After some time, Janine smiled and turned to look at Cordelia and hold her hand.
“How’s she thin? I think she’s just nice!”
Hannah was stunned.
Janine’s gaze on Cordelia was not scrutinizing like other mothers-in-law to their daughters-in-law. Instead, she looked like a loving mother looking over her own daughter.
“Why would she put on so much? She’ll suffer when she’s in labor if her stomach is too big. And it’s hard to recover postpartum! Our Cordelia’s doing well like this. She’ll be as pretty as she’s been after delivery!”
Hannah noted that things were going wrong for her. What was happening? They were talking about “working out” just now.
She said with a chuckle, “Janine, you’re right. She shouldn’t put on so much so recovery’s easier postpartum! Heh, I think Cordelia’s very pretty now. Why else would Zephyr not leave the house at all?”
“Isn’t it normal for the husband and wife to be in a loving relationship?” Janine threw a sharp look at her.
Hannah’s heart dropped as she stood frozen.
“What are you trying to say, Hannah?” Janine scoffed. “Why? Can’t stand them being so in love? Or are you being sulky on behalf of somebody?”
“You…” Hannah’s eyes bulged.
Janine rolled her eyes at her.
She knew the mother and daughter too well! Before Zephyr met Cordelia, Ava would put up a show, flirting coquettishly and clinging to him, each time he was back in Chaiseland.
Because there was a Nelly Tanner back in the Hamertons, Ava did not dare do it too openly.
Janine trusted her son’s willpower too, so she pretended not to see it.
Now that her son was married and was going to be a father soon, Hannah and Ava were still hitting on him!? It was intolerable!
