Chapter 281: The Best Of Both Worlds
As for the reason, she was powerless to complain.
Sometimes, she would inexplicably feel sleepy as she wrote, and the bed was right beside her, warm and comfortable. She couldn’t resist the temptation at all, and often put down her work and went to sleep.
Moreover, she would always sleep for a long time. When she woke up and remembered that the draft was incomplete, her mind had been already interrupted.
She could only start from the beginning.
Sometimes, it was because of Christopher.
Speaking of him, Janice was flustered. She didn’t know what was wrong with him.
She had been staying at home alone, but he insisted on working at home too.
As a result, things got worse.
Sometimes, he would send her food and drink, and sometimes he would massage her shoulders and back, for fear that she would be tired.
She seemed to have become a fool. Her mind was blank and she couldn’t write anything.
Hearing out her complaints, Yvonne couldn’t help chuckling and said, "Then you might as well rest at home. It’s very tiring in the latter stages of pregnancy."
Janice shook her head. "I don’t want to. If I idle at home all day, I’ll go crazy. I’d like to work."
"A superwoman, huh?" Yvonne said.
Janice shook her head again. She said, "I don’t have to be a superwoman. I just don’t want to lose contact with society, so I want to do something, even if it’s just writing at home."
Yvonne totally understood her apprehension.
In today’s society, many women had to temporarily leave society and return to their small families in order to give birth to children.
Some of them could still come out to work, they did not fail their families and they did not lose their careers.
But that was a minority.
Most of them would never be able to come out again once they went back.
They were trapped in the so-called "home" cage and repeated the same thing year after year.
Although they could choose to leave their homes and return to society...
But when that day comes, they would be shocked to realize that they’ve already lost
contact with society and could no longer keep up with the times.
Some even lost themselves and became accessories for the family. They no longer had the ability to be independent.
Some even had to face the betrayal of the other half.
Even common women were like this, let alone Janice.
She had a different family background from others.
Her other half was outstanding and was the best among men.
He was also a target that many women flocked to.
Thus, it was understandable that she would have such considerations.
Yvonne thought about her own mother. If her mother had such concerns as Janice, she wouldn’t have ended like that.
She couldn’t help but sigh. Her mood was low.
If her mother was still alive today, would her family be so eager to want her get married to exchange benefits?
The answer must be no.
She turned her head and met James’s gaze. She frowned and looked away.
James noticed the gloomy look on her face and asked, "What are you guys talking about? Why do you seem more and more troubled?"
When Christopher heard James’s words, he slowly raised his head and looked at Janice. He frowned and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Looking at her husband, Janice quickly shook her head and said, "Nothing, we just chatted for a while."
She didn’t want him to know what was bothering her recently.
....
"Oh, why aren’t you ordering anything? I’m hungry."
Janice changed the subject.
Christopher chuckled. "I’ve already made the arrangements."
Janice glanced at the menu in his hand. "Then why are you still looking at the menu?"
Christopher said, "This is a new menu from the hotel’s newly poached main chef. Today, I specially came here to test his cooking. What do you want to eat?"
Christopher handed over the menu.
Janice reached out to receive it, but only glanced at it briefly before returning it. "You decide, you know that I hate ordering the most."
Christopher chuckled. "Then I’ll decide."
Janice nodded. She turned to look at Yvonne, only to find that James was eagerly introducing the menu to her.
Looking at the two of them, she felt that they were quite a good match.
But she didn’t know if James was really reliable.
Not long after, a waiter served the dishes.
Janice lacked interest in the food served.
She had never liked to eat in such big hotels. Except for the good environment and beautiful food, it seemed that there were no other advantages.
Of course, the most important reason was that it was expensive.
A meal usually cost more than ten thousand dollars, which was several months’ worth of her salary.
However, when an exquisite crab dish was placed on the table, Janice couldn’t help but smack her lips.
She loved crabs the most. However, she had not eaten much ever since she was pregnant.
Her nutritionist said pregnant women should not eat too much crabs.
Therefore, she hadn’t eaten it for a long time.
At this moment, as she gazed at the glistening crab, Janice was a bit tempted.
Christopher had already taken note of how greedy she looked.
In fact, he ordered this dish for her on purpose.
The reason why he knew that she had been craving crabs was two days ago, when he accompanied her to the supermarket, he accidentally found that she lingered by the crab tank for a long time.
At that time, he thought that she was just curious about the struggle between the crabs.
It was not until that night that he accidentally heard her muttering about crabs, that he realized her craving.
So, the next day, he specially asked the nanny to buy crabs, but was stopped by the nutritionist.
At that time, out of consideration for her health, he did as the nutritionist instructed.
However, he accidentally saw some health news in the morning, and he called an obstetrics and gynecology specialist to confirm that crabs could be eaten in moderation.
He got the green light, so now, he specially ordered crabs.
"Do you want to eat?"
Christopher asked deliberately.
Janice nodded repeatedly. "Yes."
She wanted to grab one and gorge herself silly on it.
However, that would be too unbecoming of her, she should be more reserved.
Looking at her shy and embarrassed look, Christopher could not help but chuckle. "Wait."
With that, he held the crab tools in one hand and crab in the other and began to operate them skillfully.
It didn’t take long before the peeled crab meat reached Janice’s mouth.
She took a bite. She finally got to eat the food she had been longing for, and her face was filled with satisfaction.
Seeing that she was eating happily, Christopher’s mood also became joyful.
He was responsible for peeling the meat, and she was responsible for eating, and it was a sweet sight.
James could feel the sweetness from across the table. He couldn’t help glancing at Yvonne beside him.
