Susan was amused by her words. "It's not that bad, actually. An average baby weighs about six pounds. You don't have to eat too much. Just make sure the baby gets enough nutrients. When you’ve given birth t o the baby, you can slowly adjust your diet and then lose weight."
Among the two women, one of them had just given birth while another was currently pregnant. Hence, they naturally had a lot in common to talk about. I listened to them talk while eating the dessert and suddenly felt at peace. I merely hoped that the two women would not involve me in their topics.
"Wanda, my brother said that Mason brought Munchkin to South Vasetine. He has never separated from you since he was a kid. You must be sad about separating, right?" Cassey said, looking at me.
Susan echoed, "You and Mr. Grant really should have a second child.”
I pursed my lips. "He won’t stay in South Vasetine forever. He'll come home in a few more days."
Cassey snickered. "Don't avoid the topic. Honestly, you and Theo should hurry and have another while you're still young. If you're worried that Munchkin will be upset, you can seek his opinion. He's already four now
and knows certain things. Maybe he wants a brother o r a sister too."
I sighed lightly. "Theo and I plan to discuss this after the holidays. He has too many things to handle in the company recently and isn't in the state to consider this matter."
Hearing that Theo and I had the intention of having another child, Susan and Cassey smiled reassuringly.
"I'm going to the hospital later. Petra is hospitalized for appendicitis. If not for the fact that she's my brother’s sweetheart, I really wouldn't want to go," Cassey said in displeasure.
Susan smiled. "Appendicitis surgery is a minor surgery. She'll only need to be hospitalized for seven days. It should be over soon."
She looked at me after saying that, seemingly asking me how many more days before Petra would be discharged.
I did not know the answer to this question and was torn about what to say when the phone rang.
I fished out my phone and saw that it was from Mason. I quickly answered it.
I looked up at him and chuckled bitterly. "You know I don't like crowded places."
Theo raised his eyebrows. "I don't feel at ease leaving you at home alone. I won't be going too, then."
This guy!
Left with no other choice, I could only follow him. The annual convention was held in a five-star hotel.
A long table was laid out in the middle of the ballroom, and spread out on it was a variety of champagne and delicate pastries. Some pastries looked so scrumptious that I grabbed a plate and took a few. I then found a quiet place to enjoy them.
Sensing someone behind me, I turned around to look and noticed that it was Celine. 1
She had a plate of pastries in her hand just like me. She also looked like she just wanted to find a quiet place to eat.
