After she finished the meal, she was so full that her stomach bulged a little.
By the time she was done, Nolan had almost finished eating as well. He looked at her and frowned. He
knew how much she could eat in the past.
How come she ate so much now?
"Get up. Let's go out for a walk," Nolan told Chloe.
"No, I don't want to move right now."
All she wanted after dinner was to go to sleep.
She wanted to go to bed full.
Nolan pressed his lips together and thought about what she had promised him to do tonight. But now,
she was pregnant. Although he did not have much common knowledge about pregnancy, he knew that
pregnant women were not allowed to do strenuous exercise.
Looking at Chloe, he felt depressed.
If it were not for Chloe's natural reaction to the news, he would have thought that she had already
known that she was pregnant and still promised him to make love.
Looking at Chloe who had now almost fallen asleep, Nolan walked over to her, scooped her up, and
headed for the bedroom.
As if Nolan's smell was soothing, Chloe felt safe in his arms and drifted off.
Looking at her reaction, Nolan put her on the bed and fetched some water to clean her face. Then, he
washed her feet for her and then covered her with the quilt. After that, he went to the bathroom for a
shower.
The next day, Chloe was still dazed when she woke up. She wondered how she fell asleep last night.
She vaguely remembered that she came home from Cynthia's house, and then Nolan came home and
made her an entire table of delicious food.
Then, she covered her mouth with her right hand and put her left hand on her belly.
She recalled what she had almost forgotten. It was not just a dream. She was already pregnant.
"Ah!"
Chloe joyfully rolled back and forth on the bed, her soft hair getting messed up all over.
Nolan opened the door with a bowl of millet porridge in his hand. What came into his view was Chloe
rolling on the bed.
He was speechless.
'What was going on? Is this a side effect of her pregnancy?'
When Chloe saw Nolan, she quickly stopped rolling on the bed. She sat up and looked at him dotingly.
"Honey, I'm really pregnant. Are you happy? Are you excited? We're going to have a baby," Chloe said
as if she still could not believe it.
"Of course I'm happy. It's going to be our child," Nolan replied.
"Have some breakfast," he added and walked over to Chloe.
"Okay."
Chloe sat up straight and let Nolan feed her.
As soon as she took a small mouthful of the porridge, she frowned.
"What is this? It's horrible and tasteless."
"I asked the doctor. He said that you're only allowed to eat light food in the morning."
"What?"
Chloe said with a bitter look on her face.
"Come on, just eat it."
After finishing her breakfast, she felt like weeping but no tears would come out.
She did not know that there would be many things she would have to deal with while she was pregnant.
Chloe was sitting quietly on the couch in the living room. Nolan was sitting opposite her.
After breakfast, Nolan told her that he had something important to tell her, and it was related to the
baby. Upon hearing this, Chloe sat quietly and listened to him attentively.
Looking at the obedient look on her face, Nolan's heart was filled with tenderness.
Last night, after Chloe fell asleep, he did a lot of research online. Today, he had his assistant bring a lot
of material about pregnancy and about what pregnant women could and could not do.
A couple of books were already on the table.
He had only read a few of them this morning.
Nolan looked at Chloe and started slowly when she was almost running out of patience. "I did some
research online last night about pregnancy. You are pregnant now, so you can't use the computer or
your cellphone for more than one hour per day. The radiation from the computer or the cellphone is not
good for the baby."
'I can't play with my cellphone? And I can't use the computer? Then what am I supposed to do now?'
"What's more, you have to take a leave from work. You're pregnant. You have to be careful about
everything. I can't let you go to the office alone. You can go with me, but you can't go to the office
alone."
Aside from what he had read last night, Nolan had already learned some of the vital pregnancy
information since they had decided to have a baby. He now knew pretty much everything there was to
know about taking care of a pregnant woman.
"And I'm going to hire two nutritionists. There are a lot of things that you can't eat now that you're
pregnant. What if you eat something that's bad for the baby? You have to agree with me on this
matter."
As if he anticipated that Chloe would object, Nolan said it hastily.
"And..."
Chloe had listened to his long lecture.
"That's all for now. I'll tell you more when I learn something new. I'll keep an eye on you."
"Well? That's it?"
Chloe raised her head.
"Yes."
"Okay."
"No, it's not right," Chloe suddenly objected.
"What's wrong?"
"You mean I can't use the computer now? And when I do, I can't spend more than an hour on it?"
"Right."
Nolan nodded.
"What about my novel? I need to update it."
"Just stop writing it altogether."
"No way!
There are so many fans waiting for me to update everyday!"
"Then which one do you think is more important, your child or your novel?"
He looked at her and said casually.
As expected, Chloe immediately shut up.
Chloe touched her belly and thought of her baby. She finally compromised. "All right."
"Well, I have to go to work now. Call me if you need anything."
He kissed her on the cheek and left.
After Nolan left, Chloe went upstairs to turn on her computer. She planned to apologize to her fans.
Chloe turned on her computer and typed a long message. Then, she read it and posted it after she
found nothing wrong with it.
