Chapter 169: I Will Rest Today to Stay With My Wife
With the phone in her hand, Hilla didn’t regain her senses until Halle came over. "What’s wrong with you? Why are you sitting here in a trance?" "Halle, I just called Margaret. It was a man who answered the phone."
If Orlenna and Bruce were to find out about this, they would be extremely surprised.
At that time, the Anderson family would be in a mess.
"What are you fussing about? If Margaret has got married earlier like us, she would already have kids."
Although Margaret called Hilla sister-in-law, she was several years older than Hilla.
It had been a year since Hilla had been married. However, Hilla was still surprised at this.
Hilla was stunned for a moment and couldn’t retort Halle.
Halle was right. Margaret was already an adult. It was normal for her to have a boyfriend. Although Orlenna and Bruce didn’t allow her to fool around, they couldn’t stop Margaret from falling in love with others.
Margaret didn’t need to make a fuss about that.
The man’s voice was quite pleasant to hear. Hilla seemed to know that man.
However, she couldn’t recall who he was because she had hung it up hurriedly.
Was he Horton?
Hilla held her chin in her hand and thought for a while. However, she couldn’t figure out anything, so she stopped thinking of it.
Halle was right. Margaret was not young anymore. She was just accustomed to being called "sister- in-law" by Margaret. As a result, she almost forgot the fact that Margaret was older than her.
"You are right. I am her sister-in-law now. I’m worried that she would be hoaxed by men."
Hilla muttered in a low voice. She amused Halle.
"You don’t need to worry about Margaret. I think she will be more skilled in this aspect than you. You were lucky enough to meet Bruce."
Halle said and poked Hilla in her forehead. Hilla retorted, "Not everyone has good luck!"
Halle chuckled. "Margaret is the lady of the Anderson family. As she has been abroad for so many years, she would already be a bad girl if she wished. Although she is naughty sometimes, she knows well with whom she should make friends. Compared to the Holt family, the Anderson family attaches greater importance to the cultivation of their kids."
"You are blessed with good luck. I’m happy for you."
Hilla leaned on Halle’s shoulder like a child, touching Halle’s stomach and saying in a soft voice, "I am your younger sister. You’re my only dependence in the Holt family. In the future, whether you’re rich or not, please don’t abandon me if I’m in trouble."
"Okay!"
"Halle, you’re so nice. My nephew is also good."
"Maybe she is a niece!"
"That little niece is also good."
...
Horton and Margaret were in the hotel room.
Julian glanced at the phone screen and frowned.
Who the hell was that person? How could he hang up quickly before Horton could say anything?
Julian got up and went to the bedroom. He glanced at the woman lying like an octopus on the bed and asked resignedly, "Are you awake?"
Last night, when Julian had opened the door, Margaret rushed into his room and lay in his bed without saying a word.
It was already noon, but Margaret was still sleeping. Julian had never seen such a lazy woman like her.
Seeing Margaret still lying on the bed, Julian asked casually, "Have you slept enough? It’s already noon. Do you want to sleep until tomorrow?"
How could she sleep for such a long time?
Finally, Margaret moved the quilt and stretched herself. She narrowed her eyes slightly and said, "You are noisy."
"You’re sleeping on my bed in my room. How could you say that I’m noisy?"
Julian had to order an extra room on the opposite last night. Recently, he had met Margaret several times? He could not help but wonder why it would be like that.
"It doesn’t matter. If you want to sleep, you can come over and sleep with me together! It has enough room."
Margaret thought to herself, "If you dare do that, I will kick you off the room."
Julian chuckled. "I don’t want to share my bed with a tramp."
"You said I’m a tramp?"
Margaret immediately jumped up from the bed and strode over with her long slender legs. "Have you ever seen any beautiful tramps who smell good like me?"
Julian pushed her face away and threw a phone to her.
"Your daring just called you. As you were sleeping, so I picked up. I wanted to ask him to pick you up, but he hung up immediately when I answered the phone."
After Julian finished speaking, he coughed uncomfortably. Probably the phone caller had misunderstood him.
