Pampered by my three brothers: the return of the neglected heiress

Chapter 302

302 Once bitten, twice shy.

Inside the mansion, Old Mrs. Pierson's laughter rang out.

"Old Madam, please don't laugh too much," the doctor said, a hint of panic in his voice. "Your

heart rate..."

"Hahaha!" Old Mrs. Pierson ignored the doctor as she clapped happily. "Very well, very well! Those two are young - they married young. Therefore, they're still in the honeymoon phase. Let them be!" Butler Hubert nodded proudly. "Old Madam, I've already instructed everyone not to approach where the young master and the young madam are. They won't be disturbed."

"Hahaha! Very good, Hubert! You've truly redeemed yourself this time!" Old Mrs. Pierson said, pleased, while the doctor watched her quietly and nervously.

Old Mrs. Pierson, already in her eighties, had recently fallen ill so often that she couldn't move around much. She frequently complained about her body breaking down. But look at her now!

Her speaking had already strained her throat, often a precursor to a mild flu. Yet, here she was, laughing loudly without complaint.

"Don't worry about the tea," Old Mrs. Pierson said dismissively. "Those kids will take a while to come to the courtyard."

Butler Hubert nodded. "Yes, Madam.

Wellprepare the tea once they arrive."

"Good, good!" Old Mrs. Pierson said, clapping. "Oh, my goodness! The heavens have finally heeded my prayers. I hope I get to see my great-grandchildren soon!"

"Actually, Madam," Butler Hubert cleared his throat, making Old Mrs. Pierson raise her brows at him. He carefully moved closer and whispered in her ear.

Old Mrs. Pierson listened, her brows furrowing then arching. Once Butler Hubert finished, she looked up at him in shock.

"You think my granddaughter-in-law is already expecting?!"

"Madam, with how big her appetite was, doesn't it seem like she's eating for ten people?"
