"As long as it's our child, it's the same for me."
Coralie could not discern anything from such a faultless answer from Skylar. But in the end, it still made her happy.
Fortunately, Skylar didn't have any preference for the baby's gender.
"By the way, let's buy some stuff for the baby this weekend."
Skylar sat next to Coralie. He wrapped one hand around her waist while his other on her belly. When he thought of the little life in her belly, and how that child belonged to them, he couldn't help but look forward to its arrival.
"The weekend? Isn't it too early? I'm only six weeks pregnant."
A woman's pregnancy would last more than 36 weeks! Coralie had only be noticed of the fact that she was pregnant but Skylar was already one step ahead of her, planning to buy stuff for the baby. It was still too soon!
Skylar kept insisting. "There are a lot of things a child needs. We are just amassing them slowly in advance. In that way, we won't have to rush it when you're about to deliver."
Judging by Skylar's every move, Coralie knew that he couldn't wait for this child to arrive in the world.
Since he was the one who proposed, Coralie did not refuse anymore. She nodded and said, "Okay, but we don't know the baby's gender yet. What color do we pick?"
Blue for a boy and pink for a girl...
This was not a problem for Skylar. He held Coralie's face towards him and gently kissed her on the lips. "We will just buy anything you like. If we can't use them this time around, we can still use those for our second baby."
Since they'were barred from having sex within the first three months, Skylar didn't go deeper into this conversation.
......
Coralie still went to work as usual, but because her colleagues saw her eating the pregnancy meals, they knew that she was pregnant.
During lunchtime, Valerie sat down and heard a male colleague beside her table saying, "Sigh, she's pregnant before I had a chance to court her."
"It was fortunate that you didn't do anything. She's already married. What else could you do?"
The other person next to him teased him.
"The main reason is that I found out too late. If it weren't for the annual dinner, I wouldn't have known about Coralie."
"Beautiful women are more low-key."
"Well, I think she is not only good-looking, but also good-tempered. I have a feeling that Lenora would pass the hosting job to her in the future."
There were four male colleagues at the table. They were all taking turns evaluating Coralie, and their appraisal of her was quite high.
Valerie, who was sitting beside them, felt uncomfortable listening to their words.
She knew about Coralie's background. There was nothing special about it. Coralie only graduated from a regular college, and her work experience was a mess. It was impossible for her to land a job in Skyton Corporation with her work experience.
However, not only did the colleagues in Skyton Corporation not comment on her work abilities or how she got into the company, but they were actually praising her?
How could Valerie feel content?
"Valerie, did you hear that? Coralie is quite capable. She managed to attract the male colleagues with just the annual dinner. It's no wonder that President Holland..."
Lorraine, who was sitting opposite her, whispered when she saw the unnatural look on Valerie's face.
Lorraine worked with Valerie every day. As smart and as perceptive as she was, she could tell that Valerie liked Skylar. Valerie was just pretending to take everything in calmly. So, Lorraine told Valerie what was pleasant to her ears and wanted to build a good relationship with her.
It was because Lorraine had discovered that Skylar did not actually hate Valerie.
