Chapter 714

“Jonathan,” Werner interjected. “The whole family knows you’re going to be a dad. This is great news! This is the Lynn family’s first grandson!”

“I heard Donald and Cheryl faked the report to keep you from finding out,” Werner continued. “Don’t worry, I’ll give them a piece of my mind. I’ll stand up for you.”

Jonathan rubbed his temples. “I’m out of town right now. I can’t make it back.”

Hayden snorted. “You’re always so busy, running around every day. I swear, you can’t even tell what’s important anymore. But I don’t care. I want to see my adorable great-grandson right this instant.”

“Grandpa, it’s really not possible today,” Jonathan said. “I’ll bring Mike back when I get a chance, but there’s no way I’m letting him go alone. He’s just a kid. Without me and Teresa, he’ll be scared. Please don’t frighten him.”

Hayden was quiet for a few seconds, then chuckled. “I knew it. Teresa’s the one who had your kid, right? Your mom tried to hide it from me, saying she didn’t know who the mother was. Come on, who else would put up with you enough to have your child except Teresa?”

Jonathan looked at Teresa, still unconscious in bed. He thought, ‘Yeah, who else but her?’

“Tomorrow, you bring Teresa and Mike home together,” Hayden demanded. “Teresa gave our family its first grandson, and you’re still not remarried to her? What, you want them out there suffering alone?”

“How could I ever let them suffer?” Jonathan pinched the bridge of his nose. Knowing what he needed to do, he hung up.

He then called Gary, briefly informing him that the family already knew about Michael.

“How did they find out so fast? Was it you, bro?” Gary asked, surprised, believing Jonathan would wait a few days.

“Wasn’t me. Anyway, the whole family knows now. It’s a good thing. I have nothing to hide,” Jonathan replied.

Jonathan asked Gary to look after Michael for now and not bring him to the Lynn residence yet. There were too many people, and Michael was still so young.

“Don’t worry, bro. I know what you mean. Mike’s still little. Without you, he’d definitely be scared,” Gary said.

“Yeah,” Jonathan replied. “I’m busy here. I’ll hang up now.”

“Alright,” Gary agreed.

Jonathan sat by the bed, gazing at Teresa. He already had a son, and honestly, that was enough. At least, he wouldn’t be childless. But now, realizing she was pregnant again, he smiled. ‘Who would’ve thought I’d end up with two kids by thirty-one?’ he mused.

Teresa’s eyelashes fluttered as she slowly opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was Jonathan’s gentle smile. For a split second, she thought she must be dreaming. She realized he was holding her hand, the touch making her palm feel hot, and she quickly pulled away.

“You’re awake. How are you feeling? Are you uncomfortable anywhere?” Jonathan asked, reaching out to touch her face, but Teresa turned away.

Jonathan withdrew his hand, forcing himself to be patient. “I bought you some food. Try to eat something now.”

Teresa snapped back to reality, her voice flat. “I don’t need you fussing over me.” Remembering Irene’s words before she passed, she wanted nothing to do with him.

“I’m not hungry,” she said, turning her back, her posture cold and distant.

Jonathan raised an eyebrow. “How can you not be hungry after not eating all day? The baby must be starving!”

Teresa’s body went rigid. ‘He knows,’ she thought.
