Chapter 995: Chapter 512: Extra Story: His Kindness Touched Her (3)

"For you, I’ll try to change myself."

"Really?"

Skyler nodded.

"That’s more like it... Otherwise, with your personality, it’s really hard to get along with people."

"So I need you by my side, to guide me, so I can blend into this family."

"Don’t use these words to lure me... I’ve forgiven you, but you’re still in the probation period. Before I agree to have a wedding with you, you can’t touch me."

Skyler quickly nodded, "Okay, okay... The doctor said you’re twelve weeks pregnant, still in the early stages. You need to be particularly careful, stay happy, eat more, rest well. As long as you’re happy, I’ll do anything you want."

"I’m doing this for the sake of the baby too. You know I’m still trying to protect the baby, so I have to be extra cautious now..." Christine paused, looking into his eyes, "You just said as long as I’m happy, you’ll do anything I want. If I want you to say ’I love you’ a hundred times on TV right now, would you do it?"

Skyler found Christine’s idea adorable yet touching, "I would..."

With that, Skyler took out his phone and dialed his secretary Ernie’s number.

Christine couldn’t believe that Skyler’s arrogance would allow him to do such a thing...

But she was taken aback when his phone actually connected, and he said to the secretary on the other end, "Ernie, arrange a press conference for me..."

Christine, hearing this, snatched the phone from Skyler’s ear before he could finish, "Are you crazy? I was just joking with you."

Skyler, at this moment, tightly grasped Christine’s hand, somewhat forcefully, as if afraid to lose it, "Don’t say a hundred times, even a thousand, ten thousand times, as long as you’re willing, I’ll say it until you’re tired of hearing it."

Hearing him say this reminded her of their loving past, making her both sad and touched, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Don’t cry, pregnant women shouldn’t cry often, it affects the eyes..." Skyler wiped Christine’s tears, lifted her face, and gently kissed her, from her forehead to her eyes, all the way down to her lips.

Such a gentle, tender kiss immersed Christine in the moment of happiness...

As the kiss deepened, she reached out and wrapped her arms around his neck...

Because Christine’s body needed extra care, Mrs. Geoffrey requested that Skyler set the wedding after Christine gave birth to the child.

Christine didn’t really care. She and Skyler were already married; the wedding was just a formality. However, as a woman, she still yearned for the moment of walking into the church in a white dress, so she didn’t oppose having a wedding.

Skyler agreed with her mother’s decision, "Once you give birth, I’ll definitely give you an unforgettable wedding."

Christine smiled happily, "And then I want a honeymoon."

"Alright." Skyler smiled and touched Christine’s belly, "From now on, you call the shots in our home."

Thinking of how she became the boss overnight because of the child, Christine felt very proud. Feeling hungry, she instructed him to get her something to eat. When he brought the food, she suddenly mentioned wanting fruit instead. When he fetched the fruit, she said she only wanted a certain kind... Watching him busy around, she secretly smiled contentedly in her heart.

At five months pregnant, Skyler no longer went to the company.

The house doctor checked on her every day, worried that the baby might put stress on her body.

Skyler stayed at home every day to take care of her, even buying a pile of healthy diet books for pregnant women, making sure the home’s servants prepared delicious meals for her in various ways.

He would also accompany her for walks in the garden every day, sunbathing, looking at flowers, and ensuring she exercised moderately.

Just by this time of pregnancy, she became very sleepy, needing to sleep for more than ten hours every day. She felt having him sleep with her was a waste of time, so she frequently sent him off to the company.

He finally agreed to go to the company, but he never forgot to leave early every day to come back and be with her... Though when he returned, she was often still sleeping.

This afternoon, as usual, Skyler ended work early at the company and hurried home. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

He arrived home, ran to the second floor... and saw her lying on a rattan chair on the terrace of the second-floor garden, sunbathing, with a pregnancy book resting on her swollen belly.

He quietly approached, bending down to look at her; she was sleeping sweetly, like a child, even drooling, which made him chuckle.
