Chapter 639 I Want The Best For You


    During the final stage of her pregnancy, Sophia experienced leg cramps at night.


    Throughout her pregnancy, she had been healthy, so when she first woke up in difort, Alexander


    visibly paled, concerned to see her suffer.


    The following morning, Sophia woke up to discover that Alexander had arranged for a nutritionist to


    n her meals. He had also taken the initiative to learn some massage skills to help alleviate her leg


    cramps. Although the cramps didn’tst long, Alexander remained attentive and nervous every night.


    With June’s arrival, the weather in Jadeborough turned hot. Sophia’s appetite grew, and she found


    herself eating more every day. Alexander, on the other hand, conveniently found reasons not to go to


    work and instead spent his days learning to cook delicious meals at home to satisfy Sophia’s cravings.


    Sophia’s expected delivery date was in early August. By the time June arrived, her belly had grown


    significantly, and she had gained some weight.


    After her belly became more pronounced, Alexander developed a habit of putting his hand on her belly


    every night as they slept. Feeling her stomach growrger under his palm, he not only felt the presence


    of their unborn child but also experienced the journey of pregnancy from another perspective.


    In July, Sophia was already thirty-six weeks along. Charlize paid her a visit to deliver her a wedding


    invitation.


    Charlize and Spencer’s wedding would be held on the sixteenth of July. It was a special day to be


    commemorated.


    Sophia may have gained weight, but she didn’t swell up.


    Being naturally slender, her pregnancy seemed to enhance her beauty rather than cause her body to


    go out of shape as some others might experience.


    At thirty-six weeks, her baby bump was quite prominent. She chose to wear a dress that was tight at


    the top and loose at the bottom for the wedding, amodating her growing bellyfortably.


    Sophia pushed the door open and entered the bride’s room. Charlize, who had just finished her


    makeup, turned to look at Sophia’s tummy. Her eyes lit up. “Soph, are you going to give birth soon?”


    she asked excitedly.


    The baby seemed to understand Charlize’s words as it moved slightly.


    Sophia touched her belly. “He can’t wait. He just moved.”


    Charlize gasped in anticipation, her eyes filled with excitement as she gazed at Sophia’s stomach. “You


    and Alex are both good-looking, so your baby is going to be absolutely adorable!”


    Hearing that, Sophia couldn’t help but grin. “You and Mr. Lacroix are good-looking as well. If you love


    adorable babies, you should consider bing parents yourselves soon.”


    Charlize felt a bit embarrassed.


    She had originally wanted to get pregnant around the same time as Sophia. She thought that if her


    baby was a different gender from Sophia and Alexander’s baby, they might have a chance to end up


    together as a couple. However, Spencer didn’t want to be a parent that soon and preferred to wait


    a few more years before starting a family.


    Sophia was excited to join in the fun of the wedding celebrations. Soon, Spencer arrived to pick up his


    bride.


    He didn’t have many friends, and most of his groomsmen were apparently his juniors. They were all


    good-looking gentlemen.


    Spencer was generous enough to offer mary gifts whenever the bridesmaids asked for them.

    Charliza and Spancar’s wadding would ba hald on tha sixtaanth of July. It was a spacial day to ba

    Sophia was axcitad to join in tha fun of tha wadding cbrations. Soon, Spancar arrivad to pick up his


    brida.

    good-looking ganman.


    Spancar was ganarous anough to offar monatary gifts whanavar tha bridasmaids askad for tham.


    Sophia was pleased with what she received from him.


    When she followed the bridal procession out, she was stopped by the man who had been waiting for


    her outside.


    Sophia turned to look at him as she waved the mary gift she just received. “I just got this.”


    Alexander lowered his head to gaze at her in a gentle manner. “Good job, Mrs. Xenos.”


    Even though he was praising her as though she was a child, Sophia grinned. When no one was


    looking, she checked and confirmed she received nine hundred and ny-nine from the groom. She


    had to admit that Spencer was indeed a generous groom.


    The wedding was a grand affair. As an orphan, Spencer didn’t have any close rtives present as his


    grandmother, who had raised him, passed away before he reached adulthood. Therefore, all the guests


    at the wedding were his dear friends.


    Sophia realized she didn’t know much about Charlize and Spencer’s rtionship. She observed the big


    screen in the hall, disying their sweet photos with captions below.


    The photos seemed disorganized at first nce, but upon closer inspection, they beautifully narrated


    the story of the couple’s journey together.


    Sophia couldn’t help but feel deeply moved as she listened to bits and pieces of conversations about


    the details of Charlize and Spencer’s rtionship from others.


