Calling her by name directly seemed too intimate, but addressing her as Lady Stuart would be too distant concerning her relationship with Baron Stuart.

“No need for formalities, you’re carrying my brother’s child! Just call me Bella.”

As she hesitated over what to call her, Bella Stuart broke the ice, bouncing over to sit beside Emily Walker, her eyes sparkling with excitement as she stared at Emily’s stomach. “Can…can I touch it?”

She couldn’t contain her excitement, having thought about it so many times before!

Emily hesitated for a moment, feeling that the young lady from the Stuart family was quite affable.

“Alright.” Emily nodded.

“Really!?” As soon as her request was granted, Bella couldn’t contain her excitement, nearly bursting into tears of joy!

Emily laughed and nodded again.

At four months, her belly didn’t appear much different from the outside, but when Bella reached out to touch it, she could clearly feel the smooth bump of Emily’s stomach, marveling at the miracle.

So this is how life begins.

Seeming unable to help herself, Bella whispered, “Little baby, I’m your aunt. Remember that, okay?”

Emily couldn’t help but find her mumbling amusing.

Then she suddenly remembered, “By the way, why are you here?” she asked Bella.

Though Bella was preoccupied with Emily’s stomach, she answered her question earnestly.

“Oh, my brother said he’s going on a business trip to the UK and thought you’d be lonely at home, so he asked me to keep you company whenever I have time.” Bella said, her gaze never leaving Emily’s protruding belly.

Suddenly recalling something, she added, “But he gave me a directive not to touch you under any circumstances!”

Now that she thought about it, her elder brother was overprotective, afraid she’d hurt the baby?

Oh, come on

“I promise you, I won’t hurt you or the baby, so please let me touch more?” She raised her hand, holding up three fingers solemnly as she made her vow to Emily!

Emily found it somewhat amusing; Bella seemed quite outgoing but was incredibly gentle in touching her stomach.

Perhaps Baron Stuart was just overly cautious.

“Alright, you can touch any time you want,” Emily smilingly agreed.

Bella hugged her excitedly, “You’re the best, even better than my own brother!”

Emily was rendered speechless with a wry smile.

However, it seemed like she was gradually being accepted by Bella?

“Oh, I almost forgot, my mother learned I’d be visiting and asked me to bring this for you!” Letting go of Emily, Bella picked up an insulation barrel beside her, “This is a nourishing tonic personally prepared for you by my mother; it’s delicious!”

Vivian Ferguson had learned that Bella would be visiting Emily today and specially instructed their head chef to make the chicken soup. This wasn’t ordinary soup; Vivian had planned for this some days back.

She had sent for the finest hens from a remote countryside, and the soup was made overnight.

“Your mother?” At Bella’s words, Emily was genuinely surprised, her eyebrows furrowing in confusion as she looked at her.

She knew Vivian Ferguson had changed her opinion of her after their meeting, but she didn’t expect Vivian to go to such lengths for her.

Oh, wait, not her, but for her baby.

It seemed that she was once again basking in the baby’s reflected glory!
