Molly said, “I think actually Andre is very smart. He hasn’t told you directly, but hearing about
everything he’s done for you through me is more meaningful than if he told you himself.”
Mia didn’t deny it. She rubbed her belly and smiled at Molly.
Knowing that the two of them were okay, Molly felt a weight lift off her heart. After all, all of this had
started because of her.
Mia thought of Leo and asked, “Where’s our little loser? I haven’t seen him recently, and I can’t reach
him through calls.”
Without her even saying his name, Molly knew who she was talking about. “Our little loser has gone to
hell to face his trials. He’s probably getting beaten up right now.”
Mia said, “Understood.”
When the two friends locked eyes, the hospital room fell silent.
In their perfect sisterly harmony, Molly began to say, “So...”
“Stop! From now on, until my kid is born, no one is allowed to mention him or those words.”
Andre’s punishment was effective. Mia now reflexively avoided the topic.
Since she knew her friend so well, as soon as Molly opened her mouth, Mia knew she was about to
bring up the topic of Leo running away. To save herself, Mia immediately covered her friend’s mouth
and warned her not to continue.
Molly, with her mouth covered, nodded. “Okay, won’t mention it!”
She had done all she could to help her brothers. The matter of catching Tom would have to be left to
them. Soon, Andre walked in. He was still on the phone as he entered. “... you come back without a
word. Wait for your sister to give you a beating.”
“Honey, whose domestic affairs are you talking about? Why do you talk about beating? That’s so
violent.”
Andre glanced at his curious wife and sat down on the sofa. “Didn’t I say I would take your sister on a
vacation during the summer break...”
“Cooper!” Mia quickly stood up from the bed, shouting her brother’s name loudly.
She rushed over to her husband and leaned her face close to his ear. As she spoke into the phone, her
breath brushed against Andre’s cheek. “Cooper, if you dare to come back without a word again, I will...
I will...” Mia couldn’t bring herself to say the words ‘give you a few punches’ as she looked at her
husband turning his head to look at her.
“Anyway, I won’t let you off.” Mia quickly finished her sentence.
Then, she swore to her husband, “Honey, I was just speaking out of habit just now. I used to love
scaring Cooper like this. I won’t really beat him.”
“Cooper’s back. He’s at home waiting for you.”
Mia was speechless.
The couple returned to the Irvin family home. When they had just stepped into the living room, a
youthful voice rang out, “Mia.”
The young guy was full of defiance. He was ready to fight with the world, and with his older sister. He
was dressed in his favorite dark clothes. Even in the summer, he wore all black.
“How did the sun outside not roast you?” Mia looked at her brother sitting on the sofa.
She had spent the entire car ride trying to convince her husband to help her discipline Cooper, but
Andre was no fool. That was his brother-in-law. If his wife wanted to beat him, that was her business.
He was just the brother-in-law.
Since ancient times, the husband’s role was to be bullied by the wife’s brother. If the husband lay his
hands on his wife’s brother, it meant he no longer wanted his wife.
Cooper stood up and circled around Mia. “Apart from your belly, you’re ugly everywhere else.”
Mia clenched her fists. She couldn’t stand it!
Cooper kept provoking his sister. “Mia, you must have eaten a whole pig at home by yourself, right?”
Mia was about to lose her patience. He called her fat! And ugly!
Andre showed a helpless smile on his face. If he wasn’t there “threatening” his little wife, Cooper would
probably be calling for help right now.
Andre joked, “Careful. She’s keeping a grudge against you.”
Mia nodded. “Yes! I’m keeping a grudge. And I wrote it all down in a notebook.”
Cooper didn’t believe her at all. He thought his lazy sister was too lazy even to keep a grudge, let alone
write it down in a notebook. She probably couldn’t even write two words without complaining about her
wrist hurting.
“Mia, see what I brought you from abroad.”
Cooper took out a device from his bag. Mia couldn’t read the words on it. They weren’t even in English.
She didn’t know what it was, but her brother wanted to put it on her belly.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
Andre picked it up and read the words. “A fetal heart monitor?”
“Yes, Andre, the instructions say it can not only listen to the baby’s heartbeat but also play music for the
baby.” The two men who could read the strange characters were discussing the device, while the
pregnant woman in the middle had no idea what they were talking about.
Cooper was particularly pleased with the gift he had bought and was sharing its features with Andre.
Mia understood as well. So, the device was to be placed on her belly to listen to the baby’s heartbeat.
She wouldn’t allow it! He had just insulted her so much, so now it was finally her turn to fight back.
“My dear sister.”
“What? You can call me brother.”
Cooper said, “My dear brother.”
Mia said, “... As I said, even if you call me brother, I won’t let you listen.”
Having a baby in her belly was handy. Mia covered her belly. Without her permission, nobody was
allowed to listen.
Cooper regretted not holding back his words just now. He should have waited until after he had listened
to the baby’s heartbeat before insulting her.
“Let me listen. I need to check if this thing is broken or not.”
This time, it was Mia’s turn to taunt Cooper. Cooper finally understood how his sister felt earlier. He
couldn’t lay a finger on his sister, so he could only beg, “Mia, just let me listen once.”
Mia turned her back to him, leaning against her husband.
“Mia”
Mia ignored him. She suddenly turned into a professional grudge holder.
“Mia, do you think you’re the only one who has a belly?”
Mia said, “If you have the guts, put it on your own belly and listen then.”
Cooper knew he didn’t have the guts.
“I’ll do your online assignments for a whole semester.”
Mia was stunned. It was a surprise, taken completely off guard!
Mia couldn’t hide the smile on her face. “Deal!” Mia agreed readily. Content of Draмąոovels.com
It was something that had to be agreed to quickly.
When she came downstairs in her nightgown, Cooper said, “If you didn’t say your age, people would
believe you’re my younger sister.”
Mia bent over to unbutton her pajamas, murmuring, “I like that.”
Seeing her struggling with the buttons, Andre decided to lend a hand. “Your sister acts like a perpetual
teenager. Can’t believe she’s about to become a mom. God knows what our house will turn into.”
“More lively, I guess,” Mia replied.
Mia’s eyes were full of excitement and curiosity. “How is it? Can you hear the heartbeat?”
With a frown, Cooper said, “Why the baby has no heartbeat?”