"What? How could you pick up her phone? What did you say to her?"
When Margaret saw the address book and realized it was from Hilla, she couldn’t keep calm anymore.
She suspected that Julian didn’t tell her the truth. There was a five-second call time, so they must have said something.
Hilla must have wanted to contact Julian through Margaret.
Margaret felt guilty towards Bruce. It was her mistake.
"I didn’t say anything," Julian replied to her. It was true. Hilla had already hung up the phone before he could say anything.
Margaret thought he was trying to cover the truth.
As expected, Hilla did have affairs with Julian. If she called back to ask Hilla, Hilla would certainly say the same thing as Julian.
Margaret was distressed. How could Hilla cheat on Bruce? It shouldn’t be like that. If any, Bruce should be the cheater.
Then Margaret glared at Julian as if she was going to kill him.
Julian was stunned. He was so kind to have her sleep in his bed for a whole night. Why did she look at him like that?
Margaret snorted. She pulled up the quilt and wrapped it around herself. Then, she suddenly got to the bed again and rolled.
"I need to stay for a few more days."
"Go back to your room."
"I have checked it out!"
Margaret had no money to stay in a five-star hotel anymore. She had already run out of money. Her pocket money was not enough for her at all.
Julian said, "It has nothing to do with me. This room is mine. Please leave immediately."
Margaret smiled coldly and posed in an enchanting posture. She blinked her big eyes and said, "What if I don’t?"
Julian thought that she was not only a tramp but also a rogue. She was not only sloppy but also...
"Get out of here!"
Margaret took out her arm wrapped with a bandage. Then she looked at Julian with her charming and starry eyes.
"You see, I got hurt because of you. Now, because of it, I don’t dare to go home and let my family worry about me. Moreover, I have little money with me. If my family members know that, I don’t know what it would be..."
"Alright, stay here as you like!"
She looked better when she was arrogant and domineering.
Julian turned around, picked up his room card, and left. Margaret rolled her eyes and thought, "If I don’t keep an eye on you, what will happen if you date with Hilla in this room?"
She would not allow Hilla to cheat on Bruce.
...
"Halle, are you tired? Why don’t we rest for a while?"
Hilla looked worriedly at Halle’s belly, regretting agreeing to visit the park with her.
Now that Halle was about to give birth, she should not have agreed to Halle’s request.
Walking for a pregnant woman with such a big belly, despite a short distance, would be a heavy burden.
Being afraid that something would happen to Halle, she was cautious along the way.
Even a small stone on the side of the road, she would feel it dangerous for Halle.
"Let’s rest in the pavilion in front."
Halle glanced at the pavilion. This was the time when the air was fresh in the morning and the weather was not hot. In addition to a few youngsters running in the park, there were several elders training in the square.
There were fewer people than usual, and it was quieter.
Hilla helped Halle sit down and handed over the cup in her bag, busying herself like a nanny.
Looking at Halle wiping the sweat on her forehead, Hilla complained in a low voice.
"You’re going to have a baby. Can’t we stay at home? And what if you get heatstroke on such a hot day?"
Halle was amused by her complaints and pointed upwards. "It’s only six in the morning. Did you ever see anyone get heatstroke in the morning? It is the coolest time in this season. If we don’t come out at this time, when will we?"
"Then don’t come out. Anyway, you are going to give birth in a few days." Her frown deepening, Hilla put on an unhappy face.
Halle touched Hilla’s forehead. "It’s because there are still a few days before the baby is born that I have to walk more. Don’t you know that pregnant women with the first child can give birth smoothly by walking more?"
"If I don’t want to suffer too much when I give birth, then I have to be diligent."
Hilla pursed her lips. "I’ve never given birth before. How would I know?"
Halle turned shy. It had been heard from others and she did not know if it was true or not. Anyway, she also had no experience.
However, in order to hide her feelings, Halle quickly said, "I see. You want to go back and sleep more."
Although Hilla usually didn’t sleep too late, she wouldn’t wake up at six and went to
the park to exercise.
