My Pretty Sweetheart (Arianna)

Freya took a look at me, pinched her forehead and looked a little helpless. For a moment, I really could not think of anything to comfort her.

Fortunately, Yana did not continue to drown in her emotions. She ate a few mouthfuls of dessert, looked at me and said, "It tastes really good. I've been learning how to make desserts these past few days. Too much will make me fat."

Freya looked at her, surprised evident on her face. "I'm afraid that you have yet to see me. Just look at how fat I have become! I am envious; both of you have already given birth to a baby and the baby is grown. But the fetus inside me is only four months old. I still have another six months to go. Who knows how much fatter I am going to get?"

Yana smiled and said, "You are exaggerating. Generally speaking, a baby will weigh around six pounds. You do not have to eat a lot. You just have to make sure that the baby is getting enough nutrients. After the child is born, just watch out for what you eat and you will lose the weight eventually."

scene.

"Arianna, are you and Hendrix preparing to have another baby again? I heard from Pedro that Anne is following Josiah to Hanlusia City. Aren't you worried?" Freya brought the topic back to me.

I was stunned for a moment and then said, "It is fine. Josiah will take good care of her."
