Chapter 1300
Pearl found it hard to believe, but what Wayne said made sense. So, after work, she headed straight to the hospital. Holding the report in her hand, Pearl was speechless. She was actually pregnant...
The report indicated that she was already two months along. It was a lot for her to take in. Although her body was now physically ready to have a baby, she wasn't emotionally prepared to accept the child.
When she got home with the report, Susan was cooking in the kitchen. Seeing Pearl's bewildered expression, she inquired, "What's wrong, Pea? You seem off. Is work stressing you out?"
"I'm pregnant," Pearl said casually.
Susan's jaw dropped. "Really? You're pregnant? How many months? When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me?"
This string of questions left Pearl unsure how to respond. Pearl nodded, looking at Susan with a smile. "It's been two months."
"I'm going to be a grandmother? That's fantastic! You have no idea how long I've waited for this day, Pea!" Susan practically wanted to lift Pearl to the sky right then and there.
Embraced on the couch, Pearl watched as Susan quickly prepared some fruit and placed it on the coffee table." Starting today, you're our family's top priority. If anyone tries to mess with you, I won't let them off easy. Just tell me what you want, and I'll have Rick arrange it."
At that moment, Richard walked in and noticed his mother's excitement. He thought something had happened and asked, "What's going on?"
"What's going on? You don't even know? You're Pearl's husband!" Susan scolded him, puzzled by his confusion. Usually, she wouldn't favor Pearl so much, but today, she seemed oddly biased.
Richard was confused by her behavior.
Seeing him standing there cluelessly, Susan put her hands on her hips. "Hurry and take care of your wife. She's pregnant!"
"Pregnant?" Richard seemed unable to grasp the meaning of the words and muttered them to himself.
"What's wrong? Are you too happy to function?" Pearl found his reaction oddly amusing. "I'm two months pregnant. It's not a big deal."
The next moment, Richard rushed over, crouched down, and pressed his head against her belly. "Let me listen to the baby."
Pearl couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. "It's only a few months old. How can you hear anything?"
"You don't understand our father and son bond."
"Who said it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"
"That's even better." Richard actually didn't care if it was a boy or a girl. He was just thrilled about becoming a parent. Thinking about Pearl giving birth to their child made him ecstatic. "I'll start thinking about names for the baby."
Pearl chuckled helplessly. "We don't even know the baby's gender, and you're already thinking about names."
