"Is it true?" Diana was excited, somewhat incredulous. Whenever they had discussed this over video calls, her parents had never given a clear answer, somewhat evasive. However, these parents had a habit: they never lied in front of their children.
Alfie, on the other hand, jumped up in joy immediately, "Yay! I'm going to be a big brother! This is awesome!" His footprints dug deep into the accumulated snow. Alfie fully believed in his parents' words, they would never lie to children! Their trustworthiness was absolutely explosive!
Hearing this, Aubree turned her gaze to her daughter-in-law, suppressing her inner joy, she asked uncertainly, "Jennie, is this true? Is Ting just joking?" The surprise was too sudden, she no longer trusted her own son.
"It's true, mom." Jennifer turned her gaze, her eyes soft, her lips touched with a smile of happiness. She took out an ultrasound report from her pocket and handed it to her, "We just came back from the hospital, this is the result of the check-up we just got."
Aubree quickly took it, stopped her footsteps in the snow, and read the words on it twice. The smile on her lips gradually deepened, she was thrilled! Jennifer stood still, holding her breath, watching every expression of her mother-in-law. Seeing her mother-in-law's happiness, her gaze also became incredibly soft.
"That's great!" Aubree revealed a joyous smile, her hand holding the report was trembling, "I'm going to be a grandmother again! These days, the only wealth that can't be bought with money is children. If childbirth wasn't so painful, we could really have more." The fact that her mother-in-law also loved children made Jennifer very happy.
"Come, come, let's go inside." Aubree quickly pulled her into the living room, and instructed, "Don't catch a cold, don't go to the company recently, okay? I heard the temperature is going to drop." Then she looked at her son, "Ivan, you handle the company's affairs!"
"..."
"Oh, Jennie, do you have any early pregnancy symptoms? How do you feel?" Just as Jennifer was about to speak, Aubree interrupted, "Are you eating well? Sleeping well?"
"I..." Jennifer was about to speak.
"If you feel uncomfortable, you must tell Dr. Watson, he can help!" Aubree was very happy and also very worried about her, "Although you have childbirth experience, childbirth for women is inherently a hardship." She simply treated her like her own daughter.
Feeling the sincere love from her mother-in-law, Jennifer was very touched.
She reached out and gently hugged her mother-in-law, "Mom, thank you for always taking care of our children and worrying about me. Don't worry, I'm doing well."
"I'm also willing to take care of this child after you give birth." Aubree hugged her, "Isn't it a grandmother's job to take care of the children? I can't trust a nanny to do it." She had truly accepted and grown to like her.
They say time tests everything, this mother-daughter-in-law relationship was very stable.
