Chapter 252: Whom Would You Save?
Thea noticed how Jeru was in a good mood lately. It was as though he was the one with the symptoms of the first trimester of pregnancy. He had mood swings. Sometimes he was hot, and sometimes he was cold.
She also received a call from Jeru’s assistant who inquired about her preferred color and design for the room she would share with Jeru. She was happy to know that Jeru had put effort into making sure that the new bedroom was according to her liking.
However, she was a bit nervous about meeting her father-in-law soon. She did not buy anything special as gifts at all. According to Chin, in all of his interviews, whenever he was asked about what kind of present he would like to receive from others, Senior Liu always maintained the principle of ’It’s the thought that counts.’ He preferred to receive simple gifts as long as it came from the giver’s heart.
For instance, he would appreciate to eat a good meal that someone specially cooked for him instead of receiving an expensive yet thoughtless gifts. He already had everything he needed, so why would he need, for example, another pricey wristwatch?
He always answered this kind of interview question lightheartedly, but Jeru confirmed that his dad indeed admired those with excellent cooking skills. Thea saw this as a good opportunity for her to please her father-in-law because if there was one thing that she could be proud of, it was her natural-born cooking skill, as Auntie Sheila had always told her. On top of that, she learned a lot of great recipes from her.
Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of a message notification from her phone. She smiled to see it was Jeru.
[I have instructed them to transform the other room into a nursery. Tell me when you’re free, so we can go and buy baby things together.]
She let out a soft laugh. ’Already? But we don’t even know the gender of our baby yet...’ she thought. But the message made her excited, and she was feeling that familiar tingling sensation in her heart again. It made her smile from ear to ear.
She contemplated whether to tease him because it seemed like he was in a hurry to shop for some stuff for their baby. But in the end, she only sent him her schedule.
