âValeria, as long as you donât look at me, you wonât get mad.
â
He knew he couldnât stay away from her even if he tried.
Rosalynn couldnât help but smile.
She gently placed her hand on Valeriaâs wrist, her expression serene as she made her diagnosis.
âHutton, there is no need to worry.
Valeria and the baby are both perfectly healthy,â she reassured him.
Valeriaâs confidence swelled.
âDid you hear that?â
Rosalynn playfully pinched Valeriaâs hand and said with a smile,
âDonât be too hard on him, Valeria.
Itâs his first time becoming a father, and his nerves are a testament to how much he cares about you.
â
Hutton nodded vigorously.
âAbsolutely, I care deeply.
â
Valeria chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mirth.
âBut Hutton, are you more concerned about me or the little one growing in my belly?â
Hutton responded earnestly, âLook at you.
Donât overthink it.
Of course, I care about you the most.
We can always have another child, but there is only one you in this world.
Iâm nervous because Iâm afraid that anything might happen to the baby, which could eventually affect your well-being.
If anything were to go wrong, I would be devastated.
â
His words resonated with sincerity, causing Valeria to purse her Lips and turn away, though she couldnât help but smile.
Karina couldnât resist a playful jab.
âHutton, you are a man of science, arenât you? Why are you so eloquent? Have you been reading a lot of romance novels lately?â
Hutton responded seriously, âIâm being genuine.
Every word I have said comes straight from my heart.
â
It appeared that men of science could either be tight-lipped or, when they spoke, their words carried more weight than those of their humanities counterparts.
Rosalynn couldnât help but silently praise Hutton.
âWhere is everyone else?â Rosalynn asked after noticing that only Hutton and Valeria were present.
âThey all went to the hotel.
â He looked at the time.
âThere is no rush, Rosalynn.
We will go over once most of the guests arrive.
