“You were wrong!” Olivia threw a glare at her and snapped.
“Yes, yes. It’s all my fault. Now can you please forgive me, your majesty?” Lily comforted her by dragging her to the chair.
“You’re the royalty!” Olivia immediately stood up and gave up her seat to Lily. “No, that’s not right either. The baby in your tummy is the real royalty!”
Lily was still taken aback by surprise when Olivia gently nudged her to sit on the chair and placed her ear over Lily’s tummy.
Lily sat stiffly and asked, “What are you doing?”
“I’m trying to hear if His Majesty is awake,” Olivia replied seriously.
“Please! The baby’s only two months old. How could it even move when it has no hands or legs? It’s still a fetus!” Lily explained in bewilderment.
“Nonsense! It’s getting bigger, and although it’s not fully grown, I can hear its heartbeat. I’m serious!” Olivia was so serious that it made Lily laugh.
After leaning against Lily’s tummy for a while, she finally moved away from Lily with her eyes glimmering.
“So, did you manage to hear the baby?” Lily asked jokingly.
“Of course I did. It was magical!” Olivia nodded.
Lily could only smile in silence. She said jokingly, “If you love kids so much, why don’t you have one with Edward?”
“Stop teasing me!” Olivia mumbled, “That piece of lumber wouldn’t understand.”
