However, after a few moments, she smiled, and stroked her belly gently. 'What a peevish little one. I don't even know if you're a boy or girl that you can bother daddy and mommy so much. How I wish you would quickly arrive."
The shower in the bathroom continued to flow, and Sherman peeped in that direction. However, her drowsiness kicked in and she couldn't resist. Hence, she closed her eyes and fell asleep...
The next morning.
When Sherman woke up, he was not beside her, neither could he be found in the apartment. It could only mean that he had gone to work.
While the housekeeper was busy tidying the house, Sherman went into the study because she was free. She switched on the computer and browsed a gourmet website.
The site hosted a large variety of delicacies complete with very comprehensive recipes. She selected a few that were of her liking and read the instructions.
Life during her pregnancy was too mundane and idle. She couldn't do many things. Therefore, to spend her time, she had to look for activities that were suitable.
And now, she found delight in cooking. Not only could she learn it online, the housekeeper and Summer could also teach her.
After breakfast, Sherman stayed at home and asked the housekeeper to teach her how to prepare some household dishes.
The housekeeper tasted the coleslaw prepared by Sherman. "You're impressive, and I think you're a very talented cook."
Sherman brimmed that her eyes formed a crescent shape. "I can't take the compliment. It's making me blush."
The housekeeper smiled as she continued her work," I’m simply telling the truth."
Her phone rang. Sherman looked at the caller's number; it was her father. She was very certain he was going to ask for money; hence, she didn't answer the call.
'If I had my own income or savings, I wouldn’t mind buying them a house. But now I’m not able to. It’s been a long time since I last worked!'
