Diana nodded, making it clear she understood.
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I know how to handle this.”
After all, the family had made countless enemies.
Many people could not stand seeing them live well.
Diana understood all too well that standing too high made one an easy target.
Moreover, Aurora was still in her first trimester, and the pregnancy was far from stable.
If someone with ulterior motives found out, wouldn’t their first grandchild be lost before birth?!
Thinking of that possibility made Diana feel a lingering fear.
“Yes, yes, you’re right. The two of you are doing the right thing. This matter must be kept well hidden.”
Because of Lucas’ words, Diana instantly became tense as well.
At first, she had wanted to share the good news with others.
But after hearing what her son said, she realized how serious the situation was.
Aurora’s pregnancy had to be kept secret.
Only once everything had settled and the situation was firmly under control could they consider anything else.
Even so, the joy in Diana’s eyes was impossible to hide.
“I really didn’t expect it to happen so quickly. You’re truly a great contributor to our family.”
Hearing this, Aurora felt a little awkward.
But she still smiled and said, “Mom, this was my own choice. Being able to carry on the family line also makes me very happy.”
“Good child. Hearing you say that truly makes me happy.”
As she spoke, Diana slipped the bracelet off her wrist.
“Here, this is just a small token of my affection.”
Aurora hurriedly waved her hands. “That won’t do, Mom. This is far too valuable.”
“Take it. I already said it’s just a small token from Mom.”
Diana pretended to be unhappy as she said, “You child, if you insist on being so polite with me, I really won’t be happy.”
“But…”
So, she truly felt uncomfortable accepting it.
On top of that, with one look, it was clearly an extremely valuable gem.
Aurora felt deeply conflicted.
She felt it was not right to take something from Diana.
Just as she was still hesitating, Philip slowly walked down from upstairs.
“Little Aurora, you should accept it. This is all your mother-in-law’s heartfelt intention.”
At his words, everyone present looked upstairs.
Aurora was a little puzzled when she heard him speak.
“Grandpa, you…”
“Little girl, I heard everything you were saying just now.”
As he spoke, Philip glanced at the bracelet in Diana’s hand.
“You should accept your mother-in-law’s goodwill.”
