Chapter 152 Zoey, Let's Have a Child

The next morning, I was woken up by Carter.

"Zocy, Zocy, wake up."

His voice was deep and pleasant, but I had been sleeping so well lately that even his voice couldn't pull me from my slumber.

When he saw that I wasn't responding, he lightly patted my cheek. I instinctively nuzzled into his hand, mumbling, "I want to sleep a bit more."

His breath brushed against my car as he spoke. Gome on, the Hudsons will be here soon. Don't you want to see the drama unfold?"

Oh right, today's going to be a show!

That thought jolted my mind awake, and I opened my eyes eagerly. Without thinking. I sat up in a hurry and accidentally brushed my lips against his cheek. Our eyes locked and my face flushed crimson. "S-Sorry I didn't realize you were so close."

He chuckled softly. "It's fine. You weren't waking up, so leaned in. Did you sleep well?"

"I've been sleeping great lately. Maybe it's because I'm not the type to have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places."

Or perhaps it was because I had found a new beginning, Sleep became easier as I was always in a good mood. "Good. Now go wash up and have breakfast. The Hudsons will be here soon."

"Got it."

I shook my head. "It's nothing. I think my period is about to start. My body's just a bit sensitive."

I washed up and changed into my clothes in the bathroom. As I dressed, I noticed some redness and swelling.

After all, I remembered period cramps and chest pain were a monthly ordeal in my original body's teenage years.

This body seemed no different, so I didn't think much of it

I picked out a soft silk blouse, but even that smooth material caused faint discomfort.
