Chapter 396: To Dodge
Rock was overwhelmed with emotion, tears streaming down his face as he struggled to contain his joy. He had prayed for this day, never daring to expect it, and now the news had filled him with an immense sense of gratitude and happiness.
"Oh, goodness," he murmured as William quickly grabbed his arm to steady him. Rain stepped closer, concern etched on her face. "Father, are you alright?"
Though his tears flowed freely, a broad smile stretched across his face. He pulled Rain into a tight hug. "Oh, thank you... Congratulations. I’m sorry. it’s just so overwhelming that I can’t hold it in."
Rain gently patted his back, her voice soft but teasing. "Get ready to be a grandfather soon, Father. And who knows? You might witness more babies running around under your roof!"
Rock chuckled, his joy evident. "Yes, that would be wonderful. I can’t wait for that day." He released her from the hug, knowing the others were eager to congratulate her. As expected, Aunt Melanie quickly approached Rain for a warm embrace.
Meanwhile, Rock turned to Alexander, pulling his son into a heartfelt hug. "Oh, son... I’m so happy for you. Congratulations."
"Thank you, Dad," Alexander murmured. When Rock gently pushed him back, he noticed the tears in his son’s eyes, tears of pure happiness.
Rain spoke up, her voice tinged with a mix of excitement and practicality. "I still want to confirm this at the hospital."
Rock nodded in agreement. "Yes, go visit a doctor. You’ll need vitamins and advice on what to do and avoid."
"Our flight’s in five hours. We have time to stop by the hospital," Rain added. With that, the couple left for their check-up, leaving the rest of the family behind in the billiard hall.
Rock turned to Sanya. "This calls for a celebration, but you and the others have an important event to attend. Clifford’s wedding is a big deal, and I know he’s someone dear to both you and Rain," he said with a sigh.
