S31 170. Let Go

“So it’s true?” Frank pressed his ear to the phone. His serious expression made the people around the dining table even more

curious.

“Okay, thank you. Please notify me immediately if there is any other information.”

As soon as Frank hung up, everyone leaned forward. “How is it?” several people asked in unison.

Frank shook his head faintly. “Sophia wasn’t lying. She really had an abortion.”

The other spontaneously leaned back in their chairs, including Kara. What a poor little baby,” she sighed.

“Come on, don’t be too sad. Try to look at the positive side. Imagine if Sophia kept the fetus. Jeremy might become attached to her. His marriage to Ava could be threatened,” Melanie said lightly.

Barbara widened her eyes at those words. “Mommy?”

“What? I said it as it is. Was what I said wrong?”

“Even if that’s true, you must respect Mrs. Bell, Mom. After all, that’s her grandchild,” Barbara whispered with furrowed eyebrows.

“Mommy, Daddy!” He jumped when he arrived between his parents. ” We managed to cheer up Uncle Jeremy. He is no longer sad. He said, we can continue partying now.”

The next second, Emily arrived gasping for breath. “Louis, why did your leave me? We agreed to come here together,” she scolded, adorably.

“Sorry, Emily. I was too excited to tell the others the happy news.”

“So everyone already knows?”

Louis nodded. “Yes. Let’s sit down quickly or Uncle Jeremy will know if we report to the others.”

While the twins climbed into the chairs, Vivian whispered, “Did Jeremy cry?”

Louis shook his head. “No. Only his eyes are red.”

“What about Ava?” Melanie inquired.

“Neither did she. Aunt Ava entertained Uncle Jeremy very well.”

Vivian nodded her head. Her furrowed brows loosened slightly. “Then. let’s start eating. Don’t let Jeremy see that we haven’t eaten. He’ll think we’re worried about him. He’ll be sad again.”
