Lydia waved her hand dismissively, saying, "I can't drink; I'm pregnant. Could you please bring me a non-alcoholic beverage instead?"

Her words dropped like a bombshell, and the crowd around them immediately turned their attention to her midsection.

"Didn't Lydia just have a miscarriage not long ago? Is she... pregnant again? Talk about resilience!"

The most shocked of all was Dalton. He frowned, bewildered, "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

It had been three months since Lydia's miscarriage, and their intimate encounters could be counted on one hand.

Most of those had occurred during Dalton's drunken stupors when he was feeling low.

Lydia gently caressed her belly, beaming at Dalton. "I just found out a couple of days ago.

"I'm already over two months along! Maybe I'm just naturally good at this whole baby-making thing. Dalton, we're going o have a child soon! Isn't that exciting?" Chapter 601 Come Back to Me.

Dalton remained silent.

The news was too unexpected; it was shock, not joy.

His gaze shifted to Meryl, who wore a blank expression and showed no reaction to Lydia's announcement.

Dalton's eyes fell, a shadow of gloom passing over him.

Chandler, ever the jokester, broke the tension with a smirk. "Oh? Lydia, are you about to make me a granduncle?"

Dalton felt a tightness in his chest at those words.

Just then, a commotion erupted at the entrance.
