"Have the meals after the baby been a bit off for you? | noticed you didn't eat much this morning."
Everett had realized something was up after finishing his day's work, but Dorothy was sleeping at the time, and he didn't want to
disturb her.
"It's just that I'm not really feeling hungry," she replied.
Truth be told, Dorothy was particularly sensitive to pain! So, while other moms might not feel as much difort after a cesarean,
she was genuinely still in pain.
Naturally, she wasn't in any mood to eat.
Everett had even noticed that!
"Then I'll ask the nanny to switch up the menu for you, or maybe Kevin can scout out sother places that do good postpartum
meals."
"Really, you don't have to!" Dorothy had been saying this a lot these past few days, "If | need anything, I'll tell you! Everett, we're

He sighed deeply, gently patting the baby cradled in his arms, "I know you better than anyone! Even if you really dislike
something, you wouldn't tell me."
So Everett had no choice but to observe everything himself!
"Okay, okay, I'll try to change, happy?"
She leaned in and kissed Everett on the cheek, "Now, do you have any regrets?"
"None," he answered quickly, "Actually, just having you by my side, | feltplete."
He hadn't dared to hope for anything else.
This child, if Dorothy hadn't been so insistent, Everett was seriously considering getting a vasectomy.
But now...
He planned to take care of Dorothy until she was fully recovered and then go through with it to spare her any future pain.
Even without more children, it would still be a harm to her body.
But this, Everett hadn't planned on telling Dorothy. He decided to act first and explain later! By the tshe found out, it would
already be done.
Thanks to Everett's care, Dorothy found herself five pounds heavier when she finally got out of the postpartum period!
While most people lose weight from the stress and tiredness of childbirth, she ended up gaining weight instead.
"Yourplexion looks visibly better!" Karen couldn't help but exclaim.
Having known Dorothy for so many years, this was probably the heaviest she had been.
"Sleeping and eating all day, and him gathering all sorts of things to nourish my body, how could myplexion not improve?"
Dorothy patted her belly, "I think I've even got love handles now."
"Don't makejealous! If those are love handles, then what do | have?" Karen joked. Both women laughed, their gaze drifting

Jeffrey hade specifically to help wee guests to the baby’s celebration, and Everett...
He simply carried his daughter, standing at the door, as if he wanted to show off the daughter he had "raised single-handedly" to
the whole world.
"My mother-in-law used to say that Everett and Jeffrey were twopletely different people. She always wondered how they could
be friends! Now, | see they have something inmon—they're bothpletely wrapped around their daughters’ fingers."
When Jeffrey was home, he was just like Everett!
One daughter in his left arm, another by the hand, always bustling about.
"Isn't that wonderful? It means we both made good choices." Dorothy believed that men who adored their daughters would likely
adore their wives just as much!
From a distance, Everett's gaze suddenly met Dorothy's.
He smiled, walking over with his daughter in his arms, "You stay put, no need toe greet the guests."
