“Yes, I got it.” Ren smiled warmly. His family’s love for him was his source of strength. Meanwhile, at a

hillside villa near the city center, a grand feast was laid out on the dining table, and the woman who

stood at the French window waiting for her husband to come home was dressed in a beige dress

designed for pregnant women.

From behind, she still looked like a young lady, but if one walked around her, they would see her

beautiful belly. She caressed it while waiting patiently. Just then, she saw the flashing car lights.

drawing near. Her lips curved into a smile. He was home at last.

Near the dining table, an old man sat down for a game of chess with his grandson. The young heir of

the Presgraves was already showing all the makings of a highly intelligent soul. He carefully considered

his every move, so much so that Francis was beginning to feel the pressure! After all, the six-year old

had won several times now.

“Jared, haven’t you figured out your next move yet?” Francis asked with a smile.

“Hang on, Grandpa. I’ve almost figured it out.” Jared looked up. His handsome face looked more and

more like his father’s every day.

Jared made his move and Francis couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at how much of an expert he

was at chess already. His move had been the best one possible.

“Your turn, Grandpal” Jared grinned. “My, my. You’re nearly as good as me now. Let me think.” Francis

studied the chessboard as if he had finally met his match.

Jared rested his head on his hands to wait. He looked like a proper little gentleman in his black

sweater. When he heard the sounds outside, he smiled and said, “My father’s home.”

Francis nodded. “Yeah! Just in time for Christmas Eve dinner.”

“Mommy needs to go to the hospital once we’re done with dinner. I’ll get to see my sister in a few

days,” Jared enthused.

“That’s right! We’ll have a new member of the family soon.” Francis was just as excited about it. In his

old age, nothing felt more meaningful than spending time with his family.

Against the backdrop of the evening sky, Elliot stepped out of the car and speed walked to the house.

When he saw the woman who was waiting at the door, he reached out to hold her and asked, “Why are

you standing at the door when it’s so cold?”

“I’m waiting for you, of course!” Anastasia tilted her head up to look at him. The light highlighted her

refined features and the warmth of her beauty shone. Even though she was a pregnant woman, she

was still as attractive as ever.
