C87 Our Child Is Only Few Weeks Away

Her pregnancy was entering its final stage. The delivery date drew closer with every passing day.

Unable to eat much, she simply drank water while everyone else continued dinner. Soon the meal ended.

Everyone returned to their rooms.

When Ben and Samantha entered their bedroom, Ben immediately spoke. “You said we would discuss something tonight.” Samantha nodded. “I remember.”

Then she looked at him. “I still don’t understand why you’re rushing all these wedding plans.” “Our child is due in only four weeks."

There was genuine confusion in her voice. After a brief pause, she spoke again. “Can we not go to the Kite Flying Day event?”

Ever since the Year-End Function, Samantha had hated large gatherings. Crowds reminded her of everything she wanted to forget.

Ben immediately shook his head. “No.” He spoke without hesitation. “Our baby needs fresh air.” He placed a hand on her shoulder. “You need fresh air too.” “We’re going.” Samantha remained silent.

Seeing that she was still reluctant, Ben continued. “Besides, Kite Flying Day isn’t very popular.” “There won’t be many people there.” “Just a few families and children.”

As expected, Samantha’s expression softened slightly. Ben noticed immediately. A satisfied smile appeared on his face. His little trick had worked.

Samantha finally nodded. “Fine.” The answer delighted him far more than he showed.

Not long afterward, the lights were turned off. Both of them lay in the same room. Yet neither of them shared the same thoughts.

Samantha stared quietly into the darkness. Thinking about the past. Thinking about Mike. Thinking about the child she was about to bring into the world.

Beside her, Ben slowly closed his eyes. A different thought occupied his mind. Kite Flying Day. Another opportunity had presented itself. And this time, he intended to make full use of it.
