Anna saw that he had agreed to her wish and wasn’t insisting her to go to the hospital anymore. She
also left the stair railing and walked downstairs, carefully.
She looked at his nervous appearance and gave him a supercilious look. In front of his overconcerned
nature, she was very helpless, but at the bottom of her heart, she felt sweet.
After all, pregnancy is the most important and difficult phase of a woman’s life, and most men take it for
granted. Therefore, many women suffer from prenatal depression.
Even though Anna was very moved by his care and concern but he was getting on her nerves. After all,
a man was just looking at herself 24 hours a day, she was not allowed to do anything. To be honest, if it
goes on like this, she felt that she would go crazy.
She knew that his actual intention was to protect herself, but excessive protection is a kind of harm.
With all these thoughts in her head, Anna decided to have a peaceful conversation with him. She
needed some space and she also wanted to make it clear to him that she can take good care of
herself. Above all, she wanted to let him not worry so much about her, like she was some delicate glass
doll.
Daniel Taylor took her downstairs. Mother Taylor wasn’t there, so he didn’t trouble Lisa and personally
cooked the meal for Anna.
Anna held her chin and looked at him from time to time, especially when she saw his side pose, and his
serious appearance while cutting potatoes. Instantly, a sentence flashed in her mind.
"A serious man is the most handsome."
After a while, a simple but nutritious meal appeared in front of Anna. She was so hungry that she
hurriedly took the chopsticks and began to eat it.
Daniel Taylor saw her eating like this and reminded, "slow down. No one will take it from you. Be
careful."
Anna ignored his nagging and kept on eating.
After eating everything, when the plates in front of her were empty, she put the tableware down, wiped
her mouth, and said in a low voice, "Sir, I think we should talk."
"What do you want to talk about?" Daniel Taylor took the dishes, and asked casually, "Sit on the sofa
and wait for me for a minute."
Anna obediently stood up and walked towards the sofa, but she hasn’t walked out of the dining room
when she felt a strong, warm hand on her waist.
She surprisedly looked at the man holding her, and said helplessly, "Sir, aren't you going to do the
dishes?"
Daniel Taylor waved, "that’s not important. I’ll take you to the sofa first, and then wash the dishes."
Anna was unable to persuade him, so she had to let him help her sit on the sofa. She sat on the sofa
and looked at the man wandering beside her. She said, "Sir, don’t wander here. It is making me feel
dizzy."
Daniel Taylor stopped moving and asked worriedly, "Why are you feeling dizzy? Is it anemia?"
After hearing that he wanted to relate everything with her health, Anna decided to talk to him as soon
as possible. She pulled him to sat by her side. Then she said in a deep voice, "Sir, I know you are
worried about me and our baby, but I think your behavior isn’t normal."
Anna hasn’t completed her sentence, when she saw Daniel Taylor standing up in a hurry, then she saw
him going to a side, bringing a pillow and putting it behind her. After that, he sat down again and said,
"you can continue now."
Anna rolled her eyes, and then continued the sentence that just left unsaid, "I think that you are
exaggerating the common problems of a normal pregnancy. I admit that you are worried because it’s
my first time to be a mother. I haven't eaten shark fin, but haven't I seen a shark? This is my point. I
used to live in a community, I have seen many pregnant women there. I have also been in contact with
those pregnant women, although I am not particularly familiar, still, I know some basic things."
Anna paused for a moment, saw Daniel Taylor listening to her carefully, and continued, "Just like you, I
am also looking forward to the arrival of this new life. But sir, to be honest, if you keep on treating me
like this, I will feel very uncomfortable. For example, you don’t go to the company and just accompany
me all the time. This makes me feel like I am some kind of a princess of ancient times. Although your
such treatment has no serious consequences such as bringing disaster to other people, still it gives me
a lot of pressure."
"But, I just…" Daniel Taylor was unconvinced. He wanted to retort, but Anna interrupted him.
"Listen to me first. I know what you mean. You just want to be with me in the most important time of our
life. I understand and I know that you will be a good father in the future. However, I still think that you
should give me some space. For example, go to the company as you used to go every day, and I will
take care of our baby at home. After all, I am the mother of the baby. I cherish this child more than you
do."
After saying this, Anna picked up the glass of water on the table, took a sip, and then peeked at him.
He twisted his eyebrows, then his facial expression’s relaxed, at the end, he just laughed at himself.
His reaction frightened Anna. She quickly shook his arm and asked in a low voice, "Sir, are you ok?"
Daniel Taylor looked at her and saw the deep worry in her eyes, so he laughed and stretched out his
hand to rub her hair. Then he said in a low voice, "I understand what you mean. It’s also true that
during this period, I have been very nervous. The moment you got the news of your pregnancy, I wasn’t
there to accompany you. So, I am taking extra care of you to compensate what I owe to you."
"Sir..." his words touched Anna’s heart and she looked at him with red eyes. Her hand unconsciously
grasped his hand, and she said, "I know. The past is over. It’s a new beginning, right?"
Daniel Taylor clasped her hand, then nodded heavily, "Yes. It’s a new beginning. This time, I won’t let
go of your hand."
Anna stretched out her, touched her face, "it’s so nice to have you."
Daniel Taylor gently held her in his arms, then stroked her hair, "Yes, it’s so good to have you. By the
way, have you ever thought it is a boy or a girl? I think it’s better if it’s a girl."
Anna quickly pushed away his arms and said with a cold face, "You won’t be happy if it’s a boy? Or you
only love girl?"
Daniel Taylor saw Anna’s changed appearance. He was completely flustered and quickly explained,
"No, I just think that girls are better, girls are obedient and sensible. Unlike a boy, boys are naughty and
gives people a headache."
Anna felt that she had misunderstood his meaning, bowed her head in embarrassment, then stroked
her abdomen "Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it doesn’t make a difference. The most important thing for
parents is to treat them fairly."
Daniel Taylor also thought about her mother’s attitude toward her and could not help holding her tightly,
then he whispered, "don’t worry, you will be a good mother in the future."
Anna hugged him and nodded, "We will work hard to be qualified parents."
She said and pointed under the tea table. Daniel Taylor didn’t understand her hint, so he reluctantly
released her, and looked at the pointed direction.
