In the chilly month of October in Capern City, Grace was easily noticeable due to her growing baby bump.
The clothes that Grace had bought were all Aâshaped, just enough to cover her bulging abdomen.
Because she was very thin, it was almost impossible to tell that she was pregnant.
Although she had not seen Brian for a long time, they were all in the same city. She was still afraid of suddenly meeting him one day.

âIf you want to repay me, you can bring me lunch every day, okay?â
Aprâgra Grace did not expect his request to be so simple. âReally?â
Justin nodded. âOf course, Being a doctor is very busy. Sometimes, when youâre busy, you can only cat takeout. If you can eat your food every day, youâll be happier than anything in the world.â

âAlright, thank you. Iâll go back first.â
Justin nodded. âI called a taxi for you. Be careful on the way back.â
âThank you.â
