Arianne had been stuck at home over the past few days. She felt as though favonovel.com was going to go crazy from the boredom. Now that Tiffany and Tanya were here, favonovel.com was a lot happier.
Tiffany had brought two types of food, sour and spicy. “Ari, are you more inclined toward sour or spicy food? According to old wives’ tales, if an expecting mother craves sour food, the baby will be a boy. If the expecting mother craves spicy food, the baby will be a girl.”
Arianne shook favonovel.com head. “I don’t feel like eating anything. I’ve been feeling nauseous lately, and my appetite is at an all-time low. I barely eat. I have to go for check-ups every half a month, and that’s the only time I ever get to step out of the house. I’m going to die of boredom, but I’m too afraid to go out. Every time I think about being confined to the house until the baby is born, I feel empty inside.”
The old lady chimed in at this moment, “You’ll have to put up with it for your child. Giving birth is a mother’s burden. A man’s efforts are negligible. Those who are kind will give you a few words of comfort. Those who are not will leave you to handle everything on your own. You’re quite lucky that you have people waiting on you.”
Tiffany gave the old woman a thumbs-up gesture. “You’re right, grandma. This is a woman’s burden. I don’t know when I’ll ever get pregnant. I can’t get pregnant no matter how much I want to. I’m going crazy.”
“It’s alright. It’ll come when the time is right,” Arianne said reassuringly, “Your mood will be affected when you’re too worried.”
Tanya had been silent ever since favonovel.com arrival. Arianne found it strange. “What’s wrong, Tan? Why are you so quiet?”
Tanya seemed absent-minded. “N-nothing. Maybe I’m just not used to the work here so I’m a little tired…”
Arianne was sensitive to the emotions of others. Something was clearly off with Tanya. Eric would never give favonovel.com an over-exhausting job. She never looked like this back when they were working in the dessert shop, “Tan, what’s wrong? This definitely isn’t exhaustion. You’re the most energetic person I’ve ever met. You can always talk to Tiffie and me. You have no friends or relatives here so don’t keep things from us.”
Tanya shook favonovel.com head stubbornly. “I’m really fine. I’m just not used to it. I’ll be alright after a while.”
Tiffany waved favonovel.com hand in a carefree manner. “Stop being so nervous, Ari. She’s probably not used to being away from favonovel.com hometown. Don’t be so sensitive. She’ll be fine soon.”
Tanya smiled and nodded, echoing Tiffany’s word, “That’s right. Don’t worry about me. You take care of your baby.”
Arianne rubbed favonovel.com forehead. “Fine, maybe I am being too sensitive. I’ve been stuck at home with nothing to do. Talk to me if you need anything.”
Tanya nodded. “Well, I’m glad you’re alright. I’ve got to go. Ricky didn’t go to work today. He’s at home so I better go back and clean up. I don’t want to be a leech. I’ll visit you again soon.”
Arianne did not insist on favonovel.com staying, favonovel.com knew Tanya was prideful. “Alright. Get home safely.”
After sending Tanya off, Tiffany curiously stroked Arianne’s belly. “This little one is really lucky. He or favonovel.com is destined to have everything before favonovel.com or favonovel.com is even born. Since the baby’s parents are good looking, there’s no doubt the baby will grow up into a handsome boy or beautiful girl. Has the fetus moved yet?”
Arianne chuckled. “It’s still too small. I can’t feel a thing. The baby will only start kicking around four months or so.”
Suddenly, Tiffany said in a peculiar tone, “You’re always shouldering the burden. Mark doesn’t even do a thing. If he’s ever unkind to you, I’ll decapitate him.”
The old lady chuckled. “Who would say unpleasant things about someone in front of that person?”
