Jocelyn was first to greet Cecilia. "Hi, Ms. Smith."
Cecilia nodded and walked up to them with Jonathan and Elliot.
The two children greeted them politely, "Hi, Mr. Hayes and Ms. Wright."
"Hi." Jocelyn's usually serious face broke into a gentle smile.
Yannick also smiled. "It's only been a short while since I last saw you, and both of you have grown much taller."
Yannick had met the two children a few times with Calvin when they were abroad, so he was quite familiar with them.
The children also felt close to him.
"Mr. Hayes, when are you going to have a child, too? We went to the hospital with Mommy today and saw Ms. Kennedy's baby. He's so cute," Elliot asked, blinking.
At the mention of the word "child," Yannick's and Jocelyn's expressions changed slightly, but they recovered quickly.
Yannick cleared his throat. "You have to go with the flow for this kind of thing. It can't be rushed."
"Oh, I see." Elliot seemed to understand, and he nodded. "Mr. Hayes, then you and Ms. Wright must work hard. When you have a baby, remember to invite Jon and me over."
"Sure," Yannick replied, feeling somewhat stressed after the brief conversation.
Cecilia asked, "Are you two here for something?"
"We happened to come here for a business meeting," Jocelyn replied.
Cecilia couldn't ask what kind of meeting it was, so they parted ways following the exchange of a few pleasantries.
Jocelyn got into the car with Yannick, feeling heavy-hearted.
Elliot's words from just now made her feel slightly at a loss.
There was no way they could have a baby when she and Yannick had yet to consummate their marriage.
In fact, it wasn't that Yannick was incapable; she was the one being resistant to it.
Yannick looked out the car window at the receding figures of Elliot and Jonathan, and he couldn't help but lament, "Children are truly adorable."

Young? Yannick's already thirty-two, and I'm turning thirty years old soon.

It was Jocelyn's phone.
She quickly picked up the phone and saw that it was a call from Nicholas.
After thinking for a moment, she answered it.
"Hello," she said.
"Is this Jocelyn Wright? Your boyfriend is drunk. Do you have time to come over?"
A stranger's voice came from the other end of the line.
Why is this person holding Nicholas' phone? And what did he mean by boyfriend?
Jocelyn glanced at Yannick and then replied to the stranger, "You must be mistaken. I don't have a boyfriend."
