A few minutes later, Rose adjusted her emotions and pushed the door open again. She shook her head helplessly. "How intolerable are the two of you? It's so early in the morning. I'm impressed. You have to learn from my brother. Look at my brother and Ava. They're like cowherds and weavers. They're not like the two of you. They don't even let go of concussions. Aren't they afraid of kissing to death?"
After her mother left, another one came to curse her to death. Hackett said, "Sister, are you sure you're here to see a patient?"
"Of course. I'm not here to see you, but to watch you show off your affection. If I knew you were so healthy, I wouldn't even need to wake up an hour early."
Rose had woken up an hour earlier in order to visit Hackett in the ward. She was also very sincere.
Generously, Hackett nudged the bowl of creamy potato soup toward Rose. "Since you're so sincere, sister-in-law, join us for breakfast. Enjoy this creamy potato soup and nourish yourself."
"No, your brother made me a breakfast of love this morning." Rose proudly praised Edward.
Sherri stated, "Who's the one showing off? I suspect that you're not here to see Hackett . You're here to tell us that you ate my brother's breakfast of love this morning."
"Both. A bit of both. I'm heading out now. Get some good rest. Mom mentioned she'll visit you tonight." Rose waved her hand. Sherri understood she was referring to her biological mother, Juana Landor.
At the Turner Manor, after Emma finished eating, she sat in the living room to arrange flowers. She wanted to add some new colors. When Ava saw this, she was a little happier and less nervous. She also hoped that this child would think things through and tell Frank sooner.
There was a noise at the door. Emma thought that his son and daughter-in-law had left something behind. She was about to turn around and ask when she saw that it was his son-in-law who came in in a hurry. His face was full of fatigue, and his chin was full of stubble.
Ever since Frank got together with Ava, he had never seen him look so slovenly. He had a guess in his heart. He put down the roses and scissors in his hand and walked over.
Frank was still carrying her luggage and nodded politely. "Mom."
Emma felt sorry for him. "Frank, do you know?"
Frank nodded.
"Did Ava tell you about her pregnancy?" inquired Emma.
Frank felt that it was not good to discuss that kind of thing with his mother-in-law. His voice was filled with fatigue, and he did not sleep the entire night. "I found it by chance."
Emma understood. "I'm sorry. Ava is a little nervous. He keeps thinking that the child in his stomach will be miscarried. He's afraid that you'll be disappointed if anything happens in the future. He just wants to give you a surprise. Ava and Mom are in the wrong."
In fact, even if Ava didn't say it in a few days, she would still look for Grace to say it. However, now that Frank was here, there was no need to say it anymore. There was an explanation and a cover-up.
"Afraid of a miscarriage? Why?" How could a normal child be a miscarriage? Couldn't the checkup be good? However, Trevon's wife said that she was fine, although she didn't say that Ava was pregnant.
Emma adjusted her shawl and stood upright helplessly. She said truthfully, "This child has watched too many television dramas. There's another one who likes to go online. After looking up too much information, she absorbed too much. She keeps feeling that there's something wrong with her and thinks that she can stabilize herself in three months."
So that was how it was. No wonder she ran away. She was just wondering why she didn't tell him that she was pregnant. It was just a guess before, but now, she had a hundred percent confirmation from her mother-in-law.
Ava was pregnant. He felt a mix of excitement and nervousness. Not only for Baby Ava, but he himself was also nervous. His hands trembled as he held the suitcase and pulled the luggage.
He had never been nervous when he fought with others. Now, he was very nervous. He couldn't believe he was going to be a father.
Emma could actually understand her daughter's nervousness. Back when she was pregnant with Joseph, she was also like this. She always felt that something would happen. If there was anything wrong with her body, she would always think in a bad way.
This was her first pregnancy and her first time as a mother. She would be nervous and overthink. To outsiders, it was just a pregnancy. In fact, only a mother knew that any slight movement would affect her nerves.
A baby was basically raised by books.
"Go up, wash your face, and sleep with Baby Ava for a while. We'll talk when you wake up," Emma said to his tired son-in-law.
"Okay, Mom, I'm going up."
As the sky turned white, the clouds began to spread out, and the warm sun was about to fall.
Frank held the door handle for a moment before pushing the door open. The curtains were tightly drawn, and not a single ray of light could enter. The room was so dark that one could not see their fingers.
After closing the door, Frank gently placed the suitcase at the door and used his phone to illuminate the room. He did not intend to turn on the light, nor did he go to the bathroom to wash up. Instead, he walked to the bed and looked at Ava's sleeping face. She was sleeping peacefully, and her well-proportioned breathing filled the quiet room. Instantly, he felt a sense of security and satisfaction in his chest.
