Liz was utterly flabbergasted as she stared at Remington. What on earth was he rambling about? There was no way she hadn't felt any movement if Daisy was indeed "quietly" nestled in her belly.

Yet, there was Remington, speaking with utter seriousness, "Mr. Madden probably has no clue what it feels like to have a baby kick. I suggest Mr. Madden and Florence hurry up, tie the knot, and start a family. It's quite the miracle, wouldn't you say, Liz?" He lowered his gaze only to lift his eyebrows suggestively at Liz a moment later. His hand gently caressed her side, his touch whispering, "Let's keep this our little secret." Liz had just made a fool of herself in front of Jerome, which was embarrassing enough. Now with Remington also stirring the pot, she felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment, unable to face Jerome. She shot Remington a fierce glare, at a loss for words. Just then, a group hastened their steps towards them. Leading them was an elderly gentleman, his hair silver but his spirit vibrant.

It's true what they say - speople really set the bar high! Left with an empty side, Remington felt a pang of loneliness, wanting to close the distance between him and Liz. But Mrs. Bernice Madden, pulling Nelson along, reached Liz first.

Mrs. Bernice Madden said with a mix of pride and confusion, "Archie, look, I found our Elsa! And look, our granddaughter Andrea is in her belly." "Archie, if Andrea is in Elsa's belly, then who is this Andrea?" she asked, pointing at the young woman next to her, clearly befuddled.

Andrea shook her head in resignation, "Grandma, it's me, Andrea. I'm all grown up now. So, how could she possibly be my mom? You've got the wrong person, grandma." Mrs. Bernice Madden frowned, her expression turning to one of anxious confusion, clutching Nelson's hand tightly. Nelson, while comforting her, couldn't help but fixate on Liz, momentarily startled.
