Chapter 0130

While Leonard and Peter were reconciling as father and son, trying to leave the past behind, Catherine reluctantly had to put on a land face. She kept thinking that if she didn’t maintain a cordial relationship with her grandson’s future wife, she’d have to say goodbye to spending time with her great–grandchild. She felt trapped, but she was willing to make the effort. After all, she genuinely appreciated the fact that her family was growing, and the thought of a baby was the only thing keeping her anger in check. “Alexia, how far along is the baby?” Catherine asked hesitantly, trying to break the ice. “Grandma Catherine, the baby is 16 weeks! It’s already so big,” Alexia said cheerfully.

“I see! I’m glad to hear the critical weeks are behind you. That’s very important.” “That’s exactly what my mom says!”

“What do you mean by that, Grandma?” Maximus asked, confused.

“Maximus, my boy, you need to learn more about this. The critical weeks are the first three months. That’s when pregnancy is risky. Once you’re past that, it’s mostly about growth.”

“Oh, I see! I didn’t know that,” Maximus said, feeling a twinge of guilt.

While he’d been busy sorting out his divorce with Mary, he hadn’t realized that Alexia had gone through the most critical part of her pregnancy practically on her own. He couldn’t help feeling miserable. He’d never been able to show Mary love, and now, even though he was supposedly with the woman of his dreams, he was neglecting her too.
