I’m not ridiculous. I’ve been pregnant. I understand how a pregnant woman feels… But, to be honest, eight out of ten pregnant women have cravings for ice cream when they’re pregnant…” Sharon Lindt said.
“Really?” Stanley Batton asked with interest.
“Of course. Out of those eight, six of them secretly ate ice cream without anyone finding out. As for the remaining two… Their family members probably felt sorry for them and bought them ice cream…” Sharon said.
“Fine…” Stanley said.
“As long as Xyla’s heart isn’t at risk, let her eat whatever she wants. Nothing is more important than her happiness,” Sharon said.
“Remember what your father said. Treat her like a princess. Got it?” Sharon asked.
“Yes…”
“Okay, good,” Sharon said.
Stanley was speechless.
“Have you been taking good care of Xyla recently?” Sharon asked.
“Yeah, I have,” Stanley said.
“Is that true, Xyla?” Sharon asked carefully as she looked at Xyla.
Xyla nodded. “Yes…”
Stanley had always been attentive in taking care of Xyla.
“Why do I feel as though you have not gained any weight? You’ve gotten thinner, in fact. What’s going on? Do you not gain weight like me when I was pregnant?” Sharon asked.
“Yeah…” Xyla chuckled.
“Oh. I thought Stan was not feeding you well,” Sharon said.
“That’s not the case,” Xyla said.
“Hmm, that’s good to know…” Sharon looked at Stanley satisfactorily. She then turned to look at Xyla’s face.
“Xyla… Is there anything you’d like to eat? I’ll make it for you right now…” Sharon said.
Xyla couldn’t hear what was being said in the conference clearly.
She could only hear Stanley speaking in fluent English.
The way he worked so seriously portrayed the image of a successful, attractive man.
Xyla felt charmed.
After completing her skincare routine, Xyla smelled great from head to toe.
Her fair, tender skin emanated a rosy scent.
It was fragrant but not overwhelming.
Stanley continued to work next to her…
After putting down her skincare products, Xyla looked up and saw Stanley wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses.
He looked much more studious this way.
