Chapter 509

Recently, Cynthia and Isabella found that they had gained quite bit of weight, which was unacceptable for these two beauty–conscious women. So, they decided to eat less in the evenings from now on

Liam, lacking experience, truly believed the two women and only planned a normal amount of food while cooking. To his surprise, these two women had such poor memory. While eating, they completely forgot what they had promised and indulged themselves at the dining table, leaving Liam and Anthony astounded.

In order to ensure that they were full, Liam and Anthony had to give them their own portions as well. After Cynthia and Isabella had eaten their fill, Liam and Anthony then started eating the remaining dinner.

“Cynthia, Izzy, Grandma’s here,” Jasmine’s voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Since Cynthia’s pregnancy, Jasmine visited every day, staying only briefly each time, leaving once she saw that Cynthia was well.

With that, Jasmine and David entered, supporting each other. She first greeted Cynthia and Isabella and then noticed the two men eating at the table. Immediately her expression changed, and she slapped Liam on the head.

“What’s going on? Did you go bankrupt? Why is there so little dinner? How is this enough for Cynthia?” Jasmine was worried. that Cynthia and Isabella would go hungry.

Hearing this, both Cynthia and Isabella lowered their heads in silence. They knew they were at fault, thinking they could resist eating less, only to replace their appetites difficult to control.

Liam was accustomed to Jasmine’s behavior and said without changing his expression after taking a bite, “Don’t worry, Cynthia has already finished eating. They ate first before we did.”

Upon hearing this, Jasmine blinked. She then looked at Cynthia and Isabella.

Cynthia quickly explained, “Grandma, we thought we had been eating too much these past few days and wanted to eat less at night. That’s why we had Liam make less dinner, but we couldn’t resist, so they ended up without any dish to eat.”

Understanding the situation, Jasmine’s expression softened, and she immediately reassured, “It’s okay. Actually, these leftover oils are quite nutritious; it’s not wasteful for them to eat. After saying this, she no longer paid attention to the two men at the table and took Isabella and Cynthia out for a walk.

As they walked, she said, “Both of you have babies in your bellies now, and it’s normal for your appetites to increase. If you’re worried about gaining weight, just eat less fatty meat and take a walk after meals.”

As Jasmine’s voice faded with the distance, Anthony finally snapped out of his shock and burst into laughter.

“Haha, I never imagined your status at home was like this.” Anthony laughed so hard that he had to hold his stomach with his hands, showing no signs of stopping.

Liam gave him a cold glance and sneered, “What’s so amusing? What matters most to me is that my family can get along harmoniously, something many envy. I’m happy about this, and you can never understand this feeling.”

After saying this, Liam quickly took two bites of food, got up, and headed upstairs, leaving behind, “I cooked the meal, the dishes are yours to wash.”

Upon hearing this, the smile on Anthony’s face quickly froze. Shouting at Liam’s retreating figure, he exclaimed, “Liam, are you so poor that you can’t afford a servant? Making me, your guest, wash the dishes.”

“I didn’t invite you to stay here, so you’re not really a guest.” Liam poked his head out at the top of the stairs and said sternly, “Besides, I pay my servants, why should I let you use them?” With that, Liam went to the study and slammed the door shut.

“If Izzy weren’t here, I wouldn’t even bother staying, Anthony ground his teeth tightly upstairs. After a moment, his face took on a more serious expression.

While he had just mocked Liam, it was true that many dreamt of having a relationship like Jasmine and David with Cynthia.

Even his own grandfather couldn’t achieve that with Isabella. Despite accepting Isabella after the previous incident, there was always a barrier between them, preventing them from being as close as true family.

Anthony let out a heavy sigh, shook his head in resignation, and went to the kitchen to tidy up the dishes and cutlery.

Meanwhile, Cynthia and Isabella continued their walk with Jasmine and David for half an hour. With the time getting late and Jasmine and David needing to catch a ride back, Cynthia and Isabella made their way back home. After seeing Jasmine and David off in the car, they each returned to their respective rooms.

The first thing Cynthia did upon entering her room was to take out the weighing scale. But upon seeing the numbers had gone up by another two pounds, she couldn’t help but exclaim, “Oh no, how did I gain weight again?”

Liam happened to return to the bedroom from the study at that moment, thinking there might have been an accident and hurriedly made his way back. Upon seeing him, Cynthia immediately pursed her lips, tears streaming down.

“Cynthia, why are you crying?” Liam quickly hugged her, full of concern. Cynthia buried her head in Liam’s chest, tears wetting his shirt. A person who never worried about her appearance now felt anxious about her looks.

“Darling, am I very ugly now?” Cynthia sobbed intermittently.

Liam promptly held Cynthia’s face in his hands like cradling a precious treasure, shaking his head, “No, you are still so beautiful, your skin looks even smoother than before.”

Liam had known from the time Cynthia first got pregnant that many women become sensitive and fragile under the influence of hormones during pregnancy. Coupled with changes in her body, if family members are not careful in guiding them, some pregnant women might even experience depression. So, when Liam heard Cynthia cry, he became very

anxious.

Cynthia seemed to not hear the man’s words, her mind preoccupied with the numbers on the scale, with tears falling like sparkling droplets. “It’s because I’ve gained weight; it’s like the color fades after inflating a balloon.”

Speaking, Cynthia even deliberately pulled at her face. “Honey, I’m only halfway through this pregnancy, and I’ve gained this much weight. At this rate, how much heavier will I get by the time I give birth? Will I end up all wrinkled like a deflated balloon after giving birth?”

Upon hearing these remarks, Liam felt both heartache and amusement. Cynthia was even cute when she was in a sulk.

Liam still held Cynthia’s face, then leaned down to gently kiss her lips, before patiently consoling her, “My dear, first, let me tell you, I love you not because of your appearance. No matter how you change, in my eyes, you are the most beautiful.”

Finishing, he looked deeply into Cynthia’s eyes and continued, “Moreover, since you got pregnant, apart from becoming gentle, nothing else has changed. None of the worries you have will come true. If you don’t believe me, look at Isabella; she had a child before. Do you think she has changed drastically now?”
