"It seems like I've bought everything I need," Noah muttered to himself as he once again checked the items in the shopping bag.
He had carefully noted down everything he needed, from flour, baking powder, milk, butter, and maple syrup. He didn't need to buy eggs, salt, and sugar because he had already made sure that he had those things in his kitchen, and that was why he just bought other things that were not available at home.When he read one of the old-fashioned pancake recipes he found on the internet, he breathed a sigh of relief because it didn't seem difficult to make. In fact, the ingredients needed were easy to find in supermarkets, therefore he immediately went to the nearest supermarket to buy those items.He went alone. Even after he told the woman he was sincere this time, Jessica still doubted him. When Jessica said that he had changed a lot in the past week, he almost said that what she said was nonsense, but when he thought about it agaiP13R's song "Many Money Man" was no longer played in the kitchen. It turned out that Jessica was the one playing the song loudly on her cellphone, but now her cellphone was quiet and didn't make any sound anymore. The kitchen was enveloped in an uncomfortable silence, but the three of them suddenly smelled something that managed to change the atmosphere a little. Tyler even looked panicked as he immediately turned around to face the stove again, and his hand immediately turned it off. But, it was too late because what was in the frying pan was already burnt black. “I think you misunderstood us,” Jessica answered as she started walking towards her husband, leaving Tyler alone by the stove. “Your boyfriend and I aren't that close, and I just told him to make something to eat. Didn't you hear how I scolded him before? You should think I was bullying him." Noah got a response from his wife but not from his boyfriend, and he glanced slightly at his boyfriend
Two months had passed since Jessica almost failed to keep her secret. At that time, Noah seemed to want to reveal the truth to his boyfriend regarding the fetus in Jessica's stomach without knowing that his boyfriend was the father of the fetus. At that time, Tyler even directly questioned her, thinking that maybe he was the father of her child. Jessica was in a difficult situation at that time, but she managed to find an excuse. [“Noah was annoyed to see us together, and he just said nonsense. Don't take his words seriously. You, as his boyfriend and someone who has known him for a long time, definitely know his character when he's angry, right? That's why it's better for you to just ignore what he said," said Jessica while trying to cover up the truth. Tyler didn't answer right away, and it seemed like he was considering whether the woman was lying to him or not. When the black-haired remained silent for a while, Jessica spoke again, "And yo
Tyler acted like an outsider when he expressed his opinion, and it surprised Jessica. Suddenly, the man looked as if he was just an ordinary friend of Noah's, nothing more than that. As a good friend, Tyler only wished for his friend's happiness, and that made Jessica confused. 'Maybe he's just acting, right? Two months ago, Noah felt suspicious about our relationship, and we both tried to limit our interactions to dispel those suspicions. So, what he did today was probably the same, right? He just doesn't want Noah to feel suspicious of us, right?' Jessica could only make guesses in her head without being able to voice them. Her head was full of unanswered questions, and she failed to notice it when someone suddenly moved his body closer to her, she could even smell the person's shampoo because the distance was so close. When she woke up from her reverie, she could hear a “click” sound, and she finally realized that Noah was just helping her fasten her seat belt
It was still the same doctor who managed to trick Jessica with her youthful appearance even though she was the same age as her. It was still the doctor named Helena Smith who welcomed her, and the obstetrician-gynecologist managed to surprise her with her question. Stiffly, Jessica turned to look at Noah, and she could see how shocked he was. "I'm her husband," Noah said, and the doctor looked even more confused after hearing what he said. “I'm sorry, but I think there's something I don't understand here,” the doctor answered. “Mrs. Brooks has been visiting me for over three months, and on every visit, she was always with a black-haired man. Sorry, I don't mean to pry into your personal affairs, but I'm just confused here.” Even before the doctor expressed her true feelings, Jessica already knew that she was confused. At this moment, she just realized that she was too careless when she agreed to take Noah to come to the hospital with her today
Unfortunately, the male sonographer was not as friendly as Helena, and his face became flat after hearing Noah's unexpected words. "Oh," he answered flatly. “If that's the case, you can look for another sonographer now. Unfortunately, this hospital only has male sonographers, so you may need to look for another hospital to find the sonographer you want, sir.” Not that the sonographer sounded offended by Noah's words. On the contrary, he sounded lazy when he said his answer, and he would have even casually left the room if Jessica hadn't tried to stop him. “Please continue with the procedure!” Jessica said, and the sonographer turned to her. "But your husband won't let me do that, ma'am," answered the sonographer lazily. "It's okay," Jessica answered, glancing at her husband. “The skin you will touch is mine, not his. I am the one who can decide whether someone can touch what is mine or not.” Even though her relationship wit
Jessica was surprised by Noah's answer, and for a moment, she didn't know what to do or say after hearing his answer. However, she chose to ignore what he said in the end, thinking that Noah might be confused by some things, but he would soon return to himself. Jessica kept telling herself not to fall twice. This time, they once again sat across from Helena with only a rectangular table separating them. The results were in the doctor's hands, and she looked serious about reading them until her brows furrowed. “Is everything okay, doc?” Anxious, Jessica asked the doctor. Hearing the question, the doctor then looked up from the report in her hand before answering, "There's nothing wrong here." She smiled, then continued, “During the examination, did you see the image displayed on the computer, Mrs. Brooks?” "Yes," answered Jessica. “Is there something wrong with the image, doc?” “No, no. It's nothing like that,” the doctor answered imm
The husband and wife walked side by side in the hospital corridor. It was quite a busy day at the hospital, and many people were walking in the corridors. Noah even accidentally bumped into some people several times and needed to apologize for it. “Can you focus on walking instead of continuing to look at that picture?” Walking beside him, Jessica scolded the tall man. The reason was that it was completely Noah's fault that he ended up bumping into those people. He was holding a piece of paper, and a picture was displayed on the paper. It was none other than the ultrasound image they got from the doctor, and his eyes were glued to the image after they left the doctor's room. "There are two babies in your stomach," he muttered, but it seemed like he had no intention of answering his wife's question. "I know!" Jessica answered while rolling her eyes. “The doctor has already explained everything to me, and you don't need to repeat it. Save your e
The next day, when she was about to tell her mother about the results of the previous day's examination, her mother surprised her with her answer. [“NO! Don't say anything about the gender of the baby now!” Jessica even had to move her cell phone away from her ear when her mother uttered a response while raising the volume of her voice. Jessica only called her mother, instead of coming directly to her parents' house to tell them. It was Sunday, but she was too lazy to get out of bed, and that was why she just grabbed her cell phone before calling the older woman. "Why did you suddenly change your mind, Mom?" While lying on her bed, Jessica tried to be patient while asking her mother. "Before I went to the hospital yesterday, you always told me to immediately do an ultrasound examination so that you could immediately find out the gender of your grandchild. Why don’t you want to know the gender now?” “It's not that I don't want to know
