...

Margaret was still holding onto the pregnant Halle and refused to let go.

Halle looked up and saw Julian, who was already standing in front of them. She said helplessly, "Margaret, it’s time for you to go."

Margaret would go back to Far City tomorrow, so they couldn’t meet each other for a while.

She said, "There’s no hurry. Tell me more. I’m not tired." Margaret held Halle’s hand without any intention of letting go.

Halle smiled and looked up at Julian behind her, "If you aren’t tired, I am exhausted. Julian has come to pick you up. If you don’t go back, I am afraid that I will have a premature birth."

"Is it so serious?"

Margaret was so scared that she quickly stood up from the chair and looked at Halle seriously, "I won’t ask anymore. When you have time and feel relaxed, I’ll send you a video."

It was the same to ask over the phone.

Halle nodded and reminded her, "Go back and have a good rest. Remember to exercise more."

After all, Margaret’s appetite was too good. It was very easy for her to become sick because of putting on too much weight.

If she ate too much, she would have a hard time of recovery after childbirth.

Margaret nodded obediently. What Halle said was right.

Julian held Margaret’s hand and greeted Halle apologetically.

Halle smiled gently and looked at Julian seriously, "Margaret has a good temper. Such a lively wife will definitely bring you a lot of joy. You must take good care of her."

Although Margaret was a little willful and sometimes had a little temper, she was a person who did not care about trifles.

The people around her would never feel pressured.

Julian looked at the faint smile on Halle’s face and said softly, "I will."

Of course, he would take good care of Margaret, the woman he chose to marry with.

Margaret sat in the car and seemed to remember something. She turned around and asked, "Where is Hilla?"

Did she forget her?

Julian turned to look at her confused and innocent face. He could tell that she had really forgotten.

"She has left."

"Gone?"

Margaret was stunned. The next second, she said worriedly, "Hilla was drunk. She can’t drive."

As she spoke, she hurriedly took out her phone to call Hilla.

The moment Margaret took out her phone, Julian snatched it away.

Seeing that Margaret was about to lose her temper, Julian said, "Your brother took her away."

"My brother was here too?"

When Horton called Bruce to take Hilla home, Julian happened to be there. The two men came to Halle’s house together to take back their wives.

Knowing that Hilla was fine, Margaret heaved a sigh of relief and muttered in a low voice, "You scared me to death."

She had thought that she had been too careless and had forgotten about Hilla. If anything happened to Hilla, Bruce would skin her alive. Julian smiled, "Why are you so afraid of your brother?"

Margaret rolled her eyes, "You don’t know, he had been always making jokes about me when I was a child.

"When we were young, we lived in other places. He brought a little girl from our neighborhood every day and played with her. He didn’t play with me. I was so angry.

"I’ve never seen such a brother.

"He treated that girl like a treasure and his own sister like nothing. I did not want to be Bruce’s sister anymore."

Julian raised his eyebrows slightly. A smile appeared on his face.

Margaret thought that he was laughing at her. Unexpectedly, Julian suddenly said, "It doesn’t matter. I will play with you in the future."

"I’ll take you wherever I go!" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Margaret turned her head and looked at Julian’s face.

Her eyes were bright and dark with disbelief.

Seeing that he had no intention to tease her, she whispered, "I’ve grown up. It is not fun to play childish games anymore?"

Besides, she didn’t need anyone to take her. She could play by herself.

Julian smiled and suddenly rubbed the back of Margaret’s head.

Margaret was caught off guard by this sudden action. She frowned and slapped his hand away.

She said reluctantly, "What are you doing? You messed up my hair."

She hated people rubbing her head like this as if she were a puppy or kitten.

Julian did not get angry. He turned to drive his car carefully.

He said happily, "My Margaret is the most obedient."

Margaret frowned and glared at Julian in anger.

Why did he say that to her? As if she used to be a very disobedient child. She was not a child and didn’t want him to treat her as a child.

She turned away angrily and continued to look out of the window.

After Christmas, it was deep winter.

