Valda arrived at the floor for the mother and baby section and began to look around.
Children’s things are always especially cute, and when faced with a pile of adorable items, they often want everything and start thinking about buying them all.
At this moment, Valda can understand why her in-laws bought so much.
Valda picked out some baby clothes and shoes. Of course, since she didn’t know whether the baby was a boy or a girl, she tried to choose neutral colors like yellow that could work for either gender.
As she passed by a counter, her eyes suddenly lit up.
It was a counter selling some mother and baby items, and there was a booklet displayed in the window.
It was a baby journal that old. could record the baby’s first year of life, from birth to one year
Each page of the booklet had cute designs and came with some stickers that could be used for DIY
customization.
“Do you like this booklet?” Brian asked beside her.
“Well, it’s quite interesting. It can record the baby’s milestones and you can also stick photos and customize it yourself. I feel like it will be very meaningful once it’s completed,” Valda said.
Naturally, Brian bought the journal for his beloved wife.
Back at the villa, Valda began to carefully flip through the journal, studying the stickers and searching online for similar journals. She looked completely engrossed in it.
After dinner, Brian saw Valda starting to write something in the journal.
“Isn’t this supposed to be recorded after the baby is born?” Brian asked in confusion.
“These are some initial thoughts and wishes for the baby. I can write down my expectations for the baby. After I finish, you can also write something for the baby,” Valda said.
Brian smiled slightly and asked, “Are these words for the baby? If their children grow up in the future and see these words written for their unborn child, what will they think?”
It seems that unconsciously, he has become more and more excited about the birth of this child.
After a while, Valda finally finished writing. She handed the notebook to Brian with a smile and said,
“It’s your turn to write now.”
“Okay.” He responded, picking up a pen and writing in the notebook. “Baby, I’m glad you could come to be with me and your mommy. If you’re wondering why you exist, daddy will tell you it’s because he loves your mommy very much, and that’s why you’re here. The luckiest thing that ever happened to daddy in his life was probably meeting your mommy, because of her, we have a very happy home. Although we don’t know if you’re a boy or a girl yet, daddy and mommy will love you very much and take good care of you as you grow up…”
Brian is writing diligently, recording his happiness and expectations bit by bit…
In the future, he will flip through this journal with his children. At that time, he will slowly tell his and Valda’s story to his children, bit by bit.
Tell the child how much he truly loves Valda!
The New Year is approaching. As it draws nearer, many people become increasingly busy.
However, Valda is quite the opposite, she is never idle… always busy.
She feels a bit anxious because she has too much free time.
The manga work at hand has ended. The remaining work will have to wait until after she gives birth and completes her postpartum confinement before considering starting a new serialization.
As for buying New Year’s goods, cleaning and decorating, these are all ordinary tasks that housewives would do, but she doesn’t have to do any of them.
Basically, Brian or the servants did most of the work.
He seems to be afraid that she might hurt herself with even the slightest movement, as if she were made of glass. She even suspects that if she weren’t pregnant and unable to be carried like a princess, he would carry her everywhere without letting her walk.
Before the New Year, Camille came to chat with her friend. Seeing her friend’s rounder face, Camille exclaimed, “I envy you so much for your wonderful foodie life. So many people wish for it but can’t have it.”
“Thank you for your envy,” Valda said speechlessly.
“I’m serious,” said Camille. “There aren’t many pregnant women who have as much free time as you do. I never realized before that
Brian dotes on his wife so much. I used to think he was cold and distant, and I thought that even if he got married, he would still expect his wife to accommodate him.”
Now it seems that after marriage, Brian has been accommodating
Valda.
“It’s pretty good, but sometimes I feel like Brian is a bit too cautious,” Valda said.
“That’s because he cares about you. If you were with someone who didn’t care, you’d see how they would treat you!” Camille said. “You have to understand, Prince Hart had a reputation for being cold. All those female celebrities in the entertainment industry, whether they were famous or not, who wouldn’t want to become Mrs. Hart? But no matter how tempting or desperate they were, they couldn’t move
Prince Hart. You can imagine how cold he was. But now… tsk tsk…”
As Camille spoke, she shook her head and wiggled around.
