“You have to eat Laurel.” Aunt Sarah placed a plate of still hot food in front of Laurel. “Let's give it a try even if it's just a few bites.”
Laurel glanced at the food on the plate. The food was delicious and, if she weren’t feeling dizzy, the sweet smell would surely make her salivate. However, at that time Laurel felt dizzy and did not want to eat. Nevertheless, she saw Aunt Sarah looking at her expectantly.
The woman who is like her mother must have gone to the trouble of cooking this meal for her. Laurel did not want to disappoint her.
Just to please Aunt Sarah, she ended up taking the plate and taking a bite of her food. Her stomach, which had not been filled all day, greeted her with an overwhelming feeling of nausea. However, Laurel held it back. She continued to eat the food for up to three bites, and then gave up, staring at Aunt Sarah with an apologetic look.
“I am so sorry, Auntie.”
Aunt Sarah smiled and nodded understandingly. “I

That morning, as usual, Laurel helped bathe Alin's baby. It had been one week since she had stayed at Alin's house. Her best friend forbade her to leave first and she accepted the offer, considering her condition was not getting better. She always felt nauseous and wanted to throw up all the time. Her head sometimes felt dizzy and her condition had not even improved during the week she lived with Alin. The baby had been bathed and Alin gave him breast milk, while Laurel rearranged the baby's toiletries. As she bent down to put the towel into the laundry basket, a sudden pain shot through her lower abdomen. The excruciating pain made her groan as she clung to the towel rack beside her. “Laurel?” “It really hurts!” Laurel held her stomach that felt like it was being squeezed. The pain is excruciating. Alin placed her full and sleeping baby in the cradle, and then stepped closer to Laurel. “Come on, Laurel, maybe you're too tense and tired. Lie d

Laurel was stunned. She turned her head and stared at Aaron in silence. The man was looking down, not looking at her. His gaze lost in his own thoughts. “Do you know how I felt at that time?” Aaron smiled bitterly. “I came with all my arrogance and confidence, feeling powerful and having everything, feeling I could buy someone an apology, but I was wrong. You made me realize that time. When you said that I was a lowly human with no self-respect, hiding behind my father's power, you were absolutely right.” Aaron sighed. “I came home fully aware, like I was slapped to wake.” The man finally looked at Laurel with a look full of pain. “But I'm trying, Laurel, I'm trying so I can stand before you, with dignity. I tried my best. I founded my company as my proof to you. The company did not accept my father's interference at all. I started from scratch. And, yes, I did lie to you. I watched you from the start. Don't get me wrong, Laurel, I have absolutely no ill inte

Aamber came at noon to celebrate Laurel's return. She brought a giant teddy bear and flowers into the house.“I'm sorry I didn't see you at the hospital. I have a phobia of hospitals. Mom sends greetings to you; she had to fly back to Spain. Our aunt's condition is deteriorating and Mom wants to be there to take care of her.” Aamber looked at Laurel's stomach carefully. “Are you and my future nephew okay?”Laurel smiled. Aamber is very straightforward and funny. Laurel could probably be good friends with her. “He is fine.” She rubbed her belly affectionately. “Thank you for the flowers and doll.”“At first I was confused about what to buy. However, without realizing it, I was carrying this big teddy bear out of the shop.” Amber laughed. “By the way, where is Brother?”Laurel glanced at the second floor. “Aaron is taking a shower.”“Oh.” Aamber smiled gen

“Don't lift that thing!” Aaron grabbed the small fruit basket that Laurel was carrying deftly. “For God's sake, Laurel, sit down! No need to help anything. Let Aamber and the servants take care of everything.”Standing there and on his hips, Aaron really looked like an arrogant boss who liked to order people, making Laurel's lips pout.“Aaron, I can carry myself! I'm sore because you told me to sit all day.”“You're heavily pregnant and your tiny body is tired of carrying your huge belly!” Aaron looked threateningly. “Sit down, Laurel, or I won't want to massage your feet anymore.”Of course, it's a lie. Aaron never forgot to massage Laurel's feet every night with a gentle essential oil, helping her get rid of her aches from having to carry around her growing womb. He also did not forget to help apply olive oil to his wife's stomach which was getting bigger.Today they are preparing the nu
