Diana burst out laughing at Cecilia’s question.
“Would you believe me if I said that I don’t know?”
Cecilia was stunned for a moment. “You dared to get pregnant again before thinking things through? Doesn’t the
internet advise you not to get pregnant before you think things through? What’s more, you’re carrying twins. Are
you really prepared to have four children all of a sudden?”
“Actually, sometimes, being muddleheaded is pretty good,” Diana said. She glanced at Cecilia before slowly shifting
her gaze to Fanny. “Being muddleheaded certainly feels better than thinking through every single thing.
“Sometimes, being happy is the most important thing in life.
“Thinking too much and too clearly often makes you obsessed.
“That would in turn make you feel less happy.
“What’s more…

“When you can accept something, you’ll be able to wait for it to happen naturally.”
Cecilia looked confused as she listened to Diana. Many of her life philosophies came from surfing the internet, and
she had never experienced any for herself. Living vicariously from what she saw online made up her so-called life
experience. In reality, only experiencing it for yourself will it feel real.
That was life.
Cecilia was clearly stuck in the theoretical phase, still thinking that everything was defined in black and white.
Alas, few things in life were so.
Fanny had richer experiences in life, and agreed with Diana. “You’re right.”
She listened to Diana, and didn’t eat the raw fish anymore. Like Diana, she only ate food that was cooked
thoroughly. Between the choice of fruit juice and red wine, she chose the former.
It seemed she cared a lot about her potential pregnancy.
“I never expected myself to be pregnant, certainly not at this point in time—until you suddenly said I might be. I was
a little resistant to the idea at the start, but now, I want to protect the baby inside me. I want to go home quickly
and do a pregnancy test.”
Fanny didn’t feel ready yet. Yet, somehow, the prospect of being a mother gave her joy.
The aroma of the food drifted into her nose. It comforted her, giving her great pleasure.
“Let’s quickly eat, then,” Diana said, feeling happy for Fanny. “We’ll send you back after we’re done.”
Cecilia nodded too. “Yes, both you and Diana have to be taken good care of. I’ll send you two home before going
back myself.”
“Don’t go home first,” Diana said.
She couldn’t forget about things between Cecilia and Noel. It sounded like Cecilia had gravely misunderstood Noel,
so she wanted to mediate things between them.
“I kept your bag and called Julian just now, asking him to prepare dinner. Stay for dinner before going home.”

She stuck her tongue out.
“In fact, she doesn’t even let me hang out with you. Whatever it is, she wants me to keep my distance from the
Fulchers. I think it’s probably because she’s not happy after my engagement with Julian ended on a sour note.”
If it weren’t for Fanny, Diana couldn’t invite Cecilia out for shopping, not to mention sitting here and having a meal
at a restaurant.
What Cecilia said made sense.
Diana didn’t find her rude for that. In fact, it made her like Cecilia even more. “That’s fine. We’ll have a chance to
meet again next time. We’ll avoid drawing your mom’s attention.”
Cecilia chuckled, and downed up her fruit juice in one gulp. “I agree!”
However, she added, “But! No Noel next time.”
She didn’t want to see him ever again.
“You don’t want to resolve your misunderstanding with him?” Diana asked.
