Mrs. Winstead also followed them in. After all, such behavior was not unfamiliar for someone like her. The moment she saw Serenity’s condition, she knew what was going on. “It’s just morning sickness. It’s nothing serious.” Serenity had vomited quite badly so her face had turned as pale as a sheet of paper. After she vomited, she rinsed her mouth while Mrs. Winstead handed her a towel. Serenity wiped her face and left the bathroom.

“Why don’t we go to the hospital for a check-up?” asked Gabriel as he supported his wife who had gone a little weak.

“There’s no use going to the hospital,” said Mrs. Winstead. “This is normal for pregnant women. They’ll be fine after a while.”

Serenity couldn’t stand the smell of greasy food anymore so as soon as she sat down, she felt her stomach churn again and immediately disappeared into the bathroom once more.

Gabriel looked at the dishes on the table and said, “Remove them and make some lighter dishes.”

“You haven’t eaten yet,” said Mrs. Winstead hesitantly.

Gabriel no longer had much of an appetite so he simply took two bites before Mrs. Winstead removed the dishes.

Not long after, Serenity came out of the washroom, still looking a little pale. Gabriel poured her some warm water and sat her down on the sofa. “Are you feeling very uncomfortable?”

Serenity held the glass of water and leaned against his chest. Ever since the two moved in together, he rarely smoked. Therefore, all she could smell was the refreshing scent of mint on his clothes.

She took a deep breath of his clothes and her stomach felt much better. “It seems that it’s not easy being a mother.”

That was when she thought of Helena Turner. Even if Master Samson complained that she had failed to produce a son, Helena still loved her youngest nonetheless, unlike her father Benjamin Rivers.

But why would one think otherwise? They were mother and daughter after all, two people related by blood, the former birthed the latter. No matter what, how could she give up on her child?

Vomiting was not pleasant, but it could not overshadow the joy in her heart these symptoms only confirmed the existence of the little one growing within her.

Mrs. Winstead quickly made a bowl of noodles in clear broth. There was a layer of green onions and a few green vegetable. “Young Madam, although it’s light, it tastes good.”

But by then, Serenity had lost her appetite.

Gabriel noticed her listless expression. “Eat at least a little,” said he gently.

“You shouldn’t starve yourself or the baby.”

She took the bowl of noodles and took a bite. Thankfully, this time, she didn’t feel like vomiting like before, so she ate the rest of the bowl with ease.

Although it was plain noodles, it wasn’t entirely tasteless. Serenity could taste the fragrance of chopped green onions in her mouth and light broth was delicious. She finally put down her cutlery after eating more than half of the bowl of noodles.

She was a little full from the meal. Gabriel accompanied her for a walk on the lawn in the backyard of the villa. That was when she asked, “Your mother doesn’t like me?”

“They only like the daughter-in-law they choose,” said Gabriel with composure.

She sat down on the swing in frustration. Her face was filled with sorrow. “How are we going to get along with them in the future?”

Gabriel looked at her worried face and sat down beside her. “You have two amulets. What are you afraid of?”

She turned to look at him blankly. Then, she understood what he meant. His words could also be interpreted as though he said, “With me around, what are you afraid of?”

But what was the other amulet?

Gabriel saw that her watery eyes were filled with doubt. His gaze swept toward her still-flat stomach. “You seem to have forgotten about the little one.”

“That’s true.” She touched her abdomen with her palm. Even if Keith and Sulia didn’t like her, they wouldn’t reject the Jones family’s flesh and blood. “What if they only acknowledge their grandson and not me?”

“Then what is the point of getting pregnant?” asked he, raising his eyebrows.

“It’s not impossible,” said she seriously..
