Miracle Cutie (Amelia and Benjamin) novel Chapter 531

Chapter 531 Deep in Their Own Conversation

Amelia said, “The ice cream stands are all closed now, so don’t fuss anymore.”

She simply picked Nina up in her arms and carried her back over to the sofa.

Myrna followed along and sat down beside them.

Hugh still held the plate in his hand, trailing after Nina to feed her bite by bite.

Nina hadn’t finished her dinner yet.

Once Myrna settled on the couch, Stella greeted her politely.

Stella only acted spoiled and temperamental in front of Hugh-she always kept proper manners around other adults and elders.

Still, because of everything with Lorna, her attitude toward Myrna stayed cool and distant.

Myrna looked at Stella, then thought of Lorna, and felt a heavy headache coming on.

She was stuck between her son’s wife and her goddaughter, and she had no idea how to smooth things over.

While Myrna sat there tangled in worry, Nina wriggled free from Amelia’s hold and threw herself right into Stella’s lap.

It was plain to see how fond Nina was of her.

Her chubby hands kept tugging at Stella’s shirt, lifting the hem up again and again.

With Stella’s top pulled aside, Nina pressed her round cheek against Stella’s stomach and giggled nonstop.

Stella leaned back against the sofa, making no move to stop Nina from snuggling up to her belly.

She asked in a lazy, soft tone, “Nina, what are you up to?”

Nina rubbed her cheek back and forth over Stella’s stomach, mumbling a string of incoherent baby words right against it.

Sometimes she spoke clearly enough for others to understand,

Most of the time, though, her words were all jumbled-even Amelia, her own mother, couldn’t make sense of her rambling when she talked too fast.

Amelia could figure out what Nina was whispering to Stella’s belly now.

Myrna, sitting on the couch, didn’t understand what Nina was saying to Stella’s belly either.

She watched Nina’s strange actions closely, then suddenly slapped her thigh and stood up in pure excitement.

Myrna remembered when she was pregnant with Hugh all those years ago. She hadn’t gone to the hospital for a checkup back then, so she’d had no idea she was expecting.

Chapter saf Deepon The Own Conversation

A little kid had come over to visit that day, touching her stomach and pressing his ear against it just like Nina was doing now.

After the child left, Marvin had felt something was off and took her to get checked.

That was how they’d found out she was pregnant with Hugh.

Watching Nina nuzzle and murmur to Stella’s belly, Myrna grew so excited that she could barely get her words out.

She asked, “Nina-tell me-are you talking to the baby in her tummy?”

Myrna’s sudden loud voice startled Nina.

Nina instantly clung tightly to Stella for comfort.

Stella jumped a little from the shock, too.

She wrapped one arm around Nina and frowned, “Myrna, you scared her.

“That’s also a really odd question to ask. Nina’s far too little for you to grill her about that kind of thing. I know you want grandchildren, but I’m not ready for a baby yet.

“I’ve been in such a bad mood lately.”

Stella and Hugh had grown up side by side since childhood.

Myrna had watched Stella grow up from a little girl and had always doted on her.

Stella spoke freely and openly around her, with no formal manners held back.

Myrna didn’t look the least bit upset at her mild scolding.

If anything, she grew even more delighted.

Myrna said, “Stella, my sweet girl, listen to me-little kids have the strongest intuition.

“Kids like Nina sense things no grown-up can.

“She’s touching your belly and talking to it-she might really feel there’s a baby inside you.

“Come on, be honest with me-did your monthly cycle come this month?”

Stella froze completely, caught off guard by Myrna’s bold assumption.

She thought back to her schedule. Her period was supposed to start at the beginning of the month, but the month was already ending, and it still hadn’t come.

Her cycle had always been irregular, though, so she’d never thought much of the delay.

Stella said, “Myrna, I still think you’re being super superstitious.

“No matter how intuitive Nina is, she’s not a doctor.
