You've never dated a CEO. You're just imagining things!” Avery pouted, “l may not have dated one, but I've seen them. My boss is a prime example of a playboy.

Anyone who can catch Aurelia’s eye must indeed be special.” Aurelia sighed at her brother's uncensored remarks, “Don't listen to Avery’s nonsense, he’s just a good friend.” Avery made a face, “They're in the ‘more than friends, less than lovers’ phase.

“Sir, this book explains that pregnant women experience hormonal fluctuations leading to significant mood changes. They may get temperament*| over trivial matters and may often find themselves in low spirits. It's not their fault, but due to hormonal changes. You need to be patient and help her manage her emotions. Otherwise, she may develop depression.” She paused before continuing, “In my hometown, there was a woman who fell into depression during her pregnancy. Her in-laws were unsympathetic, often berating her. One night, she suicided. A tragic loss of two lives. It was only then that her in-laws realized she had been suffering from depression.”
