Return Of The Real Heiress: Secrets And Masks novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588

Phoebe’s reaction threw Steven off completely, and he momentarily lost track of his thoughts.

He shook his head, trying to refocus and not let Phoebe lead him off course. “No, Mrs. Phoebe Chivers, please have some faith in Mr. Chivers. That’s absolutely impossible. There’s something else I need to share with you”

Phoebe, relieved that it wasn’t any of the things she had been worried about, calmly responded, “Oh, go ahead. I’m listening

As she spoke, she casually grabbed another snack.

Steven took a deep breath, chuckled a few times to calm himself, and then blurted out, “Mr. Chivers wife, your granddaughter–in–law Cherise, is pregnant. Mrs. Phoebe Chivers, are you surprised? Is it unexpected?”

There was complete silence on the other end of the line. Phoebe didn’t say anything, and Steven started to panic.

“Hello, Mrs. Phoebe Chivers? Mom, is everything okay? Did she pass out from getting too excited? Did you press her pressure point?” he asked.

The three men, who had been crouched, immediately stood upright, fearing that Phoebe might have overreacted and something might have happened to her.

Fortunately, after a moment, Enya spoke up. “It’s fine. Mrs. Phoebe Chivers is just a little stunned. Steven, are you sure about this? Why are you the one calling?”

Steven sighed. “It’s absolutely true. Mrs. Chivers herself told us. The couple is still in the office and hasn’t come out. They’re probably still soaking in the joy of becoming parents.”

“Well, if Mrs. Chivers said it herself, it must be true! That’s wonderful!” Enya replied, equally excited.

As Enya’s voice faded, Phoebe’s familiar, over–the–top voice rang out, “Cherise is pregnant!

I’m going to be a great–grandmother! The wedding was just a little while ago, and my grandson is already moving this quickly. That’s my grandson for you, top–notch quality!”

“Enya, quick, let’s go to the mall! Have the driver bring a bigger car. Let’s stock up, go wholesale, and buy all the pregnancy things she’ll need.

This old lady is going to hold my great–grandson! My grandson and granddaughter–in–law are about to welcome their first baby, and they’re going to be parents!”

In less than a day, the joy of Cherise and Morris was quickly known to those close to them.

It wasn’t because of Steven’s call or Phoebe’s loud announcements, but because Morris couldn’t hold back his excitement and posted an update visible only to close friends.

The caption read, [Thank you to my wife for bringing me this joy. You’ve worked hard, and while the baby is wonderful, nothing in this world compares to you.]

Below the caption was simply a photo of the pregnancy test with two red lines–simple and straightforward.

Less than five minutes after the post went up, it was flooded with likes and comments.

The first comment came from Nolan, who hadn’t appeared in a while. “Wow, Mr. Chivers, this is impressive! Not long after getting married, and you’re already going to be a dad. Looks like I need to work harder and make more money while you’re busy being a dad.”

Dora wrote, “Congratulations, Mr. Chivers! Congratulations to Cherise for joining our ranks as a hot mom. Let’s exchange some baby and parenting tips.”

Phoebe had just finished speaking when Enya added, “Cherise, Mrs. Chivers is right–we’ve all been through this.

Especially in the early stages of pregnancy, you need to be extra careful. Come, I’ve made you some soup. Wash your hands and drink it while it’s hot.

I’ll come by every now and then to cook for you, and I’ll make sure your baby grows up healthy and loved.”

Phoebe agreed with Enya, “Yes, yes, Enya thinks things through. It’s great that she’ll come cook for you. Claire, now it’s your turn to say something.”

Claire, smiling widely, looked at Cherise and Morris. “As for me, I know my cooking might not be to your taste. But when the baby comes, I can definitely help take care of them.

However, there’s one thing I need to advise you young couple. You just got married, full of energy, and now you’re pregnant.

My advice is to keep your peng eeds in check for the sake of the baby. You’ll get through this quickly.”

Claire’s words were direct, and those who understood got the message. Steven and the others were trying hard to suppress their laughter in the background. Though the words were blunt, they made sense.

However, with so many people around, Cherise’s face gradually turned red. Morris, after exchanging a glance with Cherise, lightly rubbed his forehead. He hadn’t expected his mother–in–law to be so straightforward, which made things a little awkward.

But despite the awkwardness, he still responded, “Mm, don’t worry, I’ll keep myself in check and make sure I stay aware of boundaries.”