    It was evident that Spencer had put in a lot of effort to win Charlize’s heart, and their journey together


    had not been without its challenges.


    Up on the stage, Charlize was preparing to throw her bouquet. A few years ago, she was still a shy


    youngdy, but in the blink of an eye, she was already married.


    It was already past nine at night when they left the hotel. The air outside felt a bit stuffy and hot. Sophia


    immediately felt herself breaking into a light sweat the moment she stepped out.


    “Sophia.”


    Someone called out Sophia’s name just as she stepped out of the hotel entrance.


    The voice sounded familiar, but Sophia couldn’t immediately recall who it belonged to.


    As the person calling her name came closer, she finally recognized that it was Ka.


    It had been a few years since theyst met. Sophia remained calm and greeted, “Long time no see.”


    Ka gazed at her and shed a sincere smile. “I want you to know that I’m going to get married soon.”


    Sophia responded coolly, “Congrattions.”


    “Thank you.” Ka chuckled aloud. “I’m leaving. I don’t think I’ll being back anytime soon.”


    With that, she spun on her heels and strode away.


    Sophia raised an eyebrow, watching as Ka walked away. Suddenly, Ka halted in her tracks.


    Without looking back, she said, “You two look perfect together.”


    Sophia shot Alexander a look but didn’t say anything. Ka’s words lingered in the air as she walked


    away without waiting for their response.


    August soon arrived.


    Sophia’s due date was the eighth of August, but on the sixth of August, her water broke.


    Fortunately, Alexander had been vignt these past few days. When Sophia frowned andined


    of pain in the dead of night, he immediately rushed her to the hospital.


    Sophia was fortunate as her cervix dted quickly. Upon arriving at the hospital, she was taken to the


    delivery room and received a painkiller shot. Despite the nurse’s advice to wait outside, Alexander


    adamantly refused and tightly held Sophia’s hand, refusing to leave her side.


    Sophia was pleased with what she received from him.


    When Sophia saw him, she bit back her pain and told him to leave.


    Alexander nted a kiss on her hand, showing no signs of leaving. “I’ll stay with you, Sophia.”

    Hearing that, she couldn’t bear to kick him out.


    Giving birth was akin to walking a fine line between life and death. Sophia was already thirty and giving


    birth to her first baby.


    Alexander most probably never wanted to recall this day ever again.


    He knew that delivering a child was a painful procedure, but he had no idea it would hurt that much.


    His face turned as white as a sheet when he saw Sophia lying in bed, screaming in pain with a pale


    face.


    Alexander was known for his ruthlessness in the corporate world. However, when he saw Sophia in


    pain, for the first time in his life, he wondered if she could stop giving birth.


    s, unlike how one could call off business negotiations, it was impossible to halt the process of


    childbirth.


    When the baby was born, Sophia feltpletely drained of energy. As Alexander saw her squinting her


    eyes, his hands trembled. “Sophia.”


    As though Sophia had heard him, her brows twitched as she struggled to look at him.


    After Sophia turned to nce at him, she lost consciousness.


    When Alexander felt her hand going limp, his heart sank to the depths of his stomach.


    He could finally breathe again when the nurse told him that Sophia fainted as she was too tired.


    “Mr. Xenos, congrattions. It’s a baby boy.”


    Alexander nced at the baby, all wrapped up in a white cloth. The little one looked wrinkly and tiny,


    and he couldn’t believe that such a small being had caused Sophia so much suffering.


    “Mr. Xenos, do you want to hold him?”


    He shook his head. “I’ll wait for her to wake up.”


    With that, he followed Sophia, who was being pushed out of the delivery room.


    It was almost dawn by now. Sophia had been inbor for over six hours.


    She slept for ten hours and woke up at six in the evening.


    The moment she opened her eyes, it was to see Alexander gazing at her, his eyes all red.


    Sophia was about to smile when he lowered his head and kissed her.


    He didn’t do anything else and merely pressed his lips to hers. She could feel that his lips were


    trembling.


    “You did a good job.”


    She patted his head. “You did a good job too, Alexander.”


    Hearing her voice, he moved away and caressed her cheek. “I’ll get a vasectomy tomorrow.”


    Sophia blinked twice before taking his hand. “Is it a boy or a girl?”


    “A boy.”


    Seeing his reaction, Sophia chuckled aloud. “I thought you wanted a daughter?”


    “All I want is for you to be healthy.”


    Knowing that he was frightened, she patted his face. “Okay.”


    He can do whatever he wants.


    Alexander gazed at her for a long while before pressing a kiss to her lips. “I love you, Sophia.”


    “I love you too, Alexander.”
