The news of Bessie Leclair's pregnancy turned the entire Leclair residence upside down. Ignatius Leclair took her out to meet and negotiate with the Yeager family.
Although the old man wore an angry face, he secretly instructed the kitchen to stew more nourishing soups. Along with the medicinal meals previously ordered by Ignatius Leclair, the family's meals suddenly became bland and wholesome, with not a hint of flavor.
As for Mrs. Gu, Delphine hadn't seen her for many days. Not only that, but Stone Leclair was also home less frequently, busy with visits and public works across various places at the end of the year.
Ignatius Leclair returned late at night, and Delphine was still awake.
The layout of the top floor had been remodelled, leaving no guest room. With the painful experience of the previous night still lingering, Delphine laid two quilts on the floor to make a bed.
