"Mom, we've already taken it." I tried to shake off some inappropriate images from my head to avoid blushing unintentionally.
Faith seemed skeptical, "Really?"
So, I detailed the whole process of getting the medicine, changing it, and taking it, every word truthful, to reassure her.
However, I didn't tell her about the intimate acts between Neil and me.
"That's good, just keep it up for a while, you will definitely give birth to a healthy baby." Faith showed a smile, and suddenly added, "It would be even better if it's a girl."
Sometimes I really found Faith likable. She was considerate of others' feelings, afraid of hurting mine.
It was weird, after rebirth, I found Bonnie really beautiful, Faith really cute, even Russel, the cold man, I discovered his warm side, and Neil, he'd changed a lot too.
If this continued, will things get out of control?
"Irene, don't stress yourself, let nature take its course with the baby. We sometimes can't help but mention wanting grandchildren, don't take it to heart." Seeing me in a daze, Faith thought I was worried about the whole baby thing.
I shook my head repeatedly, "Mom, I'm not worrying about it, of course, I hope to have a baby soon too."
Actually, that was not the case, I absolutely can't have a child with Neil, otherwise, I might continue this hopeless marriage for it. A child with a father who had another woman in his heart won't be happy.
After I divorce Neil, Bonnie will help me fulfill Ryan and Faith's wish, so there was no rush.
After chatting for a while, we went downstairs, Neil was back in the living room, amusing his nephew. He lifted the toddler onto his shoulders, holding onto his little hands making flying gestures, running back and forth; the child's laughter was adorable.
I was a bit dazed, as if I could see what Neil would look like as a father. He seemed to enjoy being around children and would probably be a good dad. But, he was not going to be the father of my child.
"Let's go shopping." Faith pulled me and a few other women to go shopping.
As for the little nephew, he was left to the men at home.
I volunteered to drive, with Faith in the passenger seat and the others in the back, but there was one seat short, so an aunt followed in her own car.
Five women headed out together, Faith chatted with the others along the way, suddenly she seemed to find something, so she bent down to pick it up from under the seat. I took a glance, it was an earring. It was delicate, but you could tell it wasn't expensive.
Faith looked at the earring and then at my ears, I was wearing diamond studs today, worth around $13,000, completely different in texture from that earring.
She said nothing but put the earring into her bag. This was Neil's car, and she knew what was going on.
Faith was not particularly fond of foreign luxury brands; she preferred high-end domestic brands, as their designs suited her taste. The aunts were also around her age, preferring mature styles, so I accompanied them to some domestic brand stores.
I sat on the couch, sipping coffee while watching the models. Though they were younger than Faith, their figures were similar, they wore dignified and elegant clothes for Faith and the aunts to choose from.
"Please bring me that coat." Suddenly, Faith spotted a snow-white coat. The collar was also white fox fur, and it looked very warm. The buttons were gemstone round buttons, with an elastic waist, it looked both elegant and grand.
I thought Faith was buying it for herself, but she made me try it on after she got it, "You'll look great in it."
