Crossroads

Chapter 185

At noon, the housekeeper specifically called Stephanie to dine at the main residence. She was somewhat reluctant, as aside from the mandatory. breakfast together at Wellington Villa, there weren’t other niles about having meals together, so it was somewhat unusual.

Hence, Stephanie figured they wanted her company.

“Stephanie, you’re really getting faner…”

Reluctantly heading towards the main house, Stephanie could hear Vincent’s casual teasing from afar, It had been over a month, but Vincent was still as cheeky as ever.

Stephanie frowned and shot him a glare.

Normally, she would have given him a piece of her mind, swiftly shutting down him. But now, she glanced down at her bloated body and couldn’t help but pinch her waist in frustration.

Where was her waist? She had gotten so far that her waist seemed to have disappeared.

Dominick naturally pulled her to sit beside him, accustomed to their banter. He didn’t pay much attention and knew Vincent’s arrival would liven things up a bit.

But now Stephanie sat there with a strained expression, genuinely unhappy and distressed

Women hated it most when others described them as fat, plump, or chubby, as those words would strike their hearts directly, especially when her own man was so outstandingly fit, and those other women outside were eyeing him like he was their prey.

Stephanie scooted away a bit, distancing herself from Dominick

Many celebrities and models had been reluctant to have children when they were young because they were afraid of what it would do to their figures. Honestly, for women who loved beauty, having kids demanded quite a bit of sacrifice.

Seeing her act so petulantly, Dominick couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

“This is just perfect.”

His large hand gently smoothed the hair at the mape of her neck, the cool tips of his fingers brushing her skin. Since Stephanie had gotten pregnant, perhaps due to hormonal changes, her skin had become even more supple and delicate.
