A pleasant afternoon, the breeze lifted the white curtains, the gardenia flowers in the garden emitted a faint fragrance, and a leisurely person leaned on the snow-white chaise longuec, holding a parenting book.
Four and a half months, the discomfort symptoms like nausea and pressure have disappeared, mind and body are stable, but caution is still needed, this is an important time for placenta formation, it’s best to maintain mental and physical peace, to ensure the baby’s good development, nutrients must be consumed...
A youthful voice interrupted Rebecca Quentin’s reading.
Rebecca Quentin closed the book, turned her face, and smiled asking, "Marie, what’s up?"
"Mommy called you over for soup!"
Rebecca Quentin rubbed Marilyn Quinn’s lovely short hair and caressed her belly, getting up from the chair.
Upon entering the dining room, Christine Quinn was tying an apron, just emerging from the kitchen.
The aroma of the soup was so enticing that it made Rebecca Quentin’s stomach grumble, "Looks delicious..."
Christine Quinn carefully placed the soup on the table, advising, "Since it looks delicious, have more, this soup is very nourishing."
"Thanks, sis." Taking up the spoon, Rebecca Quentin took a small sip, "It’s hot, but delicious."
Christine Quinn grabbed a newspaper and sat across from Rebecca Quentin, without lifting her head she said, "Drink quickly, the soup is best when hot!"
She was trying hard to supplement her nutrition for the baby in her belly.
Last month’s check-up, the doctor said her baby’s development was not up to standard, she was very worried, the doctor instructed her to pay more attention to nutrition.
Christine Quinn suddenly asked while reading the newspaper, "Did you see today’s news?"
Rebecca Quentin replied in between drinking soup, "Mm."
Christine Quinn raised her eyes and looked at Rebecca Quentin with meaning, "Not feeling anything?"
Rebecca Quentin continued drinking soup, "About what?"
Christine Quinn immediately pushed the newspaper over.
Skytop Group’s president and his mixed-race girlfriend’s relationship heats up, wedding is not far away!
Rebecca Quentin glanced at it and answered, "There are a lot of news about him every day."
Christine Quinn seriously emphasized, "The wedding is not far away!!"
Having finished the soup, Rebecca Quentin wiped her mouth with a napkin, and flatly uttered, "The newspaper says this mixed-race girlfriend comes from a famous family, she’s the niece of the chairperson of the International Business Council, a perfectly matched couple!"
Christine Quinn carefully observed Rebecca Quentin’s subtle facial expression, "Really no feeling at all?"
Rebecca Quentin frankly met Christine Quinn’s skepticism, "It’s false to say no feeling at all, but it was always just a matter of time who he married, I don’t care."
Christine Quinn took back the newspaper and nodded, "True, he couldn’t possibly stay single, in the end, always had to marry... However, this woman is indeed beautiful, has the figure, has the looks, crucially in the eyes of the public she’s very presentable, always appropriate when attending important occasions with Howard Geoffrey, the media even dubbed them as the most attractive and most anticipated couple of the century, able to make those lovesick women who coveted Howard Geoffrey switch to supporting them, this ’Joe’ must have extraordinary qualities!"
"Ha, I watched her silhouette, indeed it is a good-looking silhouette."
Christine Quinn became curious, "Where did you see her? How come you ran into her?"
"I forgot, before I came to America." Just that one time yet she remembered so clearly, even remembering his hand resting on that woman’s fair thigh, but now she did not want to say.
Christine Quinn laughed strangely, "Oh, no wonder you hurriedly came to America, turns out you ran into a rival in Y City, felt unhappy deep down!"
"I’m really not unhappy, but since he intended to stay in Y City to introduce the new girlfriend to Mr. Jones, it wasn’t convenient for me to be present."
"Looks like he forced you to go abroad."
Rebecca Quentin did not refute.
Christine Quinn sighed quietly, "Never thought, us sisters ended up on the same road in this lifetime, not sure if it counts as sharing the same fate now!"
Rebecca Quentin gazed at Christine Quinn’s slightly bitter face, "Didn’t you think about going to talk to Mr. Jones properly?"
Christine Quinn dismissed the idea, "Talk about what? Talk about the pain he caused me those years, or those years willing to be a pawn placed by him beside Howard Geoffrey?"
"Maybe the truth is not as you imagine."
Christine Quinn shook her head, "Rebecca, in my view you’re really naive, you’ve been deceived by Skyler Jones’s hypocritical appearance, his true self is abominable beyond your imagination... Forget it, let’s not mention them, let them be bad, they won’t be able to disturb our lives anymore!"
Rebecca Quentin faintly smiled, "Mm."
"By the way, weren’t you going for a prenatal check-up today? What time approximately, want me to accompany you?"
"Yes, two o’clock! No need to accompany, you’re going to attend the parent-teacher meeting at Marie’s school this afternoon, I can go alone!"
"No worries, no one dares to bully this pregnant woman."
"Alright, be careful yourself, call me if anything happens."
This is a town in Illinois.
The air is clean, surroundings are peaceful, and law and order is good too.
Walking to the hospital only takes about twenty minutes, of course, the hospital here isn’t large, but the medical conditions are quite good.
With an appointment with the doctor, Rebecca Quentin entered the doctor’s office directly upon arriving at the hospital.
The doctor was familiar with her, after some pleasantries, began the examination.
At four months, there are many checks to be done, so after a series of examinations, Rebecca Quentin was so tired she leaned against the chair.
The doctor noticed Rebecca Quentin’s slightly tired face and asked, "How come your sister didn’t accompany you this time?"
Rebecca Quentin answered with a smile, "She had something to do, I can manage on my own."
"Next time still let someone accompany, traveling alone as a pregnant woman is very dangerous."
The doctor held the printed report in hand, glanced at it, and smiled saying, "It’s a boy, developing well this month!"
Rebecca Quentin straightened her body, joyfully said, "Looks like I’ve caught up with the nutrition this month."
The doctor nodded, "All indicators are good, will be a chubby little guy, I’d believe!"
The doctor handed the report sheet to Rebecca Quentin, "Come back for another check-up in half a month, after five months, come once a week!"
