Sterling Norwood heard Selena Kensington’s words and slightly frowned.

Shopping?

Selena Kensington was now over two months pregnant, and her belly was showing a little.

Sterling Norwood was a bit worried about her going to crowded places.

"Your belly..."

After hesitating for a moment, Sterling Norwood spoke.

Selena Kensington rolled her eyes, "Stop it."

"It’s only been a little over two months, who can tell? This only shows because I’ve been eating too much lately and gained weight!"

Otherwise, how could her belly be showing already!

At first, when the people at the main residence offered her various nourishing soups, Selena Kensington resisted.

Sometimes she even felt like throwing up just at the sight of them.

But later, the chef at the main residence started preparing various dishes for her.

And they were all not too greasy, so after a few days, Selena Kensington succumbed.

Simply put, she didn’t bother dwelling on it much and just let her belly be.

The result was that her belly grew quite a bit of flesh.

"..."

Sterling Norwood thought carefully and realized it was indeed true.

Selena Kensington’s appetite had really improved lately.

Having heard this, Sterling Norwood had no choice but to agree.

After all, he knew he couldn’t keep Selena Kensington confined to the main residence forever.

Otherwise, if she felt uncomfortable, it would be him who’d suffer in the end.

"Let Hope Norwood come to pick you up."

Though Sterling Norwood agreed to let Selena Kensington go out, he still arranged protection for her in secret.

And Hope Norwood was the person accompanying her openly.

Selena Kensington nodded, "Okay."

After that, Selena Kensington replied to Vivian Sutton’s message. Once they agreed on a time and place, Selena Kensington ended the video call with Sterling Norwood and went indoors to change clothes.

When Selena Kensington walked out of the main residence, she saw Hope Norwood already waiting with the car at the main gate.

Hope Norwood paused for a moment when she saw Selena Kensington.

Selena Kensington had previously maintained her figure very well, with hardly an ounce of excess flesh on her belly.

But now she was wearing a loose chiffon long dress, with a slight bulge at her belly.

Seeing Selena Kensington approaching, Hope Norwood instinctively asked, "Madam, your belly..."

She hadn’t seen Selena Kensington for just over a week, how could her belly start showing already?

Selena Kensington waved her hand, "Been eating too much, gained weight."

"..."

Hope Norwood froze for a second after getting the response.

Then she opened the car door for Selena Kensington, letting her sit inside.

Once Selena Kensington was seated, Hope Norwood then got in and started the car to leave.

"Madam, where are we going?"

Hope Norwood asked.

"Shopping Paradise."

Selena Kensington answered her.

This was the place she and Vivian Sutton agreed upon, and also where they frequently went shopping.

Shopping Paradise covers a large area.

Each floor has specialized product sales, catering to the needs of customers for shopping.

Plus, it’s not the weekend now, there isn’t much of a crowd.

That’s why they chose this location.

"Alright."

Hope Norwood focused on driving once she knew the answer.

By the time Selena Kensington and Hope Norwood arrived at Shopping Paradise, it had already been an hour.

Actually, it didn’t take long to get from the main residence to the city center, but due to the number of vehicles and traffic lights in the city center, it took quite some time.

Once Selena Kensington arrived, she messaged Vivian Sutton.

Selie Stays Slim: I’m at the parking lot, where are you?

Vivian Sutton likely arrived a bit earlier than her.

Micro Heart Despises Poverty: I’m at the dessert stand beside the main entrance.

Selie Stays Slim: I’m coming.

After finishing, Selena Kensington put away her phone and got out of the car with Hope Norwood.

When Selena Kensington walked over, she saw Vivian Sutton lining up in front of the dessert stand.

"Over here!"

Vivian Sutton waved her hand at Selena Kensington upon seeing her.

Selena Kensington saw that Vivian Sutton had no disguise whatsoever and raised an eyebrow.

Vivian Sutton had now become a public figure, yet she went out without any disguise.

But that was typical of Vivian Sutton; she didn’t have the energy for such things.

If she disguised herself, she’d probably end up being annoyed by it.

Imagining that scene, Selena Kensington was amused.

She walked over, "Are you buying ice cream cones?"

Looking at the dessert stand’s sign, Selena Kensington felt her appetite piqued.

Since being pregnant, she seldom ate those chilled foods.

Sterling Norwood only allowed her to have some yogurt.

And it wasn’t even that cold.

Vivian Sutton saw the look in her eyes and understood, "...How long has it been since you ate one?"

Selena Kensington shrugged, "A long time, A.J. doesn’t let me eat."

"But I checked, and occasionally having some should be fine..."

She spoke while giving Vivian Sutton a meaningful look.

"..."

Vivian Sutton cautiously took a few steps back, "Don’t try to hint at me!"

"I dare not let you eat, your husband wouldn’t spare me!"

Upon hearing that, Selena Kensington’s mouth twitched slightly.

"If I don’t say anything and you don’t say anything, isn’t that fine?"

Vivian Sutton was a bit speechless; she glanced at Hope Norwood behind Selena Kensington.

"Did you forget you have someone following you?"

"..."

Selena Kensington turned and glanced at Hope Norwood behind her.

"Ahem!"

She cleared her throat lightly.

Hope Norwood, receiving her signal, paused her gaze.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she tactfully turned her head slightly aside, no longer watching Selena Kensington and Vivian Sutton.

Selena Kensington turned her head back with satisfaction, slightly raising her chin at Vivian Sutton.

"..."

Vivian Sutton gave her a thumbs up.

After that, Vivian Sutton indeed bought two ice cream cones.

Each of them took an ice cream cone and walked into Shopping Paradise.

"Oh my, so this is what an ice cream cone tastes like..."

The cold and sweet taste entered her mouth, and Selena Kensington couldn’t help but exclaim.

She seemed not to have eaten an ice cream cone for a long time and felt quite deprived.

Now, after taking a bite, she spoke dramatically.

Vivian Sutton glanced at her speechlessly.

"You’re acting like this isn’t your first time eating one."

Selena Kensington shrugged, "It’s been so long since I had one; I forgot how it tasted!"

"...Looks like you were really deprived."

Vivian Sutton looked at her with sympathy.

Selena Kensington laughed and glanced at her, "By the way, what are we going to shop for?"

Although Selena Kensington was called out by Vivian Sutton, she really didn’t know what to shop for.

Vivian Sutton thought for a while, her eyes scanned the surroundings, and finally looked at Selena Kensington’s belly.

"How about looking at baby products?"

She suddenly suggested.

Selena Kensington was a bit surprised, but seeing Vivian Sutton’s expression, she understood.

She laughed and spoke, "Oh, planning to be a godmother already?"

Vivian Sutton slightly rolled her eyes, not refuting Selena Kensington’s words.

Instead, she linked arms with Selena Kensington, "Come on, let’s just prepare in advance for my godson or goddaughter."

Seeing Vivian Sutton so enthusiastic, Selena Kensington couldn’t help but feel tempted.

Even though it seemed a bit early to look at these things.

But it wasn’t bad to look in advance.

She really didn’t know what babies needed.

Thus, Selena Kensington followed Vivian Sutton to the floor dedicated to mother and baby products.
