With no one else around, the living room, kitchen, and dining area becthe perfect spaces for them to enjoy
their intimacy.
However, when others were present, it was hard to truly relax and be themselves, which wasn't ideal for their
relationship.
"No wonder Mr. Fulton didn't wantto ctoday. As long as they're fine, that's all that matters," Emma said,
hanging up Edith's coat.
Edith sank into the sofa, deep in thought. Today seemed like a good day to encourage them to start a family.
Lily stood by the fridge, staring at the emptiness inside, feeling frustrated. She turned to look at Xavier, who was
leaning against the wall. "Why is there nothing in here?""
"Isn't the living allowance with you?" Xavier replied, reminding her of the money she'd taken with her when she
left.

Lily's chest tightened. She wasn't afraid of him bringing up Sarah or anything that might upset her. But when it
cto money, that was different.
She shut the fridge door and swiftly took a box of Jasmine tea out from the cabinet. Then, she walked into the
living room, setting it on the tea table to brew. "Grandma, the fruit is frozen now. It'll be too cold for your
stomach if you eat it straight from the fridge. Letmake sJasmine tea for you instead.
Edith loved Jasmine tea. Whenever she was at the Fulton Manor, she'd brew a pot of tea and sip it as they
chatted.
"Alright," she agreed, her gaze drifting toward Xavier, who had followed Lily into the room. His shirt hung
untucked, and his sleeves were casually rolled up. Lily had never seen him so disheveled. When a man wasn't
dressed neatly, it looked sloppy. But when he looked like this at home, with his wife around, it definitely
meant.....
Edith's lips curled into a smile. "Xavier, what's with all the bodyguards outside? Are you worried your wife might
run off?" "Clink"
The teacup in Lily's hand slipped, nearly shattering
"Grandma, it's cold outside. You shouldn't be out and about too much if you don't have to."
Xavier's expression remained calm, but there was a brief flicker of unease in his eyes that he couldn't completely
hide.
"Mind your own business. | missed Lily, so | cto see her," Edith said.
Seeing that things were going well between them, she refrained from bringing up the burnt wedding house.
"Grandma, | missed you too." Lily rinsed the Jasmine tea with hot water, discarded it, and began brewing a fresh
pot. "But Xavier is right. The weather's cold and the roads are slippery. You need to be careful." Ediths nodded in
agreement. "I know, I'll be more careful. But you should be careful too, right? What if you slip and fall, then..."
She gestured vaguely over her belly, hinting at something.
"No, Grandma. |..." Lily was about to explain, but the overwhelming fragrance of the Jasmine tea suddenly hit
her, making her stomach churn.
She instinctively stood up, covering her mouth, and hurried toward the bathroom.
Xavier frowned, his eyes following her slender figure. A look of confusion crossed his face.

"She's going to vomit!" Edith's eyes widened, her voice filled with excitement. "She must be pregnant!"
Emma beamed with joy. "It's very likely!"
"That's impossible," Xavier's cold voice and resolute tone immediately dampened the excitement in the room.

When Xavier had pulled her into the car earlier, she hadn't had tto eat the breakdast she bought, and her
stomach was empty.
On top of that, the IV drip from the past few days had been cold, likely worsening her stomach issues.
Suppressing the discomfort, she quickly walked out of the bathroom and explained to Edith, "Grandina, I've
caught a cold these past few days, I'm just not feeling well..."
"Why didn't you go for the check-up last time?" Edith stood up and waved her hand. "Go get checked. Then,
you'll know for sure!"
