As soon as Zed finished, ecstatic applause echoed in the room and everyone's face beamed with joy. They all looked at Jean with a happy smile.
"Zed, Jean, congratulations on expecting a baby." Moore walked over and embraced both of them.
"Thank you so much, Moore" Jean watched Moore and for reasons she didn't know, she felt so thrilled that her voice trembled.
"What's the matter?" Detecting a difference in Jean, Zed asked in a jiffy.
"Nothing. I am just too happy." Jean rubbed her eyes off the tears and said.
"I think Jean is okay." Moore tried to explain for her,"Maybe it is all the sudden excitement of becoming a mother. Zed, you should be more considerate about Jean's emotions from now on. Pregnant women can get emotional and moody because of their fluctuating hormone levels…"
"Moore, what nonsense are you talking about?" Jean suddenly flared with anger and gave Moore a threatening look.
"I got it." Zed patted Moore's shoulder in agreement and nodded to him.
"Jean, don't get worked up. I read up online when you two went to the hospital. I am just telling you scientific facts. In fact, you should be happy to see that Zed and I will be far more considerate and careful at this special time," Moore explained. "I guess the doctor might have already told you this too."
Zed nodded again admitting the truth behind Moore's words.
But, Jean pulled a long face and sulked at Moore. "I don't need you to tolerate me. It is better for you two to stay away."
After she said that, she ran inside on her own.
Zed got nervous and was just about to yell at her to slow down but she had already disappeared into the house.
"See, we have to watch our mouths in front of her from now on." Moore smiled wryly looking into the direction Jean had just sprinted in. "She couldn't understand what we said. We were trying to do what we thought is good for her but it just made her more furious."
"She has just been told that she is pregnant. I think you need to watch her moods for the time being." Zed thought he was fussing over nothing and politely smiled at Moore.
Changing the topic, Moore looked at Zed uncomfortably and said,"Zed, you will start to have some hard time from now on. I have to leave from here as soon as possible…"
"Don't you dare think about it." Zed looked at Moore and reminded him,"She is a pregnant woman now. If she doesn't approve of you leaving, then you may as well give up on the idea."
"What?" Moore exclaimed with surprise and stared at Zed,"You can't be so cruel. If Jean doesn't agree, you will not agree on my leaving?"
"What else can I do? Jean is the boss of the house now. Whatever she says, we have to follow."
Zed slyly smiled at Moore and patted his back to show his sympathy towards him. Looking back into the direction in which Jean had sprinted, he began walking towards the villa.
"You…" Moore watched Zed speechlessly.
'Seriously, Zed? So you adore your wife like that? Is that really good for her?'
As soon as Zed walked into the living room, he saw Zelda put down myriad food items on the coffee table as if they were some kind of treasures. She smiled and said,"Mrs. Jean, these are what I carefully chose for you. Please try them. They are really delicious."
