Chapter 1545
Janelle smiled. “Go on, go on. Go share the good news p>
Richard scurried off to the family study to report the news to his ancestors’ portraits. But just as he reached the door, he turned back.
“I hear a lot of young women these days are hesitant to have children. If our son doesn’t want the baby, we can handle him. But we can’t force Winona. We need to show Winona how much the Huber family wants this. Get the property deeds, the stock certificates, everything ready. We’ll set up a meeting with her later p>
Janelle knew exactly what he meant and gave him her full support. “Okay p>
Only then did Richard leave, beaming, to go find his forefathers. His son had finally made him proud, and now he could hold his head high in front of his ancestors!
Janelle wiped away a tear and replied to Mrs. Wallace with a cheerful laugh. “It’s not that we were trying to hide it. It’s just… they haven’t had the wedding yet, so a sudden pregnancy is a bit awkward to announce. But you just wait, when the time comes for the reception, I’ll save you a seat at the head table p>
Mrs. Wallace replied, “Okay, okay, my lips are sealed for now p>
“Mhm, thank you so much p>
Mrs. Wallace chuckled back. “Mrs. Windham and Mrs. Murphy are always talking about their sons’ weddings, but their sons are still single, let alone having kids. And your Keaton, who always swore he’d never get married, is already having a baby! Your son is the one who really came through p>
Janelle couldn’t stop grinning. “That little rascal. When he’s annoying, he’s truly infuriating. But when he gives you a surprise, he really goes all out! Hahaha p>
Life was certainly unpredictable. Keaton and Winona’s relationship wasn’t even official, but in their parents’ minds, they were already having a baby.
After hanging up with Mrs. Wallace, Janelle immediately called Keaton. He answered this time, since the issue with Winona had been resolved and he wasn’t expecting to get yelled at.
“Hey, Mom p>
Janelle, suppressing her excitement, asked, “Where are you p>
Keaton grinned. “Take a guess p>
Janelle: “Stop messing around p>
“I’m on my way home,” Keaton said. “Get some good food ready for me. I have a surprise for you p>
Keaton’s surprise was Winona, but Janelle thought he was talking about Winona’s pregnancy. She was overjoyed.
“Okay, okay, I’ll go get everything ready right now. How long until you’re home p>
“About half an hour p>
“Are… are you with Winona p>
Keaton was surprised. “How did you know p>
Janelle didn’t explain, only saying, “Drive slowly, okay? This early stage is a critical time. You have to be careful. Don’t be careless p>
After hanging up, Keaton asked Winona, “What critical time? What was my mom talking about p>
Winona shook her head. “I have no idea p>
Neither of them understood, so they didn’t think much of it.
When they arrived at the Huber estate, they heard that Jessamine had already left so Winona left the desserts in the car As soon as they got out, they noticed something was off. sŵnovels
The Huber mansion was ablaze with light, the courtyard glowing as if it were high noon. Even more shockingly, there was a red carpet laid out on the ground!
Keaton looked around, baffled. “What’s all this for p>
A housemaid explained, “It’s dark out. The madam was worried Ms. Newsom might trip and fall p>
Keaton was stunned. “This is for her?! There’s nothing wrong with her eyes, why would she trip p>
The elderly housekeeperreminded
him, “Keaton..you mustn’t say that.
The madam will have your hide if
she hears you. You know how much she adores Ms. Newsom p>
Keaton looked at the thick carpet on the ground and sighed. “But you can’t adore someone this much! This is insane p>
The maids just smiled without speaking, all greeting Winona in unison. “Good evening, Ms. Newsom p>
Winona felt a little awkward. Even
the lady of the Huber house
probably wouldn’t get this kind of
treatment, right? A red carpet just for her? Was she really that precious?
