My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 186

There was a baby in Lea's belly now.

And she would soon become a mother.

Her life had really changed dramatically. Thinking about it made her wanted to cry.

She sat on the edge of the bed, still trying to digest the fact in front of her. After a long moment, she fell asleep because of exhaustion.

The room fell silent. Henry, who had been waiting outside for long time, became more restless. He suddenly walked towards the door and knocked. Unfortunately, he didn't get any response from the inside.

He paused and thought for a moment, then opened the door decisively.

It was already dusk so it was getting dark outside. The curtains in the room were closed.

Only the pale light from the lampshade was giving brightness to the entire room. He looked around but he couldn't see her. His heart suddenly tightened.

He calmed himself down and walked a few steps forward. When his eyes landed on the bed, he saw a bulging figure curled up there.

Seeing her sleeping, Henry heaved a sigh of relief. He slowly walked towards her, very careful not to create even just a slight noise.

He carefully sat on the edge of the bed and

looked at her. She was sleeping soundly, maybe she got really tired earlier.

His eyes caught sight of the ultrasound result beside her. He couldn't help picking it up and looking at it again. The baby was still as small as a pea but it had already affected Lea's emotions a lot.

A happy smile appeared on Henry's face. He suddenly felt elated while still staring at the result.

He imagined a chubby but cute little boy in his arms, calling him "Daddy."

When he looked at the woman lying quietly on the bed again, his eyes softened. He reached out his hand and caressed her soft face.

Then his hand moved down to her belly. It stayed there for a few minutes but he wasn't able to feel anything.

Perhaps it was too early to feel the baby's movements inside. Nevertheless, Henry's heart was still filled with joy.

Jack and Rachel were out fishing. Not too far from them, some people were gathered. They were all looking enviously at a man who was able to hook a big fish again.

The man seemed to be enjoying the attention he was getting from the crowd. He leisurely rolled his fishing rod and pulled the fish from the hook.

The water splashed when he dropped the fish in the bucket beside him. It swam in a hurry as if trying to escape but eventually stopped moving.

As soon as he put the fish in the bucket, the man attached another bait onto the hook and throw

it faraway into the water.

People around him asked for some fishing tips. Since there were so many fishes everywhere in the water, they needed a good strategy to catch them.

However, they hadn't realized that the most important thing was the bait. These people didn't know that the man had prepared some good bait to hook fishes successively.

The man just smiled but didn't answer to their queries. He would never tell others about his secret.

Rachel turned to look at their fishing rods. They had thrown them for quite a while now, but nothing had happened.

Although she knew that fishing required so much patience, she still couldn't help asking him out of curiosity. She approached him in a low voice and asked, "Will our bait have been eaten up now?"

Jack smiled at her and replied in a low voice too, "Don't worry, they will soon take our bait."

Ten minutes later, the fish line suddenly trembled.

The bell hanging on the rod rang. Rachel got a little excited. She subconsciously straightened her back and looked around.

Jack stood up and shook the fish line, his eyes fixed on the water.

When people heard the sound of the bell, the quickly rushed to the couple to take a look.

They began to murmur to each other about what they might have caught.

Jack didn't mind the noisy crowd surrounding them. He still looked calm.

Rachel was also looking forward to their catch. She had been waiting for a long time so she was hoping that they would catch a big one.

Since she didn't have experience in fishing, all she could do was wait.

Finally, the fish came to the surface of the water. It swayed its tail as it rose into the air.

It was struggling hard to escape but to no avail.

The fish was medium size.

When the crowd saw it, the quickly went away.

Jack dropped the fish into the bucket and it swam around in a fluster.

He put another bait onto the hook and said, "Our catch is just big enough to make a fish soup."

The fish kept swimming around in the bucket, trying to escape.
