Chapter 452
452:
Linsey’s eyes met Ivy’s, filled with expectation, and she remembered her previous false alarm about being pregnant. A shadow passed over her face, and she instinctively touched her stomach.
Having grown up without a family, Linsey deeply craved the familial warmth she had never known. This fueled her desire to start a family with Collin.
Linsey had stopped using birth control. Given that she and Collin were healthy and in prime condition, she was supposed to be expecting. Yet, despite their readiness, there was still no pregnancy to announce.
“Ivy, I…” Linsey said, her voice trailing off as a wave of sadness enveloped her, rendering her momentarily speechless.
Noticing the change in her demeanor, Collin interjected, “Grandma, we have plenty of time. No need to rush.”
When she heard his words, Ivy’s expression grew concerned, her brows knitting together. She surmised that the lack of news about a pregnancy might be because Collin was hesitant to start a family.
Collin was likely just savoring his moments alone with his wife.
“You young fool, are you rushing or are you too slow? Don’t act like a teen anymore.” Ivy glared at Collin disapprovingly and playfully slapped his arm. “It’s better to start a family sooner rather than later. Delaying could complicate things for Linsey physically.”
Collin maintained his calm, standing protectively by Linsey against Ivy’s gentle nudging.
“Grandma, it’s not like that. Linsey and I are prioritizing our careers at the moment. We’re not in any rush.”
Ivy’s expression shifted to one of mild frustration, her eyes widening as she said, “Who said anything about Linsey quitting her job to have children? You can balance work and family planning. If she becomes pregnant, we’ll arrange for a nutritionist to assist her at her workplace. It won’t disrupt her career. And after the baby arrives, don’t worry—Grandma will be here to help with everything. You both won’t need to stress about anything!”

Upon hearing this, Linsey was caught off guard. She hadn’t expected Ivy to think things through so thoroughly. Ivy’s words pulled Linsey out of her sadness.
“Ivy, actually…” Linsey began, unsure of how to continue.
Collin cut in, his voice sharp. “Grandma, you need someone to take care of you now. How could we leave a child in your care?”
Ivy’s face flushed with frustration. “How dare you suggest I’m unwell?” Her expression twisted into a scowl, and she raised her hand as if she might strike Collin. “I’ll show you I still have plenty of strength!”
Linsey froze, her heart racing as she watched Ivy, her anger boiling over. Without thinking, she stepped in quickly, gently guiding Ivy’s arm down.
“Ivy, it’s getting cold out here. Let’s head inside,” she suggested. Linsey didn’t want to be the cause of any more tension between Ivy and Collin.
With Linsey’s intervention, Ivy reluctantly calmed down. However, she still shot Collin a resentful look. “You little troublemaker, always making me angry,” Ivy grumbled.
Linsey couldn’t help but smile as she gently reassured Ivy and guided her toward the door.
“Linsey, you’re the one with the heart. Collin’s a lucky man. He’s got a real blessing in you,” Ivy said warmly.
By the time they stepped inside, dinner was just about ready. At the table, Ivy’s enthusiasm for Linsey showed no sign of fading.
