My Wife is an Aloof Beauty

Duke became speechless when he heard her say so. Unfortunately, he couldn't scold her, let alone beat her. The only thing he could do was to talk her out of the idea of eating icy food by stressing her role as a future mother. But it seemed that he failed. Because he had underestimated how much a pregnant woman would crave certain kinds of food.

"Are you happy now?" Duke asked at an ice-cream parlor. In fact, he had called Tom to ask about this first. He only brought her here after he got Tom's confirmation. It had to be attributed to her good health. If it were Leena, it would be impossible for her to be allowed to eat ice cream during pregnancy.

"Yes, do you want to have one as well?" Belinda asked with a happy smile, as if what she was holding in her hand now was the most delicious food in the world.

"No, I don't. Stop pushing it to my face! You enjoy it yourself. But you can't eat too much, okay?" Duke frowned as he looked at the large bowl of shaved ice in her hand. He ordered for a small cup of the ice, but she insisted on a large one. So that was what she had now.

"Don't worry. I'll be okay. Didn't Tom say that I'm very healthy and occasionally eating icy food won't affect the baby?" Belinda was like a spoiled child who just got her sweet goodies. She had been smiling all the way back home and she looked more soft and gentle, a big contrast to the image of a strong business woman she used to be. Probably because of the increase of female hormone inside her body during pregnancy, she looked more tender as a loving expectant mother.

"You're only saying that because you want to eat ice water." Duke said helplessly. He loved her deeply after all. He had no choice but to let her have what she wanted.

"Duke, don't you agree? Time is an ingredient of magic and miracles! Who would think that we would fall in love one

happened. She seemed too lost in her thoughts that she didn't even feel any pain.

When the phone rang, she didn't plan to answer and just let it be. ·She wanted to leave the world behind her just for once. But the person who called seemed to be so persistent. The phone kept ringing and ringing, and she had no choice but to pick it up.

"Hi, Tom, what's going on?" Leena frowned at the prospect that he would urge her to send him the video recording of her drinking up all the herbal medicines. She hadn't gotten home, so she hadn't taken the medicine yet.

"Leena, come to the hospital! Patricia has woken up!" Leena almost dropped the phone. She couldn't believe what she just heard. But Tom's excited voice came through loud and clear. Leena could sense how happy he was!

"What? Patricia woke up? Are you sure? Okay, I will be there right away. Take care of her." Leena's gloomy face faded away. She beamed and turned around, running towards the direction in which her car was parked. She was very excited to hear such good news and couldn't wait to get to the hospital.

"Don't hurry too much and be careful on the way here," Tom added with concern, his eyes still fixed on Patricia who was staring at him with confusion.