The only one who could make her so diligent and willing to climb out of the bed was Halle.
"I don’t think so. I just feel it hard for you to walk every day for so long. What if you fall to the ground someday?"
Hilla had a worried look on her face. Ever since Halle came from the countryside to wait for delivery, she had been nervous all the time and always kept her eyes on Halle’s belly, afraid that an accident would happen.
With time passing by, she realized that keeping company with a pregnant woman was no easier than pregnancy.
She looked more nervous than Halle who would enter the delivery room. Although Halle had comforted her, she could not help it.
Halle had a brighter smile, "Do you think I have a water balloon in my belly and it would break if I fall to the ground with a bang?"
Her pink cheeks looked exceptionally tender and charming by the contrast of the light of the morning sun.
She was indeed taken good care of here. Her weight was as usual, and the child in her belly was growing well, but her face was a little rounder than before.
The nutritious meals that Horton had taken those days might contribute to this.
She used to think that nutritious meals were tasteless and didn’t suit her appetite, but Horton made them more delicious than what she had had before.
At the thought of this, she felt ambivalent. On one hand, she was chasing him away. On the other hand, she was thinking about how good he was. Had she also started to be two-faced?
Forgot it. She just thought the food was tasty and had no other thoughts!
They rested for a while before returning to the Lakeshore Center on the opposite side.
Halle was in high spirits when she returned, but Hilla, who carried no baby, ran back to her room to get more rest.
At the dining table in the morning, it was now Halle and Bruce eating.
Bruce was neatly dressed as he sat at the table. He glanced at the upstairs room, his eyes filled with gentleness, "She’ll skip the breakfast."
Halle chuckled and deliberately asked, "Are you distressed?"
"A little," Bruce nodded.
Then, he added, "But doing exercise in the morning is good for her."
In the past, although Hilla still had had a regular schedule, after she stopped Boxing
training, she was at loose ends. When he was not around, she could even sit on the sofa and draw a whole day of painting.
Halle smiled as she had breakfast. "There’s nothing you can do about it. She’s my sister. I can ask her to go with me anywhere."
It was more like a joke, but Bruce felt Hilla was poached.
His wife belonged not only to him!
Hilla felt refreshed after sleeping for a while. When she went downstairs, she did not see Halle. Instead, Bruce was sitting in the living room, typing on his computer.
Why was it so strange? Why would Bruce who should go to work be here? "Why are you still at home? Where’s Halle?"
Halle who should be at home wasn’t here, but Bruce who should be away was sitting there.
"I’ll rest today and be with you."
"Where is Halle?"
Hilla frowned with an anxious look. Halle was about to deliver, so she felt flustered whenever she couldn’t see Halle.
What if Halle fell outside? What if she was giving birth?
The more Hilla thought about it, the more she felt that she couldn’t stay at home anymore, so she turned around and walked out.
Bruce stopped her and shouted angrily, "You are too much. Halle will have a baby soon. How can you let her go out alone? What if she..."
"Mother and Horton took her to the hospital."
"Hospital? Is she going to give birth? Why didn’t you tell me that? Bruce, you..."
"Why are you in such a hurry?"
"She’s not your sister. Of course, you’re not in a hurry."
Bruce froze and suddenly remembered what Halle had told him. His wife was not his alone!
This feeling was terrible!
"She is your sister, which is also mine. Halle had an examination left last time, and it was a normal prenatal examination. It won’t be long before she comes back."
Bruce was helpless and a little jealous.
It was indeed a feeling of jealousy.
Hilla was startled and calmed down a bit. "How did mother and Horton go there? You could wake me up!"
"Mother just happened to come over. You ... I don’t want to disturb you. With Mother here, are you still worried?"
"Of course not, she’s more experienced in this aspect than I am."
Hilla blushed and pursed her lips in embarrassment. She felt sorry because of Bruce’s words. Did she say anything bad? Should she apologize?
Noticing that she was in a dilemma, Bruce pulled her into his arms and pressed his forehead against hers. "I want to do something ’daily’ when no one is here..."
