Chapter 208 Make Small Talk

Hearing her cousin's words, Celia bowed her head sheepishly. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to ask so many questions."

Rachel laughed and waved her hand. "It's fine."

"You actually got married. I want to know who the lucky guy is," Celia sighed.

"Celia," her cousin reminded her once again in disbelief.

As a person who had experience, she knew the feeling of being interrogated as to her own partner. She didn't want to pass on that feeling to anyone else.

However, it seemed that Celia just couldn't take a hint.

Fortunately, Rachel was patient with her. If it was her cousin, she would've ignored Celia's chatter.

Rachel blinked, finding it hard to believe that marrying her would be deemed as lucky.

In fact, she never thought that she was anything special. She didn't think that her marriage would be such a big deal.

Hearing her cousin calling her name multiple times, Celia finally found reason. She stuck out her tongue and told Rachel, "I'm sorry. Forgive my rudeness."

Her cousin laughed. "If it were me, consider yourself not forgiven."

Celia rolled her eyes and leaned against her cousin's bulging belly. Suddenly, she reached out her hand and stroked her belly. "Hey, buddy, your beautiful aunt was wrong! And your mom wouldn't forgive me. Please don't act like me in the future."

Her cousin snorted, amused by Celia's words. She pushed her away.

"That's enough. Don't influence my baby."

Celia giggled, turning to Rachel. "I'm still curious as to the man who married you. Rachel, you should let me meet him next time."

Rachel nodded. In fact, with how shameless and mischievous Jack was around her, she was sure that the two would be able to get along.

The corners of her lips inched upwards.

Seeing that Rachel didn't look that bothered, Celia's cousin breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the doctor might be displeased with Celia's lack of formalities.

It wasn't as if Celia meant to do that. It was just that she tend to scrutinize another person's privacy.

Her cousin quickly turned the topic to her pregnancy.

"How did you know you were pregnant?"

Rachel asked curiously. "Well, I didn't have much of a reaction in the beginning. All I knew back then was that I was always tired, and I wanted to eat all day long.

I kept on think if I was sick, given that I felt so exhausted."

Rachel pursed her lips. "And then?"

"Then I bought a pregnancy test kit. I was actually pregnant! The baby was still so small, but it was already confirmed when I went to the hospital for a second look."

Rachel would've bought a test kit herself, but she was a little scared.

'Lea and I are truly best of friends,' she thought. 'We even run into the same predicament.'

After lunch, they waved goodbye and Rachel drove home.

She thought for a while before stopping at a pharmacy on the way. Rachel found herself stuck between a rock and a hard place. If she was really pregnant, then she just had to accept it.

Sighing, she got out of the car and bought herself a kit. It was said that taking the test in the morning would give the most accurate result, so she wanted to save it for tomorrow.

As she did so, Rachel calculated the last time she had slept with Jack in her mind, sighing.

Meanwhile, although Henry still didn't pass the test, he had finally grasped the key point he needed to get along with Lea's family.

In this way, he was finally relieved that he was able to adjust.

Fearing that Lea might misunderstand him, he decided to explain it to her in advance.

Even if she didn't know anything about it now, she would have to know everything after they got married.

Knowing this, Henry decided to tell her everything.

"My family's a mess," he started, explaining everything.

After saying all what he had to say, he gazed at Lea cautiously to see if she showed any resistance to what he had just said.

Fortunately, she was calm, albeit a little confused.

"That's it. It's not that I don't want to hold the wedding, it's just... I need to wait a few more days before I tell them."Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

He gazed at Lea carefully, as if he was analyzing a volcano that was about to erupt. "Is that okay with you?"

Lea was amused by how careful he was.

She was also surprised by his words.

The Qin family was an incredibly old family with a century's worth of history. In fact, there were hundreds of people in this family.

Back then, the Qin family had had a generation of three brothers who had expanded the family three.

Then, there had been more than fifty people in the family.

Thing had been going smoothly until their encounter of the treacherous war times.

More than a dozen family members had been blown up during the explosion.

As for the other survivors, most of them had been killed in the war. What was more, they had been abused by bandits who used their excellent shipbuilding technology into their favor before slaughtering them all.

Less than ten people had survived that war.

Although the Qin family had a century worth of history,

they weren't as many as Lea had thought.

They were now less than two hundred people in total, but it was still huge compared to any other ordinary family.

But for a clan with such a long line of history, their bloodline was already declining.

People in the Qin family had either gotten married or had their own children. Some were rich, while others were poor

They weren't the same as the Qin family they had remembered. The old Qin family had been famous for its shipbuilding technology.

But now the shipbuilding technology wasn't the main reason for their current prestige.

Henry had mentioned that part of the story in a very brief manner.

Their glory had not reigned until Henry's great grand-father started to establish and develop the Qin family's talents.

This was why, until now, they became known as the century-old family who had started their own industry. Although everyone knew they had a common name, they didn't know that their businesses were being handled by only a handful of people in the family.

It was in that way did they become more prosperous again.

"I has an aunt who is four years older than me," he explained.

"Although we are around the same age, we are not that close.

After all, she's my aunt."

His grandma had doted on her. Henry was taught by his elders that he needed to respect his aunt.

"It sounds ridiculous right? I mean she is just four years older than me, but that is the truth.

But this year, she made the family a mess.

She has fallen in love with a man."

Henry was not very young. He thought that it would be good news. As long as the man was honest, then the Qin family wouldn't be asking too much.

However, it turned out the man didn't want to marry Henry's aunt.

His aunt was the only one who wanted the marriage to take place.

His grandma wouldn't allow this. She would not marry her daughter to a man who didn't even love her.

But his aunt wouldn't listen. Then, he heard that his aunt was taken to the hospital. She actually had a miscarriage.

When the man knew about this, he went to find Henry's grandma and tell her of his plans to marry his aunt.

The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted.

She just wouldn't agree to marry her daughter to the man.

Then, Henry's aunt was pregnant again. When the old lady was about to give in, the baby was miscarried again.

They then knew that Henry's aunt had three miscarriages.

The doctor had given them every test in the book,

but they still couldn't find out why she kept on having miscarriages.

The old lady asked the couple to have a complete going-over.
