Theresa who was leaning against the door was startled for a moment. She stepped into the room and
looked at the bed that somebody had indeed slept in before. She turned his head away and did not
dare to look at Dolores as she felt guilty to tell Matthew their room password.
He must have come here while they were away. However, she could not figure out why he had come
here in the daytime just to sleep in Dolores’s bed? What was he actually thinking in his mind?
He could just sleep as he wished, but why didn’t he tidy up the bed before leaving?
He had left traces behind and she had to explain it.
“You must have remembered by mistake. You have left without tidying up.” Theresa explained calmly,
“Isn’t that a pregnant woman will be silly for three years? You’re currently at this stage now. You have
remembered things wrongly. I’m taking the kids out for dinner now.”
Theresa turned around and was about to leave after saying that.
“No, I remember clearly that I have tidy up the bed. It is my habit and I don’t like the bedroom to be
messy.” Dolores recalled carefully and she still felt that she remembered correctly. She had tidied up
the bed before leaving.
“The two kids have gone to school. I was with you for the whole day. Oscar was the only one left who
knew the password. Can he be the one? Obviously not, it is just that you have remembered by
mistake.” Theresa said confidently and it sounded like that was really the case.
Dolores stood by the bedside and she became indecisive. Could it really be that she had remembered
by mistake?
Theresa was right as they were the only ones who knew the password. Although Oscar looked not
serious at all, he was still very considerate and thoughtful. He would not have come in without greeting
them since he knew all women and children living here.
Moreover, he would not have slept in her bed.
“Alright, what do you want to eat? I will bring it back for you? You rest for a while.”
“I want to eat radishes.”
She did not know why but she suddenly wanted to eat them. When she was pregnant, she did not have
any appetite and did not have any particular cravings. However, she suddenly just wanted to eat
radishes.
“The green and crispy kind,” Dolores said.
Theresa was speechless.
“Are you going to eat radishes for dinner?” Theresa held her forehead. Couldn’t she be this stupid,
right?
“There is nothing I want to eat particularly. I just suddenly want to eat this but I don’t know if they sell it.”
Dolores sat down on the bedside while figuring out whether she had tidied up the bed.
“Is there anything that they didn’t sell now?” Theresa said, “Do fruits and vegetables still have seasons
now?”
In this day and age of technological advancement, food was common and easy to be produced. With
those kinds of greenhouse and constant temperature technology, what could not be grown?
Moreover, the food she wanted to eat was not something rare.
“I will go to the supermarket later and take a look.” Theresa walked out after she finished speaking, “I’m
going to eat with the kids.”
“Theresa, why don’t you ask if I’m going too?” She would usually ask Dolores, but why didn’t she ask
today?
Theresa was speechless.
It was too difficult for her.
“Aren’t you busy for the whole day? I see that you were too tired. Let me bring it back for you so that
you can rest a little longer at home.” Theresa was patient as she racked her brains to explain it.
She did feel tired since the store had just opened and she needed to deal with many things. She stood
up by the bed and walked towards Theresa. She hugged Theresa and said gratefully, “Theresa, thank
you. If you don’t help me for these two months, I don’t know what to do already.”
Even though Oscar could help her to run exhibitions and purchase materials, but he did not know much
about this and was unfamiliar with the materials. So, she needed Theresa to help her out.
“Aiya, what kind of relationship are we? You’re so emotional, do you want me to cry in front of you?”
Theresa patted her back, “Take care yourself well and have a big fat kid. I will be the godmother.”
Dolores smiled, “What if it is a daughter?”
“No, it will definitely be a son,” Theresa spoke convincingly as if she had seen the child.
“Are you so sure?” Dolores looked at her and chuckled, “Is it possible that you have perspective eyes?”
“Isn’t that a pregnant woman with a round belly carries a daughter while a pointy belly carries a son?
Look at your belly, it is pointy.”
She did not have a scientific basis for this as she had heard it from the old people in the countryside.
The so-called round belly was formed because there was excess flab on both sides of the waist. On the
contrary, the pointy belly did not have excess flab around the waist and it was more concentrated to the
middle, so it was regarded as ‘pointy’.
Dolores knew that Theresa was warming up the atmosphere. So, she continued her topic and said,
“Then what should I look like when I’m pregnant with Amanda and Andrew?”
“Square.”
Theresa laughed after saying that.
Dolores was speechless.
It was really square but she didn’t know what kind of thing had been born.
Theresa’s phone rang again with a message alert at this moment. She took her phone out and looked
at it. The content was Matthew asking her when she would arrive.
The address had been sent to Theresa’s phone.
“Who sent you the message?” Dolores did not want to invade her privacy as she was just asking
casually.
Theresa turned off her phone and shrugged her shoulders in a relaxed manner, “Spam message. I’m
taking the kids out as I’m already hungry now.”
“Go ahead and come back early.” Dolores reminded her. Dolores actually wanted her to come back
earlier so that she could rest earlier as she was also tired during this period.
Theresa showed an ‘OK’ gesture. Then, she turned around and left.
Amanda was watching television on the sofa in the living room while Andrew was in his room. Theresa
called them, “Let’s go. We’re going to have dinner.”
The two children were aware and they ran over to her. They were wearing their shoes in the entrance
hall.
“What are we eating today?” Amanda asked as she was concerned about the dinner since she was a
foodie.
Theresa simply replied, “I don’t know.”
Amanda was speechless.
“Somebody is buying and just ask for whatever you guys want to eat,” Theresa said easily as she did
not have to pay anyway since a rich guy would treat them.
Andrew was clever as he could hear the clues from Theresa’s words. However, he did not say anything
and followed Theresa obediently.
He only asked when they reached downstairs, “You know it too, right?”
Theresa was puzzled by his question, “What do I know?”
“My father is inviting us to dinner, right? You know he is here too, right?” Andrew said.
Theresa was stunned for a moment but she regained her sense quickly. Matthew must have seen the
two children, so they knew it.
She nodded her head, “Yes, I know it.”
“Hey.” Amanda sighed.
When they got into the car, Theresa buckled their seat belts, “Why do you sigh?”
“We all know it but only mummy doesn’t know it.” She was worried about her father and mother.
“Kids shouldn’t worry about adult matters.” Theresa rubbed Amanda’s nose and instructed, “I will drive
and you guys sit down quietly.”
“Got it, Renee always says this every time.”
Theresa drove the car and responded to her, “I just want to make sure you’re safe.”
The two children were very quiet and obedient on the way. Soon, they arrived at the address sent by
Matthew.
It was a high-class western restaurant. Theresa parked the car. Then, she opened the car door for the
two children and exclaimed, “It seems that we can really have a big feast today.”
Matthew had arranged this dinner for Armand and Theresa. His wife was important, but his friend was
equally important too.
He still had to help if he was able to do so.
Theresa brought the two children and found the private room. She raised her hand and knocked on the
door.
