In truth, Lucian really wanted Amelia to gain some more weight. Before, he had joked that she would easily get blown away by the wind, to which she said that she would just cling onto his neck.
At the thought of this, Lucian couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing Lucian smile to himself, Amelia couldn't figure out why he was so happy. Not thinking too much about it, she stood up and started clearing out the table. But before she could pick anything up, Lucian immediately stopped her, "Let me do it. Just go relax at the living room." There was a hint of concern in his tone when he saw how full she looked.
"Hey, you were the one who cooked. So it's only fair that I do the dishes. We need to have a fair division of labor around here," Amelia said seriously.
"We're in a relationship, not in a democracy. You don't have to be so serious about it," Lucian said, rolling his eyes. Taking the chopsticks from her hand, Lucian smiled sweetly at her. "People say that pregnant women should be treated like a queen. So now, will the queen please allow me to do the dishes?"
"In that case, when the baby is born, you won't spoil me anymore, right?" Amelia asked directly, crossing her arms over her chest.
With a bowl and dishes to wash in his hands, Lucian shook his head and smiled at her. "My dear wife, please don't think about that right now. All I'm asking right now is that you go relax."
Amelia couldn't help but let out a laugh of her own.
That night, Amelia and Lucian laid down in bed. Amelia's head laid on top of Lucian's chest. She could hear the steady beating of his heart. "Honey?" she said in a quiet voice. "Maybe I should go and visit mo
's go and ask the doctor the check-out time." Lucian squeezed out a smile, trying to get rid of the tangles on Amelia's face.
At the door of the hospital, Lucian and Amelia ran into Emma.
"Amelia, Lucian. You are here." There was always a gentle smile on Emma's face.
It was a little embarrassing for Amelia to meet Emma in such a humble way.
"Hello, auntie," Amelia greeted her with a smile, but her heart was clenched tightly.
Emma just kept smiling at her. "Long time no see. I see you're going to be a mother. Congratulations."
"Thank you, auntie." Seeing that Emma had no intention of blaming her for what happened, Amelia felt relieved.
"Auntie, do you come to visit anyone here?" Lucian greeted with a calm face.
"I came to see your mother. And also... I came to pick up Shelly," Emma said, looking embarrassed. "But Shelly doesn't want to go back with me. I'm such a bad mother."
Emma, who had always been calm, sighed helplessly when she mentioned her daughter.
"Look at me. I don't need to take up your time with these trivial things. You'd better go in now," she continued as she shook her head. Then, she flashed a kind smile at Amelia and Lucian before finally going on her own way.
Just when Amelia was about to enter, Lucian grabbed her arm. "Don't come in," he said with a frown.
"Why not?" Amelia was confused and wondered why Lucian suddenly changed his mind.
"Didn't you hear Emma just now? Shelly is also here." When he mentioned Shelly, he couldn't help frowning, and his eyes were full of disgust.
"I ran into Miss Shelly in the ward yesterday. I don't think there's anything to worry about," Amelia smiled.
