With that, she went for an ultrasound scan. Rodney kept following her.
However, when Mireya underwent the Doppler ultrasound, the baby was uncooperative as its face could not be seen. The test did not turn out well.
As such, Mireya ate chocolates while climbing the stairs for an hour. Only then did that damn baby turn around, revealing its face.
However, once the report of the Doppler ultrasound was out, Rodney was pleased about it. “Is this my daughter? She’s really pretty.”
Mireya asked in astonishment, “How do you know it’s a girl? Did you ask Chester?”
Rodney was stunned. “Chester didn’t tell me. By the look of the baby’s pretty features, I feel that she’s a girl.”
The corners of Mireya’s mouth twitched. ” I didn’t know you could determine the gender of the baby. “
Mireya touched his nose embarrassedly before he purposely took a photo of the Doppler ultrasound report. “You damn brat, who allowed you to cover your face? Because of you, your mom had to climb u p and down wearily for a long time. After you’re born, you have to be filial to your mom, okay?”
Upon hearing his words, Mireya shot him a complicated look. She probably did not expect him to be so considerate.
She was quite tense at first, but his words lifted her mood all of a sudden.
Rodney suddenly approached her and said earnestly, “Mireya, I used to think that prenatal tests were easy. When I saw your blood being drawn and that you climbed the stairs, I really think that I was overboard back then. I didn’t even fulfill my duty as a husband. I won’t behave like this anymore. I’ll treat you and the baby well. I’ll also accompany you to every checkup. If you’re not well, you can let me Stunned, Mireya turned her head around and looked a t his handsome face, which was very close to her. The man’s red lips were elegant, and he looked as attractive as a fox.
Based on the entertainment magazine she read earlier, it seemed that his type of lips was suitable for kissing as it would provide a great feel.
Suddenly, her heart raced madly in spite of herself. She kept cursing herself internally.
What was she thinking about?
He was just good-looking, but could he make money with his good looks?
She should not be swayed by his words just because of his good looks.
“Mireya…” Rodney suddenly called her as he moved closer to her.
“What are you doing?” His action raised a panic in Mireya. She wondered if she was blushing.
She could not help but touch her face, which seemed to be burning.
“You seem… to have grown slightly fatter, ” Rodney said out of the blue. “Your cheeks look chubby, ” he was too shy to instead say that she was quite adorable.
Mireya did not know what to say.
Rodney’s words made her heart pound and her face flush. She must be crazy.
This man would not behave himself unless he got a punch.
“Yeah. I’m fat. I’ve gained five kilograms since I’m pregnant with your child.” Mireya stomped on Rodney’s foot. After he bellowed in pain, she left in a huff.
Once Mireya returned to the villa, she called Cate to vent her anger. “Rodney, that dumbhead, said I deserved to be single. I think the same applies to him too. Even without Sarah’s involvement, I guess he wouldn’t have gotten a girlfriend as well.”
Cate was speechless. ” In my view, the two of you deserved to be single, so stop taunting each other.”
Mireya was glum. “Are you actually my best friend?”
“I’m just telling the truth,” Cate sighed. ” Although Rodney has his weaknesses, he donated his blood to you. He also planned to buy you a chicken to help replenish your blood, so he’s considered a good househusband. But you mentioned that he reminded you of your mom, which was like a wet blanket. You might as well say that he looks like your mom.”
Mireya was at a loss for words.
Uh. Now that Cate mentioned it, Mireya realized that her comment did seem like a wet blanket.
“Hold on. Why are you standing up for Rodney now? You disliked him back then, didn’t you?” Mireya suddenly asked. “When he accompanied us to the clubhouse the other day, he fought with Bryce to protect you. His actions made me think that he’s quite manly. He might’ve done a lot of things wrong, but he’s slowly trying to be a good father and husband.”
Cate added helplessly, “Of course, it’s mainly because you’re pregnant with Rodney’s child and both of you are officially married. If he’s really remorseful, can’ t you give him another chance? “
Mireya pouted and moaned, “Given that he speaks so meanly, would I die early if I live with him for the rest of my life?”
“Isn’t that good? If he lives with you for the rest of his life, he might die early due to your provocation as well. It’s nice to have someone die with you.”
When the scornful laughter resounded, Mireya lost her temper. “Cate Cox…”
“Enough. Be content that you have a chicken to eat. From the moment Shaun and I married, split up, and gave birth, he has never cooked any chicken broth for me, ” Cate said in a grim tone, ” Thanks to you, I don’t feel good. After I made peace with Shaun, he said he’ll make time to cook for me. In the end, he’s been tied up all the time. What a liar that man is. It turned out to be a trick.”
Mireya could not help but giggle secretly. Cate and Shaun had always been the ones who acted all lovey-dovey in front of her. Little did she expect that she would one day do the same to Cate.
“Fine. I’ll stop here now. I’m going to check if Rodney bought a chicken. If I don’t get to drink the chicken broth, I’m going to kill him.”
Mireya hung up the phone like a queen.
Luckily, Rodney made it even though it was not known where he got a fresh chicken. Wearing an apron, he was trying hard to cut the chicken into chunks.
Moved by his act, Mireya could not resist snapping a photo of him secretly. She then sent the photo to Cate to show off.
A moment later, Cate sent a sticker that read ¡® We’re not friends anymore’.
Mireya pursed her lips and smiled.
Shortly after, Cate sent another WhatsApp message. [I admire you guys so much. It’s been a long while since Shaun and I had a joyful meal together. I don’t even feel like preparing a meal sometimes.]
Mireya felt a twinge of guilt. Compared to the pressure Cate and Shaun were facing at this point, Mireya and Rodney were much more fortunate.
With the Snow family backing them, Mireya and Rodney were not stressed.
Seemingly… She should be content.
Well… She would treat Rodney slightly better then.
At noon, Rodney cooked a big pot of golden chicken broth. He had simmered it for more than an hour in a cooker. The broth smelled good.
As Mireya had a baby in her belly, she naturally became hungry once she sensed the aroma of the broth.
” It was my fault… in the hospital this morning, ” Rodney took the initiative to apologize to her unexpectedly. ” I shouldn’t have said that you’re fat. Actually, I didn’t mean to taunt you. There’s nothing wrong with being plump. Your chubby face looks quite… cute.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned his face away. His ears were burning.
F*ck. As if it was his first time saying such cheesy words to her, he found it really awkward.
Mireya felt weird too.
She had long since gotten used to the way of getting along with him where they would argue several times a day. All of a sudden, he came to her and called her cute.
That feeling made it seem as though pigs might fly.
Although it was strange, she… she was a little heartened.
After all, who would hate being complimented? In particular, she was a pregnant woman who was starting to grow in size.
“I’m naturally cute.” Mireya took a ladle and snorted in a self-righteous manner. ” Back then, I was so pretty that my cuteness was invisible. Now that my prettiness has faded a little, my cuteness has become irresistible.”
“Ahem. ” Rodney felt lucky that he had not drunk the soup. Otherwise, he would have choked.
“Is there anything you disagree with? You can voice it out, ” Mireya said with a grin.
“I’m fine with it, ” Rodney replied as he subconsciously withdrew his leg for fear that it would be stepped on again.
Mireya nodded in contentment. She gulped down two bowls of soup in feeling good.
The following night. Jubilee International Hotel.
A modest yet grand banquet was being held in the dining hall located on the top floor.
Rows of cars filled the hotel’s parking lot.
Although the Snow Corporation was said to be the organizer of the banquet, a lot of people were under no illusions that Nathan was the one backing the company. Those who could attend the banquet were no ordinary people.
