Mia said.
In the middle of the night, Mia's stomach growled. Andre had to get up in the middle of the night to keep her company while she ate.
While eating, Mia asked, "Honey, if I have a difficult labor, would you choose to save me or the baby?"
"Stop talking, eat. Don't mention such ill-omened things." Andre scolded her.
Mia continued eating, and asked again, "What if my appearance changes..."
"Your appearance won't change." Andre said.
"I'm just saying what if." Mia retorted.
"There's no 'what if'." Andre said.
Mia was a little annoyed, "Honey, I feel like I can't talk to you."
Andre said, "Finish eating, then we can talk."
Mia, spooning an egg from the bowl, said, "Honey."
"Eat first, then talk." Andre insisted.
"Okay." Mia agreed, "Honey, I..."
"Eat first." Andre said.
Mia pouted her lips, not knowing why that she had so much to say, "Okay, I get it, eat first."
Just as they were eating, Andre's phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID, and hung up directly.
Mia quickly finished her meal, wiped her mouth, and looked at her husband, "Honey, who was that on the phone?"
"An old subordinate." Andre said.
Mia was a little jealous, "Which one? A man or a woman? Why is she calling you in the middle of the night? Why does she have your private number? Did you guys used to call each other in the middle of the night?"
Andre answered, "Don't overthink it, she's just a regular subordinate. She's studying abroad now, not working anymore."
Mia said unhappily, "Even though she's studying abroad, she doesn't understand basic decency and called in the middle of the night. I've never worked a day in my life but even I know not to bother people."
Andre agreed with his wife, "You're right."
