Time went by.
From summer to autumn and from autumn to winter, the seasons and the climates changed.
Nine months passed quickly since Grace had left.
Charlie never found out anything about Grace. Bella was so good at her job that she was promoted from secretary to department manager.
In the past nine months, Bella could see that Charlie never had any women around him, except her.
She was the one Charlie took to dinner parties when he had to.
They were still some distance apart, but she was satisfied. She had the best chance of winning than any other woman, didn't she?
At the hotel in the UK, Grace wore a long dress and flat shoes with a baby in her arms.
The boy was her son, and it was his one-month birthday party today.
When she was nine months pregnant, it took her a whole day in the delivery room to give birth to the baby by natural labour.
At that time, she was in so much pain in the delivery room that she could hardly feel anything. Andrew waited outside the delivery room for a whole day. He tried to break into the delivery room several times, but Grace shouted at him and forced him to go out.
She was in excruciating pain giving birth in the delivery room. Outside, it wasn't easier for Andrew than for her. He grabbed the doctor and asked if it was painful for her to give birth.
Through the crack in the door, Grace could hear him clearly. She shouted angrily, struggling through the pain that almost made her faint, "I'm screaming in pain. Are you deaf?"
Andrew was out of his mind at that time. Hearing her scream, he kept asking her whether she was in pain, whether she could speak, and whether she wanted anything to eat.
