Hearing his answer, Judy couldn't hold back her joy, which surged up from the depths of her heart. She jumped up with excitement and climbed onto him.Lewis caught her with a startled expression, "You can't do strenuous exercise now, be careful."Judy laughed, hugging his neck, "Lewis, you're going to be a dad, we're having a baby."This surprise was so strong that everything had gone so smoothly and happily since she met Lewis: a whirlwind marriage, and now she was pregnant.The joy in Lewis's heart was no less than Judy's.Before meeting Judy, he never expected that life could be like this.From now on, he had another person in the world who needed his protection.On the way back, Judy hummed a song, feeling that the breeze was sweet.Once back home, Judy lay in bed obediently to rest.Judy asked, "Should I tell your family about my pregnancy?""Don't mention it for now," Lewis replied, "Let's wait until the baby is stable, and then tell them after three months.""I'll listen to you
Judy met Avery at the coffee shop downstairs from the Meike Group building.Judy arrived at the coffee shop and saw Avery.Avery: "Judy, you asked me about Aaron's matter; what's the reason? Why are you asking these things?"Judy's response would decide whether Avery would tell the truth or not.Judy also understood Avery's implication; it seemed there was indeed a hidden story.Judy didn't answer but changed the topic instead, "Avery sister, I remember you once wanted to switch jobs. If you have such an idea, I can help you. The salary will definitely be higher than what you're getting now.""It's all about the same no matter which company I go to. I've been used to working at Meike Group and haven't thought much about switching. In fact, I don't want to work in an office anymore. I think being a server would be better, but I don't dare. The salary for servers isn't high, and my family needs the money."Hearing this, Judy suddenly remembered something and said, "Avery sister, would y
"Sold?"Judy thought she had heard wrong and was particularly shocked, "Avery, are you serious, all of the children, sold? Even their own children, they have the heart to sell? That's illegal!""In the small mountain village, people in the past didn't understand the law," Avery said, "Andrew is Aaron's eldest son, the first child in the family, and generally wouldn't be given away. Besides Andrew, Aaron also had three daughters and three sons, all sold."Judy thought of what John had said earlier, that he had three elder sisters and two elder brothers above him, all of whom had died in accidents.Avery said there were three sons besides Andrew, so John must be the third.John's longing for family, his effort to find his relatives, and the truth that he was sold off, not stolen at the train station.The sins of Aaron and Scarlett, now facing retribution, yet forcing John to bear the consequences? Why should John support them?Judy was particularly angry, and she couldn't help but think
Perona, as a mother herself, recognized the instinctual gesture Judy made to protect her belly, indicating that she was pregnant. With a smile, Perona asked, "How many months along are you?"This question took Judy by surprise for a moment before she realized what it meant. "A little less than two months," Judy replied, slightly embarrassed."Not bad," Perona's eyes were filled with warmth. "Make sure to get plenty of rest, especially in the first three months. Don't overwork yourself, and also be careful with your diet. Avoid too many sweet foods; young people tend to like those, but they're not good for the body."Judy felt a warm glow inside. "Thank you, I'll remember that.""Lewis is a good man and will be a great husband and father. Judy, you're very blessed." The two chatted for a while at the coffee shop entrance before parting ways. This scene, however, was caught by Amelia, who happened to be nearby.Amelia had come down from the company's offices; she had an appointment and
A hug doesn't mean anything.Lewis' focus is on who took the picture and sent it.The purpose of the other party is clear.Lewis wanted to call Judy, but it was too abrupt, and since Judy is pregnant, he wouldn't do anything to affect her mood.Lewis ripped up the photo and threw it in the trash, then continued his work as if nothing had happened.Then, Grandma called: "Lewis, come back home for dinner with Judy tonight; I miss my granddaughter-in-law."Lewis didn't hesitate and said, "Sure.""Then come back early," Grandma was very happy.……Judy went straight to John's law firm."John's office is ahead.""Thank you." Judy smiled and walked towards the office.John never had his own office before, but now he is a god in the firm, not only promoted and salary increased but also has his own office.John has fully utilized his expertise, and all the cases he has taken recently have been won.John's reputation is also slowly making a name for himself in the legal circle.Judy stood at th
Lewis saw Judy waiting by the roadside and pulled the car over, opening the door for her.Lewis: "You came to see John?"John's workplace was right nearby, so Lewis naturally guessed that Judy had come to see John.Judy had been debating whether to tell John the truth about his parents and thought she could ask Lewis for help analyzing the situation, so she said, "Didn't I tell you that John found his birth parents? I asked around and found out that John wasn't kidnapped but was sold by his parents. Should I tell him the truth? I just saw that he's doing pretty well now, and I can't bear to say anything."Judy's candor made Lewis very pleased."What's the situation with his parents now?" Lewis asked, genuinely trying to help analyze the situation.Judy gave a general account and continued, "The whole family is like vampires, leeching off of John. His paralyzed brother relies on him, his elderly parents rely on him, and even his five-year-old niece relies on him. He's still single but
"We don't have much contact." Judy looked at Lewis, guessing the meaning behind his question."Why do you ask about this all of a sudden?" It was the first time Lewis had initiated a conversation about Susan since they had been together.Thinking about Susan, Judy felt very complex."Just asking out of curiosity." Lewis warned, "Try to minimize contact. Even if it's been twenty-plus years as sisters, if the person's character is not good, there's no need to keep in touch."In the past, Lewis would have spared some thought for their sisterhood and not been so blunt.Now that Susan had sent the photos, it was clear that she harbored animosity towards Judy, and as her husband, Lewis naturally wanted to protect Judy.Judy nodded, "I understand."Soon, the two arrived at the old mansion.Lewis led Judy into the house, and his grandmother came down the stairs from upstairs, "The granddaughter-in-law is here, I miss you so much."Grandma really loved Judy and smiled broadly whenever she saw
Isabella is a proud woman; if no one calls her, she won't come downstairs to eat. After they left, Isabella scolded Antonio: "Why didn't you call me for dinner when everyone was eating?"Antonio deliberately teased Isabella, saying, "I thought you weren't hungry since you didn't come downstairs. Are you hungry now? I can ask the kitchen to heat up the food again, and you can still eat."Isabella glared at Antonio, "Judy has you all enchanted; as your mother-in-law, I didn't even get a greeting when I arrived, and you didn't even say goodbye when I left. I'm not dead yet."Antonio laughed, "You're only hurting yourself. They came back for dinner after a long time, and you were scowling. Who could be happy in that atmosphere?""You all seemed quite happy just now," Isabella snorted coldly, "As for this daughter-in-law, I won't acknowledge her."Isabella stewed in her anger alone in the living room, thinking about how over the years, besides Judy, there was someone else who could influen
