Chapter 1468

"Hey Mom, just hang out here, okay? I'm heading to the mall for some baby stuff. You're not exactly a mall pro, so it's better if I go solo."

Peyton was a bit uneasy about letting a pregnant Emma wander around by herself. Even though she was generally healthy, the morning sickness had been relentless lately.

Hiring a nanny was off the table-way too expensive. Plus, their place was snug, perfect for two but kind of cramped with three.

Emma threw on a thicker jacket to cleverly hide her baby bump, popped on a hat, and headed out. She left a note behind with a list of things she needed to pick up.

Without a driver's license, getting a car was a no-go, regardless of her financial situation. She figured she'd wait until the baby arrived before tackling that.

As she entered the mall, she instinctively tugged her hat down a bit. Being somewhat of a celeb now, she was cautious about being recognized. If folks found out she was shopping for baby gear, the news of her pregnancy would be all over the internet. The first floor was all high-end stuff, and Emma decided to get a gold bracelet for her mom. Her mom had been upset about losing one before, and now that Emma could afford it, she was set on making it right.

She spotted a 60-gram bracelet that seemed perfect, and then her eyes landed on a stunning gold phoenix hairpin. She didn't need it, but the craftsmanship was mesmerizing.