If anyone saw what Prince Hart was like after marriage, they would probably be shocked.
It can only be said that sometimes the colder a man is, the more surprising he may be after marriage.
“By the way, you’re only a month away from your due date now, right?” Camille said.
“Yeah, the baby should be born around early March,” Valda said.
“Time flies so fast. It feels like just yesterday we were worrying about you getting pregnant,” Camille said, as if her friend’s pregnancy was still fresh in her mind.
“Yeah, time really flies,” Valda said.
During the chat, Brian returned to the villa. Upon seeing Camille, he greeted her and then bent down to naturally kiss Valda’s forehead. “How was it? Did the baby give you a hard time today?”
“It was fine,” Valda replied. “The fetal movements were normal too.”
“Did you have any leg cramps?” Brian asked.
“I had one at noon,” Valda replied.
Brian took off his coat, rolled up his sweater sleeves, and sat down next to Valda. “Was it the left leg?”
“Yes, it was.”
Brian carefully placed Valda’s left leg on his knee and used his slender fingers to give her leg a massage.
“How does it feel?”
“Be gentle…it’s so sore,” Valda said.
“How about now?”
“Almost there, a little higher.”
“Here?”
“Uh-huh.”
Camille, who was standing aside, was stunned. She never expected to witness the Crown Prince giving someone a massage in her lifetime.
This is the aloof and cool male god in the eyes of others!
So, what about being aloof now? Don’t be too attentive to Valda!
After Valda noticed her friend’s shocked expression, she seemed to realize what was happening and blushed slightly.
After all, although Brian had given her massages many times before, Camille had never seen him do it until now.
“Um… I’m in the late stage of pregnancy and my legs tend to cramp up, so when he has free time, he helps me massage them,” explained Valda.
“It’s… It’s pretty good,” murmured Camille, “And Brian seems to have some good skills.”
“Craftsmanship?” Valda sweated profusely. “By the way, do you want to stay and have dinner with me?”
she asked.
“No, I have a business meeting later. I’ll come see you next time,” Camille said.
After Camille left, Valda turned to Brian and said, “I feel like Camille was surprised when you helped me massage my calves. Does it not fit your image?”
Brian chuckled. “Then what do you think fits my image?”
“…It should be pure and aloof, high above everyone else,” she said, which was her first impression of him.
“That’s no longer the case,” he said, looking deeply into her eyes.
“When I fell in love with you, I was no longer like that.”
Valda smiled. Yes, he was no longer like that now.
If she had felt he was like a distant moon that she could only look at from afar and not approach back then…
Now, there was a hint of fireworks in him. He was no longer out of reach, but within reach. He was gentle, passionate, and no longer cold.
“Brian, I like you more now,” Valda said, raising her hands and holding Brian’s face. “What should I do?
I feel like painting you again.”
My heart started racing, so my hands got itchy again.
He said, “I’m afraid tonight won’t work. I still have some work to do for the company, so I’ll probably be in the study tonight. How about tomorrow? I’ll be your model then.”
She blinked and said, “I’ll come to the study with you that night. You can do your work and I’ll do my painting.”
He raised his eyebrows slightly.
She said, “Don’t worry, I still have this ability. It’s not like I need you to sit still for me to draw. Besides, when you’re working, your movements aren’t very big anyway. And, I’m not drawing you to enter a competition or win any awards or anything like that. I just…um, want to draw you.”
“Okay, it’s up to you. Just remember that it’s just a painting, don’t tire yourself out too much,” he reminded.
“I understand,” she replied.
After dinner, the couple went to the study together.
Brian was sitting at his desk, working on company matters, while
Valda took her sketching pencil and set up an easel in front of the sofa to start drawing a sketch of Brian.
Valda did not study in the art department at university, but she knew how to sketch. She started drawing comics and then went on to study painting systematically.
