Chapter 1231
Today, Floyd and Monica went to a church to pray and would not be back until evening. So, Zoe spent the morning alone at home.
When Kyle returned, Zoe waved at him from the balcony and headed downstairs. As soon as she descended the stairs, she saw Kyle entering the living room.
"Ky, you're back."
Kyle hugged Zoe and handed her what he had just bought. "I got you your favorite pastry."
“Ky, you're the best."
Zoe took it and kissed Kyle on the lips, feeling delighted. Kyle sat down with Zoe on the sofa, touching her belly. "How are you feeling today?"
"Pretty good. I haven't felt nauseous all day."
Zoe's morning sickness had improved lately, and she had regained her appetite.
"That's good."
Kyle caressed Zoe's belly and spoke to their baby. "Baby, be good. Don't give trouble to your mom."
While enjoying her pastry, Zoe said, "Mom told me it was even more difficult for her when she was pregnant with you. Especially in the later months, she had pelvic pain, leg cramps, and sleepless nights. I wonder if I'll experience the same in the future."
Zoe had some worries as she spoke.
Kyle held Zoe's hand, his eyes filled with tenderness.
There was an old saying that one would understand parents' love when they have children of their own.
Now, as he was about to become a father, Kyle was beginning to understand the hardships his mother endured when she was pregnant with him.
If he could, he would gladly bear the pain of pregnancy and childbirth for Zoe.
Zoe offered Kyle a piece of the pastry she was eating. "Ky, this one is strawberry-flavored. Try it."
Kyle took a bite. "I've already bought the recipe from this dessert shop. When we get to the island, the chef can make it for you whenever you want."
Zoe blinked in surprise. "Ky, you bought the recipe?"
Kyle nodded, and then Zoe asked, "Ky, will we stay on the island for a long time?"
"I planned to wait until you give birth before returning to Richworth. But if you find the island boring, we can return sooner."
"It's all fine. As long as I'm with you, I won't be bored no matter where we are."
Zoe touched her belly and said, "And with our baby, we'll soon be a family of three."
Kyle hugged Zoe tightly. "Zoe, meeting you is the greatest blessing of my life."
Zoe nestled her head on his shoulder with a smile on her face.
…
The next day, Kyle and Zoe prepared to head to the island in the morning.
Mable and Blair went to the airport to see them off.
"Take good care of yourselves. If anything comes up, remember to call me."
Mable held Zoe's hand, reluctant to part.
Zoe nodded, still wearing a pure and innocent expression. "Mabes, don't worry. With Ky here, he will care for me and our baby."
Mable handed her a small bottle. "These are the prenatal pills I prepared for you. Take one an hour before bedtime."
Zoe accepted the medicine. "Thank you, Mabes. By the way, I'm almost done with the medicine you gave me last time."
Mable hugged Zoe. "Take good care of yourself. If you get bored, call me. The island isn't too far from Richworth, so I'll definitely visit you."
Zoe smiled and nodded. "Okay, you and Master Blair take care of each other, too."
Mable looked at Blair, who was talking to Kyle on the side. Her brows furrowed slightly, as if she was thinking of something.
