Wouldn’t it be easier to use the money saved from not having her here to hire a housekeeper? What’s so difficult about that?”

“Before Laura started managing the household, you fired several housekeepers, remember? Which of them was as obedient as Laura?” Matteo tried to appease his mother. “Besides, we’re still young; there’s always a chance to have another child.”

“I don’t care. If she can’t give you a son by next year, you’ll have to divorce her!” Sophia declared with a stern face.

“Alright, alright,” Matteo said with a placating smile. “I have a lunch meeting today, so I won’t be home for lunch.”

“Don’t drink too much. Your health is important,” Sophia advised her son.

“Take care, Matteo,” Chloe added.

After seeing her son off at the door, Sophia headed to the kitchen, calling out loudly, “Laura, make some chicken broth. Chloe wants some.”

“Alright,” Laura replied. When the meal was ready, she called everyone to the table.

Sophia ladled out a bowl of chicken broth for Chloe. “Chloe, this is the most nourishing. You need to drink more of it.”

“Thank you, Mom,” Chloe replied gratefully, her face lighting up.

“Silly girl, no need to thank me,” Sophia said, gazing at her daughter with loving eyes.

Watching this display of motherly love, Laura felt a mix of emotions swell in her chest.

“Laura, Chloe is pregnant. From today onward, she’ll be staying here to rest and take care of herself. Whatever she wants to eat, you’ll prepare it. You must look after her. If anything happens to her, I won’t forgive you! Do you hear me?” said Sophia.

“Yes, I understand,” Laura replied softly, her gaze lowered.

“Laura, thank you in advance for taking care of me,” Chloe said with a polite facade.