Margaret and Julian decided to return to Far City.

After all, the Jorgansen family was there. Even if she was pregnant, it was not proper to let Julian’s parents come and see her.

No matter what, they had to go back and personally tell them the good news.

Although Margaret really didn’t want to leave, she didn’t show much resistance.

Orlenna had prepared a lot of presents and sent them to Far City by delivery service.

Sitting in the car, Margaret looked at Orlenna and Hilla and said, "If Halle gives birth, you must tell me immediately. I can come back."

Orlenna frowned and snapped, "What should you come back? It is she who gives birth. Are you a nurse to help her? Just stay there and take care of yourself. It will be your turn soon. I can’t help you if anything goes wrong with you."

Margaret said unhappily, "Mom, did I ask you to take care of me? I just asked you to cook something for me. You did that for Hilla, too, when she was pregnant."

"You can cook for Hilla, but you can’t cook for me. Is that right?"

Orlenna ignored Margaret’s complaints and said, "Are the Jorgansen family short of food or clothes for you? Why do you want to come back and bring me trouble?"

She continued, "It is time for you to go. Hurry up and leave. We’ll talk about it when you give birth."

"Mom, Halle will give birth in a month or so. Anyway, I am only a few months into my pregnancy. I can come back. Besides, I have something to ask Halle."

After all, after Halle gave birth, all her experiences were still fresh. If Margaret wanted to know anything, Halle’s memory was still very clear.

"You damn girl, stay safe! It is not easy to be pregnant. Stop doing things that may hurt the baby."

If anything happened to the baby, Margaret wouldn’t be able to bear the loss.

Margaret wanted to say something, but Hilla quickly stopped her and said, "If there’s any problem, you can tell Riya. You two are in the same city and your due dates are close. It’s cold and not convenient for you to come back."

Obviously, Margaret was very unhappy.

Hilla continued to say, "When Hilla gives birth, I will definitely tell you. But you don’t have to come back. One month after that, Mom and I will go over to visit you whenever you miss us."

...

Even if Hilla didn’t promise, she and Orlenna would go to visit Margaret when she gave birth.

After all, it was Margaret’s first child. They would love to be there with her in Far City.

Not assured, Margaret looked Orlenna and asked, "Is it true?"

She was afraid they told her that just to comfort her and wouldn’t take it seriously.

Seeing that Orlenna really nodded in agreement, Margaret’s face eased a little. She held Hilla’s hand and was reluctant to leave.

"Hilla, we agreed that one month after Halle gives birth, you come to visit me."

Margaret was pregnant for the first time. Although she didn’t feel uncomfortable, as her belly grew bigger and the joy was gone, she began to feel more and more worried.

She didn’t know what to do. What if there was an accident? What should she do?

Knowing Margaret was worried, Hilla nodded and comforted, "Don’t worry. We promise. We will definitely go."

Orlenna sighed and pulled away Margaret’s hand, "How old are you? Quit dilly-dallying. Hurry! He has been waiting for you all the time."

She referred to Julian, who had been silent in the car all this time.

The man pursed his lips and the car started.

Margaret put her head out of the window and looked at Hilla with reluctance.

"You must remember to come and visit me one month after Hilla gives birth. I will wait for you."

Her voice was so loud that Hilla was a little embarrassed.

Others would think it was Hilla that would give birth.

Orlenna was about to scold Margaret angrily, but she stopped when she saw Julian pull her into the car. Orlenna sighed in relief.

However, she could not help but complain, "She’s going to be a mother, but still like a child."

Hilla understood that Orlenna was worried about Margaret. She said with a smile, "She is pregnant for the first time. She must be hoping that you can stay with her. Why don’t you go to Far City to accompany her in a few days?"

"Why should I accompany her? She is not a child. Why should a mother stay with her daughter from the time when she is pregnant till birth? There is no such thing.

Margaret is too willful."

Then Orlenna turned around and went back to the room.

Hilla sighed, looking at the leaving car.

She knew that Orlenna was worried, even she, who had no blood relation with Margaret, felt sorry to let her go.

