Ch 466: Pregnancy Can Be Boring, But It’s All Out Of Love From The Family

If Phia had any unhappiness during her pregnancy, it was that she couldn’t drink tea like before.

“Hmm, I want to drink tea, but after drinking it, I easily have to go to the toilet, and it’s inconvenient for me to squat down. I’m so sad.”

At this time, Phia was already five months pregnant. She leaned against Bal, and although she still had a girlish figure, her face had a touch of a wife’s temperament.

“Bear with it.”

Bal rubbed Phia’s head. When Phia was unhappy, Bal would rub her like this, and she would quickly become happy.

“And I can’t drink alcohol. At dinner, watching you and Grey drink makes me crave it too.”

“You can’t drink alcohol during pregnancy. It’s bad for the baby.”

“I know, that’s why I’ve been enduring it.”

“Then it seems I should quit drinking too.”

“Really? Can you quit?”

“My wife is suffering, if I’m still so irresponsible, it wouldn’t be good.”

“Hmm, good husband~”

Phia during pregnancy was clingier than before. As long as Bal was home, she would have Bal come to her side and let her lean on him, and Bal was also happy to do so. Despite his busy schedule, Bal would still make time each day to accompany Phia and Philia. Coincidentally, Philia was coming home from school now.

“Father, Mommy, Philia is back.”

Hearing Philia’s voice, Bal couldn’t get up easily, he turned his head to look at Philia.

“You’re back. Do you want to come and keep Mommy company?”

“Okay!”

With Philia back, Xiao Jiu would come down from upstairs. While Philia was at school, Xiao Jiu would rest in the living room, but since Phia was pregnant, Xiao Jiu worried that she would affect Phia, so she decided to sleep in Philia’s room while Philia was at school, only coming down to eat.

“Ah, Xiao Jiu!”

Philia hugged Xiao Jiu, who pounced on her, then she put her schoolbag on the small sofa and sat down with Xiao Jiu beside Phia.

“Mommy’s belly, is it a brother or a sister?”

Philia curiously stared at Phia’s belly. After Bal told Philia about Phia’s pregnancy, Philia was very happy. She was happy because besides the pet at home, she finally had a new playmate. Although Xiao Jiu was a little unhappy at first, she later figured it out: if there was a child, she wouldn’t be the youngest in the house anymore. And Philia also promised not to neglect Xiao Jiu, only then did Xiao Jiu become satisfied.

“I don’t know yet. We have to wait another five months to find out.”

Phia caressed her belly. She could feel the baby moving inside.

“Philia, do you hope it’s a brother or a sister?”

Bal asked Philia. Since Phia was leaning in his arms, Bal couldn’t touch his daughter.

“Philia hopes it’s a sister, so Philia can sleep with her sister!”

“Hahaha, did you hear that, little darling? Your older sister really likes you, you know.”

Phia said to the baby in her belly, then she continued to ask Philia.

“What if it’s a brother?”

“It’s okay! Philia will take good care of her brother then.”

“Philia is amazing. Come, let Mommy touch you.”

Philia walked to Phia with Xiao Jiu, and Phia directly hugged Philia and began to knead Philia’s little face. It has to be said that Philia was seven or eight years old, and her face was still so soft and tender.

After Philia sat down beside Phia, she reached out and touched Phia’s belly.

“Little darling, be good.”

After touching, Philia stood up, she shouldered her schoolbag and hugged Xiao Jiu preparing to go upstairs.

“Philia is going to do her homework.”

“Okay, remember to come down for dinner.”

“Yeah!”

At dinner, Bal announced something at the dinner table.

“From today on, I plan to quit drinking for seven months!”

“Huh? Older Brother, what happened to you?”

Nia looked at Bal curiously. Having lived with Bal for so long, she knew that preventing Bal from drinking was more difficult than killing him.

“No, no, it’s just that Phia is pregnant, and seeing us drink makes her want to drink too. For the sake of the child, I plan to wait until the child is born and past the breastfeeding period before drinking again.”

“What about the wine at home?”

“Of course, we’ll keep it. Grey, I remember that the bottle of wine I gave you when you got married isn’t finished yet, right?”

Grey nodded. He understood Bal’s meaning.

“There’s still a lot left.”

“That’s good. After the child is past the breastfeeding period, let’s all drink that bottle of wine together as a family.”

“Sounds good.”

At this time, Yselle raised her hand, indicating that she had an idea. Bal was amused by Yselle’s innocence, and he also pretended to be a teacher calling on her.

“Yselle, is there something you want to say?”

“Why don’t we start making wine now, and take it out to drink when Miss Phia’s child is old enough to drink? The taste will surely be great by then!”

“Good idea! Reward for Yselle, a little red flower!”

“Hee hee hee.”

“Then Nia, tomorrow you and Xiaoyue go to Rea’s place and see if there are any grapes for winemaking. If there are, buy the best kind.”

“Yes! Mission will be completed!”

Xiaoyue asked worriedly.

“Master, what if there aren’t any?”

“If not, go to Orton. The shopkeeper there should be able to acquire some.”

“Okay.”

After instructing Xiaoyue and Nia, Bal looked at Grey.

“Grey, tomorrow let’s go collect some wood. We’ll have to make our own wine barrels for winemaking.”

“No problem!”

At this time, Yselle and Philia raised their hands together.

“What about me, what about me!”

“Father, is there anything Philia can do?”

“Hmm, let me think.”

Bal took a sip of soup and started to think. Phia came up with an idea.

“How about Yselle and Philia help me make some small toys for the baby? It’s all Bal’s fault, he doesn’t let me do anything, I want to make some small toys for the baby, but I can’t.”

“Okay! Leave it to us, we will definitely make the most fun toys, right, Philia?”

“Yeah!”

“What about Ken and me? We still have to work.”

Ken had moved in, and Selena sat beside him. They had confirmed their relationship and planned to get married after Phia gave birth and the baby’s full moon, which would be a double celebration.

“As for you two… oh, I remember. You two prepare the things for the baby’s grasping ceremony.”

“Grasping ceremony?”

“It’s a custom on the child’s first birthday. The child is placed among a pile of things, and whichever the child likes, they’ll be nurtured in that direction. But this is a superstition from my side, when the child grows up, they’ll still choose according to their own will.”

“Oh, that sounds interesting. Leave it to us.”

After giving all the instructions, Bal raised his cup filled with juice.

“Cheers!”

“May Phia’s child be born safely!”

“May Mommy give birth to a healthy baby!”

“Wishing Sister-in-law a happy birth of a son!”

Amidst cheers, everyone drank the juice.
