"I'll tell you when we get back." I lowered my voice and took a big step forward to catch up with Theo.
Cecilia did not ask anymore. She came forward as well and touched my belly. "How nice, my godson has already grown this big. Another three more months and I'm officially becoming a godmother."
I looked up to see her belly. I smiled and said, " Another six months and I'm becoming a mother for both of our children."
"That's great. By then, we'll be able to take the kids out and breastfeed together." Cecilia walked arm in arm with me. The smile on her face was overflowing with happiness. Theo was walking in front of us. Although he did not say a word, there was a curve on the corners of his lips. It was obvious that he was in a good mood too.
Everything was wonderful!
We were excited about the future now. Little did I know, there would be so many accidents happening in the future that would catch me off guard.
"Didn't you say you were going to be staying in the countryside until you delivered the baby? Why did you come back so soon?" I was confused, so I asked her.
"Jerome said he's coming back. It's been a long time since I met him. So I came back earlier to wait for him." Cecilia was smiling when she mentioned Jerome.
It seemed that the fresh air in the countryside was pretty good. Cecilia looked great and seemed happier.
When Theo was far ahead of us, Cecilia leaned over and spoke softly beside my ear, "It looks like both of you are on good terms. Have the problems been solved?"
I smiled bitterly. "No, we chose to bury them. We've been living together peacefully for some time now, but it won't last long..."
"Why?”
I shrugged and said, "Cindy just came back from Whaldorf today. Theo came to pick her up and ran into me."
"Oh sh*t. That woman keeps lingering around. Hasn’t she found herself wealthy parents? Why did she come back here? Is she trying to make your life difficult?" Cecilia raised her voice and looked angry.
I did not say anything. There was a vague sense of unease in my heart. I could not help but think of Jerome. I asked, "Did Jerome mention when he's coming back? The last time we called, he said he would be back as soon as possible but he didn't tell m e the exact time."
"No. He only said he'll be back after he’s done with his affairs there. He'll probably come back in these few days." Cecelia shook her head.
We soon reached the parking lot. I saw Theo standing i n front of my car. I asked, "Where's Miss Reed? Aren’t you sending her back?"
