Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 512: Dolores then glanced at Linsey's belly and gently placed her hand over it. "Little one, I'm your godmother. You'd better remember this face clearly. You only get one godmother, after all."

Normally, Linsey, always perceptive, would have caught onto Dolores changing the subject. But today, she was too caught up in the excitement of her pregnancy to sense anything unusual.

"Of course! My baby will only have you as a godmother!" Linsey said.

Dolores smiled, satisfied. She gently linked arms with Linsey and guided her protectively. "Come on. Let's go to the mall." The hospital was just a short walk away.

Within minutes, they arrived and stepped into the brightly lit space, bustling with shoppers. They made a beeline for a maternity store, where rows of shelves were packed with an overwhelming selection of baby products.

Linsey's eyes immediately landed on a stroller displayed at the front of the store. A smile spread across her face. She walked over and reached out to touch the handle.

"Dolores, look at this! It's adorable," Linsey remarked.

Dolores followed and gave the stroller a quick once-over before exclaiming, "Strollers these days are so high-tech! They even play lullabies?"

Linsey chuckled at her reaction. "That's been a feature for a while now. Some of the newer models even come with built-in rocking functions and auto-folding systems."

Dolores shook her head with amusement. "I clearly don't know much about baby gear. Honestly, this is my first time in a maternity store."

They shared a light laugh before Dolores quickly set her sights on picking out a special gift for the baby.

"These tiny outfits are just too cute! I'm definitely getting this one-the baby will need it once they arrive."

As she spoke, Dolores cast a glance at the stroller she and Linsey had checked out earlier. "That thing is way too bulky, and we still have other stops to make. Hauling it around would be a hassle. Let's just arrange for a delivery service next time and have the bigger baby items sent straight to your place."

Linsey nodded with a smile. "Sounds like a plan. Where else do you want to go after this?"

Dolores shot her a knowing look. "Take a guess."

A few minutes later, Linsey found herself being pulled upstairs into a women's boutique.

Before she could protest, Dolores had already dragged her inside, her eyes scanning the clothing racks. "As the baby's godmother, it's my duty to spoil them with gifts. But I can't forget about their mom-my dear friend, Linsey."

Linsey's brows lifted in surprise, a soft smile playing on her lips. "You're getting me a gift too?"

"Obviously." Dolores gave her a sidelong glance before flipping through a rack of dresses. "Consider it my little celebration of your pregnancy."

A sudden wave of emotion hit Linsey, her eyes growing misty as she looked at Dolores.

She wasn't usually this sentimental, but lately, her emotions had been all over the place. Pregnancy hormones, no doubt.

"Thank you, Dolores," Linsey said.

Dolores noticed the tears in Linsey's eyes and quickly put on a serious expression.

"Alright, no waterworks." She reached out, lightly brushing Linsey's cheek. "It's just a gift-no need to get all teary. Now, pick something you like and try it on."

Linsey sniffled and suddenly thought of something. "But in a few months, my belly's going to be huge. I won't even be able to wear anything you pick out today."
