After getting the answer he desired, Hallet finally felt content.
Both of them were covered in sweat, so Hallet lovingly carried Queena to the bathroom for a wash before returning to bed.
At this moment, Hallet didn’t feel sleepy. He held Queena close, gazing deeply at her exhausted face.
Seeing her in such a state made him feel a bit sorry. This was the first time since they started dating that he had been so unrestrained, mainly due to her provocation.
Although they were in a boyfriend–girlfriend relationship, Hallet’s heart was unsettled. Especially seeing everyone around him getting married to their beloved partners while his own wedding seemed distant. What troubled him even more was that Queena and he didn’t have a deep bond.
He was constantly worried that they might suddenly break up. So, when Queena continued to refuse his card, he felt a bit out of control. Now, as he regained his senses, he felt a tinge of pity for Queena.
He embraced Queena more tightly, then planted a deep kiss on her forehead.
Queena slept through the night and woke up the next morning to find Hallet preparing breakfast.
Upon waking up, Hallet approached Queena with a pleasant expression, softly saying, “Queenie, wake up. Let’s have breakfast.”
Feeling as if her whole body had fallen apart, Queena slightly turned over, feeling a sharp pain in a certain area. “Ouch.” Queena winced in pain, instantly recalling the events of yesterday.
Seeing Hallet, now wearing an apron, she was so angry that she grabbed a pillow and smashed it against his face. Unfortunately, this action caused pain in the sensitive area, making her grimace again.
Seeing her discomfort, Hallet was heartbroken. To prevent Queena from feeling more pain, he brought his face close to Queena’s hand and sincerely apologized.
“Queenie, I overstepped my bounds yesterday. You can hit me if you’re uncomfortable, but you already agreed to take the card yesterday. You can’t back out now,” he said.
Upon hearing this, Queena couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. Hallet still insisted on her using his card. Seeing the man looking so apologetic, she couldn’t stay angry anymore.
Initially, she had reservations about using a man’s money before marriage, but since Hallet insisted, she was willing to accept.
Since the incident last time, Vincent hadn’t given Queena any pocket money. Although she had some money on her, she had to budget carefully. Hallet had resolved her urgent financial issues.
While Queena didn’t bring up the card again, her complexion was still pale due to discomfort. By this point, her stomach was growling from hunger.
Since she had been in bed with Hallet since yesterday afternoon, skipping dinner, and with all the physical activity, she was starving. Struggling to sit up from the bed, Queena winced with each movement.
Noticing her discomfort, Hallet lifted her up dominantly and led her to the dining room. The table was already set with various morning dishes.
Hallet seated Queena, then tenderly handed her a fork to feed her. Queena, too lazy to move, allowed him to feed her.

After breakfast, Queen was 100 tired and lay back down to rest Hallet, worried about her, didn’t go to the office; instead,
at with his computer on the other side of the bed, attending to work matters.
In the following days, Queena stayed at Hallet’s apartment. Hallet didn’t go to work either, and the couple spent their time in the room, immersed in romance and affection.
During this period. Queena’s film was also in full swing with post–production preparations. Thanks to the film being edited as it was being shot, the post–production time was significantly reduced. It was already prepared for release in just two
months
At the same time, Cynthia and Isabella’s babies in their bellies were also nearing three months, having safely passed the risky early pregnancy stage.
Liam, during this time, was constantly worried about everything Cynthia did, but he couldn’t afford to neglect company matters, so he worked at Regalian Garden every day. Ziv traveled back and forth between the company and Regalian Garden.
As time passed, the study in Regalian Garden had truly become Liam’s second office. To make it more convenient for him to work, he had someone clean up the loft in Regalian Garden and arranged some crucial positions from Sullivan Group there.
“Starting from today, for the next year, you all will be working here,” Liam solemnly instructed. The employees looked at each other, nodding obediently.
After giving instructions, Liam went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast for Cynthia.
This had been his routine these days. He conducted meetings every morning before everyone arrived at work, then cooked breakfast after the meeting, timed perfectly for Cynthia’s wake–up time.
Ever since becoming pregnant, Cynthia had been more inclined to sleep, even if she went to bed early at night, she would sleep until past ten the following day. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Liam placed the breakfast on the table and then went upstairs to prepare Cynthia’s daily outfits. Cynthia lazily turned over in bed and, in a moment of regaining consciousness, felt that familiar sensation in her stomach again.
She quickly got up and rushed to the toilet, heaving dry retches by the side of the bowl. Liam, feeling distressed, handed her tissues. “Cynthia, why is pregnancy so tough? You’ve been sick for two months already, how long will this go on for?”
After Cynthia finished retching and rinsed her mouth, looking pale, she stood up with Liam’s support. Liam then scolded her belly that wasn’t yet visible: “You two in there, be well–behaved, if you keep tormenting your mom, see how I’ll deal with you when you come out.”
Cynthia was amused by his demeanor, her pale complexion gradually regaining some color. She gently caressed her stomach, a happy smile on her face. “These two are quite well–behaved, my morning sickness is still relatively mild. Izzy is much worse off in that regard now.”
Cynthia was a doctor and knew that morning sickness was something most pregnant women experienced, usually only in the first three months, with very few experiencing it into the later stages of pregnancy. She guessed the reason she was still experiencing it might be due to having two little ones in her belly.
Getting double the happiness of others naturally meant enduring a bit more suffering. Every day, Cynthia looked forward to the two babies in her belly so much that she hardly paid any mind to the morning sickness.
The two of them then went downstairs. Despite the morning sickness, Cynthia had a good appetite, eating more than usual every day. This balanced Liam’s worries, and he cooked with varying styles every day.
After eating, Liam tidied up and then took Cynthia out. Today was the day for their check–up, so they drove to Peace Hospital. As they arrived in the parking lot, they coincidentally saw Isabella and Anthony had also arrived.
