“If you feel unwell at any time, tell me, and I can call the doctor over. Or you can tell Gloria; she has the doctor’s number as well.”
At the mention of Gloria, Tamara’s expression became a little unnatural. Fitch had demanded that the whole family attend the check-up, but Gloria, already irritated by what she saw as Tamara’s smugness, had refused to come. So, of the Sherwoods, only Fitch and Milford had been present.
But dealing with Gloria was a long-term project. For now, her best course of action was to obediently follow Fitch’s arrangements.
Tamara nodded meekly. “I understand. I’ll be sure to take good care of myself.” She paused, then asked hesitantly, “About Milford…”
Fitch sighed. “Milford has a cold personality. Don’t take it to heart. Once the baby is born, he’ll understand.”
Tamara forced a smile. “Okay.”
But would he really? Would a man like Milford truly change his opinion of her just because of a child?
She looked down at the ultrasound photo, her gaze hardening with resolve. No matter what, this child would be her strongest protection.
Perhaps sensing how much Fitch valued the baby, Tamara was sitting in the living room the next day, waiting for him. She planned to talk to him about Gloria.
