âYouâre pregnant, why didnât you tell me? Were you planning to keep it a secret if I didnât come to your studio?â Camille said angrily to Valda in her studio.
âItâs not like I was intentionally keeping it from you. Itâs only been a little over a week since I found out, and because itâs still early in the pregnancy and the fetus is not stable yet, I wanted to wait until it was more stable before telling anyone,â Valda explained.
Upon hearing this, Camilleâs expression immediately turned nervous. âHow is the fetus now? Is it stable?â
âFor now, itâs okay. The blood test results have doubled, but we still need to check every week,â Valda replied.
âThatâs good,â Camille breathed a sigh of relief. âBut now that youâre pregnant, itâs best to reduce your workload so you donât overwork yourself.â
She knew how much her friend wanted this child, so now that she was pregnant, it was natural to protect her and the baby.
Valda also nodded. âI will try to finish the comic Iâm currently serializing before I give birth, and after that, I plan to take a year off.â
âSure,â Camille readily agreed. âIâll go back and see how I can adjust your current serialization process for you.â
After finishing their work conversation, they started talking about the baby in Valdaâs belly.
âYouâre pregnant, how is Brian reacting?â Camille asked curiously.
âBe careful, and he talks a lot more now than before. I didnât know before that he could be so chatty,â
Valda chuckled.
After all, in her memory, he had always been a man of few words. However, after they started dating and their relationship improved, he did speak more, but not excessively.
And until now, she only just found out that he too can be a bit of a complainer.
Camille chuckled at the comment, âIâm actually looking forward to seeing what Brian will be like as a dad in the future.â
Suddenly, Valda imagined Brian holding a baby⦠Hmm, it seems like sheâs starting to look forward to it too!
Although Valda had originally planned to wait until after the first three months had passed before telling her godmother and in-laws about her pregnancy, Brian took care of Valdaâs diet and daily life, and even had the butler hire a chef to make special dishes for pregnant women. He also accompanied Valda to prenatal check-
ups and even placed some pregnancy-related books on the office desk.
How could the old Mr. Hart and the old Mrs. Hart not have guessed it!
So he went straight to his sonâs office, closed the door, and began to interrogate him.
âIs Valda pregnant?â Mrs. Hart asked directly without beating around the bush.
âOkay,â Brian replied readily.
Mr. and Mrs. Hart, who are elderly, exchanged a joyful glance with each other, both expressing happiness in their eyes.
Valda is pregnant, which means they will have a grandchild! They have been envious of their old friends who already have a third generation, so this is exciting news for them.
Although they didnât pressure their son to have a baby after getting married, they have always been longing for one deep down. And now⦠they finally see a glimmer of hope!
âHow long has it been?â asked Mrs. Hart again.
âItâs almost been 6 weeks,â said Brian.
â6 weeks? How is the fetus doing now?â asked Mrs. Hart anxiously, while Mr. Hart also looked on nervously.
Brian, on the other hand, calmly said, âEverything is fine.â
