Divorced and Pregnant My New Life with a Billionaire Drives My Ex Crazy novel Chapter 588

“Alice, be good, okay?”

“For the next few months, Wiona can’t play soccer or do anything too rough.” Annette spoke gently as she wiped the sweat from her daughter’s forehead.

Alice blinked, looking a little let down. “Is it because of the babies in her belly? But why aren’t they coming out yet?”

“I count on my fingers every day, waiting and waiting, but they just stay in there,” she sighed. “Wiona, when they’re born, can I play with them?”

Alice was getting better at expressing herself these days, and she was growing up so fast that everyone took her questions seriously. No one brushed her off anymore.

Wiona smiled at her. “That’ll still be a few years away.”

“By then, you’ll be Auntie Alice, and you’ll have two awesome little playmates.”

Alice squeezed her hands together, full of hope. “Then I hope they come out soon. Can they come tomorrow?”

Annette quickly covered her daughter’s mouth. “Oh no, sweetie, not yet.”

“Alice, the babies are only thirty-three weeks along right now.”

“Even with twins, they need to stay in there until at least thirty-six weeks to be healthy.”

Annette looked up, whispering little prayers as if trying to ward off bad luck. “Kids say the wildest things... but please, not this time. Please.”

Alice scratched her head, amused, and copied her mom’s little ritual, bowing to the air.

Wiona couldn’t help but laugh. “Mom, it’s not like Alice’s words are magic.”

“Don’t worry. Dr. Cano checked on me this morning. Both babies are healthy and safe.”

“They’re doing so well, it looks like we might even make it to thirty-seven or thirty-eight weeks.”

But Annette still looked worried. She turned to Wiona, serious. “Wiona, there’s no reason to risk your life.”

“You’re carrying twins. I’ve looked it up. Making it to thirty-six weeks is already amazing for a twin pregnancy.”

“Even if they come early now, they’re pretty much fully developed. We don’t need to worry too much.”

“Everything is ready at home.”

“The maternity ward is on standby.”

“Everyone is focusing on you now. You’re our top priority, even Conrad’s.”

“I’ve told him to finish up his work. Starting next week, he needs to stay home with you, all the time, never leaving your side.”

“This is not up for debate. Just listen to me, okay? When the time comes, if there’s any risk, we’ll get the babies out right away.”

“Wiona, please, listen to me.”

“Having a baby is no small thing. It’s like walking through fire for women.”

“But don’t be scared. We’re all here to protect you.”

You could see just how nervous Annette was.

Honestly, she seemed even more anxious than Wiona, who was about to be a new mom herself.

Wiona just let her fuss.

“Okay, I’ll do whatever you say.”
