Leah gripped Penelope's hand tightly, "Whether you have a baby or not, you'll always be Lucian’s wife, got it?"
"I got it."
"Oh, that keepsake Lucian gave you. Keep it safe. Don't lose it."
"Mom, don't worry. I've been keeping it safe. I take it with me every time I go to the Lindbergs."
"Good."
...
Saturday, the Lindberg family dinner.
George was heading back to the Lindberg Corporation in Summerfield tomorrow. So tonight, the Lindberg family gathered in full force. Even the perpetually late Jason showed up early, and Aidan made a special trip back.
Seeing the whole family together was a rare sight, Carter chuckled and nodded. "Let's have a toast."
Cora reminded, "Dad, don't drink too much. The doctor warned you."
Carter chuckled, "I know my limits. In a few months, I'll be seeing Lucian's child. I'm looking forward to it every day, keeping myself healthy just for that day."
A flicker of panic flashed in Penelope's eyes. She forced a smile, but she was nervous inside.
The Lindbergs all cared about the baby in her belly. If it turned out that it wasn't a Lindberg child, she'd be screwed.
Miranda smiled gently, "Penelope, have you been taking the medicine I prepared for you?"
"Yes, Miranda, don't worry, all my prenatal check-ups went well."
Seeing the tension at the table, Cora quickly intervened, "Alright, we're eating. Let's be nice. Eat, everyone. Lucian, have some more of this. Aidan, stay a bit longer this time. We miss you."
Aidan responded with a wry smile, "Of course."
He would definitely stay here longer.
...
Allison came home early in the evening. She returned so early that Grace was still up. Seeing Allison, Grace immediately got up and said, "I prepared some supper for you. I'll go heat it up."
After changing clothes and taking a shower, Allison walked into the living room. She sat on the couch and noticed Grace's phone on the couch. The screen was still on, showing what looked like an ad. Oh, isn't that Penelope?
She picked up Grace's phone and took a closer look at the ad featuring Penelope on the screen.
