Despite her disbelief, Elspeth found Harper's words plausible. Consequently, she went to the hospital immediately after work.
While holding the report in her hand, she found herself at a loss for words. I'm actually pregnant… The report indicates that I am already two months along in this pregnancy. It's unbelievable. Although I am emotionally and physically prepared for pregnancy, I am not yet mentally prepared for this.
Meanwhile, Margot was in the kitchen when Elspeth returned with the report, and seeing her distraught look, she asked, "What's wrong, Elsie? Why do you look upset? Is work too busy?"
"I'm pregnant."
Although Elspeth casually uttered these words, Margot reacted immensely as she appeared shocked and exclaimed, "Really? You're pregnant? How many months? When did this happen? Why didn't I realize?"
Elspeth was stumped by the barrage of questions. She then nodded, her gaze fixed on Margot's bright smile. "Two months."
"So, I'm going to be a grandmother? That's wonderful! Do you know how long I've been looking forward to this day, Elsie?" Margot was so overjoyed that she almost reached out to grab and lift her into the air. After that, she led Elspeth to a couch, where she promptly began to slice fruits, arrange them on a plate, and set it atop the coffee table. "You'll be at the center of our attention from now on. Anyone who dares to bully you, I won't spare them. Just let me know what you would like to eat or do, and I will have Callum prepare it!"
When Callum walked in through the door and saw his mother's ecstatic expression, he believed something momentous had happened, so he asked, "What's going on?"
"What do you mean? How in the world are you even allowed to call yourself Elsie' husband if you are completely unaware of this?" After saying this, Margot gave her son a disapproving look, which left him perplexed.
Since his mother was usually not so biased against him, he wondered if she had taken the wrong medication today as her attitude toward him seemed to have changed overnight.
Then, she placed her hands on her hips as she looked at his dumbfounded expression. "Hurry up and take care of your wife. She's pregnant, you know?"
Pregnant? He clearly didn't understand what was being said as he muttered under his breath.
"What's wrong? Have you gone cuckoo from being too overjoyed?"
Nevertheless, Elspeth found Callum's reaction amusing and uttered, "I'm only two months pregnant. It's nothing significant."
In the following instant, Callum quickly walked over to her, kneeled, and rested his head on her abdomen. "Let me listen to the baby."
However, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at him and stated, "It's only been a few months, so how can you hear anything."
"You don't understand the bond that exists between me and my son—"
"Who said it's a son? What if it's a daughter?"
"A daughter would be even better. I love daughters the most." Callum didn't care whether they had a son or a daughter; he was just thrilled to have a child. Then, he added, "Let me think about what name to give the child."
Elspeth couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this. "Even though the child still hasn't fully formed, you can't wait to give them a name."
"How do you know about that?"
Elspeth chuckled and replied, "You were cautious but did not completely cover your tracks. How could I not know?"
After hearing this, Callum explained, "It wasn't my intention to keep it a secret; I just didn't want to be a burden on you. Moreover, I'm not that concerned about him. I just thought…" He stopped mid-sentence when he realized he couldn't remain objective toward Cameron. After all, the child's veins carried his blood, and even if he didn't feel affectionate toward the child, he still had sympathy for the kid.
"I understand your actions, and I don't blame you. If I were in your shoes, I would have done the same, if not more. After all, you're his father, and all these things are expected of you." As she said this, she glanced at his mounting guilt and grabbed his hand. "All right, stop blaming yourself. I don't mean to blame you. Go and freshen up; let's go to Edmund's house now."
About 40 minutes later, Elspeth and Callum arrived at Edmund's house right on time.
On the other hand, Cameron was happily sifting through the dirt in the villa's private garden with a small shovel. When she pushed the door open, and the boy saw her, his smile faded before it was quickly replaced by a wary expression. Since they had only met a handful of times and she stood in the distance, he mistook her for a stranger when he saw her enter the home.
"Cam, where's your daddy?" Elspeth asked the question awkwardly because, in her mind, Edmund wasn't yet his father.
"Daddy went to work. Oh, it's you."
As she approached step by step, Cameron finally let go of his guard. "You must be... Elsie, right?"
