Chapter 167 I did not say anything. It had always been difficult for women to give birth, yet it was rarely something men could empathize with. They always saw it as something simple, thinking that we just had to carry a n extra lump of meat within our stomachs for nine months.

Theo had always seemed like a chauvinistic male to me, so I was surprised to hear him say that.

I soon fell asleep again with him holding me. It was nearly noon when I woke up.

"You're awake. Are you hungry?" Theo did not seem to have slept. He was half-lounging on the bed, holdingwith one arm as he used the other to scroll through his phone.

I shook my head. He was truly rearingthe way one would rear a pig, gettingto sleep after eating and stuffingwith food the moment I woke up.

Craving the warmth of his arms, I lay still and did not move despite no longer feeling sleepy.

He put his phone down and turned around to holdeven tighter. After a long while, he said, "It was nice laying with you in silence. I'm preparing to let the others take over the company's operations for a while so I can stay hwith you and accompany you throughout this childbirth process." "That's okay. You're busy, and I still have to go to work." I did not hesitate to refuse. I had never thought about what it would be like for the both of us to stay at hevery day, but I could already guess it would be something that would require a lot of adjusting to.

He raised his gaze toward me, an unreadable expression in the depths of his dark eyes. "Are you worried I won't have enough money to support you, or do you just not like spending twith me?" "It's none of those reasons. It'll just be detrimental to the child's development if we stay together all day like this," I said lightly.

"B*llshit. A child only grows up happily and healthily if the husband and wife have a good relationship." As he tucked a stray piece of hair behind my ear, he lowered his head and whispered, "I heard the doctor say it'd be safe after three months..." He leaned forward a bit more when he sawfreeze. My heart began thudding, a blush rapidly spreading across my face.

Seeing how I remained silent, he began stripping my clothes off me.

"No, I'm worried." The memory of what had happened the last twas still fresh in my mind.

"I swear nothing that happened before will happen again this time." After carryingto the bathroom to clean up, he placedback down on the bed. "You can nap for a while longer. I'll go make something to eat." Then, he put his clothes back on and went downstairs.

It was only then that I remembered that Miss Woods would not be here for the next few days. She had left due to a family emergency. Theo had initially wanted to hire someone else to cook for us, but I had not agreed to it because I was not used to having strangers in the house.

I did not feel sleepy because I had been napping for the entire morning, so I decided to walk downstairs too.

Theo was bustling about in the kitchen. When he sawcoming down, he handeda glass of fresh one handed juice and said, "Go watch television in the living room. It's smoky and oily here." I took the glass of juice and leaned against the doorframe, quietly watching him prepare food.

He rarely cooked, but his movements were as skillful as a sa housewife's As expected, nothing posed a challenge to this man. When I saw a pot of soup on the stove, I put my glass down and prepared to bring it out.

I did not expect a searing pain to run up my hand when I touched the pot. I could not help but scream out in pain as I drew my hand back. "What's wrong?" There was a panicked look on his face as he raced over.
