Marrying a Dumb Husband

Chapter 72



Chapter 72 Pregnancy Test Report

The family celebrated Old Mrs. Quaker’s seventy-eighth birthday in her favorite restaurant.

They only invited close relatives and some good friends.

Nolan drove Emmett and Savannah to the restaurant. After Savannah hopped out, she also saw two cars owned by the Avery family. As such, she believed that Sean and the rest were here apart from the Quaker family.

She got a little jittery, for she didn’t think that the Avery family would be invited to attend Agatha’s birthday. Since there were two cars, Sean probably wasn’t the only guest from the Avery family.

As she was lost in thought, she didn’t see the doorstep and almost tripped over it. Fortunately, Emmett held her arm and steadied her body.

“The Avery family is here, and so this is even better. You can just do whatever you’ve planned to do. I mean, the two families won’t have to invite each other to dinner anymore since we can fix their marriage tonight,” Emmett whispered near her ears as he could sense her worries.

After calming herself down, she felt that Emmett had a point.

She recalled Sydney said several times that she didn’t want the Avery family to know the news first. Nevertheless, the Avery family would still receive the news very soon once the Quaker family was informed that she was bearing Osborn’s child. As such, today would be the right time for both families to discuss and fix the marriage.

The Quaker family booked the entire restaurant to organize Agatha’s birthday party on the first floor while leaving the ground floor empty.

Almost all guests had arrived and sat at the two round tables at the center.

The Quaker family members sat with Old Mrs. Quaker at a table, while the other relatives and friends sat at another table.

Sean, Nina, and Sydney were here, but Ford was nowhere to be seen.

As Savannah glanced at them indifferently, Sydney took the initiative to stand up and happily greeted her.

She flashed a smile to brush Sydney off and greeted her Dad and Mom casually.

“Emmett, you’ve finally arrived. Come and sit next to Grandma.” Agatha waved at Emmett while putting on a broad smile on her face.

Meanwhile, Savannah followed Emmett to sit next to Agatha. She realized that almost all members of the Quaker family were here except Logan.

As she greeted the elders with Emmett, she saw that Clara and Brooklyn were also present.

However, as Savannah greeted Clara, Clara didn’t give her any response as though she didn’t see nor hear her.

Despite her coldness, Savannah remained unperturbed. Instead, she recalled that Clara promised to return the money to Mashion but hadn’t completed the payment. She decided to instruct the finance department tomorrow to rush her into paying the money.

The members of the Quaker family began to chat with one another. Only Emmett and Savannah were rather quiet because they had nothing much in common with the rest.

“Why isn’t Logan here yet? Is he caught up in something?” Lincoln asked Madelyn because the birthday party hadn’t started.

Madelyn replied smilingly, “There is quite a lot of work to do in the company, and so he is probably caught up in some urgent matters. He should be here soon.”

The next moment, Agatha scoffed, “What is so important in the company that he must be there to solve it? Can’t he let anyone in the upper management handle it instead?”

Madelyn put on an apologetic smile on her face. Then, she immediately texted Logan to ask him where he was and what time he would arrive.

Actually, she wasn’t sure what was going on in the company recently. Logan was extremely busy and always looked dejected when he got home. As such, she was also worried about him.

Given that Logan hadn’t arrived, they continued chatting and suddenly talked about Emmett and Savannah.

One of the relatives, who was around the same age as Agatha, asked, “Emmett, you’re married for quite a few months. Is your wife pregnant?”

Emmett was initially stunned for a while. He then shook his head and answered, “I tried very hard, but my effort hasn’t borne fruit yet.”

As his words amused everyone at the table, the relative said, “This kid is still as straightforward as before.”

While Savannah lowered her head embarrassedly, Osborn stole glances at her from time to time. Apparently, he couldn’t get over her even though she didn’t belong to him.

Meanwhile, Emmett grabbed her hand and fiddled with her fingers like a kid who messed around. He deliberately did this in front of Osborn to send him a message – Don’t ever try to lay his fingers on his wife.

Agatha couldn’t help but sigh and said to the relatives, “Indeed. I wonder when they will give me a great-grandchild.”

“We can’t say it for sure. For instance, my grandson was married earlier this year, and my granddaughter-in-law is pregnant now.”

Agatha said with envy, “You’re very lucky.”

After quite some time, Savannah felt that the timing was right for her to reveal some news. She looked up at Osborn and said to Agatha smilingly, “Old Mrs. Quaker, it’s my bad. However, you’ll have a great-grandchild very soon.”

Sydney, who sat at another table, instantly knew that Savannah was about to mention her. She couldn’t help but clasped her hands nervously to listen carefully.

Agatha gazed at her as she thought that Savannah had good news and asked delightedly, “Are you pregnant too?”

Savannah shook his head and said, “Old Mrs. Quaker, it’s not me. Actually, my sister has been four months pregnant with Osborn’s child.”

Everyone in the first floor fell silent once she said it.

Meanwhile, Logan, who happened to walked upstairs hastily, was shocked too. He came up to Savannah and said, “What did you say? Who is bearing Osborn’s child?”

“My sister, Sydney.” Savannah flashed a smile at him as she replied. Then, she stood up delightedly to pull Sydney up and pushed her toward Osborn. “Alright, don’t be shy anymore.”

Sean and Nina were also startled once they heard the sudden news.

When Savannah pushed Sydney toward Osborn, Sean couldn’t hold in his anger and berated her, “Savannah, today is Old Mrs. Quaker’s birthday. Don’t use Sydney to fool around here.”

The next moment, Savannah took out Sydney’s checkup report from her bag and handed it over to Agatha. “Old Mrs. Quaker, I’m not talking nonsense but telling the truth based on Sydney’s pregnancy report and the DNA test on her baby. They fell in love with each other and secretly dated for quite some time.”

Madelyn stood up anxiously and wished to read the report. Nevertheless, she dared not grab the report because Agatha was holding it.

Sydney stared at Osborn shyly, while Osborn looked panic-stricken. He never thought that Savannah and Sydney would play such a trick.

Agatha put the report on the table after reading it, and her lips quirked up slightly. Although she always wished that Emmett could have a child first, she was also delighted if Osborn really had a child. After all, his child would be her great-grandchild as well.

“Sean’s plan is brilliant. Now I understand why you were reluctant to let Sydney marry Emmett. You always wanted to make a match between Sydney and Osborn.”

Sean was embarrassed and immediately explained, “Old Mrs. Quaker, it isn’t what I wanted. it’s not to my knowledge that they are together.”
