They were peacefully having their breakfast before Jason broke the news to his father. The man who had waited for ages for a grandchild for only a reason known to him.

A smile played at the corner of his lips, he couldn't contain his excitement.

"Daughter-in-law, you do know you don't have to perform any more tedious work, Jason will take good care of you," Reyes said, fixing his gaze on her. Just like the son, he was the same.
