Chapter 638 Be Good

On the day of Wesley’s trial, Sophia and Alexander went to Doveston to visit Perrin.

Perrin was already eighty-nine years old and would be celebrating his ninetieth birthday next year. After falling ill at the end of last year, he was a lot frailer now.

It was March, and Sophia’s baby bump was quite noticeable. During the day, when the weather was warm, she wore a knitted long dress that accentuated her bulge. Perrin was delighted to see her like that and ended up eating more that day.

Not long after they had breakfast, Alexander and Sophia accompanied Perrin to go fishing.

The sun was warm as it was ten in the morning. Alexander was afraid that the sun would shine on Sophia and placed his cap on her head.

He had just helped her wear the cap when his phone rang.

It was Felix, informing him that Wesley’s trial was now in session.

On their way back, Felix called Alexander again to inform him that Wesley had received a lifetime imprisonment sentence.

After hanging up, Alexander glanced at Sophia before sharing the news with her, saying, “Wesley has been sentenced to lifetime imprisonment.”

Sophia bobbed her head in response. “Mm. He deserves it.”

They spent a few days in Doveston before returning to Jadeborough. As May approached, Sophia was already thirty weeks along in her pregnancy. With the weather getting warmer, she opted for thin and comfortable clothing, and her baby bump continued to grow bigger with each passing day.

Mona’s kidnapping case went to trial on the fourteenth of May. She was subsequently sentenced to seven years in jail.

The bad guys had received their punishment, but Sophia was still traumatized by that night’s events.

Not long after Mona was sentenced to jail, Sophia had a nightmare.

She woke up, drenched in sweat.

Alexander reached out to switch on the bedside lamp before getting up to embrace the trembling woman in his arms. “Did you have a nightmare again?” he asked gently.

Hearing his voice, Sophia gradually calmed down. She looked at him and nodded. “Mm,” she replied softly, her forehead glistening with beads of sweat.

After what happened that day, Sophia kept having recurring nightmares. This wasn’t the first time she jolted awake at night.

Alexander fell silent for a few moments before suggesting, “Let’s go visit a psychologist tomorrow.”

Sophia didn’t object to his suggestion. She knew that if things were to continue like this, it wouldn’t be beneficial for her and her baby.

On tha day of Waslay’s trial, Sophia and Alaxandar want to Dovaston to visit Parrin.

As Sophia woke up late last night, she slept in the following day.

When her eyes fluttered open, Sophia could hear Alexander talking on the phone. Though his voice was soft, the room was quiet, allowing her to hear him clearly upon waking up.

She listened quietly and slowly realized he was discussing the psychologist’s visit scheduled for this afternoon.

Soon, Alexander ended the call.

When Sophia heard his footsteps approaching the bed, she held on to the bedframe for support and sat up.

As she didn’t get to sleep well last night, her head was throbbing a bit right now.

Upon noticing the cardigan Alexander handed to her, Sophia was about to reach out to take it, but he gently helped her put it on instead.

After she put on the cardigan, Alexander picked her up and carried her to the bathroom. “The psychologist will be here in the afternoon,” he informed her.

“Oh,” Sophia responded.

Afraid that something might be wrong with her, Sophia nervously paused her actions. Observing her hesitation, Alexander reassured her with a pat on the back of her hand. “Don’t be afraid. It’s perfectly normal for pregnant women to experience emotional fluctuations.”

Sophia glanced at him and nodded. “Yes, I know.”

Alexander helped her squeeze out some toothpaste. He didn’t leave the bathroom and stood beside her, observing her actions.

After washing up, Sophia turned around to see him standing at the door. Finding it amusing, she asked, “I won’t escape. Why do you keep staring at me?”

He gazed at her calmly and replied, “Because you’re good-looking.”

Sophia felt her cheeks turning warm. She harrumphed and told him, “You’re good-looking, too.”

Alexander led her out of the bathroom. When she was putting on her skincare products, he brought in a tray of breakfast and arranged the food on the table.

The weather was delightful, with the sun shining brightly in the sky. It was May, and Jadeborough was experiencing warmer temperatures. The gentle breeze that wafted through the tall buildings brought a refreshing and cooling sensation.

Sophia put on a coat and settled on the swing chair on the balcony with a book while Alexander was busy with work in his study.

The psychologist arrived at three in the afternoon. Sophia took some psychological tests and drew in a sandbox.

While the kidnapping incident was certainly scary, Sophia possessed strong mental resilience, making her psychological issues relatively minor. It was common for pregnant women to be sensitive during pregnancy, and after going through such an event, experiencing nightmares was also to be expected. However, with the right approach of relaxing and not dwelling on the incident, she would gradually find herself feeling better.

As Sophia woke up late last night, she slept in the following day.

Sophia was relieved to hear the psychologist’s words.

That night, she had a good night’s sleep, which was rare for her.

Sophia slept soundly until the next morning. When she woke up, the sun was already up. Alexander entered the room and noticed she was awake. Approaching her bed, he gently kissed her forehead. “You’re up this early?”

Sophia nodded and covered her mouth, yawning lazily. “I didn’t have any nightmares last night.”

“Mm,” Alexander replied, gently smoothing her hair. “Do you want to sleep a little more?”

Suddenly, Sophia felt her stomach twitching, and she quickly grabbed Alexander’s hand, placing it on her belly. “Alexander, our baby is moving!” she exclaimed.

Sophia had already felt the baby’s movements last month, but this time, the baby seemed to be quite active, and she grew excited. “Here, it’s here. Can you feel it?”

As Alexander touched her warm skin, he could feel the baby’s movements inside her belly.

That was a breathtaking feeling. It was the first time Alexander ever felt this way in his lifetime.

Life was fascinating, and he was gradually changing.

When Sophia first learned that she was pregnant, she didn’t feel much nervousness. Unlike Alexander, who would often get anxious, she appeared more composed and ready to embrace motherhood.

However, when the baby started moving, she gained a deeper understanding that a new life was blossoming inside her.

Feeling the baby’s movements, she became more connected to the little one growing within her and appreciated the profound changes taking place.

Alexander pulled her into his arms, his gaze dark and filled with hidden emotions as he lowered his head to look at her. Despite the subtle nature of his feelings, Sophia understood what he was experiencing.

She was still in a daze when he suddenly nuzzled her neck. “Yes, I can feel it.”

Alexander had always been mature and reserved, so he rarely acted in a childish manner. Seeing this, Sophia chuckled aloud.

Touching her belly, Alexander said, “Baby, be good and don’t make things difficult for your mommy.”

Hearing that, Sophia giggled out loud. “He won’t understand you.”

Alexander gave her a look. “He will.”
