Somehow, Sara Hart detected a hint of teasing in Adrian Blake's voice. She nodded obediently, afraid that he might misunderstand her. Quickly, she added, "Last night was an accident. I usually don't drink."

"Hmm," Adrian Blake replied lightly. It was clear to him that she wasn't lying. But the difference between her sober self and her drunken behavior was striking.

As they fell into silence, Adrian's phone suddenly vibrated twice.

He glanced at the screen - it was a string of wild messages from Lucas Graves in their four-person group chat:

- "Adrian, how was it last night?"

- "With a beauty in your arms, did you make a move?"

- "With that soft, cuddly beautiful lady, are you seriously gonna play the gentleman?"

Adrian Blake's expression twitched slightly as he scanned the messages. Without hesitation, he pressed the side button and locked his phone.

Sara Hart, still sitting next to him, noticed his abrupt reaction and looked at him curiously.

"Just some spam messages," Adrian said nonchalantly.

Sara nodded. Spam messages were indeed annoying - she usually ignored them, too.

Just then, Grandma Blake entered the room, holding little Jimmy's hand.

Jimmy Blake ran straight to Sara and handed her a jasmine flower.

"For me?" Sara asked, a bit surprised.

"No," Jimmy shook his head and leaned closer, signaling her to bend down. Standing on his tiptoes, he whispered in her ear, "It's for the little sister."

Sara Hart's face instantly turned bright red. She glanced at Adrian Blake, then turned her back to him before whispering to Jimmy, "Jimmy, do not say that!"

Jimmy glanced at Adrian with wide eyes and replied innocently, "I didn't say it in front of Adrian!"

Sara Hart: ...

"Alright, Jimmy, you're right. We won't mention it anymore."

Kyle Thorne entered at that moment and caught sight of the two whispering conspiratorially. "Jimmy, what are you two whispering about with Sara?"

Suddenly, both Sara and Jimmy froze, and even Adrian looked over.

Jimmy looked from Adrian to Kyle, his small face scrunching up as if deeply conflicted.

Kyle Thorne plopped down beside Jimmy. "Hey, Jimmy, is there something that I can't know?"

Jimmy Blake puffed up his chest and declared, "We're talking about the little sister!" He pointed directly at Sara's stomach, his childlike voice ringing out clearly.

Everyone was stunned. Kyle Thorne turned to look at Adrian Blake, then back at Sara Hart, with sheer disbelief written on his face. "You two..."

Could it be that there was already a baby on the way?

Sara Hart was completely taken aback, her face flushed a deep red. Right now, she wished she could find a hole to hide in!

She looked at Jimmy with a helpless expression, silently pleading, "Didn't we agree not to say anything?"

How would Adrian Blake interpret this?

Jimmy's dark eyes blinked innocently. He reasoned to himself that while he wasn't supposed to tell Adrian, Sara had never mentioned Kyle Thorne.
