Pearl blinked and remained silent. She decided to change the topic because the conversation was becoming uncomfortable. "Why don't we go downstairs?"
Sean agreed with a nod. "Okay, let's head down."
Together, they walked down the stairs where they saw Richard, who looked gloomy.
"Rick, have you been waiting long?"
Richard sighed deeply, a sad look in his eyes. "No, I'm just worried you might feel sick or tired since you're pregnant."
It seemed like Richard was trying to make sure everyone knew about Pearl's pregnancy.
Pearl knew what he was doing and decided not to confront him about it, understanding he was feeling jealous. "It's fine. I just wandered around upstairs. I wasn't too tired."
Sean looked shocked. "You're pregnant?"
Pearl gently touched her belly, glowing with the joy of an expectant mother. "That's right."
"Yeah, so when are you getting married?" Richard asked, testing Sean's reaction.
Sean shrugged. "I'm not thinking about marriage right now. Besides, I have Chet. That makes me less eager to marry. What if I end up with someone who doesn't treat Chet well?"
Pearl considered this. "It seems like you do care for Chet and think of him as your own son."
