Bella was trying to fix her thoughts and pretend, even lie but her head was blank, drawing a smile on her face, she opened her mouth, "I think you must ask him, I won't deny that my brother is a surprise box. You see, I was also amazed but I liked what he did. If I wanted to imagine a wife for him, it was exactly you. Besides, you need a subject to open a conversation with him."
Dan shook her head, "this is not real, Bella! We don't know how long this marriage will last this is why I want to keep it hidden, besides that, when my belly grows, I can't go to university."
Bella could breathe in peace as the conversation changed its path, however, she knew her friend, Dan would search for the main answer and she hoped that Huan was ready for explaining to her, otherwise he would lose her forever.
Dan turned back as her hair was now dry, she felt hungry but the relish was already dead, she couldn't even find time to think about her child, or do an official test! But, she wouldn't let go of her child. It didn't matter how she had lost her parents, or they left her, she wouldn't leave a piece of herself. It didn't matter if the father was a true devil.
"Eat, Dan, you must give me a healthy nephew or niece." She smiled sheepishly but it was also odd to her when she heard that Dan was pregnant. She couldn't decide whether be happy or not. Nevertheless now, her emotions got solidly stable toward this child, she felt like she was the true aunt.
"Alright, but stay here."
Bella nodded and waited until she finished her meal and noted, "it is October now and the weather is cold. You can wear loose clothes until winter ends and for Spring when it is getting close to childbirth, we will take a leave for the Spring trimester."
Her face flourished, it came across that she had thought about it.
"Good idea, I hope everything works well because I want this child."
Bella didn't know why she wanted this child but she wasn't in a position to interfere in her decision.
"Okay, darling." She stood up and pointed to the dresser, "I brought you my dress, but look what he left for us before going out!"
She took a black card out of her Jeans and waved her hand, "do you know how much I love this card?"
"Don't tell me that you want to take me shopping! My belongings are in that apartment."
Bella put out her forefinger and wore a wise skin on her face, "depression, anxiety, and stress are truly dangerous for a pregnant woman, do you know what can wash all this down?"
Dan giggled, this side of Bella was so much fun, and of course cute. To hear her answer, she shook her head in denial of having no clue of the answer.
"Ah, but I know, it is a huge fat shopping in the evening to decrease them all, and gladly my brother isn't stingy. About your belongings, they will be here, don't think of it."
She revealed this with so much joy, that made them both laugh. But Dan couldn't feel happy inwardly, she despised going into that apartment and letting the memories steer around to drive her mad.
Grabbing her hand, she made Dan stand and added, "let's forget those rascals for today and help ourselves to enjoy. We are not weak people right?"
"Fighting, sister! I'm grateful for having you."
After getting ready, they moved out of the room and met Xue, the woman who was working there as Mrs. Liu's assistant.
"Wow, you look better, Lady Tian."
"Thank you, my dear."
"Well, this is Xue, last night she helped me to tend to you then she went home."
"Nice to meet you, Lady."
She kept folded towels in her hands so Dan didn't cut her to be chatty.
"Same for me, darling, please go ahead. We don't mean to bother you."
Xue smiled and left as she was too busy.
"Is there living only Mrs. Liu and lady Xue?"
"For now, my brother's butler Victor Liu who is Mrs. Liu's son."
After introducing them, they walked out of the villa and, Bella took her to the small lake inside the garden.
"Wow, here is a piece of heaven," Dan uttered while her eyes sparkled, those golden leaves were falling with the slight wind, the earth was rugged with them under their feet and the sound of them was making a pleasant melody. Being here could make her forget all about the heavy things which had chained her heart.
Looking at the lakeside, suddenly she halted, a child was running there and laughing, a man was following him, picking him up from the ground, they were laughing, and turned to look at her. That man, he was Mr.Qin! Did he have a child? Perhaps, it was the reason he helped her.
"Dan, what is wrong? Do you like the lakeside?"
Bella's voice brought her out to the present and she blinked a few times, was it all illusion? Of course, it sounded to be, no one was over there!
"Nothing, but I'm just curious! Bella, does your brother have a child?"
Bella shook her head, "no if it is for what I told you previously, no, as long as I know, his ex wasn't pregnant."
"Oh, okay! I think we should change the conversation, do you think that your parents let you stay with me?"
Bella gently wrapped Dan's neck with the pink jacket, not letting the breeze get over her.
"My parents love you, for my mom, she would be excited if I stay here but I wish I could say the same words for my father."
"Convincing Mr.Yang is difficult but I can do it, leave it to me. If he wants us to become good lawyers then he must let us study together."
She winked.
"Yes, since we got that extra art class, he was nagging that I'm wasting my time on the verge of nothing, he knows about your high grades so it can be the best excuse."
Dan nodded but she could see that Bella couldn't get over her current major and have chosen it for the sake of her parents as it was their job, too. But her talent for making amazing digital art was undeniable, Bella was always so happy making comics.
Going to a stone bench, Bella smoothly moved her arm over her shoulders, leading her to the bench, "Come, sit here, I'm not gonna frustrate you."
She obeyed and they took their seat with a lake view.
"How does it feel, Dan?" Bella asked while peering at the reflection of trees inside the lake.
"What?"
"Having another life inside you?"
Dan peered at her for a bit longer period, it was unexpected but, to be honest, she didn't have time to think about it until now.
