The news of Nell’s pregnancy spread quickly.
The Leith family naturally knew about it and the Shelby family also heard about it.
Gale Shelby especially took the time to come over to see her. The niece-uncle pair had not seen each other for a long time and caught up with each other.
At noon, Nell originally wanted her uncle to stay for lunch, but Gale refused.
He looked at her lovingly and smiled.
"I just took the time to come over to see you. I also have a lunch date with a friend at noon, so I won't stay for lunch. Take care of your body and watch out for your stomach. Don't be too tired and call me anytime if you need anything."
Nell nodded and did not force him anymore. She sent him out personally before going back in.
She did not expect that after going back, she did not sit for long before Old Master Leith and Old Madam Quinton came to visit along with Gideon's aunt, Jean Leith.
Nell and Gideon lived in Fengqiao Villa and did not go to the Leith Residence often because they were busy. Secondly, the two elderly were not like ordinary old people who felt lonely in their old age. They liked their freedom and did not like others disturbing them.
Therefore, Nell and Gideon only visited them every weekend.
At this time, the two elderly came together for their great-grandchild.
Nell welcomed them in with a smile. The Old Madam looked at Nell’s stomach, which was still flat and nothing could be seen, but it seemed as if she could already see her great-grandchild. She smiled so much that she could not close her mouth.
"Aww, Nelly! Don't stand so much, quick, sit down! Let me tell you. Don't think you can relax because it's your second pregnancy. Whenever a woman gives birth, it’s a close call to heaven. Even if this is your second pregnancy, it’s not necessarily easier than the first."
Nell laughed and ordered Aunt Joyce to make tea before she asked, "Why are you guys here today?"
The Old Madam gave her a look and said, "Silly child. You have such good news! Can't we come over to see it?"
At this time, Jean Leith, who had been silent, also interjected.
"Yes, yes. We’re all happy for you and came here to see you."
In the past, Jean did not like Nell and had troubled her quite a bit.
However, so many years had gone by. Perhaps because they had gotten along after all these years and knew that Nell's character was not as bad as she thought or perhaps because she saw that the relationship between Gideon and Nell was long-lasting and could not be broken up, so she resigned herself to her fate.
In any case, in the past few years, she no longer targeted Nell as she did in the beginning, and was even quite friendly at times.
Nell knew that Gideon had lost both his parents at a young age and his aunt had helped to raise him, so she was naturally happy that they both got along.
She saw that Jean was so affectionate, so she smiled and said, “Aunty, thanks for your concern and even made you come all the way here. We also just got the news two days ago. The doctor said that the baby’s healthy, so don’t worry.”
The Old Madam nodded her head and said, "That's good then."
She then asked with concern, "How old is the baby?"
Nell replied, "Just turned six weeks old."
"Oh, it's already six weeks. How did you just find out?"
Jean started to nag.
"You know, these first three months are the most dangerous. What if something happens?"
As soon as she said this, the Old Madam was not happy.
