“Shaun Lyons, why didn’t you announce such important news before now?” Old Madam Lyons’s voice almost deafened him.
Twins! Oh, God!
The Lyons family had never had twins before.
Old Master Lyons, who was reading the newspaper with his presbyopic glasses, also sat up and perked up his ears.
“Why should I tell you? I thought you didn’t like Cate.” Shaun crossed his legs. “If I told you earlier, you’d just make her suffer again.”
“…”
The old madam felt her heart hurt at being called out like that. “I… That was in the past. If she’s pregnant with twins, of course, I’ll provide for her properly. You’re in the manor now, right? I’ll come over right away…”
“She’s not there.” Shaun suddenly faltered. “She’s in the hospital. Her fetuses almost got injured.”
“What? How could that be? Are my precious great-grandchildren okay? How could she be so inattentive when she’s already a mother…”
“No, it’s not her fault. It was caused by my carelessness,” Shaun replied vaguely.
“You useless thing. I’ll be right over.”
Old Madam Lyons hung up the phone. Less than 40 minutes later, Old Master Lyons and her appeared in the hospital at the same time.
The appearance of the two elders gave Cate a fright.
After all, she had met with Old Madam Lyons only twice and Old Master Lyons once. Each time, they had never looked happy to see her.
Now, as soon as they walked in, their faces were full of amiable smiles. It made her feel very strange.
“Grandpa, Grandma…”
Cate moved, but Old Master Lyons immediately said in a grave voice, “Don’t move. The children in your belly are more important.”
Cate, “…”
Well, she had already expected this.
“Grandpa, Cate is equally important,” Shaun interrupted, disgruntled.
Old Madam Lyons immediately glared at him. “If you know she’s important, why did you make her so agitated that her fetuses were harmed?”
Shaun frowned but was obedient and did not refute.
When the two elders saw this, Old Master Lyons knocked his cane heavily. “Ridiculous. You young people have no sense of propriety. How could you be as passionate as before when she’s already pregnant?”
Shaun and Cate froze at the same time. That sentence sounded somewhat off.
Then, Old Madam Lyons said earnestly, “I understand that you’re newlyweds and can’t help it, but you still have to consider the children in her belly. You can’t sleep together for the time being, or you’ll end up harming the children.”
“…”
When Cate finally reacted, her face instantly turned red.
Did they think that her fetuses were affected because she had slept with Shaun?
Oh, God.
Shaun’s face also darkened. He could not understand how the two elders came to this conclusion at all. “No, Grandma. We—”
“Enough, don’t say it. When you’re discharged tomorrow, come back with me and live at the manor. I’ll ask for the best chef to nurse her body back to health. Also, the air at the manor is good and is suitable for pregnant ladies to nurture their babies.”
Old Madam Lyons interrupted them, “I’ll only rest assured if I can see you two sleeping in separate rooms.”
“I’m not going.” Shaun refused flatly.
He refused to sleep in separate rooms. He could not stand it even if it was just for a day.
Cate originally wanted to explain herself, but her heart was slightly moved at Old Madam Lyons’s words. She nodded in agreement. “I’m willing to move into the manor. Grandma is an experienced person and has given birth to several children, so I think Grandma is right.”
“That’s right.” Old Madam Lyons gave her an approving look.
For the first time, she was slightly satisfied with Cate.
Shaun’s heavy eyes rested on her little face.
He knew what she was thinking. She wanted to avoid him and did not want to sleep with him.
“I disapprove.”
“It’s useless for you to disapprove,” Old Master Lyons ordered, “In any case, the first twins of the Lyons family must be born healthily.”
Shaun, “…”
Damn it! He should not have told these two about the pregnancy.
When the two elders left, he glared unhappily at Cate. “You did that on purpose.”
“Yeah.” Cate looked up and said righteously, “Shaun Lyons, your memory isn’t good, but I won’t forget how the fetuses were injured. Maybe it’s safest for me to live in the manor now. At least I won’t have to tolerate your friend’s warning, lest your illness deteriorates and it becomes my fault.”
A ray of cold light flashed in Shaun’s clear eyes.
He instantly understood that Chester and Rodney must have said something to her. Shaun had talked to them before, but they had been friends for more than a decade, so they only wanted the best for him.
“I’m sorry…”
“There’s nothing to be sorry about. I just don’t think that I’m worth it. If your heart was full of me, I’d shoulder all the responsibility. But you’re hiding so many people around you, and your relationship with Shelley Langley is ambiguous. Why do I have to take responsibility for the condition of your illness? I have to endure it even if I’m unhappy.”
Cate vented and lay on the bed, not wanting to pay attention to him anymore.
She had truly gotten angry when Chester used Joel to threaten her.
…
The next morning.
The manor sent a driver to pick Cate up.
The housekeeper arranged for her to stay in Shaun’s old room.
