His Precious Love

Chapter 603

After eating a plate of grilled meat, Jessica pushed his hand away with a frown and said, “I'm so full I can't stomach any more food.”

Then, Wyatt requested the waiter for a fruit platter.

The duo stayed at the restaurant for quite a long time. All the other guests had already left by the time Jessica finished resting.

She grabbed her bag and stood up while Wyatt remained still. “Why aren't you helping me? The floor is so slippery. What if I fall? Do you plan to stand there and watch?” she asked, looking at him.

It was then that Wyatt finally came to his senses. He strode toward her, cautiously placed his arm around her waist, and walked her to the door.

“Should I get you a cab?” asked Wyatt upon exiting the premises.

Jessica was rendered speechless.

About three seconds later, Wyatt realized his mistake. Thus, he led Jessica to his car and opened the door for her.

Upon sitting in the driver's seat and putting on the seatbelt, Wyatt suddenly realized that he had forgotten how to drive.

Jessica waited for a while, but he did not move a muscle. “Are you waiting for me to drive you instead?”

At that instant, Wyatt ignited the engine frantically. He secured his hands on the steering wheel and checked the rear mirror every now and then.

He would usually drive about eighty kilometers per hour. However, he was not his typical self that day and was fearful to even reach forty kilometers per hour.

He cruised along the road, not knowing where his destination was. Hence, he asked, “Where do you live?”

“Our marital residence.” Jessica found his question ridiculous. “Aren't we married? Shouldn't we head back to our house together? Or did you not end up getting us a place?”

Wyatt was utterly flabbergasted and drove the car to Zenisan Villa.

There was only one housekeeper taking care of the villa. Since Wyatt was often away, the housekeeper only visited every three days.

Coincidentally, the housekeeper had just completed a garden makeover and decided to stay the night because it was already late.

“Mr. Lopez.” Although the housekeeper had been working there for quite a while, she rarely saw Wyatt. That was also the first time she had ever seen him bring a woman home, and it was a pregnant lady. From the looks of it, she assumed they were a couple. “Hello, Mrs. Lopez.”

Jessica flashed a smile at her and asked, “I'd like to have some oatmeal tomorrow. Is that okay?”

“Of course!”

Subsequently, Wyatt assisted her to the room on the second floor. He was so anxious that he did not know where to place his hands. “You'll be fine taking a shower alone, right? I'll get the housekeeper to bring you some clothes.”

“Are you very nervous?” Amused, Jessica held his hands. “It seems to me that everything is just a blur to you since the moment you met me at the restaurant. It's as if you don't know anything else besides your name.”

Wyatt stared at her for a while. He gulped and asked, “Are you really alive?”

A few seconds later, a grim-faced Jessica pushed him out of the bedroom.

Wyatt stood at the door. For several moments, he debated how to request someone send him some clothes. In the end, he made up his mind to drive out and personally shop at any clothing store that was still open.

When the salesperson noticed that Wyatt was shopping for maternity clothes, he seized the opportunity to offer him more. “The baby shop opposite is ours too. Would you like to go and have a look, sir? To get some newborn clothing too?”

To get clothes for the baby? Am I out of my mind?

Though he questioned himself initially, Wyatt returned to Zenisan Villa with more than ten shopping bags, five of which were baby clothes. I must have gone mad!

As he was bringing all the bags up to the room, he ran into Jessica, who was seemingly looking for him. Her hair was damp. She cast a glance at the shopping bags and said, “My due date is just around the corner. Who's going to wear all these maternity clothes after I give birth?”

“You can wear two outfits each day or change every hour.” Wyatt put the bags in the room. When he was about to leave, he noticed her damp hair and proceeded to get the hair dryer and blow it dry for her.

Meanwhile, Jessica was checking out the contents of the shopping bags.

Wyatt bought everything that was pleasing to his eyes. Thankfully, his taste in clothes was not bad.

When Jessica saw the last few bags of baby items were all in pink, she chuckled. “It's a boy. Do you really think that he wants to be dressed in pink?”

Wyatt simply answered the salesperson and said it was a girl when the latter asked. Yet, Wyatt kept his cool and replied languidly, “Oh, it's not a big deal. I'll purchase more soon.”

After drying Jessica's hair, Wyatt headed to the room next door.

Instead of taking a shower, he went to smoke on the balcony. Was I at the club tonight? Did I really run into this woman? Wyatt fell into deep thoughts as he gazed at the light reflected from the bedroom next to his.

Everything that happened that night felt too realistic to be true.

After puffing on a cigarette, Wyatt stood on the balcony for a while more before showering.

As soon as he came out of the bathroom, Wyatt went straight to the balcony. He was relieved to see the lights were still on, indicating that Jessica was in her room.

Is she asleep? What's her sleeping position during pregnancy when her belly is so big?

Wyatt paced up and down, overthinking things. Then, he saw the lights go off all of a sudden. Assuming that it was caused by a faulty circuit component, Wyatt wanted to head out to check.

The moment he opened his bedroom door, Jessica was there in her pajama.

She lifted her head and had one hand on her waist. “Are you seriously letting a mom-to-be sleep by herself?” she asked, furrowing her brows.

When the realization struck him, Wyatt opened the door wider and let her in.

Afterward, he went to the storage cabinet to pick up an extra pillow. Worried that the duvet was too thin, he also changed it into a thicker one.

When he was done, Jessica removed her slippers and lay on the bed. She tapped the space beside her and instructed, “Come over here.”

Wyatt heeded her words.
