Cupid's Arrow hit me hard!
Chapter 2197

Josh had a chat with his father-in-law after lunch.

On the other hand, Jasmine helped her mom collect and wash the dishes in the kitchen. They could exchange some secrets in the meantime.

"Seren's pregnant, Mom."

Jasmine did not forget to relay the good news to her mom.

She and Serenity were friends for many years. Serenity had already become a daughter to her mom.

Mrs. Sox had also been worried about Serenity not getting pregnant despite being married for some time.

"Is that true?"

Mrs. Sox was surprised. She immediately put her palms together in a gesture of gratitude. She said, "Thank the heavens. Serenity's finally pregnant. We can be at ease now."

"You have us to rely on, but Serenity only has her sister. Although Mrs. Stone is her aunt, she's not a direct family member. I've always been worried about Serenity. Everything's fine now. I can rest assured. As long as she can give birth, she won't have to worry about the York family chasing her out."

"You're overthinking, Mom. Mr. York won't abandon Seren. Grandma May picked Seren as Mr. York's wife herself. Who'll dare to chase her out? The outsiders only say so because they're jealous of her and want her to be miserable.

"Those people must've been hoping for Seren to be chased out by the York family. Sadly, they'll be disappointed. They can't do anything about it aside from being jealous."

Jasmine believed in Zachary.

Even if her best friend could not get pregnant, he would not abandon her.

Zachary even said before that he could accept not having children.

"Thank goodness that Serenity got pregnant."

Mrs. Sox was elated.

"I don't care about what others say now either. I'll be at ease as long as you and Serenity have found your footing among your in-laws and have loyal husbands. You're the one who decides how to live your life. I believe you and Serenity are capable of managing your own lives well.

"When did Serenity find out she was pregnant?"

"Just yesterday. She easily gets tired lately. We all thought it was because she had been overworking. We never related it to pregnancy."

Mrs. Sox smiled and said, "You couldn't figure it out despite being pregnant yourself, huh?"

"Liberty's son is already attending preschool, but she never thought of that possibility too. Seren had taken care of Liberty before. She's more experienced in terms of pregnancy and childcare. She didn't notice she was pregnant as well."

As Jasmine washed the dishes, she said, "It's a huge relief and a weight off our minds."

"Yes. We can be at ease now. Shawn would ask how Serenity was doing discreetly from time to time. He did not dare to inquire about her openly for fear of Mr. York finding out. That child..."

Mrs. Sox did not finish her sentence.

"Isn't Shawn dating a girl now?"

Jasmine's voice lowered to a whisper upon mentioning her cousin, who had had a crush on Serenity for many years.

Her husband was Zachary's best friend. What if Josh spilt everything to Zachary if he happened to overhear something?

"Shawn's dating now, but can't he continue being concerned about Serenity? They've known each other for many years, after all. Serenity had watched him grow up."

Mrs. Sox was usually loud, but she also lowered her voice at that moment.

"There's nothing to worry about. Shawn has no feelings for Serenity anymore. He said he treats her as his sister now. It's normal for a younger brother to be concerned about his sister." Those who cared for Serenity were all worried about her when she still had not gotten pregnant.

Shawn had given up on coveting Serenity long ago. He was young and aggressive back then. Well, he was still young and aggressive, but he matured significantly compared to the previous year. Zachary was a possessive man while Serenity only treated Shawn as a younger brother. Therefore, Shawn gave up despite the deep feelings he harbored.
