"Oh, please. You're his biological mother. Why would you be afraid of things being awkward? He's your son, for goodness's sake!" Rosalie said.

She couldn't understand. Did Sydney forget how to be a mother?

Sydney turned around to glance at her.

"I almost forgot that you're a mother now." Her gaze landed on Rosalie's belly. "Still not intending to announce it?"

Rosalie caressed her belly as she shook her head. "I told Grandma that I'm traveling."

"Seems like you're bent on keeping it a secret till the end."

"Thanks for helping me to keep it under wraps, Mom.”

Sydney had long known of Rosalie's pregnancy, but never mentioned it to anyone. She was clearly a woman of her word.
