"All right."
I nodded.
I would marry Patrick soon. Because of the things taking place in the past, the Cowell Family didn't have a good impression of me.
If I arrived there late because of getting changed this time, it wouldn't be worth it.
Holding Patrick's hand, I went downstairs with him.
Coming out early, we didn't see many cars on the road.
When we arrived at the Cowell Family's mansion, it was exactly 6:30 p.m.
By the time we went in, it had been quite lively inside the house.
Sheridan, Melissa, and Ned were all surrounding Glenn.
Glenn, a six-year-old child, was smart and flexible. Whatever others asked him, he would respond like an adult.
Upon seeing us, the three of us looked at me. Ned straightened up first and said with a smile on his face, "You're here."
"Yes. Hello, Grandpa Cowell."
After greeting Ned, I said to Sheridan and Melissa, "Hello, Mr. Sheridan. Hello, Mrs. Melissa."
Now, the relationship between Patrick and me wasn't yet final.
I surely couldn't call them Dad or Mom.
Hearing how I addressed her, Melissa smiled and said, "Ah. We are a family. Don't be so polite. Come and have a seat in case you will be tired."
After saying that, she took the initiative to give me her seat.
Sheridan chuckled on the side.
Seeing their attitude, I was finally relieved.
Before coming here, in fact, I was afraid that they would give me a cold shoulder as soon as I came in.
Now it seemed that it was probably because of Glenn that they didn't intend to make things difficult for me.
Taking the initiative to stand up, Glenn ran to my side and said, "Mom, I'll help you walk."
"Thank you, Glenn."
I thanked him.
Only after I sat down did Melissa say, "Oh, Glenn is so sensible at such a young age. Strictly speaking, he is much better than Patrick." "That's because my little sister is in my mother's belly. I will be a brother soon. According to my mother, I should protect my sister! I am protecting my sister by helping my mother walk!"
Glenn spoke logically.
Hearing Glenn's words, Ned burst out laughing on the side, "Yes, yes. What Glenn said is right."
As soon as Patrick sat down, Sheridan glanced at my belly, looked up, and asked him, "What is your plan for your wedding? Could it be that you are going to wait until your legs are healed?"
"Let's wait until the child is born." Melissa said first, "Well, it's the first time that Janetta wears a wedding dress for herself. No woman wants to wear a wedding dress with a bulging belly, okay?"
I looked at Melissa gratefully.
Setting aside what had happened in the manor, it was indeed the first time I had worn a wedding dress for myself.
Patrick also nodded, "Well, let's wait until the child is born. According to the doctor, by then, I can walk normally within a short time."
"Are you sure?"
Sheridan was somewhat worried.
"Well, don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
Patrick said with absolute certainty.
Looking at him, I felt a little worried. After all, according to the current situation, the recovering situation of Patrick's legs didn't go well.
Even if it was six months later, he might not be able to walk a few more steps.
At that time, he surely had to be supported in the wedding.
However, the wedding would be held at least half a year from now. We might as well wait and see rather than be blindly concerned now.
Looking at my stomach, Melissa asked, "Is it really a baby girl?"
I nodded and said, "Well, I got the test result today. And it is indeed a girl."
"Great!" Ned was overjoyed, saying, "In this way, we will surely be blessed. It's been a long time since we have a little girl in our family!"
