Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia)
Chapter 1056

Reaching out her hand, Lauren stroked Tutu's head.

"Tutu, you're going to be a mother, you know that? Even if you weren't born as some noble dog breed, I will raise you as the most precious pet, because you're my Tutu..."

She wasn't sure if it was because she was pregnant that she became sentimental, but Lauren always felt that she saw herself in Tutu. They were both of the same less-than-agreeable background, without any glamorous appearance to speak of, and even bonded by the same helpless encounter and fate. As Lauren scooped some of the special dog food for pregnant dogs, she fed it to Tutu. "Yet, you're lucky, because you met me!"

At least, she could give Tutu a safe home.

It was uncomfortable for Lauren to bend over with her pregnant belly. Soon, she was standing straight again. Then, a hand reached out to help. "Okay, one look is enough! I won't abuse your silly Tutu. Go back and rest!" "Don't say that about my Tutu, my dog is the smartest!"

Lauren pouted with some displeasure. Tutu, that rarely barked, seemed to have understood their conversation and surprisingly yelped, "Woof, woof..."

For the first time, Lauren could sense animosity from Tutu as she followed its gaze, which was directed towards Willy.

In an instant, she froze for a few seconds. Was Tutu trying to protect her?

Seeing the dog grabbed onto the frame of the cage, Tutu snarled at Willy with its sharp eyes and its paws were out. Lauren was deeply touched suddenly. "Down, Tutu, be good!"

Her Tutu was not silly! Dogs, indeed, had a strong connection to humans!

Lauren added a little more dog food for Tutu and then stroked its fur. Instantly, Tutu quieted down, hidden its paws and lay down. It looked especially well behaved!

At the moment, Willy was touched by the interaction between them as well. However, he pulled her up again. "All right now, you can't be too headstrong! Animals have germs on them after all..." "Okay!" Lauren nodded, then retracted her hand. She waved at Tutu. "Tutu, you have to behave yourself. I'll see you some other time!"

That day, the two of them had dinner together and Lauren even stayed overnight at the villa! For her, it was just a change of place to sleep, so she wasn't fussy about it.

In the room, seeing how her belly had looked bigger after eating, Lauren felt that it looked a little out of place. After a quick rinse, she asked the maid to prepare a foot bath and hot water for her.

Sitting on the chair as she soaked her feet, Lauren felt really comfortable. She used to read books while she soaked her feet at her own place. However, since she was in a different place, she had nothing to do. She looked around and ended up slowly rubbing her belly, feeling the fetal movements coming from inside every now and then. Lauren occasionally couldn't help but to scream out.

"Oh my..."

"Baby, are you being naughty again? You also love foot baths, don't you? It's very comfortable, isn't it?"

Lauren murmured to herself. Habitually, she rubbed her feet against each other. After several attempts, her hands couldn't reach the tub, and she was afraid to bend too far forward and crushing her tummy. She glanced at her swollen feet and couldn't help feeling frustrated.

She even started having trouble washing her feet. How would she fare in the days to come?

Ten months of pregnancy was tough! A mother's love was truly the greatest in the world.

Willy finished his work and happened to see that as he came to the door, and as he took off his coat, he also just suddenly realized that her belly had grown so big!

Slowly stepping forward, Willy squatted down. "Why didn't you call for me?"

Willie lifted one of her feet, gently massaging and rinsing it. As he touched it, he noticed that her foot was visibly swollen.

Willy washing her feet was something Lauren hadn't even dared to imagine. For a moment, she was so shocked by him that she even forgot to react.

When she came back to her senses, Willy had already poured the dirty water away. He rinsed her feet again with warm water and dried her feet off.

For the first time, she looked at him from a different perspective. She saw in him the responsibility and tenderness of a man, and of a father. Her mouth parted, but didn't say anything.

After that, Willy saw that her toenails

were back to the normal color but was a bit long. So, he found a nail clipper and trimmed them for her He helped her onto a higher chair on the other side and took a thick cotton blanket to warm her feet. Then, he said,

"I'll take a shower first, then I'll help you back to bed to rest. Stay put!"

Then, Willy entered the bathroom. Lauren's gaze fell on the bathroom door in a daze. Her heart pounded as if it were about to leap out of her.

She was thinking if that was akin to the legendary treatment for queens in the Victorian era.

Curling up her small feet, Lauren was still a little in disbelief that a man like him would do such a thing! Her hand unconsciously went towards her belly again.

At least, he still admitted that the child was his, and he still cared for the baby!

In a trance, she heard the door creaking open slightly, and Willy walked out. He walked out of the room, and when he returned, he had some food and a glass of hot milk in his hands.

"Drink some milk before you go to bed! If there's anything you want to eat, I'll get them to prepare it in advance. If you get hungry in the middle of the night, the food will be all ready for you!"

Taking over the glass of milk, Lauren shook her head. "I'm very full, thank you. I'd better not bother you! Just a simple snack will be enough!"

She usually ate a little before going

to bed and rarely woke up hungry in the middle of the night. Even if she. did wake up, she would just eat small piece of bread and wash it down with some milk. However, since she was pregnant, she did sleep less soundly at night and got up significantly more often.

"It's no trouble at all. You can have whatever you want! This is..." It was her home, too!

As the words came to the tip of his tongue, Willy suddenly paused. Startled by his own thoughts that came to him so suddenly, he steered his words in another direction. "We have everything here, so please treat yourself!" No longer arguing, Lauren smiled and said, "Okay!"

Due to his unbidden thought that

route

came to him out of nowhere, his brain was a wreck. That night, Willy just could not sleep. Finally, a hint sleepiness came to him, but he suddenly felt a movement on his side. He opened his eyes to see Lauren turning on the bedside lamp. She was walking barefooted and was obviously unfamiliar

with the room as she turned around.

Willy thought she was hungry, so he turned on the light as well.

As soon as the room lit up, Lauren stopped walking. She spun around and said, "Did I wake you up? Don't worry about me, I'm just going to the bathroom!"

Although his service was not asked of, Willy still got out of bed and glanced at the clock subconsciously. It was 12:10 a.m.

Soon, Lauren yawned and walked out. Reaching out his hand, Willy helped her back to the bed and pulled the quilt over her. Her bleary eyes were obviously in a daze. Soon, Lauren murmured something and fell back to sleep. "Good night... sleep tight!"
