At the same time, in the Pitcher family. That year, Jeremy didn't go home to accompany his father. Instead, he chose to stay with his mother and Lindsay.

However, the situation became tense even before they had barely started eating at the dining table. It was caused by the fish on the table. Lindsay removed the fish as she couldn't bear the smell of it due to her morning sickness. Upon drinking two mouthfuls of chicken soup, she began to feel nauseous and uncomfortable once more. She thumped her chest and stood up.

"Excuse me, I..." Lindsay said.

She turned around and ran to the bathroom once more. Jeremy put down the cutlery and said, "Mom, I'll go and have a look!"

As soon as he stepped up from the chair, he heard a loud bang and saw Sally raised her hand as she slammed the cutlery on the table.

"Can't we enjoy a proper meal? Today is New Year's Eve and you don't even want to stop your act! It's not like you never had a baby before. What's the point of being so pretentious? You can't eat this and you can't do that. Even the nobles are not that difficult to please!" Sally yelled.

Sally stood up and shouted, "Sit down and eat!"

As soon as she pulled Jeremy down to sit, Sally lowered her voice and continued.

"Son, let me tell you. Women can't be spoiled! Don't go and check on her. The more you care, the more trouble she'll get you into! Isn't she just making you worry about her? It's okay. She'll still be fine if you don't pay attention to her! When you weren't here, I saw her secretly eating cakes and roasted chicken in the room. The chicken was this big. It's clear that she has a good appetite," Sally continued.

Sally spoke in a serious tone as she gestured. Jeremy couldn't help but was being absent-minded. Was she telling the truth? Or, was his mother having an illusion again?

He thought that everything was going in the right direction. However, he didn't expect that not long after her mother was released, the house would be in a mess again on a daily basis! "Son, you must be tired after working, right? I've prepared some nourishing chowder for you. I'll go get some for you!" Sally said.

"Mom, let me do it!" Jeremy argued.

His heart was also in a mess. Jeremy got up and went to the kitchen. After a brief moment, he brought out a big bowl of chowder. At that moment, Lindsay also returned after vomiting. "What is this chowder? It smells good! I want to have some too!" Lindsay said.

Jeremy was about to give it to Sally after filling a bowl of chowder. However, she already took it first. He could only pick another small bowl. Before he could do anything, he heard a loud bang and saw Lindsay dropped the spoon to the table. She then said hysterically.

"What's this? Don't you know that I'm pregnant? Don't you know that I can't eat fennel? Why is that thing in the chowder? Aunt McGowan! Aunt McGowan..." Lindsay demanded.
