My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Chapter 161

"I don't feel like moving!" I felt a little uncomfortable in the lower abdominal area. So, I shifted my body

so that I was lying half on my stomach on the bed.

The discomfort grew worse as time went by.

In the end, I sat up from the bed.

"What's wrong?" Hendrix got up with me and pressed his palm lightly on my belly, "Does it hurt?"

"Yes," I had been feeling slight pain lately for some reason. But everything seemed normal during the

checkup.

After trying to relax for a while, I could no longer continue to sleep, so I took my cell phone and

checked the time. It was only eleven at night.

I got out of bed and said to Hendrix, "Get some sleep. I'll be in the living room."

I would only disrupt his sleep if I tossed and turned in bed for the whole night.

I was once again pulled into Hendrix's embrace from behind. "Don't go. Stay with me in bed. You'll

eventually fall asleep."

"Alright!" I said.

After that, he adjusted the lighting in the room to make it warmer. It was quiet in the room, and I could

only hear his breathing. I shut my eyes, trying to sleep.

"Does it hurt all the time?" Hendrix suddenly spoke.

His voice was clear in the quiet room.

I nodded, curling my body into the fetal position.

"Let's go to the hospital tomorrow," He said as he wrapped his arms around me.

I shook my head, "We've just been there."

I didn't like visiting the hospital that often.

We were silent for a long while. I even thought that he had already fallen asleep until he asked, "It has

been four months already, right?"

"Yes," I responded.

"So there are six more months to go," he said.

I was getting sleepy, so I didn't answer him. I shut my eyes and eventually fell asleep.

When I woke up, the sky was already bright and clear.

I shifted my position a little, and I accidentally leaned into Hendrix's body. His voice rough, he asked,

"Good morning. Did you sleep well?"

I nodded, "Yes, I did."

Still half-asleep, I turned to look at him. I snuggled into him out of instinct while asking, "Are you not

going to work today?"

Usually by that time, Hendrix should already be in the office.

"I decided to keep you company today," he held me in his arms and smiled faintly. "I plan to hand over

everything to Austin tomorrow so that I can be on parental leave."

I laughed, "So, are you planning to give birth in my stead?"

He stroked my belly, and I could feel that the baby was growing inside me every day.

"Seems like I can't," He then planted a kiss on my forehead and asked, "Are you hungry?"

"No," I didn't have the appetite because I had just woken up.

I couldn't fall back to sleep, but I didn't want to leave the bed. I didn't know why I still felt cold when it

was already mid-summer.

I leaned closer to Hendrix's body, and as I adjusted my posture, I brushed across his piece.

He drew in a sharp breath, and he looked at me, "Your hands... Are they still sore?"

My body stiffened. I shook my head and wanted to pull back from him. But he had already pressed onto

me, saying, "I still have to put up with this for another six months!"

I couldn't say anything.

I already figured out what he wanted when he grabbed onto my wrist.

I bit my lip, "It's not good for the baby."

"Who said so?" he chuckled and brought my hand down to his groin.

"Doctor Saunders!" I replied. Truth be told, it would somehow impact the fetus after four months into the

pregnancy.

The air between us grew thicker. He fiddled with it using my hand, and said with a slight pant, "He's

spouting nonsense!"

It took approximately an hour to finish it. I didn't feel like sleeping in anymore, so I went to the bathroom

to clean up myself. Hendrix was also getting ready for a shower.

I headed downstairs after coming out of the bathroom.

Minnie was very busy recently. I heard that her daughter- in- law just gave birth to a baby boy.

Therefore Minnie couldn't come over as often.

Hendrix was planning to look for someone else to replace Minnie, but I didn't like the idea. I didn't want

to get acquainted with another stranger again. Plus, Minnie would only be occupied for at most a

month. I was only four months into the pregnancy, so her absence wouldn't be that troublesome.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
