Chapter 275

Matthew stirred the spatula and said slowly, "as long as I have time, I'll cook for you guys from now on."

"The kids won't remember, but I will," Isabella said, seizing the moment.

Matthew turned around, their eyes met, both filled with happy smiles.

Isabella's earlier complaints about Matthew melted away at this moment.

As long as the important people were still healthy and by her side, that was already a very happy thing.

She didn't know if it was psychological, but Isabella ate quite a lot today.

If Matthew hadn't stopped her, Isabella would have wanted to eat even more.

"Eating too much isn't good for your body."

That night, the two lay in bed. Isabella's belly had gotten quite big, and she always slept on her side.

She looked at Matthew's profile and said, "seeing you still beside me, I'm afraid it's all a dream."

Matthew gently comforted Isabella, "it's not a dream, and it can't be a dream."

"I'm back."

"Don't be afraid."

Isabella moved closer to Matthew and said softly, "what's the deal with those photos online?"

"Also, actually Robert came to see me in the middle of all this. Does your situation have something to do with him too?"

Hearing Robert's name, Matthew frowned deeply and said slowly, "Robert is the illegitimate son of a foreign financial magnate."

"He was sent to the domestic market for training."

Isabella's pupils contracted. Robert was a foreigner?

"Then his marriage alliance with Mia?"

"In that case, isn't the Lopez family in big trouble?"

Matthew smiled lightly, "they're scheming against each other. In the end, it just depends on who can outsmart whom."

Hearing this, Isabella felt relieved. She didn't like either of them. "I think Robert must have secretly partnered with Chase and them on other things."

"Too bad he didn't get locked up with them this time."

Seeing that Isabella had no other thoughts about Robert, Matthew felt much more comfortable and said gently, "it's still a bit early."

"What do you mean?" Isabella frowned, staring at Matthew.

Matthew explained, "Chase and his people moved too fast."

"If they hadn't been so impatient and hadn't made a move on you, I would have waited a bit longer before coming out."

Isabella understood and immediately became worried, "will that affect your later plans?"

Matthew held Isabella, "silly, you're my first priority."

Such sweet words again. Isabella couldn't suppress the smile at the corners of her mouth, "what happened to you on this trip?"

"Your words are getting sweeter and sweeter. Do you know this makes me very uneasy?"

Matthew smiled faintly, "you'll have to get used to it."

"I also went through a life-and-death experience and realized that love should be spoken out loud."

"Isabella, I like you."

Isabella lowered her eyes, unable to suppress the impulse in her heart, but looking down at her belly, she settled down.

She could only stare at Matthew quietly. This guy, didn't he know her situation was special right now?

"Why are you saying these things?"

"Making me feel like I'm dreaming."

Matthew heard similar words again. He became helpless and could only gently stroke Isabella's back, "you'll get used to it."

Isabella, breathing in Matthew's familiar scent, smiled as she drifted off to sleep.

Matthew heard Isabella's even breathing and felt very peaceful.

But in the middle of the night, Isabella got up to use the bathroom, and Matthew got up with her.

He knew that the further along pregnant women got, the more frequently they needed to use the bathroom.

Isabella leaned on Matthew and said slowly, "come with me to the prenatal checkup tomorrow."

"Okay." Matthew didn't say the company was busy. Instead, after Isabella closed her eyes, he sent Riley a message, directly postponing the meeting.

The next day, Bianca happened to be bringing Citrus to the hospital for a shot.

The two parties ran into each other.

"Isabella, are you here for a prenatal checkup?"

When Bianca saw Matthew, she was quite satisfied. Being able to put aside work and personally come to the hospital for the checkup showed that Isabella and the child were in his heart.

"What about you, giving Citrus a shot?"

Isabella walked forward to look at Citrus, whose little face was red from sleep.

"Still not awake?"

Bianca smiled and complained, "this little one was excited about something last night and didn't sleep until two or three in the morning."

"This morning she ate a bit, used the bathroom, and fell asleep again."

"We'll need to wake her up when it's time for the shot."

Isabella immediately said, "let's give Citrus her shot first."

She turned to look at Matthew.

Matthew nodded. When they entered the vaccination area, he looked at the children one by one, feeling that his child would be even cuter in the future.

His gaze unconsciously fell on Isabella's belly, feeling very satisfied.

During the shot, Isabella was responsible for distracting Citrus's attention, and Matthew watched from the side.

Citrus, who had been smiling, suddenly turned to look at her arm. Her little mouth turned down, and she started crying.

It broke Isabella's heart.

Thinking that her two children would go through this in the future, Isabella felt more and more upset.

After the three of them comforted Citrus, Isabella went for her checkup.

After all the busyness, Bianca went to the Moore Manor again.

"Where did Joshua go?"

"Why didn't he come along for the shot?"

Bianca said slowly, "something happened in his family, and he rushed back overnight."

"Don't blame him."

Seeing Bianca speaking up for him, Isabella didn't press the matter about Joshua.

Matthew also went to work.

At mealtime, Ava and Hayden both came out to eat.

Both of them played with Citrus for a while.

"Where's Faye?"

"Where did she go to play?"

Isabella asked about Faye.

With Citrus there, Ava spoke more quietly, "a friend called her, and she went out to play."

"Don't worry about her."

Isabella didn't ask any more questions.

But in the evening, Faye came back with Matthew.

Isabella noticed that Faye had specially dressed up, and she teased, "any developments?"

Everyone knew what this "development" meant.

Matthew also looked at Faye, "if there's someone suitable, bring him back for us to see."

Faye smiled shyly, "today I met a pretty good guy, but to bring him back, I still need to observe him a bit more."

Matthew smiled lightly, "as long as you like him."

Knowing Matthew had finished dinner, Isabella urged him to go upstairs to wash up, while she continued to question Faye.

"What does he look like?"

"Do you have a photo?"

She knew Faye had good taste, so she was a bit curious.

Facing Isabella, Faye was a bit embarrassed, "Isabella, I don't have a photo yet."

"Don't worry, if things go smoothly, you'll definitely get to see him."