The rules of the Jorgansen family were complicated. Even if Margaret was from the Anderson family, now that Margaret was pregnant, she was easy to get hurt.

Margaret was afraid that not everyone in the Jorgansen family was happy to hear about the news of her pregnancy.

Halle gave birth a few days earlier than her due date.

Unexpectedly, Halle felt something unusual and was taken to the hospital in a hurry.

Hearing the news, Hilla hurried to the hospital in a panic.

Orlenna grabbed her and said, "Don’t worry. Don’t panic. Remember, Horton is the father of the child. He is also a doctor. He will be the first one to protect Halle.

Hearing Orlenna’s words, Hilla calmed down.

She pursed her lips and nodded seriously.

Although this was not Halle’s first child, she had an unexpected premature birth when giving birth to Emily. Afterward, it took quite a long time for Halle to recover.

Now Halle gave birth to the second child a little earlier than the due date, Hilla couldn’t help feeling worried.

Bruce drove her to the hospital. On the way, Hilla pursed her lips and remained silent.

With a stiff face, she looked at the front of the car all the time, thinking how painful Halle must be.

A warm hand touched the back of her hand.

Hilla turned to look at Bruce in surprise.

In his dark eyes was the reflection of her nervous face.

She looked pale and her hair was a little messy. Hilla was embarrassed.

Bruce told her, "Don’t worry. If something happened, Horton would sound different."

Hilla heaved a sigh of relief and remembered Horton’s calm voice when he called her.

Feeling a little more relaxed, she turned around and grabbed his hand, fingers interlocking with his, "I know. I’m just...too nervous."

From the day the Holt family went bankrupt, she lost all her family members and

only had Halle with her.

They depended on each other for support. Even though both of them had their own families and children, Hilla knew that they were still the closest family members in the world.

That was because they were from the same family.

"Here we are. Let’s get off."

Bruce’s voice brought her back into reality.

Hilla was so nervous just now that she didn’t realize that they had already arrived at the hospital entrance.

Hilla hurriedly got off the car.

Before she arrived, Horton had already sent her a message.

Hilla went straight to the operation room, only to find that it was over and now Halle and the baby were in the ward.

It was a son. Mother and baby both were doing well!

These were the most beautiful words Hilla had ever heard in her life.

"She is fine!"

Excitedly, Hilla turned to look at Bruce and threw herself into his arms.

Great! She had another family member in this world.

Her eyes were wet with tears.

At the same time, she felt so happy.

She and Bruce walked to the ward. Hilla was almost running.

Standing at the ward, she was about to open the door when Bruce stopped her.

Before she could speak, Bruce made a silencing gesture at her.

Hilla blinked a few times, then followed Bruce’s eyes and saw the picture in the door.

Halle was lying on the bed. Horton stood at the side, still wearing a doctor’s overcoat. He bent down talking to Halle. While there was a little baby in his arms.

Although Halle was weak, the smile on her face was bright.

Looking at the little baby in Horton’s arms, the corners of her mouth curved into a smile.

Hilla had never seen Halle so beautiful. The whole family was bathed in warm light.

Emily stood by the bed, her small body struggling and clumsily leaning against the bed as if she wanted to see her younger brother.

A family of four, quiet and warm.

Bruce reminded her, "Let’s wait."

At this time, it was not suitable for them to enter and disturb the union of the family.

Although Hilla was worried about Halle, she didn’t push the door open this time.

Hilla carefully closed the door and followed Bruce to wait in the corridor.

Bruce lowered his head and saw Hilla in front of him. She was covering her mouth and her eyes were red. Tears rolled down her cheek.

She was afraid that if she might make a sound and alarm the people inside the room.

She could not control herself. She knew that Halle lived a quiet life and she was happy for her.

There was a sound from the door. Horton came out with Emily. He seemed to know that Hilla and Bruce had arrived.

Before Horton opened his mouth, Emily held Hilla’s hand and said, "Hilla, Mom gave birth to a little brother. He is so ugly and cute!"
