WIDOW IN MY BED

Week 12

Amanda’s never been happier.

Even though she was happy, there was a thought that she would be okay if she had to die the next day. Of course, dying in an unparalleled state of happiness-Amanda seems to be the luckiest human being on earth.

Amanda felt so loved, especially by this prospective father of the baby she was carrying; Matt’s attitude was like that of a standby husband.

“Have some milk, baby.”

Amanda nodded and received a glass from Matt. “Thank you, handsome Daddy.”

Amanda’s morning sickness has decreased somewhat due to her 3-month pregnancy. She also still works at the restaurant but deliberately reduces her working hours and monitors more. Meanwhile, in his possessiveness, Matt follows his wife everywhere, even while showering, and doesn’t allow Amanda to lock the bathroom door.

Amanda didn’t feel the weirdest desire that her brother’s wife had. The funny thing is, a couple of times, she’s never had an appetite, and she wants to eat Matt’s cooking, even though Matt can’t cook at all. But the guy did it anyway, with Amanda in the pantry giving instructions.

“How about today, my dear wife? What’s the complaint? Our baby’s not bad, right?”

Amanda chuckled as Matt approached her after putting the glass in the sink. “Baby’s fine, Daddy. No complaints at all.”

“But yesterday, Doctor Nessie said that the pregnancy age in the early trimester was still vulnerable. Why don’t you take some time off, honey? Are there a lot of good people at the restaurant? You’re making me worry.”

“Matt, you’re going overboard again! Yesterday, the doctor also said that Baby and I were healthy, right? A restaurant is one of the places that distracts me. Matt, I’m pregnant, not sick. Besides, I know boundaries. Don’t you give bodyguards to keep an eye on me?”

“Hey baby, remember, don’t get too tired, avoid strenuous activities, and ensure you eat regularly and take vitamins.”

“Daddy, Matt,” Amanda kissed Matt on the cheek. “I’ll do all your orders, okay? I’m so grateful you’ve been considerate, but it’s not good if it’s too much. If I weren’t feeling well, I would have told you.”

“Okay, you need to rest. Don’t pretend to be strong. You can be active but only move a little, as usual. Remember, there’s our baby in your belly.”

Matt was distraught that Amanda was having problems. He planned to give support to Amanda, but now he feels scared. Do all future fathers feel the same way as Matt? But is it true that if Matt gets too scared, bad things can happen? Matt tries hard to prevent bad things from happening, even though it means he has to fight hard.

Let it all go to its fate for now by God’s more powerful plan to protect his small family. Matt’s job is to try to keep up with long-term happiness.

Week 20

“Lily, you don’t want to sleep, honey? Come on, Mommy will sleep with you.”

Lily’s headband makes Amanda smile thinly. The little girl has been staring at the room ceiling for a long time, and now Amanda is beside him, trying to put her to sleep. Lily suddenly calmed down with a sweet smile that never ceaselessly offended Mommy Amanda.

“Usually, you fall asleep quickly?”

“I’m not sleepy. I still want to play again. Mommy and my baby brother are already sleepy, aren’t they?” she asked in an anxious tone, getting spoiled in Amanda’s arms.

“A little. But you have to sleep. If Daddy finds out later, you’ll get scolded for not sleeping, baby.”

“Lily wants to go to bed if Mommy Amanda smoothes my hair. May I?”

“Sure, please, Princess. Sleep is important. Let Mommy hug you too so you can fall asleep.”

When Amanda stretches her arms out, Lily immediately bursts into her arms. She smiled secretly as her beautiful Mommy stroked Lily’s hair affectionately.

The little girl’s chuckling funny. “Mommy’s so pretty!”

“You’re also beautiful,” Amanda said with a small laugh while looking into Lily’s shining eyes. You and Lily’s flowers are both beautiful, baby.”

“Mommy, let me ask you,” Lily’s laughter suddenly stopped. That little girl looks more severe than usual. She touched Mommy Amanda’s belly slowly when her mother nodded. “If a baby brother is born, can Lily stay in this house?”

“Hey, why would Lily ask that? Of course, you can, honey. This house is also Lily’s house.”

“Um… Can Lily also be Mommy Amanda and Daddy Matt’s daughter until…”

“Until?” Lily suddenly grimaced. Her mellow voice disappeared and left Amanda staring curiously.

“Hey, is Lily okay?”

Her head shook. Suddenly, a tremor from the little girl’s hand made Amanda panic. Then, she chose a sitting position to see Lily’s bent face.

“Mommy…” Lily whispered in a quivering voice. “I’m sorry, Lily shouldn’t have said that.”

“What did you say? There’s nothing wrong with Lily’s words. Why apologize?”

“Lily can’t ask for more. Mommy Amanda and Daddy Matt hate Lily.”

“No, Lily, Mommy can’t hate an angel who’s already brought a lot of happiness to this house.” Amanda pinched Lily’s cheek. It’s strange. During their drama, Amanda feels a growing affection for her daughter.

“Lying,” Lily looked at Amanda with teary eyes. “I want to be your daughter forever! But Mommy, don’t pity me, Lily won’t insist. If Mommy wants to return Lily to the orphanage, it’s okay!” Ah, now Amanda understands this girl’s concerns.

