Chapter 499 Why Are You So Nosy
Josephine received many gifts one after another, from Andrew, from Nicole, and after Gerald found out, he also prepared a gift.
However, when asked by family members, he never revealed who gave him the scarf.
But Ulysses honestly returned the scarf.
The next day, Josephine went to the hospital for an ultrasound and confirmed her pregnancy. She then shared the good news with Laura and Claudia.
It turned out that all three of them were due this year, but Josephine's due date was at the end of the year.
Laura was overjoyed. "Now the three kids will truly grow up together as playmates!"
Josephine said, "Yeah, I didn't expect to get pregnant now."
"It's a pity there are three of us. If there were only two, we could arrange a marriage!" Laura had mentioned this to Claudia before.
Claudia took it seriously.
She asked Laura earnestly, "What if the kids don't want to get married in the future?"
Laura thought Claudia could be a bit naive sometimes.
Hearing her question, Laura couldn't stop laughing.
The so-called arranged marriage was just a verbal agreement between the two families.
Because they were close, they wanted to be even closer.
As for whether the kids would end up together in the future, no one could guarantee that.
It would be great if they did.
But if they weren't compatible, there was nothing they could do.
Now that Laura brought it up again, Josephine said, "Let's not do that. Let them be normal friends. Otherwise, if there are two boys and one girl, or two girls and one boy, would they have to compete?"
The group laughed heartily.
Getting married in the same year and having children in the same year was truly meaningful for them.
Since Claudia and Laura had both experienced pregnancy symptoms, they were most concerned about whether Josephine would feel uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Josephine hadn't had any reactions yet.
Except for feeling sleepy.
Ever since she got pregnant, she really loved to sleep.
It seemed like she could fall asleep anytime, anywhere.
Other than that, she had no other reactions.
This made Stuart quite happy.
However, every morning now, as soon as Josephine opened her eyes, Stuart would nervously ask, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"
In fact, on the night he found out Josephine was pregnant, Stuart couldn't sleep for a long time.
When Josephine opened her eyes, she saw him staring at her in the dim light.
"What are you looking at?" Josephine, feeling very sleepy, yawned. "Go to sleep."
"Honey, I'm so happy." Stuart hugged her, "And also scared."
She could understand why he was happy, but why scared?
What did he mean?
Josephine rubbed against his chest. "Scared of what?"
"A few days ago..." Stuart felt a bit embarrassed, "I was so rough with you."
He was referring to their time in sex.
Their married life had always been harmonious.
Josephine had told him more than once to be moderate, but sometimes, when the mood struck, it wasn't just Stuart who couldn't control himself.
Anyway, they both enjoyed it.
Just three days ago, they had been at it for a long time.
"Fortunately, the baby is fine." Stuart said, "If you felt any discomfort, I would hate myself."
"Well, we didn't know." Josephine comforted him, "The baby is fine, you don't need to worry."
"That's great." Stuart, too excited to sleep, said, "Whether it's a daughter or a son, I will love them."
The last time Josephine was pregnant, he wasn't around.
In the five years since, Jeffery was now over four years old. He hadn't taken care of Josephine during her pregnancy, nor had he been involved in Jeffery's growth.
This time, he wouldn't let himself have any regrets.
However, while he had no regrets, Josephine felt she was about to lose it.
Stuart was considerate and warm-hearted.
But being too considerate could be a bit of a burden.
He asked repeatedly if Josephine was feeling uncomfortable, and watched her constantly.
Right, now, Stuart didn't even go to the office, staying home to take care of Josephine.
From morning till night, except for sleeping, Stuart was basically watching Josephine's every word and action.
Josephine endured it for two or three days, but she couldn't take it anymore.
She told Stuart, "I'm just pregnant, you don't need to be so nervous."
Stuart was looking at a nutrition guide, planning dinner: "I'm not nervous."
Josephine tried another approach: "Then you don't need to care for me so much. I'm just like a normal person."
Stuart disagreed: "How can you be the same? You're pregnant now, you have a baby in your belly, you're two people now."
"I know my own body." Josephine said, "If I feel uncomfortable, I'll tell you, okay? Don't treat me like a patient."
"I'm not treating you like a patient." Stuart said, "I'm just worried. Look at Claudia and Laura, they were so uncomfortable back then."
"Everyone's body is different. When I was pregnant with Jeffery, I didn't feel too uncomfortable."
"Are you hiding any discomfort from us?" Stuart said, "I think you might do that, so I have to watch you."
Josephine couldn't help but laugh: "If I feel uncomfortable, I'll definitely say it. What would I hide?"
"Alright." Stuart hugged her, "You don't need to think about anything now. My job is to take care of you."
"It's too hard."
"It's not hard." Stuart said, "I enjoy it."
Stuart really enjoyed taking care of her.
Josephine had no choice but to let him be.
Because she knew he had a knot in his heart.
He wasn't there for her last pregnancy.
This time, he wanted to make up for what he owed her.
Gerald came back two days early because of Josephine's pregnancy.
Originally, they had two days at the end of their trip to explore the local attractions after work.
Gerald came back first.
Seeing with his own eyes that Josephine wasn't suffering from pregnancy, he was relieved.
He also gave Josephine the gift he had prepared.
After saying all this, Josephine looked around to make sure no one was around and quietly asked him, "Gerald, tell me, who gave you that scarf?"
Gerald felt a bit uneasy and took a sip of water. "Since when did you become so nosy?"
"I'm not nosy." Josephine said, "You know I'm close with Kathy. If you have a girlfriend, or if you like someone, I should tell Kathy so she doesn't wait for you foolishly."
Gerald didn't say anything.
Josephine said, "If you don't say anything, I'll take it as a yes."
Gerald glanced at her: "Just take care of yourself. Why do you have to meddle in other people's business?"
"You're not other people, you're my brother. And Kathy is my friend."
