Chapter 958 - Sweet Momma (1/2)

When Xiu didn't manage to get an answer from Francesca, she offered her water, ”Okay. Drink some water. Crying this badly is not worthy. You'll ruin your health. So, moisten your throat a bit.” Francesca sniffled and held the glass of water with both hands. She took a sip and felt a little better. Meanwhile, Xiu turned her dangerous gaze towards Han Yiheng, ”Didn't I warn you? If you made her upset, you're so dead!”

Han Yiheng swallowed when she saw her acting like this. Let him be honest, he was only scared of this girl before him. Even though her fathers were THE real powerful people, he still somehow felt like she was the real deal. Something about her was always making him feel uneasy.​​

”I didn't do anything,” he said in his defense. ”Well, actually. I think I have a hand in this situation but I didn't know she'd take it so badly!”

”What did you do?!” glared Xiu angrily.

”I...” Han Yiheng couldn't find the right words right now. Really, what was he supposed to say in this situation? Can he really explain how was he involved in this situation? No way!

Francesca pulled Xiu's hand, ”Don't say anything to Heng. It's not his fault.”

Xiu looked at Francesca, ”Mama, don't try to save him.”

”I'm not trying to,” retorted Francesca. ”I really am not trying to save him. It's not even his fault. Really. Believe me.”

”If you won't explain it clearly to me how will I believe what you say?” asked Raelle. ”If it's not clear, I can only call him the culprit, and what you say doesn't count. After all, any wife would try to protect her husband.”

Francesca looked up at her husband before she turned to look at her son and daughter-in-law. She felt so frustrated. What the hell was this situation? How was she supposed to even say it out loud?

She lowered her head and said in a small voice, ”I'm expecting.”

”You're what?” inquired Xiu cluelessly. She really didn't understand what she said because she couldn't hear that small voice. It felt like a bee was buzzing. How was she supposed to hear it?

”She said she is expecting,” Darren told Xiu with an odd expression on his face.

”Oh? But what are you expecting?” asked Xiu once again in an oblivious manner.

”Mama, I think Xiu really didn't get what you're saying,” said Darren from the side trying to hold back his smile.

Francesca looked at Xiu's clueless eyes and sighed out. Right, how could her peerless daughter-in-law ever tease her? She was always so thoughtful. ”I meant, I'm pregnant.”

As her words fell, Xiu's brows raised up in surprise. It took a minute for that to digest. Her brain processed it slowly and while it was processing, her facial expressions kept changing. Francesca nervously rubbed her fingers.

She knew it! How embarrassing it was to get pregnant at this age? Wasn't it enough that she got married in her forties? Why did she have to get pregnant in her forties as well? Does that even make sense? How humiliating it was to tell her son and daughter-in-law who already had a three-year-old son that she was pregnant. And also that their son was about to get an uncle or aunt four years younger than him in near future!

Xiu jumped to her feet and looked at Darren, ”Did I hear that right?”
