A Love Trap
Chapter 801 Cynthia's Dull Life As A Pregnant Woman

Chloe came to the villa that Cynthia had moved into and knocked on the door.

It did not take much time before a servant came to open the door for her. "Welcome, Miss Chloe," the servant greeted.

Chloe nodded and walked in, "Is Cynthia here?"

"Yes, she's currently complaining about how boring her life is. Your presence is a breath of fresh air." The servant invited Chloe in as she beamed.

"Hi, Cynthia. I'm here. How are you doing?"

The moment Chloe entered the villa, she saw Cynthia who was trimming her green plants. She ran quickly to her.

"Ah, Chloe! It's so nice to see you today."

Cynthia looked ecstatic at Chloe's unexpected visit.

Ever since Cynthia got pregnant, she had been treated by Zen as if she were a porcelain doll. For the sake of her health, Zen would not allow her to go out. She had been confined to the villa like a prisoner.

There were times when she could no longer endure the boredom staying in the villa, and Zen would put his work aside to go out and have some fun with her.

There was one time when Cynthia had gone out to relieve her boredom with two servants, and something unexpected happened.

She was almost hit by a car. Since then, she had to be accompanied by Zen every time she went out. Otherwise, she couldn't leave the villa.

Moreover, Zen had never felt at ease entrusting Cynthia to the servants since that incident.

Although the yard around villa was big enough for Cynthia to take a walk around, it was not an easy thing to stay in the villa all the time.

Chloe looked at Cynthia's belly with curiosity and asked, "May I touch your belly, Cynthia?"

Cynthia smiled and spoke gently, "Of course."

Chloe then put her hand on Cynthia's stomach. She felt something novel when her hand made contact with Cynthia's skin.

Her swollen belly meant she had been pregnant for almost two months.

Curiosity had seized Chloe's mind. "Have you been feeling any different since you found out you were pregnant?"

Cynthia answered after a brief thought. "As far as I can tell, there isn't much difference. But it's said that some pregnant women are easily susceptible to stomach satiety, vomiting, and having difficulty eating. Some even have worse adverse reactions. But I haven't had a problem. Perhaps it's because I have an obedient baby."

Cynthia put her hand on her belly gently and stared at it fondly as she answered.

"Really?" Chloe asked again as she stared at Cynthia's belly.

"Here's your drink, Miss Chloe."

A servant put a glass of milk in front of Chloe.

"Why milk?" Chloe asked, puzzled.

"Since I got pregnant, Zen hasn't allowed me to eat or drink like I used to. For drinks, I can only have water or milk. Sorry to put you in such inconvenience."

Chloe waved her hand casually and said, "It doesn't matter. I was just curious why I was suddenly served milk. I thought you've forgotten my taste as I haven't come to visit you for a long time." She did not expect that pregnancy had so many restrictions. The servant left them as they continued to chat freely.

At first, the servant was a little confused when she heard Chloe call Cynthia her sister.

After all, Chloe was Ashley's close friend. Why did she call Cynthia, sister?

That was because Cynthia looked much younger than her real age. It would make her seem older if Chloe called her aunt.

Even Ashley and Cynthia were satisfied with this appellation.

There was nothing more to it.

However, sometimes, Chloe would joke with Ashley that she was one generation older than her because of how differently she addressed Cynthia.

But it was a joke.

Chloe spent the whole afternoon in the villa with Cynthia. She even joined Cynthia outside to trim some flowers and plants. That was what Cynthia's life was now.

Many women wished to have such an easy, carefree lifestyle.

Although she was pregnant and could only stay in this villa, she could go out in the yard anytime she wanted.

While eating dinner, Chloe found herself not accustomed to the food at all.

She liked spicy food and strong flavors. To put it bluntly, she and Ashley had the same taste in food.

But the dinner table was filled with nothing but nutritious food, and almost all of them were soup. She had a hard time trying to eat any of them.

Seeing that Cynthia was eating everything on the table with great gusto, Chloe wondered whether they were actually yummy.

With some suspicion, Chloe picked up some dish that was closest to her and put it into her mouth. It was light, nutritious, but it was not suitable for a person like Chloe. Eventually, Chloe finished her dinner in low spirits.

Not long after, she left promising that she would visit Cynthia again very soon.

Cynthia saw her off with a smile.

Just as Chloe left, Zen arrived. Seeing that Cynthia was in a good mood, he felt relieved.

But he was surprised to see the servants cleaning up two sets of tableware. "You had a guest today?"

"Not a guest. It was Chloe. She accompanied me for the whole afternoon."

Holding Cynthia in his arms, Zen promised, "I'm not going to work tomorrow. Wherever you want to go, I'll take you there."

The doctor had told him it was better for a pregnant woman to walk for her baby's health. So every weekend, Zen would take Cynthia out to have some fun.

But he sounded like he was asking a kid.

Cynthia smiled and did not push him away. "I'm not a child. I'm not interested in playing," she said.

Zen put his hand on Cynthia's belly and said, "Well, I didn't say you were, did I? Honey, how about we go out to play with our child tomorrow?"

This time, Cynthia agreed with a smile.00
