Harper tapped the table and burst out in laughter. "I didn't expect him to overreact so madly. I'm very restrained at home now. He doesn't allow me to do anything, and puts me on a strict diet. Pregnancy itself isn't hard for me, but his restrictive orders are hard to take..."
A glint of something arose in Zack's eyes, but his face became gentler. "Caroline is also pregnant now. She has had terrible morning sickness. She quickly vomits whatever she eats. George is so worried about her."
"Wow, it's great to hear that Caroline is pregnant!" Delighted, Harper stopped tapping on the table. "I'll prepare some pills for her morning sickness and have them delivered to her later. It may help relieve her pain."
"I thank you on her behalf."
Harper gave him a reproachful glance and said, "Don't be so formal with me. I wonder how Hansen has been since he was in the north domain."
"Don't worry about him. Shawn is also in the north domain to help him. Where is Gigi? Has she been taken away by Lady Casey again?"
"Alas. After she stayed at our mansion for just two days, Lady Casey came and brought her back to her mansion. She said that she couldn't fall asleep if she couldn't see Gigi. Now it's difficult for me to even see her."
"Lady Casey's daughter-in-law hasn't been pregnant yet. Thus, she has to spend all her time taking care of Gigi. I'm sure it's easier for you to have them take care of her." Zack smiled. "The weather has been warm. I heard that the peach blossoms in the Holy Chant Temple have bloomed. Let's find a good day and see the peach blossoms there."
"No, thank you. Rather than watch them, I prefer to cut them." Matthew's voice rang out abruptly. As he strode in, he fixed his eyes on Zack and asked him, "Grand Secretary Franklin is about to retire. Have you been free recently?"
"Your Highness, as long as you don't get me in trouble, I can spare some time to enjoy the peach blossoms."
"My Harper has no time to enjoy the peach blossoms. She needs to take care of herself and the baby," Matthew said coldly as he sat down next to Harper. "If you want to enjoy the peach blossoms, I'll ask my men to dig up all the peach trees in the Holy Chant Temple and plant them in your yard."
Hearing his words, Harper glanced at him and said in a blaming tone, "If you do that, the abbot of the Holy Chant Temple will have a quarrel with you."
"Chodak dug up one already; why can't I?" Matthew questioned innocently. Harper had no idea how to respond. Eventually, she said, "I don't care about peach blossoms."
"Well, I don't like them either. Otherwise, I have to cut them off one by one." Matthew's voice was emotionless, but Zack got his point.
"Your Highness, it's said that your mansion can't sustain any flowers even if they are planted in your garden. Harper is afraid that the peach blossoms will be ruined."
