Ashton Heath learns that Joanna Lawrence is nearly two months pregnant and shares the happy news with his overjoyed grandmother. Joanna's best friend, Aria, also reacts with extreme excitement upon hearing about the pregnancy and rushes to see her.

She was already desperate to hold her unborn grandchild.

"Alright, alright, I’ll find it right away. Before, Romeo gave me two pieces of hundred-year-old ginseng, I’ll bring them out to nourish Joanna’s body!"

Though Sir White was not as eager to hold his grandchild as Madam White, he was still very happy about his daughter’s pregnancy.

Madam White happily dialed Gary White’s number, and exclaimed in delight upon connection: "Frank, your sister is pregnant. You’re going to be an uncle!"

On the other side, Gary White was shooting a new film.

After an intermission, his assistant gave him a glass of water. Upon hearing the news from Madam White, he nearly dropped the glass.

"Joanna is pregnant?" Gary White passed the glass back to his assistant, stood up and went to the side to continue the conversation.

"Yes, she just called me. She’s already checked at the hospital and it’s confirmed." Madam White’s voice, full of laughter, barely concealed her excitement. "Your dad and I will go visit her soon."

Although Gary White knew that Madam White had been longing for a grandchild, he was not as delighted as she was when hearing this good news.

The feeling was indescribable.

It’s not that he wasn’t happy, but rather that he felt Ashton Heath was somewhat brutish.

His sister was still so young, yet she was going to be a mother.

This feeling was as if watching a lush, juicy cabbage in one’s backyard being gobbled up by a pig.

Actually, he does not agree with Joanna Lawrence getting pregnant early.

Joanna Lawrence was talented in acting, she could have seized her youth and ventured out for a few years in her career.

But early marriage and childbirth would certainly have some impact on her career.

But what can he do if he doesn’t agree?

His sister willingly agreed, and it’s not like he has control over her decisions.

"Well, I’ll try to make time to go home in the next few days. Since Joanna is pregnant, Mom, you can go and take care of her. Ashton goes to work during the day, she’ll be lonely at home by herself. You can go and take care of her daily life and keep her company."

"That’s what I was thinking too." Lady White said with a smile, "I’m just not sure if my presence would disrupt the lives of the young couple."

"What disruptions could there be? If the young couple want intimacy, they just have to close their doors." Because of his little resentment towards Ashton Heath, Gary White didn’t want him to live too comfortably.

Madam White living there indeed would have some impact.

There was a bit of intentionality in Gary White’s suggestion.

Mother White then said some pleasant things, and finally, as per usual, inquired about Gary White’s love life: "By the way, how are things progressing between you and Rebecca? It’s been a while since Rebecca has visited our house, I hope there’s no problem between you two?"

"Let me tell you, Rebecca is a very good girl. Your dad and I both like her very much. We’ve already settled that she’s the daugther-in-law of the White family. If you somehow make this daughter-in-law disappear, neither your dad nor I would spare you!"

Gary White: "..."

"She went abroad to study." Gary White reached up to massage his slightly throbbing temples, taking a deep breath in an attempt to keep his tone calm. "Mom, I know you like her and hope that our relationship will have a good outcome But relationships are unpredictable, I..."

"What do you mean? Have you and Rebecca really had a fallout?" On the other end, Madam White’s tone became alarmed at once.
