After ending the call, Steven turned his gaze toward Mona, who was typing away at the computer.
Hearing the call end, Mona finished typing the last line before turning to look at Steven.
"I can tell you've been troubled these past couple of days. It's about that, isn't it?"
Couples often had a way of sensing each other's moods. They could pick up on changes in the other person long before anyone else could.
"Yes," Steven replied with a smile. He hadn't expected Mona to be so perceptive. Though he'd said nothing, she had already sensed something was amiss.
Perhaps it was because he had grown accustomed to hiding his feelings around others, but with her, he could be his true self. He didn't need to mask his emotions, and that openness had deepened their bond.
Mona walked over, took his hand, and placed it gently on her belly. "No matter what happens, I'll be here for you, and so will the baby. We're a family."
She had just found out she was pregnant a few days ago and hadn't told anyone yet. For now, this secret was shared only between the two of them.
Steven's eyes softened with affection. "You're right."
"If he comes back with an agenda, let him. He probably wants money or your help with something. But you're adults now—not kids from ten years ago. If he asks for something you're uncomfortable with, just say no," Mona said thoughtfully.
Steven nodded, agreeing with her. "You are a wise one. You see right through everything."