Seeing her little daughter suddenly sad and fragile, it’s like she wants to protect and make a funny figure happy with a sparkling aura, but now it’s dim. Whenever I see Lily’s face, it reminds Amanda of her former self-constantly alone. Remember when she and her husband first adopted Lily at the orphanage? She was alone, with no real family, only family at the orphanage.

Amanda shook, “Mommy will be sad and sorry if Lily doesn’t want to be Mommy’s child. Because with Lily’s face, Mommy feels a lot of happiness, like fireworks, and is beautiful and makes a grateful thump.” Amanda’s thumb wiped the tears on the pretty girl’s cheeks.

“Does Lily know why Daddy Matt named Alieene after Lily? We wanted Lily to be the sun’s light that would never dim, even if the night changed, even though time passed, but the sun never changed; it would always shine again with disbelief. So, Lily doesn’t have to go anywhere because Mommy and Daddy need the sun to live happily.” And Lily melted like sand on the waves-precisely like the polar ice caps melting. Amanda’s words were as strong as Lily’s nod at the orphanage when she said that seven, ‘I want to be Aunty’s beautiful and Uncle handsome’ child.

Lily smiled with a blushing face full of tears, “Thank you so much, Mommy.”

“Mommy’s also grateful, little angel.” Amanda had never felt so moved if it wasn’t for her husband and family.

While the boy was still crying, Matt listened to his two favourite women chattering from behind the white door. He intended to take the file but was instead treated to the blue-crowned scene. Mr Wallace, who secretly eavesdropped, smiled.

Oh, my God, Matt’s weak right now.

Week 26

* Knock knock…

“The pregnant mother, why aren’t you sleeping at this hour?” Amanda gasped while reading a book at 11 p. m. She immediately closed the book to look at Matt, who had just entered the room after taking care of some work.

The side effects turned out to be prolonged. Longing had made Amanda reluctant to close her eyes even though they had lunch together that afternoon. But it’s the new baby that Daddy wants to take care of.

Again, she doubts that Matt is really in front of her. That this hug could be just a hallucination. However, the doubt was averted by Matt’s gentle tasting of her forehead. But this is not the reaction that the man wanted,

“What took you so long to get home? Did you forget that you have a wife at home?”

“I asked for permission earlier. There was an important job at the pier. Wife, you haven’t forgotten, have you?” Instead of saying yes, Amanda punched Matt in the chest and immediately burst into tears. It was surprising because Matt thought Amanda wasn’t feeling well. He checked every inch of her body because he couldn’t see his soulmate hurt.All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t you love me and the baby in my belly anymore! Evil, it’s late! What kind of father are you? Same old wife and daughter forget! Lily’s looking for you, too, you know! What are we considered?”

“My dear, my chat is still there. I told you yesterday, didn’t I? You didn’t forget when I said, ‘Go to bed first’?”

“Yesterday, yes, now! I said ‘yes,’ but that doesn’t mean you’re willing to give permission. It would help if you were more sensitive. Your wife is pregnant and doesn’t want to be left behind. I want some sleep with you. Daddy doesn’t care about us; you care more about your job… Guys!” Matt turned his eyes wide. He was both shocked and confused by his wife’s mood now.

Matt’s surprised this isn’t the way it is. Moreover, he still remembers that permission has been given-even though he said it was not sincere. So, this drama must be sponsored by Amanda’s pregnancy hormones.

“Sweetheart, please listen to me first. I’m not insensitive, but you permitted me, so I thought–”

“That’s what you call insensitive. You don’t need a lot of excuses, okay?” Matt slightly pushed his head away because Amanda’s shrill voice hurt his ear.

“Yes, my beautiful darling wife, I was wrong. I’m sorry, okay? Promise me that tomorrow will no longer work overtime, and ask you about your true heart.” Matthew Wallace must be a prospective father who must be prepared. A warm hug or intimate kiss welcomes the intention of returning home; there is a domestic drama.

“Surely you didn’t see the parcel on the bed, did you? Basic, insensitive!”

“Hm?” Matt raised his eyebrows, not knowing what she meant.

Amanda sighed, giving Matt the box. I don’t know what’s in it, but it’s a terrible shock, like most people.

“Open right now.” Matt opened a box that seemed convincing. But not with his own wife’s poor brain. Why would Amanda give him a pair of baby boy shoes?

“Amanda… Is this what you mean? You didn’t buy it wrong?”

“Do you think those shoes are for boys or girls? If you don’t believe me, ask the doctor; tomorrow, we’ll double-check to make sure your child’s real sex. They’re two months away from being born, Daddy. Have you prepared a name or not?”

Matt’s eyes were glazed, with endless happiness hugging Amanda, who also smiled after excessive crying.

If Matt didn’t believe in God once because he was so hard at managing his life and taking things away from him, that doesn’t mean that God is deliberate and punishing. It’s themselves who punish as a form of penance.

The evidence is that the miracle happened in real life-growing up in Amanda’s belly. The prayer they offered tirelessly with their whispers was also amazingly realized. That the angel Matt and Amanda left behind is the answer.

Quick born handsome angel Daddy.

Daddy and Mommy can’t wait for you.

I can’t wait to share love and laughter and carve many love stories about us.

About how much God’s power helped lead their meeting until it ended up having you, champ.
