Chapter 412: What’s best for everyone
CLANG...
A wave of nothing but silence monopolized the dining hall. Everyone present around the table had their eyes wide open and their jaws falling. They were all looking in the same direction.
"So... we were correct?" Axel gasped, covering his mouth, eyes wide at his brother and sister-in-law. "You’re... pregnant?"
Heaven and Dominic smiled, holding each other’s hand. She then stretched her hand to Sebastian, who was sitting right beside her.
"Yes," Dominic answered with a nod. "Heaven is pregnant."
"Oh, goodness!" Ria covered her lips with both her hands as a layer of tears coated her eyes. "What a great news! Oh, Heaven! Congratulations, dear!"
Ria pushed herself away from her seat, walking around the table until she stood behind Heaven’s chair. She placed her hand on her daughter-in-law’s shoulder, bending over to lean her cheek against the side of Heaven’s head.
"I’m so happy for you, dear," expressed Ria sincerely, reaching for her son’s shoulder to squeeze it. "This is such great news. Congratulations to the both of you."
"Thanks, Mom." Heaven tapped Ria’s knuckles as the latter kept her hands on her shoulders.
"Oh, dear."
"Congratulations, Dom, Heaven." Lionel, who was sitting across from Dominic, nodded at his son approvingly. "Your mother and I had been wondering when you will plan to have a second child, but I guess we were worrying about nothing."
