Jean smiled a beautiful smile to herself. Whenever she thought of her life after having the baby, she would turn sentimental and daydream.
'Moore, irrespective of whether you are returning to the Bai family or not, the Qi family will always be your rock.
Forgive me, Moore. That is all I can do for you.'
Zed's phone call to his parents who were vacationing overseas got them to change their plans and rush home at top speed.
So when Zed and Jean were sleeping in their bedroom, Zelda's thrilled voice could be heard from downstairs.
"Mr. and Mrs. Qi, welcome back!" Zelda received them with surprise and excitement.
"Hush…" Jade signalled Zelda to keep quiet and she looked up at the couple's bedroom gingerly. After she made sure that they hadn't woken up, she quietly said," Don't make any noise. It'll wake Jean up."
Zelda nodded and she tried hard to control her happiness.
"How is Jean? Is she doing alright?" Jade simply ignored her husband Sean and drew Zelda aside to enquire about all the details.
Zelda nodded fervently and said," Mrs. Jean is doing fine although she is starting feeling sick now. It is hard for her actually. She throws up whatever she eats, because of which she looks a bit worn out."
"It will be alright, now that I am back. I will take good care of her. I know how to feed her to keep her well-nourished and let her give birth to a big and healthy grandson for me." Jade said with joy.
Seeing Jade wallow in happiness, Zelda started feeling sorry for her.
'If Mrs. Qi realizes that the baby in Mrs. Jean's womb is a granddaughter instead of a grandson, she will get very disappointed.'
However, Zed's warning echoed in her mind and she covered her mouth impulsively with her hand. Looking uneasy, she said," Mrs. Qi, you and Mr. Qi please take some rest. I will go prepare breakfast for you."
Zelda turned to the kitchen and planned to scuttle before they paid attention to something else.
Jade was fast enough to grab her hand. She smiled and said," You just need to prepare the basics. I will come and cook in a moment."
"Mrs. Qi…" Zelda shook her head," You just got off the plane. You must be tired. It is better to let me do it."
"I am so happy to cook for my grandson. I am not tired." Jade said laughingly," You get everything ready in the kitchen. I will come down after freshening up."
Jade began walking towards the guest room upstairs.
Sean was already in the guest room when Jade came in. Seeing Jade fussing around, he couldn't help asking her," What are you doing instead of taking some rest?"
"I have to cook for my grandson. I need to keep Jean well-fed so that my grandson will also be…"
Jade gabbled on as she changed her clothes.
"Look at yourself. Don't keep saying grandson all the time. What if it is a girl? Will you be heartbroken in that case? It is not a big deal that you get disappointed then, but it would be terribly awkward for Zed and Jean."
Sean tried to reason with her and get her to calm herself down.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I am sure it is a big boy in Jean's belly. You just believe me." After Jade changed into comfortable clothes, she went to the bathroom to wash up.
Finding his warning hadn't worked at all, Sean shook his head with resignation.
'I have to give Zed a heads-up and ask him to prepare Jean.'
Soon enough, he began doubting whether it was a good idea to hurry back home.
