Chapter 975
Zachary did not bury himself in work right after returning to his office. Instead, he gave his mother a call.
Since he was not the type to contact his mother unless necessary, Tania was on tenterhooks when she got the call from her eldest son.
The way she saw it, her eldest son would only call her for huge matters. Hence, she was nervous and afraid, especially now that Zachary and Serenity had not gotten back together. As a mother and mother–in–law, Tania felt helpless about the situation.
“Zack.”
Sensing the worry hidden in his mother’s tone, Zachary answered in a relaxed tone as a way to calm her nerves, “Mom. Clive’s wife is pregnant.”
Tania was at first dumbstruck, but soon she came back in a lighter mood. “It is news worth celebrating.”
Alice’s pregnancy had not been announced in the business world as the influential family was particular about the timing. The pregnancy would only be released to the public after the pregnant wife got through the first trimester.
Since Alice was still early in her pregnancy, the news would only be kept to her closest families, the Lafayettes and Stones. It made sense that Serenity knew about the pregnancy since she was Mrs. Stone’s niece.
For Serenity to let Zachary know, it could only mean that the couple had reconciled.
This was the reason Tania was delighted. It was not that she was happy for Alice.
“I’ll prepare some supplements to give to the Stones.”
Zachary thanked his mother.
Tania said, “Our family’s relationship with the Stones doesn’t matter because Mrs. Stone is Serenity’s aunt. We don’t have to do anything if we don’t know about Alice’s pregnancy, but now that we do, we should be polite and send gifts. It’s the least I can do to be respectful.
“When are you bringing Serenity home for dinner?”
“I’ll bring her to the manor for a short stay when she has time.”
