Chapter 1544
Mrs. Wallace thought she was just being modest. “I saw it all. Your son brought a beautiful young woman to a maternity dessert shop to buy snacks. The girl isn’t showing yet, so it’s obvious she just got pregnant p>
Richard was so excited he tried to grab the phone to speak!
Janelle shot him a glare, then smiled and asked Mrs. Wallace, “Could it be for his sister? Jessamine is pregnant with her second, after all. She’s over four months along p>
“Nope. The clerk called them ‘sir and ma’am,’ and they didn’t deny it. The clerk said she was in her first trimester, and they didn’t deny that either p>
Richard couldn’t hold back any longer and boomed, “Is that really true p>
Mrs. Wallace paused for a second, then laughed. “Oh, Mr. Huber is home too! Yes, it’s true! Just wait, I even recorded a short video. I’ll send it to you p>
Mrs. Wallace ended the call and sent a video clip.
Janelle and Richard huddled over the phone, their eyes glued to the screen as the video loaded. Although Keaton and Winona were wearing sunglasses and masks, they recognized them instantly. The scene in the video was exactly as Mrs. Wallace had described. The clerk called them ‘sir and ma’am,’ and they didn’t object. The clerk mentioned Winona was in her first trimester, and Winona didn’t object. And they bought a whole bunch of desserts!
Mrs. Wallace sent another voice message. “They were so bundled up, I couldn’t get a clear look at the girl’s face, but judging by her figure and aura, she’s definitely a stunner p>
“You Hubers are really something else, keeping such amazing news under wraps. Were you afraid we’d come looking for celebratory drinks p>
Richard and Janelle didn’t reply. They watched the video several more times, bursting with excitement.
Janelle couldn’t believe it. Could such wonderful news really be happening to them p>
She tugged on Richard’s arm. “Honey, look again. That’s Winona, right p>
Richard nodded firmly. “It is p>
Janelle: “So… what… what exactly does this mean p>
Richard said, “Isn’t it obvious? Winona’s pregnant, she had a craving for sweets, and our son took her to buy some p>
Janelle still found it hard to believe. “But… but why wouldn’t they tell us something this huge p>
Richard reasoned, “They must have just found out themselves. They probably haven’t had a chance to tell us yet p>
Janelle asked cautiously, “You don’t think… they’re thinking of not keeping it p>
Richard’s eyes widened. “Impossible!
If Keaton dares to say he doesn’t want it break his legs! Besides, think about it. They went out to buy maternity snacks That clearly means they plan to keep the baby p>
Janelle: “Really p>
Richard: “Definitely p>
Janelle let out a long breath, her face beaming. “That boy… he really knows how to touch a person’s heart. Without a word, he gives us such a huge surprise p>
She laughed, and Richard laughed with her. As they laughed, their eyes reddened with tears.
God only knew how desperately they wanted a daughter-in-law. A grandchild? They hadn’t even dared to dream of it! This incredible surprise was just too moving!
Richard said excitedly, “Keaton
finally did something to make me proud! That’s my boy! No! I have to announce this to the world! I have to Ter Mr Windham and Mr. Murphy know that I, Richard Huber, am going to be a grandfather p>
“Those old coots are always mocking me, saying my family line is going to end with me. Those old fools will be eating their hearts out when they find out I’m going to be a grandfather p>
Janelle stopped him. “Don’t say anything just yet. Let’s wait for the kids to get here and ask them first. What if Winona doesn’t want to go public? If you announce it, you might upset her p>
Richard nodded quickly. “Right, right, you’re right. I won’t tell anyone… But it’s okay
if I tell my ancestors, right?! I want to make them happy p>
“I need to let them know that their prized vintage wine wasn’t wasted! The person
who drank it is giving the Huber family an heir. They got the better end of the deal p>
