Chapter 5

He also uncharacteristically brought out a bottle of red wine he had treasured for a long time and cooked a homemade meal for me.

“Liv, Grandpa’s birthday is in a few days. Can we just put this aside for now? It was for the sake of appearances between the two families again. We were used to putting on a show at such big events anyway. ”

I agreed. “Okay.”

Since grandpa turned 70, his birthday celebrations h I’d always been grand.

We went to the best restaurant in Vidian City and the whole restaurant was packed with people.

My family, Robert Hamilton’s family and many business partners and friends.

Before going in, Robert Hamilton, reached out his hand to me.

I took his hand as usual.

He separated my fingers and firmly intertwined his with mine.

No matter how hard I tried to break free, it only made my finger joints ache a little.

Seeing that I had settled down, he smiled contentedly and then stepped into the restaurant entrance.

Jessica Miller also came.

She was busy helping the Hamiltons with various things.

The smile on Robert Hamilton’s face disappeared instantly, and a hint of unease showed in his eyes.

During the meal, the same old topic of having children was brought up again and directed at me.

My mom and my mother-in-law went back and forth.

“Are you two pulling our leg? You’ve been married for 5 years now, and you’ve been trying for a baby for 3 years. ”

“How come there’s still no news? Should you two go get checked? You must get checked. ”

“We’ll arrange for you to get checked tomorrow. I want to see what you two are up to. ”

My smile froze on my face.

Thinking of what Robert Hamilton had done. Tears welled up again.

I lowered my head and lightly wiped away a tear with my pinky finger.

Forcing a smile, I poured a glass of wine.

“Come, today is Grandpa’s birthday. Let’s not talk about that. I wish Grandpa many more years. ”

Grandpa, my mother-in-law took away my wine glass.

“We appreciate the sentiment, Grandpa. You’re trying for a baby now. You can’t drink, Rob. You can’t drink either. ”

Jessica Miller patted her belly, her eyes twinkling with sinus.

She directly took my mother-in-law’s hand and placed it on her belly.

“Auntie! Liv isn’t pregnant, but I am.”

The faces of everyone at the table were momentarily awkward.

She glanced at me.

“I mean, you will definitely be holding a grandchild, maybe even two. Rob is so healthy, you can rest assure. ”

I glanced at Robert Hamilton.

The frown that had just been on his face instantly smoothed out and he looked at Jessica Miller with loving happiness.

Jessica Miller poured me a glass of wine.

“Liv, were you scared just now? It’s all my fault. I have a big mouth. Please don’t mind. “
