Chapter 3033
"Sure."
Meanwhile in Elliot's mansion, the family had gathered for dinner and Layla had asked Eric to join them, and she specifically insisted that Hayden join them as well.
Once everyone was present, Layla made her announcement with excitement, "I'm pregnant! Hahaha! I'm finally pregnant! I'm two months pregnant. I've been holding it in so hard!"
Avery immediately smiled and asked, "When did you find out? Why are you only telling us now?"
"I found out just a week ago, but there were some complications, so I had to stay in bed and take precautions for a week. I was afraid to tell you earlier because I didn't want you to worry," Layla explained.
"It's good that everything is fine now, but you need to tell me about these things. It breaks my heart to think that you are suffering alone."
"Mom, I'm actually quite optimistic about it. Although I really want a child, some things are beyond our control. I'm fine as long as Eric is by my side."
"Having a positive mindset is important during pregnancy. Now, you should focus on caring for yourself and putting your work aside for a while. It's safer to get back to your normal lifestyle after the first three months!"
Layla agreed. "That's what I think too. Regardless, I have to give birth to this child. Mom, it seems that fate is favoring me."
"Congratulations, sis!" Robert exclaimed happily. "We've had so much good news lately! Hayden and Shelly are about to get married, and now you're pregnant again. Shouldn't we celebrate with a party?" "I'll be out during the upcoming public holiday," Hayden said. "If there's a celebration, don't schedule it during that time."
"In that case, let's wait until I'm three months pregnant! If the baby is healthy by then, we can celebrate!" Layla suggested. "Sounds good." Everyone agreed.
"By the way, Hayden, what's the situation between you and Shelly? Ivy just said that you're about to get together. Why didn't you tell me anything?" Layla felt as though they had been keeping her in the dark.
Ivy quickly explained, "Layla, I don't really know what's going on either. I overheard Mom and Dad talking."
"In that case, now that we're all here, Hayden, why don't you tell us what is going on?" Layla looked at Hayden curiously.
"If things go well during the holiday, I'll let you all know," Hayden calmly replied.
"You're so calm about it that you don't seem like someone in love," Layla teased.
Avery spoke up for her son, "Your brother has changed a bit. He's starting to like children more and has become more caring. If you're expecting a complete transformation, I'm afraid it's impossible." "But he hasn't been more caring toward me," Layla complained.
"Don't you have a husband?" Hayden retorted. "Stop acting like an immature child."
"I can see that you became more tart-tongued after entering into a relationship. Shelly wouldn't argue with you, right? She's so gentle that she probably agrees with everything you say." Hayden did not argue as Shelly was indeed an obedient woman.
He liked women who were gentle yet independent. When Shelly held a different opinion as he did, she would not lose her temper and would simply calmly give her opinion on the matter. Even if Hayden refused to take her opinion, she would not get upset.
After dinner, Hayden received a message from Shelly. It contained a picture of Audrey playing with herPlease check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

team-building event with her.
[We have specific uniforms for the event. Just let me know your measurements and I will have yours delivered to you.] Hayden replied.
Shelly was instantly at a loss for words.
