While Rose was hospitalized, Grace went to the base three times a day. Ava and Frank also went to the base every day with their children until Rose was discharged.
After Rose was discharged from the hospital, Grace would go to the Landor family after the twins fell asleep, and then rush back to the Roberts family when the children were about to wake up. At night, she would go with William again.
Rose's second child was named Kade Landor. The meaning of Kade was to be reminded of their roots and just how far they had come. Rose was looking forward to having a daughter next.
Kade's personality was like Edward's. He was a good baby. He basically just ate and slept. When he was hungry, he would babble, but after he was fed, he would fall asleep. It was easy to take care of him.
A few months later, good news came from the Yamin family. Leia was pregnant. This surprise made the Yamin family busy.
After Leia became pregnant, Angie did not even sleep in. She woke up early and monitored the cook as they made nutritious food for Leia. Every day, she downloaded different apps and asked the cook to learn how to make the dishes she found on them.
On this day, Leia woke up and Chris prepared to go to work. As soon as the door opened, Angie was already standing downstairs waiting to help her.
Leia walked to the stairs and saw her mother-in-law's nervous posture. She smiled and felt warm in her heart.
Angie walked up the stairs to help her. Leia reached out and placed her hand in her mother-in-law's, and then Angie carefully helped Leia down the stairs. Chris slowly came out of the room, which caused him to be glared at by Angie.
Chris, who was just going down the first step of the stairs, was stunned and speechless.
Angie was dissatisfied with his son, who was still standing on the stairs. "Leia is pregnant now. Can't you take care of her? Why are you so slow?"
After saying that, she ignored her son and did not care about his reaction. "Leia, come and see if you like the soup I asked the cook to make today. If you don't, I'll get them to make a different one tomorrow."
Leia was helped to the kitchen. On the table was soup. In one bowl, there was soup and a few wolfberries as garnish. As for what was in the other bowl, it was hard to explain. It was black chicken, and from the looks of it, it looked quite dry.
Leia sat down on the chair and took a sip from the spoon. The soup was delicious and fresh. It was neither salty nor greasy. "Thank you, Angie. It's delicious."
Hearing her daughter-in-law say that it was good, Angie was relieved. She was thinking about what soup to make tomorrow.
Leia could not bear to see her mother-in-law working so hard every day. "Angie, you don't have to wake up at the same time as us every day. I've just gotten pregnant. My results from my physical examination are quite good. I don't feel tired either, so don't worry. Besides, there's still a professional doctor."
Angie brought the bowl of dry black chicken to his son and said in disdain, "He's from the breast and endocrine department, not the gynecology department. Why didn't you study gynecology back then? Look at Sherri. She's doing so well."
Chris didn't know what to say. According to his mother, now that his wife was pregnant, he had to study gynecology. If Stella went crazy one day, would he have to study psychiatry?
Seeing that her son did not respond, Angie continued, "You have to pay attention to Leia at all times, regardless of whether it's in the beginning or the later stages of her pregnancy. Do you hear me?"
Chris' shoulder was heavily patted. "Got it. I'll send Leia to the company later."
Charlie, who had been silent, said, "I don't blame your mother for criticizing you. What do you mean by sending her later? Leia, Chris will pick you up to and from work. You don't have to work overtime either. If there's a lot of work, ask Stella to help you, and if you feel tired, just stay at home. I'm still strong."
Leia was very touched and tears welled up in her eyes. It was said that it was not easy to marry into a wealthy family. There were either problems or dissatisfaction, but she had married well. On the contrary, Chris' status was inferior to hers. "I got it, Charlie. I'll take care of myself."
As soon as Stella came down the stairs, she heard that her father was going to give her more work. She walked toward the dining room and smiled. "Good morning, Leia. If you have anything that you can't handle, just order me around. I'm free. It's good for me to take care of those three interns. Don't tire yourself out."
Leia smiled. "Got it. I won't let you stay idle."
Angie was very satisfied with her daughter's actions. Stella was usually sloppy, but she was reliable at critical moments.
After breakfast, Chris carefully helped his wife into the car under his mother's gaze. He bent down and closed the door very gently. Then, he got into the driver's seat and started the car. In the rearview mirror, he could still see his mother standing at the door.
The speed of the car was 25 miles per hour. Seeing this, Leia smiled. "Chris, it's been hard on you. Why don't we go 50 miles per hour?"
Chris felt that his mouth was filled with the taste of black chicken. It did not taste good, but it would have been a waste not to eat it. Fortunately, Leia's soup was delicious. "We can only do 40 miles per hour at most. It's not safe to go too fast. I'll pick you up after work. If you're not feeling well, call me and I'll pick you up."
Leia leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek. "Okay."
Chris, who had been kissed, was overjoyed. He smiled. Eating black chicken could even get him some benefits from his wife.
50 minutes later, the car arrived at Yamin Group. Chris was about to unbuckle his seatbelt and send Leia in when he was stopped by her. She reached out and pressed his hand. "Don't send me off. Otherwise, I feel like I'm going to give birth soon. I'm not that delicate. I'm leaving. Drive slowly and don't overtake cars."
Chris nodded and watched Leia enter the company. He waited for Leia to text him that she reached the office before driving away.
As soon as Leia arrived at the company, Quinn called. Leia put the Bluetooth earbuds into her ear and continued her work. Stella was standing in front of Leia.
"Got it. I'll call Lena. I won't miss you out."
Quinn replied, "That's more like it. I've successfully reserved this seat. Leia, congratulations. Do you feel very happy now?"
The corners of Leia's mouth curled up. She was really happy. "I'm very happy, Quinn. Thank you for your pointers."
Quinn said, "It's also because of fate. You like each other. Otherwise, you wouldn't have gotten together with him with just a few words from me. That's good. I'm hanging up. Take care. Don't work too hard."
Leia said, "Got it."
