Boss, Your Wife is Asking for A Divorce, Again!

Chapter 1444 Gradual Acceptance

Julia and Mary exchanged a glance before bursting into laughter. Sonia cocked her head, perplexed as to what was so amusing.

Then, Mary explained, "Young Mistress Sonia, it's normal to not show any changes. Every woman's body is different, so their pregnancy can vary. Some women notice visible changes in their bellies after two or three months, while others may not notice much difference until four or five months. You are most likely one of the latter."

Julia nodded in agreement. "That's right. When I was pregnant with you, it was the same. Even at five or six months, my belly looked like someone else who was only three months pregnant. My belly looked like someone else's at five or six months only when I was close to full term. I didn't show much." Surprisingly, this trait was passed down to her daughter, which made her happy and excited.

Now, I understand. After listening to their explanation, Sonia nodded in realization. "I thought everyone was the same, so when I didn't see much change in my belly, I was worried that something might be wrong with the baby."

Mary approached Sonia and gently patted her head, saying, "Don't worry, Young Mistress Sonia. This is a hospital, and you have regular check-ups with the doctors and nurses. If there were any problems, they would have told you."

Sonia pressed her lips together. "I guess I was overthinking it."

"From now on, don't overthink, and don't worry," Mary smiled.

Julia also nodded, supporting Mary's words.

Sonia looked at Julia for a moment before shifting her gaze uncomfortably. "So, when I'm ready to give birth, my belly won't be too big either?" She touched her belly. "Does that mean the baby will be tiny when born?" If my baby is tiny, will his or her body be frail? What are the chances of its survival? She was worried thinking about it.

Although Mary knew how to care for pregnant women, she had never had a child, so she looked to Julia for help. Julia sat down and replied, "Compared to normal babies, they might be a little smaller, but as long as they are born at full term, there won't be any problems with their health. So, care for them; they'll catch up to normal-sized babies soon enough. Sonny, don't worry. When you were born, you were small and red all over, and your father and I thought you wouldn't be able to survive well, but the doctors told me not to worry and to treat you like a normal-sized baby. Small babies develop quickly as long as they receive adequate nutrition. After one month, you were no different from a normal-sized baby." She spoke seriously, her eyes filled with confidence.

Sonia knew her mother wouldn't lie, and she finally nodded slowly. "I understand. Thank you—"

Julia happily waved her hand, saying there was no need to thank her. Then, she said excitedly, "Sonny, if you have any questions in the future, you can ask me. I'll tell you everything."

Sonia pressed her lips together again without a response.

Julia's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she quickly comforted herself. It's okay; my daughter isn't used to it yet. She would gradually accept me in the future.

"What are you talking about?" At that moment, the door to the hospital room opened, and Toby walked in wearing a suit and carrying a bag. When he saw Julia, he wasn't surprised at all, and he gave a friendly nod to her as a greeting. Furthermore, he was aware that she would be visiting her daughter.

Julia was flattered and relieved by his initiative in greeting her. Sonia previously permitted her to come up, but Julia did not stay as long as she did that day, so she did not see him. Since Julia thought he wouldn't expect her, she braced for an immediate request to leave upon their brief encounter. Instead, he greeted her, indicating that he also favored her visiting Sonia. Then, she gazed at Sonia with maternal affection in her eyes.

Suddenly, Sonia noticed that, and her heart trembled. So, she quickly lowered her head to avoid Julia's eye. She didn't dare to look too much, as she was afraid that if she looked too long, she would be immersed in Julia's gaze and unable to extricate herself. Moreover, she knew how fascinating maternal love could be.

"Young Master Toby, you're back." Mary was the only one who didn't have a change in mood. When she saw Toby return, she happily brought a chair for him.

However, he didn't sit on the chair but came to the bedside, pulled Sonia into his arms, and kissed her face. Although she was used to his hugs and kisses every time he came back, it was always in the absence of others. Now Mary and Julia were here too. So, Sonia blushed and pushed the man away, shyly saying, "What are you doing? People are watching."

"We're a married couple, so let them watch." He didn't care. Besides, he didn't do anything else.

Mary covered her mouth and laughed happily. Julia also looked at the two of them with gratification. It was great that her daughter could meet a man who loved her.
