It was amzing how a little life was growing inside the belly.

“They can even hear sounds from the outside world,” a deep, resonant voice accompanied by the sound of a cane interrupted them.

Stephanie looked up and saw George at the door. She instinctively took a half–step back, her cheeks still slightly flushed. Dominick on the other hand withdrew his hand with a neutral expression.

“Why laid Grandpa suddenly appeared? she thought.

“There’s a lot of formaldehyde here. Don’t stay too long. They were indeed grandfather and grandion, even speaking the exact words with the

George looked energetic, with his eightieth birthday coming up next month and the birth of his great–grandsons around the same time. If the children were born on the same day, what a joy that would be.

Brad wasn’t accompanying him. George had just come to check what additional items were needed for the children’s room.

The birth of his great–grandsons was now the most important event for the Wellingtons.

With this thought, George’s sharp gaze swept over the couple. Dissatisfied, he scolded, “You two shouldn’t argue. The baby can hear it, and it’s not good for them, Relationships aren’t easy, and there are so many missed connections in the world. Since you’ve found each other, you should cherish and be patient with one another.

Every encounter was destined.

Stephanie felt a flutter in her heart. She raised her head and met his gare. He was looking at her, too.

“Babies are the smartest, George said, his mood lifted as he looked at Stephanie with praise.

Stephanie blushed, feeling embarrassed. “Thank you.”

George glanced at her and said. “I wasn’t talking to you” He left the words with a straight face.

He was trying to communicate with his precious great–grandsons

Stephanie was very embarrassed, but Dominick suddenly chuckled.

The baby inside can hear us. You two need to be mindful of your words and actions. George admonished.

As George strolled around the room, he suddenly thought they should add a bookshelf to let his great–grandsons be influenced by classical literature from an early age. He immediately decided to have someone handle it and, without bothering further with the couple, eagerly went downlain to discuss it with the butler.

“Tirandja is thrilled,” Stephanie smiled, watching George’s brisk steps.

The third–floor door wasn’t locked, and all the windows were open for ventilation. The colorful cartoon murals on the walls were adorable.

Last time, Stephanie hadn’t looked closely. This time, she examined the walls with their vivid depictions of deep– up in the corner, and the sea fish and castle knights. The breeze stirred the crystal wind chimes on the left side, producing a clear, tinkling sound. This place felt like a fairytale world.

She remembered the small sleeping room for the child on the far right. As expected, two adorable wooden beds were set up wardrobe was filled with new clothes, from newborn outfits to those for a three–year–old.

Stephanie took down a few cute outfits and couldn’t help but mutter a bit, “Grandpa bought these clothes way too early. By the time the kids can wear them, they’ll be out of style. Those sly merchants must have really sweet–talked him”NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

She stared at the clothes in the wardrobe for a while and suddenly realized something that bothered her.

“Why did they buy the same outfits for twins? How will we tell them apart?” she muttered to herself as she tidied the tiny clothes, her voice so low it was barely audible.

However, Dominick, standing outside the door, could clearly see her profile, her brow slightly furrowed in dissatisfaction.

Because all the windows on the third floor were open, the midday sun poured in brightly, comforting the space.

Dominick leaned against the doorframe, quietly watching Stephanie.

Her gentle movements as she folded the clothes, her fluttering eyelashes, her murmured complaints, and her rounded belly carrying their child were all under the warm sunlight, and every little action was beautiful.

“Did you come looking for me” When Stephanie turned and noticed him, she was unclear how long he had been standing there.

He didn’t respond but just gazed at her.

Feeling awkward under his stare, Stephanie hastily looked out the window, trying to explain, I was bored and came up to see how everything was set up.

“Sandra said you waited for me to have breakfast?” He mentioned another topic out of nowhere.

“No, I didn’t.” Stephanie was flustered by his intense gaze. “I didn’t wait for you. I already ate.”

“Is that so?” His tone was calm. His face showed no emotion.

He suddenly turned around. “There’s still some formaldehyde here. Don’t stay too long.”

With that, he walked out, leaving her standing there, stunned.

Stephanie thought, ‘He showed up out of nowhere and left just as quickly. Wasn’t he here to see me? Leaving without saying much. How baffling

“Mr. Wellington wasn’t always so cold and distant. Sometines, he wants to show he cares but doesn’t know how.”

She often found this man peculiar. People around her often smiled and told her, “May be he just wants to see you”

He just misses you… she repeated.

“Dominick!” A surge of emotion rose within her, and she called out loudly.

The man ahead stopped and immediately turned to look at her.
