Chapter 5

After learning of my pregnancy, I couldn't contain my joy and told my mother-in-law and my mom first.

After all, they had been pressuring us to have a child for two years since we got married three years ago.

Now that I had finally conceived, it was only natural to let them share in the happiness.

It's just a shame that my sweetheart never got the chance to see this world before being ruthlessly killed by his own father.

"Good news? What good news?" Briar asked in confusion.

At that moment, before the mother-in-law could reply, Selene quietly reminded him, "Melody is still angry right now. If you go back for dinner, she'll definitely complain, and then I..."

He looked at her seriously, gently taking her hand and promising, "Don't be afraid. I won't let anyone hurt you."

Then, without waiting for his mother-in-law to finish, he directly refused the invitation to dinner at the family home and hung up the phone.

He turned and took Selene out to pursue their happiness.
