When Edith woke up, she found that the person who was supposed to be beside her was not around. Edith grabbed her phone on the bedside and noticed that it was three in the morning.

She got off the bed slowly and went into the study. The door to his study was slightly ajar. Edith pushed the door slightly and saw her husband behind the desk. His attention was fully on the computer screen and he had a serious look on his face. Her lips curled into a faint smile and Edith continued to stand there to watch him as he worked.

As if noticing that someone was at the door, Neil raised his head and was startled when he saw Edith at the door. He stood up immediately and walked over.

"Why are you here?" His hands quickly reached to support her and his gaze raked all over her body with worry. "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Edith shook her head. "I'm fine. I woke up and didn't see you in the room."

Neil looked at his wife helplessly. "I will accompany you to bed. Next time, don't walk around. Your body is still very weak."

"No. Can I stay here for a while and watch you work?" Edith asked. "I've been staying in bed for too long. I just want to walk around and straightened my back."

A frown appeared on his face as he was still worried about her health. "Come inside." He moved his body to another side and helped her to the sofa. The doctor had told them that her body was a little weak as she was unable to eat well. With her thin body at this moment, Neil was a little worried that she might slip and fall.

Seeing that Neil was still staring at her with worry, Edith quickly waved her hand. "Go and continue with your work. I'll be fine sitting here for a while. I will tell you when I get tired, alright?"

Neil walked over to his desk, poured a glass of water, and passed it to his wife. Once he saw that she had taken a sip, Neil returned to his computer to look at a few documents.

After five minutes, he tore his gaze away and rubbed his eyes. His gaze then fell at the woman in the room. Neil was suddenly in a trance as he was looking at the person who was sitting on the sofa with a book in her hand.

The lights on the ceiling were lit to brightened the room, but at this moment, he felt as if the light were all focused on his wife. The look on Edith's face was so calm and serene. He could not tear his gaze away.

Suddenly, he stood up and walked over to her. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. After taking a whiff at her familiar scent, Neil then pressed her lips on her cheek.

Edith giggled and turned her head to look at the man beside her. "Did my presence disturb you from focusing on your work?" Her lips curled into a faint smile. "Sorry. I'll go back to the room and sleep."

The past few days, Edith has been staying in her room for too long and she wanted to have a change of environment. However, she also understood that Neil was busy with his work and his plan with her grandfather.

"It's fine. Just stay here in a while," Neil tightened his hug. "I have been staring at the computer for too long. I should take a break once in a while."

Her gaze softened as she listened to him. Edith put the book she was reading on the side table. Then, she patted at the space beside her and spoke, "Sit here."

Neil loosened his embrace before he went to her side and sit down.

Edith patted at her thigh next. "Lay your head here."

Neil stared back at her, feeling a little unsure.

"Come on."

After a brief hesitation, he put his head obediently on her thigh and soon, felt her fingers running through his hair. Then, her fingers started to move, giving him a light massage.

He looked up and met her gaze. The couple continued to look into each others' gaze affectionately. None of them said a word as they were enjoying the silence.

Suddenly, Edith lowered her head and kissed his forehead. Her lips then trailed down and touched the tip of his nose before they stopped to meet his lips in a brief kiss.

When they parted, Neil could see the smile in her eyes.

Instantly, Neil felt as if his fatigue had slowly disappeared.

"How are you feeling?" Neil asked.

"Good. These days, I didn't throw out most of my meal," Edith said. "I'm entering the second trimester in a few days. Auntie said that after a while, this morning sickness will pass and I could eat normally."

The slight frown on his face disappeared when he heard her words. "That's good."

"But staying too long in the house is making me tired." Edith blinked her eyes, flashing him the best innocent look, and spoke, "Hubby, when you're not that busy, accompany me for a walk, alright?"

She has been staying at home the moment her morning sickness got worse and Edith was dying for some fresh air.

"Where do you want to go?"

"Just a walk at the park would be good."

Neil pondered over her request and nodded. "If you're feeling better, let's go out this weekend. The renovation at the new house is halfway done. I will need your opinion on some matters. Help me to choose the color of the room."

Her eyes brightened upon hearing that she would have the chance to walk outside on the weekend. "Alright."

He turned around slightly and his gaze rested on her stomach. At this time, her stomach had formed a small bump. It was not very visible, but as someone who has been watching her body every day, Neil could still notice this little difference.

Moreover... because she was not eating well, her body was a little thinner and the bump could be seen a little clearer.

Neil stretched up his hand and touched her stomach.

A lot of thoughts went through his head. It has been a few months, but he still found it unbelievable that he was about to become someone's father. Sooner or later, a little child would be running around the house and cause mischief everywhere. That thought felt a little unreal.

Neil did not notice this, but as he continued to stare at her stomach, his eyes turned gentler and a small smile formed at his lips. If anyone saw him at this moment, they would never believe that the man in front of them was the same ice block they know.

"Baby, grow up quickly and don't cause too much trouble for your mother, alright?" He then leaned forward and pressed his lips on her stomach, causing Edith to giggle at the slightly ticklish feeling.
