June shot her a look of displeasure. ‘Can’t she just not talk to me in such an awkward situation?’
Lulu raised an eyebrow and gave June a meaningful look without uttering another word.
“Alright, remember to call me when you get home.” Samuel reluctantly agreed, reminding June to give him a call once she’s home.
Then, Lulu linked arms with June as she teased him, “Don’t worry, I won’t lose your wife. I’ll make sure she gets home safely.”
“Fine. Thanks, Spencer’s wife,” Samuel retorted playfully.
This made Lulu blush at an instant, while June suppressed a laugh.
“Alright, we’re leaving now,” Spencer said, and warned Samuel with a glare.
Samuel shrugged his shoulders and chuckled. “Thanks, Spencer.”
“Just thank me by talking less,” Spencer said with a look of disdain before leaving with June and Lulu.
After June and Lulu had bidden farewell to the Riddle family, they left the house with Spencer.
“Mom and Dad? We’re also heading back now,” Sean announced, about to take Jane home too.
“Sure, be careful on your way back,” Gloria reminded them.
“Mom, if there’s anything you need us to do at home, remember to call us,” Jane softly said.
The family had been busy with wedding preparations lately, and she wanted to help if she was needed to.
“Yes, Mom. Me too. You can call us anytime,” Sally added in agreement.
“Ah, I know you’re both really busy. We don’t really need your help for now, so just focus on your own stuff, alright?” Gloria said reassuringly.
“Mom, it might be a little more difficult for Jane as she’s working at the company, but I’m fine. You can let me help,” Sally added.
In reply, Gloria added, “Yes. Jane does need to work, but even though you’re not working, the tasks here can be a little taxing. You should focus on taking care of yourself.”
“Sally, Mom has her own arrangements. She will tell us when she needs us.” Steve gently held Sally’s hand and muttered.
“Alright,” Sally replied, having no choice but to agree.
“Don’t worry about it. The both of you can go home and get some sleep now,” Gloria said.
She then glanced at Sally’s belly and looked away.
‘Ah, forget it,’ Gloria thought.
Sean and Steve had been married for quite a while with their wives now. Jane was busy with work, so it would not be appropriate for her to come in and get herself overwhelmed with more than what she already had on her plate. As for Sally, she was unemployed, but her health was still not in the best of state.
She figured that she should not say anything about having children, so as not to stress her daughters- in-law. In fact, everything should happen naturally, and in their own time.
Sally noticed Gloria’s gaze and felt a little awkward. Disappointed at herself, she bit her lip and lowered her head.
“Well, we’re heading back now.” Steve tightened his grip on Sally’s hand. After bidding his family farewell, he left the house with Sally. Sean and Jane soon followed suit as well.
As soon as they had left the place, Sally found herself unable to suppress the sadness within her anymore. “Steve, I…”
“Don’t overthink it. Mom didn’t say anything, and Sean isn’t in a hurry either. So why should we be?” Steve reassured Sally, appearing nonchalant.
He obviously noticed what had just happened. While his mother might be concerned about them deep within, she had not pressured them into giving them any grandchildren. This was not something that could be accomplished by rushing.
Because of this, he did not want Sally to feel pressured. As long as they were happy together, everything would fall into
place when the time was right.
Sean frowned at Steve when he saw that Steve was using him as a tool with which to comfort his wife. “Regardless of whether I’m in a hurry or not, it has nothing to do with you.”
“It really doesn’t concern me. Unfortunately, since you’re the eldest in the family, the future of the Riddle family will be in your hands. So obviously, your burden is heavier.”
‘Sean, you’re the eldest, and the family’s throne awaits your succession. I don’t have that,’ Steve thought to himself.
Hearing the delight in his voice, Sean shot him a disdainful look and said, “Whoever is the most capable in the Riddle family will inherit it. So, you better work harder.”
