Chapter202

    A little sad, Gracelyn quicklyforted herself and asked

    Harriet again, “Hara, can I be your baby’s big sister in the

    future? I like you, Hara, and I like your baby too.”

    Have a baby with Ells in the future?

    Ellsworth was quite pleased to hear that, thinking Reginald was

    pretty sensible.

    Listening to Gracelyn, Harriet smiled and said, “Of course. If Auntie has a baby in the future, I’ll definitely let Grace be the big

    sister, and you two can be good friends.”

    The little girl was instantly cheered up, scooting closer to

    Harriet and whispering, “Hara, can I secretly call you ‘Mom‘ inow/i? Don’t tell my dad, okay? I want to know what it’s like to

    have a mom.”

    Harriet was touched. She herself hadn’t known what it felt like

    to have a mother for a long time.

    So she nodded to Gracelyn. “You can.”

    Seeing Harriet agree, Gracelyn was overjoyed, waving her arms,

    Chapter202

    her eyebrows dancing, hugging Harriet’s arm and rubbing her

    little face against it, and called out excitedly, “Mom!”

    Seeing the little one’s happy face, Harriet’s ears instantly turned

    red.

    Being called ‘Mom‘ for the first time, she actually felt a little

    embarrassed.

    Looking down at Gracelyn, seeing her staring at her expectantly,

    Harriet took a while topose herself, swallowed, and then

    responded, “Yes?”

    Even though she tried her best to answer, Harriet’s voice was

    still not very loud.

    But Gracelyn heard her.

    Seeing Harriet agree, Gracelyn was even happier, rubbing her

    little face against her and clinging to her, saying sweetly, “I have

    a mom, I have a mom now!”

    Looking at Gracelyn, Harriet felt as if she was seeing her

    younger self.

    So, while the little girl was being affectionate, she bent down

    and nted a gentle kiss on her head.

    Chapter202

    She then gently reminded her, “Grace, don’t move your leg, don’t

    hurt it.”

    “Okay, Mom.”

    With Gracelyn calling her ‘Mom‘ again, Harriet’s face turned red

    once more.

    After all, she had never been with a man, never experienced

    pregnancy, and wasn’t mentally prepared for it.

    On the sofa, Ellsworth looked at the two of them on the bed–one

    big, one small–and couldn’t help but smile.

    Later, after Harriet woke up from her afternoon nap, a nurse

    came to take her for a check–up, and only then did Gracelyn

    leave Harriet’s room.

    It was past six o’clock.

    After finishing a call with a colleague and discussing work,

    Harriet received a call from Vicente.

    Seeing the number, Harriet quickly answered.

    “Hello, Mr. Leach.”

    On the other end, Vicente asked gently, “Ms. Chavez, is it

    Chapter202

    convenient for you to eat at the hospital? Do you need me to

    have someone bring you meals?”

    Hearing Vicente’s concern, Harriet quickly replied politely,

    “Thank you, Mr. Leach. My mother–inw brings me meals every

    day.”

    “Mother–inw?” Vicente was immediately surprised.

    On her end, Harrietughed and said, “Yes, I’ve been married for

    several years. My husband has been taking care of me in the

    hospital these days, and it’s my mother–inw who brings me

    food.”

    “Oh.” Vicente responded, then smiled again. “Ms. Chavez, you’re

    so young. I didn’t expect you to be married already.”

    He added, “But as long as someone is taking care of you, that’s

    good.”

    “Yes.” Harriet said, “But thank you for your concern, Mr. Leach.”

    After that, the two exchanged a few more polite words and then

    hung up.

    She wasn’t deliberately hinting at anything to Vicente–she wasn’t that self–absorbed. The topic just came up, so she

    Chapter202

    honestly admitted she was married.

    Nearby, Deloris was setting out the food she brought on the

    dining table,ining to Harriet, “Miss, the Graham family is

    too calcting. You’re injured and hospitalized, and now

    someone from the Graham family is in the hospital too.”

    “When I came over just now, I saw the young master and Ms.

    Graham going to the ward next door together. I even followed

    them to check. The young master is really something–hasn’t

    finished the paperwork here, but doesn’t keep his distance over

    there. How embarrassing for you.”

    Hearing Deloris’s indignation, Harriet limped slowly to the table

    and said calmly, “It’s not the first time. Fortunately, it doesn’t

    have much to do with me now–just a piece of paper left. Let him

    be.”

    Even if they didn’t let him be, there was nothing they could do

    about Ellsworth.

    Deloris hurried over to help Harriet, muttering, “I really don’t

    know whose son–inw he is. If it doesn’t work out, just get the

    paperwork done soon and stop dragging you down, Miss. I

    think this Mr. Leach is quite nice–very considerate and has a

    good temper.”

    Chapter202

    Harriet just smiled and said nothing.

    In life, marriage isn’t everything. There are many other

    meaningful things one can do.
