I spent the whole day in a daze, and when I woke up it was already dusk. I could vaguely hear Ethan's voice on the phone in the living room downstairs, and I was surrounded by fatigue and hunger.
I walked into the living room with heavy steps, and unexpectedly found Vivian lying on the sofa in my house. Ethan was holding the phone in one hand and massaging her feet with the other.
"Oh? Awake?" Vivian looked at me provocatively, with a smug look on her face.
Ethan paused while holding the phone, glanced at me, and just as he was about to stand up, Vivian pushed him back with her foot.
"Luna , you are only in the early stage of pregnancy, but I am already in the second stage." She straightened her slightly bulging belly, "We are both pregnant mothers, why don't you take care of me a little bit?"
"I asked you to make dumplings but you refused. If Ethan hadn't searched all over the city for restaurants, I might not even be able to have a bite!" Vivian's words were full of reproach, and she didn't forget to show off Ethan's love for her.
I've gotten used to this. She'd always compete with me on everything.
When I wanted to go on a trip, she'd always be the first to call Ethan away . Every time I asked Ethan , he'd always say he'd already made an appointment with Vivian , without exception. Even when she got pregnant, she got pregnant earlier than me, and after she got pregnant, she used Ethan unscrupulously .
"Yeah, it's fine." I nodded gently, and my tone was so calm that both of them were stunned.
In the past, a situation like this would have started with a big fight between Vivian and me and ended with Ethan scolding me because of her.
Ethan frowned and continued, "The kitchen left a meal for you. It was made by Vivian herself. Although she has a sharp tongue, she is always kind-hearted. I don't want you to misunderstand her."
I said nothing and went straight to the kitchen.
He said I misunderstood Vivian ? No, I just know scumbags like her too well.
Sure enough, as soon as I entered, I smelled a strong hawthorn aroma. There was a bowl of hawthorn cake on the table, and several dishes next to it also used hawthorn as an ingredient. But eating hawthorn in early pregnancy may cause uterine contractions and lead to miscarriage. As a pregnant woman, how could she not know this?
At this moment, I didn’t feel angry, I just wondered why I was so stupid to be angry with such a scumbag for so long?
I worked in the kitchen for a long time and finally made a meal that could fill my stomach.
" What are you doing in there? Those dishes are ready-made, just heat them up. You don't expect me or Vivian to heat them up for you, do you?" Ethan walked in impatiently.
Seeing that I was cooking by myself, he suddenly pulled me over and asked, "What's wrong with you?" He stared at me with a gloomy face.
"Just because I didn't eat the meal she so-called made myself, I'm crazy?" I just thought he was ridiculous.
Ethan laughed in anger, pointing his finger at me: "You didn't give Vivian her favorite dumplings, and she didn't blame you. She even prepared such a sumptuous dinner for you. Are you still being picky now?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?" I nodded innocently and stared at him. Ethan 's face became uglier.
Just when he was about to say something else, Vivian appeared at the door again.
"Oh, stop arguing, Ethan. I forgot that you can't eat too much hawthorn during early pregnancy. It will cause miscarriage." There was no apology in her words, and the same was true in her expression.
"What did you say?" Ethan was stunned.
"Heh." I couldn't help but laugh. Vivian must have thought that I would have a big fight with Ethan because of the hawthorn, so she pretended to be a nice person to explain it?
"Oh, I forgot. My memory gets worse when I'm pregnant." Vivian twisted her waist and stamped her feet. Ethan's eyes softened immediately and he stepped forward and whispered to her that she must not get angry.
I shook my head and walked out with my bowl of rice. When I passed by them, I couldn't help but sigh: "What a happy couple."
