Gary had sharp eyes. He instantly noticed that his mother had tensed up when she spotted Ernest and him approaching her. With that, he immediately felt apologetic.
It seemed that his mother was embarrassed about getting pregnant and was worried that they would take the news badly.
Gary thought that his attitude towards the pregnancy must have given his mother the impression that he was displeased. That was why she got nervous.
"Mom, congratulations!" Gary said as soon as they got close enough. He had a smile on his face and seemed really sincere.
Grace looked at her son with suspicion. She tried to gauge Gary's sincerity from his smile. After all, she was worried that her children would be embarrassed about the fact that she was pregnant.
However, when she realized that Gary was truly being sincere, she gradually relaxed.
After that, Grace turned to look at Ernest.
