Jim said patiently, “Go and take a look.”
He sounded as if he was smiling widely.
Diana put down the handset. She put the receiver facing up, so that she could call for help with
anything she needed.
She wanted Jim to hear what was happening, to prove that she wasn’t deliberately keeping silent.
When she opened the door, she saw many clothes bags hanging on a rack, like presents waiting for
Diana’s selection.
Next up was a meal trolley. It was piled with food; the first thing she saw was fresh caviar and birds’
nests.
Diana could smell their delicious aroma. Unfortunately, she didn’t have much appetite right now. She
didn’t even have the appetite for durians, which she used to crave so much.
All she wanted was to see James Winnington again. There were some things that he needed to tell her,
so she could find clues to progress to the next step.
“Mr. Hughes,” Diana said, lifting her hand as a sign for the server to shift the things away. She didn’t
need them.
She also told Jim, “In the future, please don’t go to such an extent for me. I’m getting fatter, and I really
don’t want to eat anything sweet. I’m also not hungry at such a late hour, and I shouldn’t be eating
something as rich as caviar.”
Jim probably did it out of the kindness of his heart. He was simply showing concern for a pregnant lady.
Diana wondered if saying that would hurt him.
As she expected, Jim sounded angry. “You might not be hungry, but your babies need the nutrients.”
His words stunned Diana. Why did it sound so familiar…?
He sounded just like a mother-in-law who cared only for her grandson, and not her daughter-in-law…
As if a pregnant lady was just a vessel with the aim of giving birth to babies.
Anything could be sacrificed for the sake of the baby.
However, such unbridled greed, binge-eating, and physical strain on the body was completely
unnecessary.
Diana was determined to maintain her figure during this pregnancy. Julian had agreed to it, too.
What’s more, Jim was a top-notch researcher in the medical field. He couldn’t possibly not know that a
fetus was but a high-level parasite.
No matter what happened to a mother’s body, it would absorb nutrients from the mother’s body for the
sake of survival. As long as there was no discomfort with the pregnancy, nothing would go wrong, even
if the pregnant mother went hungry.
Conversely, if the nutrient intake of the pregnant mother was too high, her body wouldn’t be able to
absorb them all after the fetus had its fill. It would then all end up at fat accumulated on the mother’s
body.
Jim’s words upset Diana.
“Mr. Hughes, I am the babies’ mother. I don’t think they need me to eat so much to keep them alive.”
It was already so late. She just had a meal outside, and couldn’t possibly keep eating. She wasn’t a
pig, for goodness’ sake!
As for the clothes…
“Also, I’m here on a holiday. Of course I’d bring my own clothes. I don’t need you to go to this extent for
me, Mr. Hughes.”
Diana decided to make herself clear. “Actually, all the attention you’re giving me during my pregnancy
is causing me mental stress.”
“You don’t need to be stressed,” Jim said very naturally, “I’m doing this for the sake of your babies, not
for you.”
Diana sighed. She really didn’t know how to communicate with Jim anymore.
He probably said that in order to make her feel less pressured.
