“Pift!” Renee spat out the soup in her mouth, face flushed and eyes wide. “Professor Wood, what are

you saying?! It’s not that easy to get pregnant! People will surely get the wrong idea if they heard that!”

Sophia tilted her head and observed Renee’s belly. She then frowned and said. “I get where he’s

coming from. Your belly does. look a bit bigger now…”

“Mrs. Wood, don’t side with your husband!” Renee groaned, then said calmly. “I’m just too happy after

getting the divorce, so

I’ve let myself go a little. I’m not watching my weight like I did when I was still married. I never ate

enough back then, and that’s

why I was slim!”

Mr. and Mrs. Wood found her explanation reasonable. Mrs. Wood nodded and said, “That’s right. If

women don’t watch what

they eat, they can put on weight very easily.”

Stefan, however, was staring at her intently. Renee seemed composed now, but he had noticed her

initial panic that she had quickly stifled. People always said that when one tried very hard to explain the

situation, they were usually attempting to cover something up. Was there really something unusual with

her belly?

However, he did not ask anything further. He just grabbed a tissue paper and handed it to her. “Wipe

your mouth.”

It was still early after the meal. Stefan planned to leave, but Jane didn’t want him to. She insisted on

going out with him and Renee.

“Brother Stefan, Sister Renee, let’s go out and have fun! Dad and Mom get tired easily, so they can’t

take me out. I’m so bored at home!” The little girl whined.

Mr. and Mrs. Wood nodded in agreement, looking at their daughter sympathetically. “She’s right. We’re

old, and usually busy doing research. She always stays alone at home to read. She’s not like other kids

whose young parents take them out to experience all kinds of new things…”

Both Stefan and Renee were left with no options; they could only agree and take Jane out.

They drove to a nearby shopping mall, and once they entered the building. Jane rushed towards the

arcade.

“Brother Stefan, Sister Renee, I want to shoot zombies!” The little girl said excitedly, and ran to a

machine with a zombie game.

Stefan strode over, but Renee was standing outside uncomfortably. There were many people in the

arcade, and it was quite noisy. She was pregnant now, so it seemed quite unsuitable for her to enter

the place.

“Why are you just standing there?” Stefan turned around to look at Renee.

“I…” Renee thought hard, then eventually said, “I didn’t sleep well last night, and it’s stuffy in there. I’ll

get dizzy if I go in.”

Stefan stared at her for a while, but didn’t say anything, and eventually made his way into the arcade.

After a while, it was clear that the two of them were having fun or more accurately, Jane was having

fun.

“Sister Renee, Brother Stefan is great at these games! He won many gift coupons for me, so I got a lot

of gifts in exchange!” Carrying a pile of gifts, Jane handed a toy panda to Renee. “This is Mama Panda,

and it’s for you. This is Papa Panda, and it’s for Brother Stefan. As for this Baby Panda…”

She paused for a while before she pointed at Renee’s belly and said, “I’ll take care of the baby first,

and give it to the baby in your belly in the future!”

“Umm…” Renee felt awkward again as she patted Jane’s head and said, “Hate to break it to you, but

I’m not pregnant.”

“It’s fine. You’ll get pregnant sooner or later,” the little girl said cheerfully.

Renee was speechless. She glanced at Stefan anxiously, and breathed a sigh of relief when she found

that he wasn’t listening

to them.

The three of them headed somewhere else, not noticing that someone was following them from afar…
