The woman's pleasant scent greeted his nose. He would never forget her scent that night. At this moment, he felt restless with his mind jumping around.
Ella Bo allowed him to drag her hand and wash it. What he washed was not her hands, but her heart.
Seeing the smile on her round face from the mirror, he raised a smile, too.
He closed the tap, wiped up her hands patiently and went out of the washroom, holding her little fat hand.
Seeing the couple walk hand in hand towards her, Melody smiled with satisfaction.
"Quick! Dinner's ready. Well, sit here, Samuel. Ella, sit beside Samuel." Melody deliberately put their seats together.
Samuel knew what his grandma meant. He did not say no, he just dragged the chair out of the table for Ella Bo.
He sat down beside her after she was seated.
Dinner tonight was quite abundant with six dishes and one soup as well as lotus seed wheat kernels porridge, Ella Bo's favorite.
With a look at these dishes, Melody winked at her grandson. Samuel had to refill Ella Bo's bowl with dishes.
Seeing the shrimp meat in her bowl, Ella Bo was deeply touched. That was enough. She was satisfied.
Lowering her head, she ate that shrimp meat happily, only to find that was more delicious than ever. Perhaps, that was when she started to love shrimp meat.
During tonight's dinner, Ella Bo's joy was so obvious. She was smiling all the time when talking to Melody. She ate quite a lot.
Yet her appetite was a shock to Samuel. Two bowls of porridge, six mini soupy buns along with other dishes.
Was this common that pregnant women were all big eaters?
After dinner, the sky was a little darkened. Melody told Samuel, "Now that you are home today, I'm gonna have a rest. You walk with Ella for a while."
Hearing what Melody said, Ella Bo took a look at Samuel, who was ready to start his business work, and refused, "No need, grandma. I'm OK alone."
Today she had been a big trouble to him. If there was more, he was bound to hate her more.
She walked to the door, wore her flats, opened the door and walked outside.
A gust of hot wind blew on her face, leaving her with a sudden sense of sweating.
However, for her baby, she had no choice but to walk for half an hour or an hour.
When she walked out of the Shao family's gate, out of the corner of her eyes, she saw a figure.
Could that be him? She was so nervous that her heart beat so fast.
Samuel followed this pregnant women. It was getting darker and letting her go out alone was quite worrying.
Knowing he was walking along with her, she did not say a single word. She was afraid that he would hate her if she said a word.
This year, the hotness came quite early. It was in middle April and the temperature reached 82.04 ℉. The expected date of the baby was in early May. At that time, it must be very hot.
Luckily, the air conditioners would help. But as she would be in a month of confinement, the air conditioners could not be used all the time.
Although it was a suburb here, the green projects were quite good. She walked along the park.
Then she headed for the street. It would be more busy crossing the street.
People here all finished dinner not long ago and went out for a walk.
Walking to the downtown area, these two were still silent. There were too many people here, so Samuel approached Ella Bo consciously.
At the gate of dessert shop.
