The baby had to be hungry.
Therefore, Kimberly would be hungry as well. She was surprised when she saw herself in a strange environment when she woke up. It took her a while to remember what she had done today. She rubbed her eyes and got up. No one could be seen in the house.
"Vera?"
No one responded. "Is Vera not back yet?" She thought. She was about to take out her mobile phone to give Vera a phone call.
The door of the kitchen was pushed open at this moment. Vera came out with two dishes on her hands.
"You've finally woken up! Wash your hands now and get ready for dinner."
Kimberly was stunned. "Have you finished preparing dinner? When did you come back?"
"I've been back for a while. I didn't wake you up because you were sleeping so soundly," Vera said with a smile. Then, she put the dishes on the table and said, "Go and wash your hands now and prepare the cutlery. I've finished preparing dinner, so you'll have to wash the bowls later."
Kimberly was stunned at first. Then, she came back to her senses after hearing what Vera said. She smiled and got up, saying, "Sure, no problem." She went to the kitchen to take the cutlery. Then, she sat down and enjoyed dinner with Vera.
This was the first time Kimberly could experience dishes prepared by Vera. Her culinary skills were not bad. Vera said while eating, "I prepared several dishes for you. How is it? My cooking skills are great, aren't they?"
"Yeah."
Both of them enjoyed the meal without saying anything. Seeing that Kimberly had almost finished eating, Vera asked, "You said that you have something to tell me. What is it about? Did you quarrel with Maddox again?"
Hearing this, Kimberly paused for a moment before looking at Vera.
All of a sudden, she put down the cutlery in her hands and stared at Vera.
Vera kept on eating. She felt that she was right to not ask Kimberly about this before dinner. Otherwise, Kimberly wouldn't enjoy her dinner anymore.
"Apart from you, I don't have anyone else to talk to. Vera, I want to ask for your opinion."
After eating, Vera picked up a bowl of soup and took a sip of it. "Go ahead."
It was very uncomfortable for Kimberly to keep everything within herself. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Do you always think that I can live a good life with Maddox?"
Hearing this, Vera nodded naturally, saying, "That's for sure. He's your husband. Also, you like him, and he likes you too. What else do you want to do if you don't want to have a good life with him?"
"What if I said that I'm pregnant?"
Vera was stunned for a moment. Then, she came back to her senses and said, "Is there any problem with pregnancy? Isn't this better? Your status as his wife would be stabilized after giving birth to his child. Let's see how Sylvia is going to grab him away from you."
Speaking of this, Kimberly suddenly felt a little sad. She lowered her head and said in a self-deprecating tone.
"What if I tell you that Maddox is not the biological father of the child?"
"Well, it's fine if he is not..." Vera replied casually. All of a sudden, she stopped talking. She looked at Kimberly in disbelief.
She swallowed the food in her mouth after a long time. Then, she looked at Kimberly awkwardly, saying, "Sorry, the food was stuck in my throat just now. Can you repeat what you said again?"
