Alan touched her little head. "You're so clever."
"Yeah, yeah!" Annie danced and cheered.
The news that Olive was pregnant has exploded at the Steele family.
"Is it true or false?" Chloe came up to look at her flat stomach and even held out her hand to touch it.
Olive's parents looked surprised, and then they looked happy as if they had just won a million dollars.
"You may as well have another child, as Annie will have a companion."
After the joy, Annie suddenly remembered something. "But Dad, didn't you say you didn't want Mommy to have to work hard to give birth to my baby brother or my baby sister? So why is Mommy pregnant again?"
The question the family wanted to ask was asked by Annie, so everyone looked at Alan, waiting for his answer.
"Your Mommy was disobedient, as she stole a baby from your Dad, so do you think I should spank her?" When Alan talked about this, he also felt a little helpless.
Annie nodded like a grown-up. "Mommy deserves to be spanked by you, but Dad, are you willing to spanking Mommy?"
What Annie said choked Alan, but it delighted the whole family.
Olive joined in, raising an eyebrow defiantly. "Yeah, are you willing to spank me?"
Of course, Alan couldn't bear to spank or scold Olive, so finally, he could only use his fingers to knock on her forehead helplessly. "I'll settle with you later."
Olive playfully stuck her tongue out at him, and then she grimaced because she's not afraid of what he said.
Olive's mother rushed to buy a lot of vegetables and meat, and then she made a lot of good dishes to fill the table.
Olive's bowl was overflowing, but someone kept pouring food into her bowl with chopsticks.
"Enough, enough." She was too busy trying to refuse, and when she couldn't refuse, she sent the bowl under the table, because if they put any more food in her bowl, she would eat too much even now that she was pregnant. "Please, don't be so nervous, because it's not my first pregnancy."
"When you were pregnant with Annie, your Dad was in the hospital, so you had to work day and night to support the family. I didn't take good care of you, while I made you suffer..."
Olive's mother felt a pang of pain at the mention of the past, and Alan was guilty of what she had said, as he still felt the throbbing of guilt at his heart.
"Mom, let bygones be bygones, and aren't we all right now?" Olive interrupted her mother. In the past, the conditions were so bad, but she was able to give birth to Annie, while now everything was OK, and the baby's father has been accompanied by her side, so they really didn't have to be so nervous.
She could see the care and anticipation of her family for her new baby.
In the evening, while Alan was playing chess with Olive's father, Olive's mother came to Olive's room. Although her son-in-law was kind to her daughter, Mrs. Hoyle refused to accept Olive. Now that the wedding was just around the corner, Olive's mother was a little worried about something going wrong.
"When you went to Jiangcheng to take photos, did you visit your mother-in-law? Did she treat you better?"
Olive sat down on the bed with her mother. "Mom, I was just going to tell you about this."
