Chapter 603

There were many happy events this year. Roy and Molly got married, and Shermaine was pregnant with their second child. Janice and Owen were over the moon.

Not long after Shermaine found out she was pregnant, another happy event came to the Jean family. Ruth and Richard also registered their marriage.

Richard got his wish. He had admired Ruth for so many years, and finally, at nearly fifty, he got to be with her. It had been no easy feat.

In addition, Ruth was also pregnant. Getting pregnant at that age made her both happy and worried.

Ruth’s body was a bit weak. Though she had been nourishing her body all along, getting pregnant at that age still carried too high a risk. That was what the doctor said after examining her body.

Richard immediately did not want the child, but having an abortion would be bad for Ruth’s health, too. He had no choice but to take Ruth to see Shermaine.

Now, Richard sat across from Shermaine, looking refreshed, but Ruth seemed a little embarrassed.

After taking the supplements Shermaine gave her, she looked younger and younger, and by then she did not even have white hair.

Since being with Richard, perhaps because she was nourished by love, her complexion had become even rosier. Moreover, Ruth had gained a mature charm at her age, looking very elegant.

Shermaine had quite severe negative reactions to her pregnancy this time and could not eat many things. Luckily, Joshua was good at cooking, otherwise, she would definitely have lost weight.

“Sheary, I brought Ruth here to ask for your opinion. She is pregnant now, but the doctor says the risk of childbirth is quite high. I am worried she will suffer a lot,” Richard said.

Hearing that Ruth was also pregnant, Shermaine looked delighted. She would soon have a younger brother, and Gracie and her unborn child would have an uncle. She asked, “How far along are you?”

Richard said, “More than three months.”

Ruth had gotten pregnant earlier than Shermaine. After examining Ruth and looking at her hospital test reports, Shermaine said, “The doctor was right, but the current medical conditions were good.”

She continued, “Mom, you just need to take good care of yourself during this period, and you can choose to have a Cesarean section when the time comes.”

Richard said, “I was afraid a Cesarean section would be bad for Ruth’s health.”

Shermaine comforted the anxious Richard. “It’s okay. The recovery shot I bought in the Kingdom of Xyperia is already on sale in major hospitals in Basterel. I had a shot when I gave birth to Gracie, and my body recovered very well.”

The recovery shot had been what Shermaine most wanted to bring back from the Kingdom of Xyperia back then. It had been a godsend for women.

The cost and profit of the recovery shot had not been high. Shermaine had privately negotiated this project with the government in the name of Oliger Company, and the national government had been responsible for promoting it, which had been a win-win for both sides.

Richard immediately felt relieved. Upon learning that he would soon have a child with Ruth, he was so happy that he almost danced for joy.

Time flew by, and May arrived. Everyone went to Ustrana to attend Roy and Molly’s wedding.

The magnificent castle was filled with guests, including prominent nobles from various countries, as well as Roy’s family and friends.

Henry, as the only single man, took on the role of best man. Since Molly did not have a suitable bridesmaid, she asked her secretary to be the bridesmaid.

The wedding was very grand.

Molly’s wedding dress was a noble and mysterious black. When this strapless tulle dress was finished, Roy had wanted to have it changed because it was too sexy. A large part of Molly’s back was exposed. Moreover, she had his name tattooed on her back.

He also had a tattoo of Molly’s name on his waist. No one but him and Molly could see it.

Undoubtedly, Shermaine was the most popular person at the event besides the bride and groom. Too many people had wanted to make her acquaintance. Joshua accompanied her while keeping a tight hold on her waist to protect her.

Gracie was already one year old. She could say “dad” and “mom,” but that was it. She also loved watching TV very much.

Janice and Owen had brought Gracie to the wedding. She sat in a stroller, with her soft chestnut short hair tied into small braids. Wearing a bow and a pink dress, she looked very adorable.

She had held a bottle of milk and drunk it, showing little interest in such a lively and festive occasion. After finishing the milk, she started yawning. When it was her usual nap time, she had fallen asleep right away. No matter who held her during that time, she had not woken up.

Trance had also been present. He had enthusiastically gone up to greet Shermaine.

As a former rival in love, Joshua no longer paid him any mind. Trance was single, just like Henry. At an event like that, quite a few ladies had struck up conversations with them, but they had not met any they liked.

What Trance envied most was Joshua. By then, Shermaine was going to have a second child with him, while he was still single.

Soon, witnessed by everyone, Roy and Molly completed the wedding ceremony.

When it came time to toss the bouquet, Henry had not gone to grab it. He did not need it, but the bouquet had flown straight towards him. He had no choice but to catch it.

After catching the bouquet, Henry let out a soft snort. He had already thought he was destined to be alone for the rest of his life, so getting the bouquet had really been a waste.

However, what Henry had not expected was that Lily had actually brought a boyfriend to the wedding.

He was a college student younger than her and was currently a promising member of the national swimming team. He looked quite sunny and energetic, and had an outgoing personality. When he smiled, he had dimples on his cheeks.

At the wedding party, he and Roy had gotten along well, so they had kept drinking together.

It had been getting late. Roy had been given a lot to drink, but his friends had just not let him leave. In the end, Molly had come to rescue him in her wedding dress.

Roy had drunk so much that his face had been red, and his eyes had been misty. When he saw Molly coming, he hugged her. “Momo, they’re being so mean!”

Molly smiled at them and said, “I have to take him back.”

In the moonlight, her black wedding dress trailed on the ground, and Roy’s name was tattooed on her beautiful back.

Roy smiled and said, “Momo.”

She asked, “What is it?”

He said, “My dear!”

Molly was about to turn around when he hugged her. Roy kissed the tattoo on her back and then said, "I love you the most!"

She felt the same. She loved Roy the most in this life. If there was a next life, she would fall in love with him again.
