Chapter 1976: Private Chat Space
They embraced each other passionately, unable to part.
It had been too long since they had embraced each other wholeheartedly like this, and this kissallowed them to relax completely, immersing themselves in the happiness of a lifetime after theordeal.
It wasn't until the sound of a phone ringing interrupted them that they finally pulled apart.
Luther breathed slightly, "It's your phone ringing, not mine."
"Mmm," Joyce nodded, taking out her phone from her pocket.
"It's a video call, not a phone call. It's Juanita calling," Joyce looked up at Luther.
"Answer it, she knows you successfully gave birth. I informed them," Luther nodded slightly.
Joyce subconsciously adjusted her long hair and quickly answered the call.
On the screen appeared Juanita's cute and lively face.
"Wow, Joyce, long time no see. You're more beautiful than ever," Juanita's exuberant voice burstinto the scene.
Joyce smiled at the screen, "Juanita, did you cut your hair shorter? You look very energetic. Howhave you been lately?"
Juanita rolled her eyes, "What could be wrong with me? Just eating and sleeping every day, I feellike I'm turning into a pig. They're treating me like a pig. Even though I'm perfectly fine, they won't let
me go to work. Ugh, so annoying. Look at my face, have I gained a lot of weight?"
Joyce chuckled, "They are spoiling you. You haven't gained any weight at all. You can eat a bitmore."
Juanita scratched her head irritably, "Eat more? The baby hasn't grown much, all the weight is onmy own body. Oh, by the way. I video-called to ask about your situation. How come it turned intoyou asking me? Hey, you gave birth to two sons and didn't think to tell me. Mr. Warner had to tellme, you're not very considerate."
"I forgot, sorry," Joyce grinned.
"Never mind, where are my godsons? Show them to me quickly," Juanita looked at Joyceexpectantly.
"They're both in the incubator, they can't go home until they're two weeks old. Since I gave birthprematurely, it's safer for them to stay in the incubator for a while. So you can't see them now. Whenthey come home, I'll video call you," Joyce explained.
"Oh. Are the children okay?" Juanita got a little nervous hearing about the incubator.
"They're fine. By the way, step back a bit. Let me see how big your belly is now. If I remembercorrectly, you're due to give birth in two or three months, right?" Joyce asked.
"Yes. My belly has been growing rapidly lately, like a balloon. It's hard to walk. I'm not used to it.Otherwise, I would have already gone to Khebury to see you now. What a pity," Juanita pouted.
"What's the rush? There's plenty of time in the future." Joyce looked at the screen, at Juanita's bigbelly, and said, "Your belly isn't that big. If you experience twin pregnancy, you'll know howburdensome my body was before, walking was difficult."
"Ah, my current mood is quite contradictory. I look forward to giving birth quickly, getting rid of theburden sooner, and relaxing sooner. But at the same time, I'm a bit scared," Juanita lookedtroubled.
"What are you afraid of?" Joyce asked.
"I'm afraid of being a mother? I've never been a mother before, I don't know if I can do it well,"Juanita sighed.
"You'll definitely be the best mother. Don't worry so much."
At this moment, a gentle male voice sounded from behind Juanita, obviously Karl.novelbin
Juanita was taken aback, turning her head to ask, "You didn't go to work? I thought you had alreadyleft."
"No, not busy recently. Have time to accompany you more," Karl's handsome and clear faceappeared on the screen.
He waved at Joyce, greeting, "Long time no see, you look good. Not like someone who just gavebirth."
Joyce smiled back at Karl, "Karl looks different from before, about to be a father. There's more smileon your face than before. You should smile more often."
Karl chuckled softly, "Congratulations on safely delivering twin sons. Where's Luther? Is he besideyou?"
Luther didn't want to disturb Joyce and Juanita's video chat, but when Karl asked, he also appearedon the screen.
"Of course," he wrapped his arm around Joyce, "I have to take good care of her."
"By the way, when the children turn one month old, I plan to have a wedding. However, you mightnot be able to attend. I forgot, Juanita is about to give birth," Luther said, "A bit of a shame."
"Ah!" Juanita raised her voice in dissatisfaction, "I can't believe I can't go to Joyce's wedding, it's sounfortunate! Why not wait for me?"
Karl laughed and patted Juanita's head, "They've waited long enough for this wedding. How muchlonger do you want them to wait for you? By the time you give birth, finish your postpartum recovery,three months will have passed. I'll go on your behalf."
"What can you represent for me? Ugh, so annoying, I'm not happy," Juanita pouted, "It's not just thewedding, but also my godsons' one-month banquet. I can't attend any of them."
Joyce quickly reassured, "It's okay, it's just a formality. We'll have plenty of opportunities to gettogether. I'll take the children back to the Capital to see you. Will that do?"
Juanita reluctantly said, "I guess."
At this point, Karl asked, "Mr. Warner, Joyce, I've heard about Athena's situation. I haven't contactedyou because I didn't want to disturb you. After Athena's death, there are no complications, right?"
Luther furrowed his brows slightly, "There shouldn't be."
Karl said, "That's good. There's been some activity from the Rohomes side recently, and I've been abit worried. Now that you've said that, I feel relieved."
Luther and Joyce exchanged a glance, they knew that the Rohomes movement was Grayson's wayof diverting attention, opening up a gap with Cecelia. They didn't expect even Karl to be alerted.
Joyce signaled to Luther, with Juanita about to give birth, she didn't want Karl to be distractedfurther and worry about their affairs.
Luther understood, "It shouldn't concern us. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will handle it on themilitary side, we don't need to worry."
Karl nodded.
Unable to bear it any longer, Juanita pushed Karl away forcefully, "You always talk about work, can'tgo three sentences without mentioning it. I want to chat with Joyce, you insist on joining in."
Karl, "..."
He indulgently said, "Alright, I'll stop. You two chat."
Luther also said, "I'll leave too, let them chat."
The two men left the frame simultaneously, leaving the space for private chat to the women.
