The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 253: "I Owe You Everything"

Hye Kyo gave her husband a look, as if she was silently asking him for permission to share the news with her mother. Indeed, she had gained a considerable weight this past week and with twins growing inside of her, she would show faster than those who were carrying singleton babies.

"Lisa and I are expecting. Is it that obvious?" She said, as she failed to suppress the smile that spread on her face upon thinking of it. Just the thought that she would be able to become a mother this time filled her with immense happiness.

Hye Kyo broke into a wide smile while Sa Rang lightly squealed before covering her mouth in surprise, excusing herself.

"You are glowing, darling." Her mother responded with teary eyes. "I can't help but notice."

"Congratulations, Jennie! This is really good news. It's been awhile since the last child birth in our Song family. I can't wait to share this news with Father." Sa Rang said excitedly.

"Auntie Sa Rang, Lisa and I are hoping you keep this a secret for the time being, just until I get past the twelfth week mark." Jennie gave her aunt an apologetic smile.

Hye Kyo frowned and held her daughter's hands.

"Why? Is there something wrong with you and the baby?" She asked worriedly. "But if that's what you really want, I guess we'll just wait for you to announce it to the rest of our family."

Her daughter had fallen pregnant just a few weeks after she moved to the Song Mansion. Hye Kyo was starting to wonder if she made the wrong choice of leaving her daughter's side. Had she known this would happen, she should have waited a little longer before deciding to move out.

"Babies, Mother." Lisa corrected his mother-in-law. "Jennie and I are expecting twins." He said proudly.

"Twins?!" Hye Kyo gasped. Had she heard her son-in-law right? "You're really having twins?"

She couldn't contain her happiness anymore and pulled her daughter into a tight hug. She was really relieved to know that Jennie wouldn't have to face the same criticisms she did when she couldn't conceive a child during her long marriage with her ex-husband.

"Oh, Jennie. I'm so happy for you and Lisa. I can't wait to meet your children."

Jennie's heart clenched painfully, hearing her mother's words. She didn't have the heart to tell her mother her condition, fearing that it would only cause her distress. It hadn't been too long since Hye Kyo was hospitalized and Jennie would rather wait and see if her condition would improve under Han Zijun's care.

She met Rosé's gaze and she knew right then that she had made the right choice of not telling her mother about her being poisoned. Seeing her mother happy like this, then delivering the bad news, would be heartless even for someone like her.

"You are already pregnant, are you sure you can still continue working?" Hye Kyo asked once she and Sa Rang finally calmed down and took a seat, drinking their tea.

"Actually, Mother. I was planning to ask you about that." Lisa took a seat next to his wife while Rosé sat across from them. "I'm hoping you can convince Jennie to take a maternal leave at some point before she gives birth to the twins."

This would also give Jennie a good excuse to step back from the limelight and focus on her pregnancy and treatments.

Jennie gave her husband's hand a tight squeeze before giving him a pointed look. She should have known that Lisa would use this opportunity to convince her to stay at home and not work.

"Ah, then…" Hye Kyo hesitated for a bit but Sa Rang assured her.

"It's alright, Sister Kyo. I'm sure Father would understand." Sa Rang said. "Since Jennie is carrying twins, her pregnancy might be delicate."
