Chapter 1691



I smiled faintly. After thinking for a bit, it indeed seemed to be so.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for so long. Let's go have some fun." Shannon came close to me, her big eyes fluttering. It only took me a second look to know that she did not have good intentions.

I took a small half-step back warily, but she still caught me.

If it were any other time, I might have been eager to say yes to her, but not now.

"Sorry, Shannon, I can't go with you right now. I've been rather busy lately." I was not lying to her about that.

When she heard that, she came closer." What's wrong? You're pregnant and your

Theo won't let you rest?"

"No, no." I hurriedly waved my hands.

"Then what is it? Why are you still thinking about working? I say, you should stop working so hard. The child's father is already so busy, so you should stop being preoccupied with work and spend more time with the child.

"Children grow up quickly. You shouldn't feel... Why are you smiling?"

Shannon's barrage of words was like machine-gun bullets. There was no way for me to interrupt her.

I could only wait for her to notice that something was wrong and stop to ask me. Only then would I have the opportunity to speak.

"It's not as serious as you think. It's just that Theo is quite busy these days. He's always forgetting to eat because he's so busy with work, and I'm worried about his health. I'm just responsible for supervising his meals during this period."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Shannon had a sudden realization, then I saw most of the excitement on her face instantly dissipate.

"Jordan is also like that. He's been so busy recently that I barely get to see him in person. I fall asleep before being able to see him at night, and when I wake up, he's already gone to the office..."

I could hear that this was not what Shannon wanted either.

Although Theo and Jordan had a competitive relationship. Shannon had never brought up the things between the two in the

conversations between us. It won et

just the roles our husbands played. "But also know that this is what he wants, so I can't stop him. On the contrary, if I insist on not letting him go, he'll be unhappy.

"So, I simply don't think too much about it and find ways to make me and the baby as happy as possible instead."

When she spoke, the excited smile returned to her face.

She grabbed both of my hands. "Please, Wanda. Accompany me to go swimming tomorrow. This is a special course for pregnant women. It's good for the baby, and there's a special teacher. It's very safe."

I was slightly relieved as she mentioned going out to have fun just now. I was worried that she was talking about those activities that were too exciting or thrilling. This suggestion indeed sounded better.

"Well, I'll just keep you company."

I said, gently stroking Shannon's stomach.

We went out of the bookstore and agreed to meet the next day before leaving the mall.

In the evening, Theo was still as

late

busy as before and almost forgot dinner. I first brought Munchkin from home to the company. Looking me and Munchkin in the conference room hungry and waiting for him, he immediately decided to go out to dinner with us without a second's delay.

During dinner, talked to the two about my arrangements for the following day." Munchkin, I have go for a swimming lesson tomorrow. Can I ask you to

Thet

supervise Daddy to make sure he eats on time?" "No problem. Don't worry, Mommy. Go ahead.
