A sharp pain shot through Theodore’s arm, but he remainedposed and nonchnt.


    “Mom, Dad, you’re here.”


    Wesley tugged at his tie and awkwardly cleared his throat. “If you


    have something to discuss, you should move to your room for privacy. Aren’t you afraid of being


    seen andughed at for doing that here? Were you two in that much of a hurry?”


    Reba walked over with her cane, smiling warmly. “I don’t think you’re in that much of a hurry.


    Otherwise, why is Rose’s belly still t? Theo, it seems like you need to be even more anxious.”


    Theodore furrowed his brow, a hint of embarrassment shing in his eyes. “Grandma, it’s not what


    you think.”


    “You pinned your wife down on the couch and kissed her


    passionately. How else should we interpret that?”


    Reba didn’t beat around the bush. After all, they were all adults who were experienced in these


    matters. There was no need to pretend otherwise.


    Theodore was at a loss for words. If no one hade in, he couldn’t guarantee what might have


    happened next.


    Rosalie seemed frightened. She quickly got up from the couch and ran to Reba’s side, holding


    onto her arm.


    “Grandma, please stop.”


    Seeing her granddaughter–inw blush, Reba smiled kindly yet mischievously. “What’s there to


    be embarrassed about? Shouldn’t your belly be showing by now?”


    Reba gently patted her t abdomen. “Theo, how about we give you some space in the living


    room now? We’ll leave first. You work hard and make sure Rose has a baby.”

    Rosalie’s eyes widened as she shook Reba’s arm. “Grandma, please stop!”


    Where was her sense of shame?! Such vulgar words! It was so embarrassing!


    Rosalie felt like she couldn’t show her face. She hid behind the olddy, keeping her head down.


    Theodore’s expression stiffened for a moment, but it quickly


    disappeared. To change the subject, he turned and approached his mother. It seemed like it had


    been a long time since he had seen her. Theodore’s eyes sparkled with surprise, revealing a


    childlike expression for the first time.


    “Mom.”


    Sydney Harper nodded slightly in a graceful and refined manner. Her face didn’t have much


    expression, but it wasn’t cold either. Holding a handbag and wearing high heels, she was wearing a


    white suit that looked elegant and professional. Her long ck curls were neatly tied in a low


    ponytail.


    At first sight, she was an unforgettable beauty. Even standing before Theodore, it was hard to


    guess she was his mother. Having taken good care of herself, she looked like she was not yet


    forty.


    Wesley stood to the side, keeping his distance from Sydney. The atmosphere between the husband


    and wife seemed somewhat awkward, as if they were strangers.


    The scene suddenly became tense, which Theodore had intended to divert attention from. But


    instead, it had only made things more


    ufortable between his parents,


    Rosalie looked on in puzzlement at the scene before her. She knew that her inws lived


    separately, but beyond that, she wasn’t aware of the details. Her family members hadn’t said much


    to her about it, and naturally, she didn’t pry.


    “Grandma, dinner is almost ready, and everyone is here. Shall we head to the dining room?”


    Rosalie’s timely voice broke the silence.


    Sydney approached Reba and politely said, “Mom, it’s been a while. I’ve been so busytely


    that I haven’t been able to visit you. How have you been?”


    “I’ve been fine.” Reba smiled. “Everything’s been good.”


    Reba then turned to her son. “Wesley, what’s wrong with you?


    Your wife hase all this way, and you’re wearing such a gloomy expression.”
