Chapter : 938

Olivia’s friends.

But tonight, they bowed their heads respectfully, and I couldn’t believe the sight of it. It felt surreal.

Then came the dancing. I wasn’t a good dancer, not like I was a fighter. But I could keep a tune, and slow dancing was easy because it was just a bunch of swaying back and forth.

Gavin took me in his arms, and I put mine around his neck. He stared at me with so much love and admiration that I could hardly breathe. Our song played softly in the background, and I almost heard our son’s soft cooing over the music, but a quick look showed he was sleeping soundly with Gavin’s mother, who remained in her seat for almost the whole time.

Midway through the song, others started to dance as well. Once the song ended, a newer, more upbeat one began, and everyone pulled apart and started dancing wildly.

Gavin entwined our fingers and pulled me off the dance floor. We went over to his mother, both of us wanting to see our son. Matt was also at the table, talking to Dianne who looked tired.

“Hey, buddy. How about you go find someone else to talk to for a bit,” Gavin said, putting a hand on Matt’s shoulder. “I think your grandma needs a break.”

“Can we have cake?” Matt asked, raising his brows.

I let out a laugh; despite everything, I always forget that Matt is only a little boy. I run my fingers through his shaggy hair.

“Soon,” Gavin promised him. “We’ll cut the cake, and you’ll get the first slice.”

Matt cheered excitedly as he ran off to find someone else to talk to.

“How is my little boy?” Gavin asked, sitting beside his mother.

“He’s amazing. Such a good baby. Reminds me so much of you at his age. I can already sense it…he’s going to be extremely powerful.”

Gavin smiled, and I could see the pride on his face.

I found myself looking around again, my eyes darting around the area. My chest tightened when I still didn’t see Nan anywhere. I was worried about it; it wasn’t like her to disappear on me like this.

I saw my mom and dad talking off in the distance; my mom looked a bit worried, and my chest tightened even more. Without thinking, I turned and started towards them. I could feel Gavin’s worry and curiosity as he watched me disappear through the crowd, and I didn’t stop until I was directly in front of my parents.

They knew something… I know they did.

“What’s going on?” I asked, looking between the two of them.

My mom started, and my dad turned to look at me, his face stoic.

“Nothing for you to be concerned about. Go celebrate your marriage with your husband,” my father said, putting a hand on my shoulder and giving it a gentle squeeze.

I turned to my mother, knowing I wasn’t going to get anything out of my father.

“What is it?” I asked her. “Where is Nan?”

My mom’s eyes widened, and her eyes darted to the door on the far side of the room. The one that led into the back halls where the offices were. She caught herself quickly after, though, and looked away, but it was too late already saw the gesture, and I was already heading

in that direction.

“Judy, wait,” my mother said, and I could hear her shuffling her feet, trying to walk fast enough in her heels to catch up to me.

I didn’t stop, though.

I went through the door and paused when I heard a female voice…. It sounded like she was crying, and then a male voice joined in.

“I thought it wasn’t possible…” the female said, and as I got closer, I realized I knew that voice better than I thought. “How is this possible?”

“The Moon Goddess saw it fit… she’s given us a blessing,” the male said, his voice also sounding familiar.

My heart stopped when I realized who was speaking.

Nan and Chester.

They were here.

I walked faster until I reached where they were, around the corner. They both froze

when they saw me, Nan’s face paling.

“Judy…” she said, but I held up my hand, stopping her.

“You left… I was worried sick about you, Nan. How could you have left??”

“It’s not what it looks like,” she assured me. “I’m sorry I didn’t say anything… but we

had to run to the drug store right after the ceremony…. I’m so sorry…”

“The drug store??” I asked, furrowing my brows. “You left my wedding so you can an errand? And you didn’t even find me to say

something about it… I don’t understand what could have been more important at a time like this…”

I knew I sounded like a spoiled brat, but I couldn’t help myself. I was hurt.

Nan looked at Chester, as if she was asking permission to tell me the truth. When he gave her a short nod,

I knew that that’s exactly what she

was doing, and I felt even more annoyed

just that, but her words stopped me

dead in my tracks.

“I’m pregnant.”
