Bruce's heart skipped a beat. He looked at Joanna gloomily. Then he said, "Honey, I've told you before. I'll retire when I'm 35 years old. Don't worry. I'll definitely leave the organization.
"From now on, I won't let you worry about me anymore."
"Alright. You have to keep your word this time," Joanna said.
"Don't worry. I swear to God.
"If I go back on my word again, let me..."
When Joanna heard this, she quickly covered his mouth with her hand. "Alright. Don't swear so easily.
"What if God takes it seriously?"
"Haha. You're becoming more and more superstitious," Bruce replied.
After hearing that, Joanna looked at him angrily.
Then Bruce said, "Alright. Honey, let's just live our lives in the future and not cause trouble anymore, okay?
"Let's go. Let's hurry into the house. The sun is too bright."
"Well. Alright," Joanna replied.
Joanna was about to enter the house when she suddenly felt a pain in her belly. Her belly was throbbing.
"Ouch!" Joanna subconsciously held onto her belly with a pained expression.
Seeing this, Bruce was even more frightened. "Joann, what's wrong?"
"This baby is too active, kicking me all day long. Ouch. I can't take it anymore. Let me lie down for a bit."
"Go ahead. Sit down first." Bruce helped her sit down on the sofa at the side.
Joanna leaned against the sofa and gently touched her belly.
Her belly was clearly throbbing. It felt like there was a lively kitten inside.
"Let me listen to the baby's movements." Bruce rested his head on Joanna's belly and felt the baby's tiny feet kicking against him with determination.
"Oh, it hurts so much. It's only been five months. Why is the fetal movement so strong?" Joanna didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
She had already been pregnant three times, but this little baby seemed to have an unprecedented level of energy. Exceptionally vibrant, even at just five months, the baby was already moving quite vigorously.
"Baby, be good in there. No more kicking your mommy. Otherwise, when you come out, I will give you a spanking," Bruce said.
Joanna sighed and said, "I'm really afraid that when the time comes, we'll have a little troublemaker on our hands."
"Haha. Our child will surely be the most outstanding and remarkable.
"After all, I am so outstanding. So my kids won't be any less." Bruce was smug and boasted.
When Joanna heard this, she was a little speechless. "Bruce, please don't be so narcissistic."
"I'm not narcissistic. I'm telling the truth."
As he spoke, Bruce felt dizzy and subconsciously held his head. "Uh. Ouch..."
Seeing this, Joanna panicked and asked with concern, "What happened to you?"
"Oh. I'm fine. My head hurts a little." Bruce's entire head hurt badly.
