Knowing that the grandparents will have a lot to say after they heard the news of Edith's pregnancy, both Edith and Neil decided to break the news to Neil's parents on the weekend.

The grandparents were hanging around in the living area, accompanying Hazel as she continued to assemble the model that Alex had given her. Both Sophie and Lucas did not understand much about their granddaughter's recent hobby but found it interesting how Hazel could stay focus on building them. The focus and serious look on Hazel's face were especially adorable.

Neil exchanged his glance with his wife before the two walked over and sit on the sofa. 

Sensing the sudden movement, both Sophie and Lucas looked up. They saw the serious look on their son's face and knew right away that the two had something to talk about.

"What's with that look on your face?" Lucas asked.

"Mom, dad, there is something that we have to tell you," Neil said after a brief silence.

The grandparents exchanged a glance. Sophie sat up straight as she began to worry. A lot of thoughts went to her mind after hearing those words. Her son's tone was a little firm and Sophie was afraid that he was going to break the bad news.

Sophie never knew much about the company. However, she had heard a few things from her husband and she knew that her son was a little busy with a lot of things, especially the upcoming audit.

Meanwhile, Hazel looked up at the grownups, wondering if she should stay around with her model or leave. However, when her Auntie Edith started to pat hat her hair, Hazel decided that it would be alright for her to listen.

Neil reached for Edith's hand and held it tightly. "Mom, dad." He paused to look at their expression. "Edith is pregnant."

The grandparents turned their heads swiftly towards Edith. Their gaze fell on her flat stomach and they were starting to wonder if they have perhaps misheard things.

"Then, I'm going to be a big sister?" Hazel was the first to speak.

The little girl could still remember the last time her Auntie Edith had spoken to her a little bit about it at Alex's house. At the thought that she was going to be a big sister, Hazel was a little excited. However, she then recalled that her friend, Alex had mentioned Tyler's little sister, and suddenly, Hazel was a little worried.

"That's right." Edith kissed the top of Hazel's hair. "You're going to be a big sister."

It was at this time that both Sophie and Lucas were able to react. 

"Are you sure?" Sophie said. Her gaze shifted between her son and daughter-in-law. The expression on her face was as if she was excited, but did not dare to celebrate too early in case it was only a false alarm.

"Hmm…" Neil nodded. "We went to the hospital and had a check-up. The doctor confirmed that there is a baby."

Sophie turned to her husband and suddenly tightened her grip on his hand. The smile on her face widened and she could no longer hide her excitement. "That's good. That is good news."

"Now that you are expecting a child you need to look after your wife more," Lucas said. "I know that you are busy with the company, but make sure you spend time with your wife and Hazel as well." A long sigh escaped him. Lucas turned to his wife and his gaze became gentler. "When I build MH Group, I intended to let my wife and kids live well without worry. What's the use of that amount of money if you cannot make your wife and kids happy. Neil, do you understand what I said?"

"I know." Neil nodded. "Dad, don't worry."

A while later, Sophie pulled her daughter-in-law aside and began to ask her all sorts of questions about her pregnancy.

Edith lowered her head as she was a little embarrassed to answer those questions. "Mom, actually, I don't know much about pregnancy. I was hoping that since you're going to stay in the city for a while, you can teach me a thing or two."

Sophie slapped her thigh as a thought came to her mind. "That's right. I have almost forgotten." She looked at her granddaughter-in-law and smiled. "You don't have to worry. I will employ an auntie to look over you and your diet."

"Ah?" Edith blinked back.

"In a few weeks, you might start experiencing morning sickness. It's better if we have a professional to look after you." The look on her face turned gentler. "Previously, when Hazel's mother was pregnant with her, we have hired a professional to look after her as well. This way, we would be more assured."

As someone who did not know much about pregnancy, Edith quickly agreed. 

Suddenly, Sophie's expression changed again and this time, there was a tinge of panic. "I almost forgot. Edith, ask your grandfather to pack up. Later, we will ask someone to drive him to the city." 

"My grandpa?"

"Now that you are pregnant, we cannot delay the wedding any longer. Let's bring your wedding forward before your stomach started to show." Seeing the blank look on her daughter-in-law's face, Sophie was a little hesitant. "Or would you rather have the wedding after you've given birth?"

Edith snapped out of her thoughts when she realized that Sophie had wanted to invite her Grandfather to discuss the wedding.

"No. Mom, we'll just follow your arrangement," Neil said. "Let's have the wedding before Edith's stomach would start showing." He turned to his wife and was relieved when he saw her smile.

Edith lowered her head and saw that the little girl has been staring at her for a long time.

Seeing that the little girl kept glancing at her tummy, a thought came to her mind, and Edith was suddenly worried about how Hazel was accepting the news. 

She pulled Hazel closer to her and studied the little girl's expression. "Hazel, you're going to be a big sister soon. What do you think about this?"

The little girl blinked as she pondered over the question. "Will I have a little sister like Alex as well?"

"We still didn't know whether it will be a little sister or a little brother," Edith said. "We will have to wait for a few more months before we can know about this."

Hazel pondered over her conversation with Alex again. "Alex said that he will have a little sister. I want a cute and adorable little sister as well." 

Sophie reached her hand to touch Hazel's head. "Hazel will definitely be a good elder sister. You have to help your uncle and auntie to teach your little sister or little brother well, you know."

Hazel stared at her grandmother with a serious look on her face and nodded.

She did not know how to be a good elder sister, but Alex might know about it.. As the thought came to her mind, Hazel decided that the next time she saw Alex, she will have to ask him a few things.
