Within an hour, Brent had breakfast ready and served to Hermosa. Hermosa had just come down from the first floor when she smelt the heavy smell of cheese. In a trance she felt her stomach lurch. She covered her mouth and sat down in her seat, fighting back the sickening feeling of revulsion. At the moment Brent still had his back to her as he sorted the food in the oven."You've lost a lot of weight again in the last few days, try the chicken I made for you. Elisa is coming back from nursery this afternoon. I just informed Sam today to send the kids back. I heard that Elisa was arguing that she didn't want to come back, they must be spoiling Elisa rotten..." Brent was in a good mood today, chattering away without noticing Hermosa's face getting worse and worse as her hands trembled and she reluctantly took a bite from her fork into her mouth. As she took her first bite, the strong flavour of the cheese caused her to feel dizzy. She hurriedly covered her mouth and ran to the bathroom.
By the time Hermosa had finished her series of pregnancy tests, the sun was almost down.As she sat on the bench outside the hospital with her test report in her hands, Brent was on the phone with his back to her. Every now and then he turned back to her and gave her a gentle smile, as if to tell her that it was okay, he had everything covered. She smiled with sudden relief and looked up as Hermosa watched the sun set in the distance and silently touched her stomach.She remembered the pain she had felt when she had first lost her second child and felt the beauty of the present, and suddenly her eyes were red. It was only when Brent came to help her back to the car that she felt a small sense of reality return.When she returned home, Brent took care of her for two days. On the third day Hermosa was waiting at home for Sam to take Elisa home. At that moment there was a sudden knock at the door."Could it be that Mister is back?" With joy on her face she ran to the door and opened it i
Simona takes Hermosa to the guest room on the first floor. The room was large, bright sunlight streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling windows and white curtains, making the whole room look airy, Simona dragged over a chair and sat down with Hermosa in each, looking at her in the sunlight: "Brent will probably be back soon, there's not much time:"Brent will probably be back soon and there's not much time, so I'll get to the point.""As well as NYC, we have cottage properties in LA, CA and FL.It's not huge, but it's enough for you two, mother and daughter. We can also find you a decent job if you need it and give you a thank you payment, just mention the amount. But only if ......""Provided I leave Brent, is that right?" Hermosa asked bluntly.Simona, probably not expecting her to be so direct, was stunned: "Hermosa, I know he's very fond of you. It's the first time in his life that he's liked someone so much, but ......""But you two really aren't right for each other. I'm his mo
"I know exactly what your impression of me will be after what I just said, but I don't regret it."In the guest room, Hermosa also stood up. She looked Simona in the eye and said sincerely, word for word:"And I beg your pardon, but whatever decision you make, I will not leave Brent. unless he tells me himself that he does not love me anymore and that he is breaking up with me.""So I've just said all that to you and it's all for nothing?"Simona couldn't help but sneer out. There was a look of deep exhaustion and despair in her eyes that evoked guilt in Hermosa. She didn't want to hurt her at all, didn't want to upset her, but she had no other choice."I'm sorry." Hermosa rarely stuck to one thing from start to finish, but this time he wouldn't budge, no matter what, "Please forgive me."Simona didn't say another word.She just looked at Hermosa and the atmosphere froze in silence. Suddenly the door to the room slammed open and Brent walked in and took Hermosa's wrist in his hand."S
When Hermosa had her check-up the other day, the doctor had just specifically instructed that they were not to have sex until they were 12 weeks pregnant. Otherwise the contractions from the intense banging and pleasure would likely put the fetus in danger. "But it's hard for me." Hermosa knew what Brent was worried about. She doesn't come up to him, she just lies there, lifts one leg and stamps her thin white toes on Brent's belly. It was so hot that it tickled Hermosa's feet. She couldn't help but laugh softly, Brent couldn't see her expression in the darkness, but was tickled by the sound of her voice. "Then don't move, I'll do it for you." Brent couldn't actually resist. He leaned down to continue kissing Hermosa, reached down to remove Hermosa's pajama trousers and smiled when he felt them. Brent touched Hermosa's fragile, sensitive front along the shape and she immediately stifled a grunt of impatience. "Mmmm ...... husband ......""Keep it down, Elisa should be asleep." Br
Time flies, and even though it feels like summer all year round in this city, one can still tell that the year is coming to an end by the red lights and colourful Christmas trees that Chinese families put up on the streets to celebrate Christmas. From early morning to late afternoon, Brent's phone was ringing off the hook as Micky and Jeffrey took turns tweeting and posting pictures of the family celebrating the New Year and @Brent. He was so confused that he tried to pretend he didn't see it, but Jeffrey sent him a private message straight away. Jeffrey: What do you mean, you're really going to leave us alone? Brent: Am I going to die with you guys, or are you going to push me out?Jeffrey: There was a long silence before he sent a second message.Jeffrey: I'm sorry.Jeffrey : I take a lot of responsibility for this situation. I have no complaints at all about you being angry with me, but don't gamble with your parents.Jeffrey: It's hard for them too, they haven't slept much the
It was after two in the afternoon, and the streets were full of pedestrians coming and going, not to mention the traffic. hermosa was startled, and when she pushed Brent out of the way, her heart was beating out of order and her face was burning, but not from the sun. "What are you doing?" Hermosa pretended to scold him, but her heart was sweet, like the ice-cream that melted into sweet sugary water in the sun, "There are so many people here, what if the other parents see?" "I just want them to see." Brent said matter-of-factly. He came to pick up his children with Hermosa almost every day, and it was obvious to him that several of the male strangers looked at Hermosa with something more than a hint of innocence in their eyes. Hermosa himself had been aware of this for a long time and knew what Brent was jealous about, but he couldn't say anything when people just looked at him. "Are you that vindictive?" Hermosa laughed helplessly and raised his hand to slap Brent on the forehead
After the evening meal, the other relatives went home and Micky and Jeffrey drove their girlfriends home, leaving Brent and his family to stay over at his parents' house. Elisa was called to bed by her grandparents in the master bedroom to read her a whole storybook. So Hermosa and Brent lay together in what used to be his bedroom, cuddling and closing their eyes, but no one could sleep. Hermosa was mostly surprised. She still can hardly believe that she has integrated herself into Brent's home. At the party today, Brent's parents didn't mention the two of them outright, but it was clear that they thought Hermosa was part of their family. The others, too, seem to have taken the same view, wishing Hermosa and Brent every happiness. When they heard she was pregnant again, the grandparents and Simona were overjoyed, asking her questions and explaining what she should eat during her pregnancy. Evan didn't say a word, but when they had finished talking, he came over to her and asked he
