Please Let Me Go novel Chapter 72

Finally, they got to the largest maternity shop in the downtown. Adelaide touched her slightly swollen belly, feeling happy. She pouted with her hand supporting her chin. She thought of a question which had been suffering thousands of young women, then she turned her head to look at Antonio, "Antonio, do you think it will be a boy or a girl?"

At this moment, Antonio finally understood what the family affection was. His wife was asking him, “Is our child a boy or a girl?” In fact, he was also looking forward to the little guy's coming. His eyes softened because of this question, "No matter it’s a boy or a girl, I like it!"

Antonio didn’t think that he had to have a boy, nor did his Grandma. He thought girls were very cute. If their daughter could be as gentle, kind and sensible as Adelaide, it would be much better than having a little naughty boy. He also began to look forward to it while thinking about it.

Adelaide smiled. The big smile from the corner of her mouth warmed his heart. Antonio touched her soft hair and used his hand to walk through her hair. Slowly, his hand slid along the smooth hair to the end of hair.

He was about to say something, but Hanna coughed twice. She looked at Adelaide, and then at Antonio. She severely criticized Antonio, "Antonio! This is a public place. Don’t do PDA!"

After hearing this, Adelaide blushed again. She knew that as long as Antonio and Hanna were walking together, they would definitely argue with each other.

Adelaide didn’t want to get involved into their quarrel. So she didn't bother them. She just went straight to the crib shop. The decoration inside not only made others feel the warmth of a little princess but also feel the naughty of a little boy!

As soon as they entered the store, the two sales staff greeted them and bowed slightly to them, saying warmly, "Welcome, what can I do for you?"

Adelaide lowered her head shyly, touched her lower abdomen, and asked the two sales staff, "Hello, I have been pregnant for five months old. I don't know it’s a girl or a boy. Can I buy a crib now?"

The sales staff were all sweet-looking girls. Every staff in this maternal and child store must have at least one child so that they could give the best service to customers.

They nodded and made a "please" gesture. The three of them walked past the various cribs, and finally stopped in front a simple crib.

One of the salespersons pulled the guardrail which was beside the bed. She gently shook it up, and then the small bed swayed from side to side with her hand swaying.

The bed was made of the most primitive wood polished. In order to prevent the baby from scratching and eating sawdust or unclean things, the designer specially added a layer of professional bite plastic to all the places the baby could touch.

No extra fancy decorations, everything was good for the baby.

After the salesperson finished explaining, Adelaide shyly pulled Antonio's sleeve. She said she liked the crib very much, especially its workmanship.

She was worried that the beautiful bedside would brush paint. Everyone knew that the paint contained a lot of toluene, glycol ethers, heavy metals and other compounds. If her baby fell asleep uncomfortably or poisoned, what would she do? She couldn’t image what effect those things would harm their children.

As long as she thought of those effect, she would feel scared. She was even more worried.

However, the workmanship of this bed was simple. There was no trace of paint. Besides, the rubber was installed where the baby could touch.

She was very satisfied!

Antonio nodded. As long as she liked it, then buy it.

Then, the three of them came to the baby shoes and clothing area. She really liked the little cotton-padded jacket Hanna gave last time. It seemed that Adelaide walked into heaven. The smile had been always on her face.

The pink baby girl cotton coat with rabbit ears, buy it!

Three little yellow ducks stuck to the blue shirt, buy it!

Buy, buy, buy!

Adelaide's strong desire to shop was aroused. While discussing the materials and colors with Hanna, Adelaide kept putting all kinds of baby clothes into Antonio's shopping cart.

From one-month-old to half-a-year old, and then to one-year-old, the two women divided these clothes very clearly according to the baby’s age. Antonio followed behind them. For the first time, he felt that he could not chip in their talk.

Even when he said thousands of times that the shopping cart was full, the two women still turned a blind eye and continued to buy. In desperation, he had to take out some clothes they put in.

After doing it several times like this, Adelaide looked back and was obviously taken aback, "I remember I bought a lot of clothes." She was a little wondering why everything she put in was gone.

Antonio controlled his unpleasure. He tried to reason with the shopaholic, "Adelaide, we have already bought a lot of things. In fact, we can wait for you to be born and buy them according to the actual situation!"

Adelaide was thinking about his words, but Hanna was not happy. Adelaide had never shopped so happily. Did Antonio lack the money?

Hanna curled her mouth and said with distain, "You don’t have money? It's okay. My treat!" After that, she patted her chest proudly, and pulled Adelaide in front of another shelf.

Adelaide suddenly realized why Antonio stopped her to shop. Then she smiled at Antonio before turning around, "Antonio, I have money!"

Antonio hated that they misunderstood his words, and hated Hanna who was talking nonsense to Adelaide. He just felt if they bought a lot of stuff now but maybe most couldn’t come in handy, it would be a waste.

Mr. Antonio once again tasted a deep frustration from his wife. He reluctantly pushed the shopping cart to trot behind them.

Women were so crazy about shopping. Just in the blink of an eye, the hands of these two women were full of baby clothes.

Silently following them, he finally knew how crazy when women were shopping. Except for less than an hour during the dinner, the rest of the day was spent buying. But Adelaide didn’t feel tired at all.

It had already been the fourth time thatBruno delivered the stuff they bought back home. Antonio secretly patted his chest. This was definitely more tiring than working for three days. But he also secretly breathed a sigh of relief because they finally finished shopping!

Sitting in the car going home, Hanna no longer complained as she did when she came. She sat in the van, lying on the seat. So did Adelaide.

The car drove slowly on the road. The two were so tired that they fell asleep as soon as their head touched the window.

"Wake up!"

Antonio woke them up. At this time, Damla and Bruno had almost moved the stuff to home. Adelaide rubbed her sleepy eyes. Today was undoubtedly the happiest and most satisfying day.

Not caring that there were others around them, Adelaide threw herself into Antonio's arms and hugged him tightly.

Adelaide, who was immersed in happiness, failed to notice the jealous look in the corner.
