"Hiding something from you?" Charlie frowned.
"Yes..." Wendy nodded and continued in a contemplative tone, "But that's just my guess..."
Because she was actually very uncertain. It was really just a simple feeling.
"Get over it." Charlie shook her hand to warn her, afraid she was thinking too much.
Wendy gave him a gentle smile.
The signal light ahead turned green, and the white Land Rover drove again. But after driving for a while, it turned back and stopped on the side of the road.
Seeing this, Wendy doubted, "Why did you stop?"
Charlie had already unfastened his seat belt and unbuckled the car keys. He pointed at a shop on the side of the road with the keys in his hand and said, "Let's buy something for our daughter."
Following the direction of his finger, Wendy turned her head and looked over. She saw a maternity shop with a light yellow sign. There were a lot of Supplies for infants and toddlers in the cabinet window. They were very lovely, which made people soft involuntarily.
Wendy lowered her head and looked at her flat lower abdomen, and then she was stunned.
With the baby still months away, was it too early to shop?
Before she could react, Charlie had already opened the car door for her and led her into the store.
The shop assistants were waiting there early. When Charlie and Wendy approached, they opened the glass door and greeted them with a smile, "May I help you, Sir and Madam, or is there anything I can do for you?"
This sort of address was enough to make one's heart tremble a little.
"Buy something for our baby," Charlie answered.
"How old is the baby? A boy or a girl?" The clerk continued to ask with a smile.
Wendy subconsciously raised her hand and touched her lower abdomen. "Um, the baby hasn't been born yet! I don't know the gender yet..."
"It's a girl!" A quiet male voice overtook her.
"..." Wendy felt helpless.
Sometimes, she really didn't know where Charlie's belief came from.
The clerk made a gesture and said to them enthusiastically, "Please come with me. This area belongs to the girls. I can introduce to you, the newborn baby needs a lot of things actually!"
In the beginning, it was just a small basket that they took. Before the shelves were finished, they changed into the shopping cart.
It was not the expectant mother, Wendy, who was dealing with the clerk at all, but the expectant father. Charlie was just like she and Aunt Lee were at the supermarket. He just picks things up and puts them in the carts. She couldn't stop him at all.
As long as he could see, no matter the food, toys or clothes, he put them all into the shopping cart without thinking. There were even many the same products just in pink and yellow. Wendy was still following him and took out the repeat items and put them back on the shelf.
After more than ten minutes, the shopping cart was almost full.
Wendy glanced at it. There were almost all kinds of stuffs that were needed from birth to one year old. Charlie even had to buy a toddlers' walkers. She quickly stopped him, "Charlie, this is not necessary for now. We can buy it until the baby is born. Besides, Larry has all these things. The baby can just use her brother's. We don't need to buy so many!"
"No way! It has to be new!" Charlie frowned disapprovingly.
"But we don't have to buy so many. There are no room for them!" In fact, Wendy knew that she had ordered a lot of things for the baby on the Internet before. Now Charlie bought so many things. She suspected that she was pregnant with several babys.
"It's all right." Charlie raised his eyebrows and said, "I've already asked Aunt Lee to clean up a storage room specially for these things!"
"..." Wendy choked on her words.
She couldn't help but hold her forehead. She wanted to scold him for being a spendthrift!
