NovelEnglishChapter 235 After a while, I fell asleep amid Theo's light snoring.

He reached out and touched my nose with a smile, saying, "You fell into a deeper sleep than me. Aren't you hungry?" I shook my head. I had a hard tturning over my body. It was hurting so much that I was clenching my jaw. "What's wrong?" He looked worried and quickly helpedup gently.
"It's nothing. It's probably because I slept too long. My waist is sore." I reached out to my back and massaged it gently.

"The book stated that a mother would suffer from cramps and a sore back in their late pregnancy. And it's probably because of a lack of calcium, or it's caused by a lack of other micronutrients in the body. I'll have to check the book to make sure." "Not likely. I'm taking folate and other supplements that were given by the doctor every day." "Then it must be a lack of exercise. Why don't I sign you up for prenatal yoga? I'll accompany you to class every day." "Never mind. I don't want to get tortured every day." He frowned. "Then I'll ask the yoga instructor to cover."

He stopped what he was doing. Then, he pulledinto his arms. The corners of his lips were lifted, and his eyebrows were slightly raised. "Are you showing concern for me?" "Yes. You've been working hard. And having Cecilia besideis enough," I put on a serious face and said i na sincere tone.
He raised his eyebrows and stared atfor a while. He said, "It's near your labor date. I'm leaving the work to the rest of them. I'll just accompany you at home." Then, he took his phone out and was ready to make a call.
I pressed on his hands hurriedly. "Don't. You'd better g o to work so you can support the baby. You can accompanyevery day after you get off work." He sighed, smiled bitterly, and said, "You're insisting that I go to work just because you're afraid I can't support the baby?" I replied rightfully, "Of course. I've already lost my job. If you don't work, all of us will starve!"
I paused for a moment and continued, "Theo, what I said is true.
Just go to work with pe with If both of us stickpeace of mind.
If both of us stick together 24 hours a day, we'll be fighting every day. We'll only end up hurting each other's feelings!" That was the reason why I was afraid. Seeing each other from morning till night would make us fight at any time.
