Chapter 1007

Mr. Walker had been a little irritated at first, but the second he heard Autumn was pregnant, he was floored.

He stared at Anastasia, disbelief written all over his face. "Anastasia, are you serious?"

After their first child, nothing. Autumn's health had always been fragile, and now, well into her fifties, she was expecting? It sounded impossible.

Anastasia just smiled, a twinkle in her eye. "That's what I heard today. You'll see for yourself when you get home, Mr. Walker."

Now, with this news hanging in the air, Mr. Walker couldn't wait to get back. All his earlier annoyance vanished; he was nearly bouncing out of his seat.

Anastasia had been trying to figure out how to break the news. Jarod's little nudge had set it all up perfectly.

Herman seized the moment to offer his congratulations. "Mr. Walker, talk about good fortune! A promotion and a baby on the way-double happiness! That's something to celebrate."

The tension finally melted from Mr. Walker's face, replaced by a grin he couldn't hide. "Thank you, Mr. Salstrom. Let's end here for tonight—I need to get home and find out for myself."

"Of course," Herman said, nodding. "I'll walk you out."
