Mia sat at the foot of the bed. “Wherever you go, that’s where my ‘home’ is.”
A smile appeared at the corner of Andre’s mouth. “So, you’re willing to follow me?”
“Who else would I follow except you? We are husband and wife. Naturally, I will follow you.” As soon as Mia finished speaking, she sighed. “We should actually consider moving. There are no problems now. However, if we really live with them together for ten or so years, disagreements are bound to happen over domestic trifles.
“Besides, Leo is 21 this year, so in a few years, he’ll be getting married and having kids. Being the eldest grandson, he will definitely settle down here. If we all live here, that won’t be a good arrangement.
“Anyway, we have our own little place at Maplewood Estates. It’s spacious, and the environment is great. It will be less lively with just the three of us there, but it will be cozy.”
Andre looked at his sharp-minded little wife. She looked silly, but could think of everything in her mind.
What she said was also what he thought.
“Home is certainly good. If you want to hang out with dad in the future, we can bring him over to Maplewood Estates.” Andre said.
Mia nodded. “Exactly. Moreover, if we live at Maplewood Estates, my mom can come to take care of me. Naomi, after all, is not my mom. Even though we are very close, it’s not as comfortable as having my own mom around.”
If they were to stay in the old house, it wouldn’t be convenient for Madison to come over.
Speaking of parents, coincidentally, Aaron called Andre.
Andre picked up. “Hello, Aaron?”
Mia leaned over. Her ear was against the back screen of the phone. She was eavesdropping.
Andre chuckled. This little girl started to be naughty again. He put the phone on speaker. “Go ahead.”
Aaron called to check on his daughter’s health. He asked, “How’s Mia’s health? Is she due for a prenatal checkup this week?”
Mia quickly grabbed the phone. It turned out that dad was looking for her. She replied, “I’m fine, dad. They feed me every day at home. My dad feeds me. Naomi feeds me. My husband feeds me. Today Leo came back and said my belly is so big, I about to give birth.” Mia happily shared her life. “Dad, are you with mom?”
“We’re together.”
The voice of Madison came from the other end of the phone, “Don’t just eat and not exercise. Take more walks. You are at home waiting for the baby, so you have a lot of free time. Don’t waste it.”
“Okay.”
Andre whispered to his wife, “I’ll take you to see your parents this week.”
Mia quickly said to her parents, “Mom, dad, after my checkup this week, I’ll come home to see you.”
“What do you want to eat? Your mom will prepare in advance.”
Mia pursed her lips. She really had to think about this.
They chatted on the phone for a while. Then Andre took his wife to the bathroom.
Andre’s concern was always unspoken. He feared that the floor would be slippery and his wife would slip during her shower. Right now, the bathroom floor was filled with bath mats.
Mia didn’t notice. After she got pregnant, she would always shower first, and then Andre would take his shower, because he would clean the bathroom after his shower, not letting her do anything.
By the time Mia used it again, there wasn’t even a hair on the floor.
Every time Mia made a small discovery, she would pout her face upwards, and then Andre would very cooperatively lean over to kiss her.
