Chapter 1264:

Overwhelmed, Harlee’s mind raced with countless thoughts, leaving her speechless.

Noticing her reaction, Goodwin hesitated, his voice quivering slightly. “Harlee, are you perhaps not fond of children?”

Goodwin believed Harlee might be reluctant about having children, fearing she might say, “Get rid of it.”

At that moment, Rhys burst into the room, having just returned from his overseas commitments. Hearing the mention of children, he frowned slightly. “Who said Harlee doesn’t like children?”

“Well…” Goodwin struggled for words, cautious not to mention “abortion” due to potential misunderstandings, and knowing Rhys would hold him accountable. “It’s just some standard pregnancy advice for Harlee.”

As soon as Goodwin mentioned “pregnancy precautions,” Rhys was stunned. He found himself questioning whether Harlee was really pregnant.

He leaned forward, his gaze sharp and intense as he locked eyes with Goodwin. “What do you mean?” he asked.

“Harlee is pregnant. It seems she’s been for about a month,” Goodwin replied swiftly.

Rhys stood frozen, his reaction mirroring Harlee’s initial shock. Unlike Harlee, he was amazed at the thought of the eager little life striving to come into this world. Despite their intimacy the previous night, he was still in disbelief.

As both Rhys and Harlee processed the news, they could hear the soft chuckles of Robbie and Patrick nearby. Robbie and Patrick were eagerly speculating about the baby’s gender.

Glancing down, Harlee noticed Rhys gripping her hand firmly, his breaths deep and even. Abruptly, he tugged her to her feet. “Let’s go for a thorough check-up at the hospital!”

Rising alongside him, Harlee teased, “What’s the matter? Don’t have faith in Goodwin’s abilities anymore?” Rhys, who was not one to frequent hospitals, simply replied, “Just to be cautious.”

As Harlee stood, Rhys was overly anxious, his eyes wide with concern that she might stumble or collide with something.

Harlee found herself at a loss for words. The pregnancy was still unconfirmed, yet Rhys was already showing signs of anxiety typical of an expectant father. She resigned herself to his attentive support as they exited, with Robbie and Patrick tagging along closely like protective escorts. After the check-up, Rhys was bursting to announce that they were expecting a love child.

Harlee managed to hold him back just in time, but he insisted on driving to the Sanderson family villa to share the good news with her parents.

“Why didn’t you tell us you were coming?” Skyla asked, her face lighting up with delight at their arrival.

As Harlee had promised during the wedding, she and Rhys had frequently visited the Sanderson home for extended stays.

Harlee shot Rhys a look, chose to remain silent, and proceeded directly into the living room where she relaxed on the sofa. Rhys, beaming more than usual, would handle the announcement.

At the entrance, Rhys couldn’t contain his joy and, uncharacteristically, took Skyla by the arm.

Skyla gave him a suspicious look. “What’s going on? You seem so happy. Is Harlee pregnant?”

Skyla had only made an offhand comment earlier, having previously noted that Harlee did not plan to have children for three years, which had shifted her hopes for grandchildren toward Brenton.
