Chapter 469 Single People
Stuart hurriedly said, "That's great, congratulations!"
Steven also said, "Congratulations! The check-up went well, right?"
"Very well." Jair supported Claudia, "I'll take Claudia home first, we won't join you guys."
"Go home and rest." Josephine said, "Remember everything the doctor advised? Call me anytime if you need anything!"
Jair said, "I remember everything, I'll definitely need your help later."
"There's no trouble at all." Laura said, "Claudia is pregnant, we're happier than anyone!"
Jair helped Claudia into the car, and just as she sat down, his phone rang.
He glanced at the caller ID and said, "I need to take this call."
He stepped aside to answer the phone.
Josephine and Laura came over to remind Claudia of a few things.
While they were talking, Jair returned.
Seeing his troubled expression, Laura directly asked, "What's wrong?"
Jair, holding his phone, looked at Claudia, "I... I have to go back to the military base."
Before Claudia could speak, Laura got agitated, "Go back to the military base now? Aren't you on leave? Claudia just got pregnant!"
Claudia got out of the car and pulled Laura aside.
Laura angrily said, "Why are you pulling me? You just got pregnant and are still taking medication to protect the baby. How can you manage alone? And he just leaves like that!"
Jair's jaw tightened. There was an urgent task at the military base, and he had to go back. Obeying orders was his duty. He had no choice.
Claudia looked at Jair, "You go ahead, I'll be fine."
Laura snorted beside her.
Josephine said, "Given Claudia's current condition, it's best not to go back to Hustalia for now. Claudia, come stay at my place."
Claudia replied, "No need, I can..."
Jair interrupted her, "Be good, go with Josephine first. I'll handle things quickly and come back as soon as possible."
He then looked at Josephine, "Please take care of her!"
Claudia got into Stuart's car again. Josephine sat in the back with her.
Pregnant women were usually more sensitive.
Josephine, worried Claudia might overthink, said, "The military base is like that, nothing we can do. But didn't he say he was going to retire?"
Claudia said, "Yes, maybe next year. I'm fine, I was mentally prepared for this when I decided to be with him."
Josephine held her hand, "At my place, it's just like your own home. If my mom finds out you're pregnant, she'll be thrilled."
Nicole had met her and Laura before and liked her daughter's two good friends very much.
Stuart, driving in the front, said, "Josephine, weren't we taking Claudia to our place?"
Josephine said, "Let's go to my mom's place. She takes good care of people, and it's convenient."
Stuart thought, if Claudia went to The Clarence Mansion, Josephine would definitely go too. Jair might not come to pick her up for days. At that time, Josephine might not be able to return to the Haustia Mansion for several days.
He said, "Then I'll go too."
Josephine glared at him, "Leave Grandpa alone at home? How does that look? You stay home."
Stuart said nothing more.
Claudia said, "Actually, I'm fine on my own..."
"Alright." Josephine said, "At my place, what could you be uncomfortable with?"
Claudia smiled, "Okay, it's fine, I'll go."
At The Clarence Mansion, upon hearing Claudia was pregnant, Nicole was indeed very happy and immediately instructed the kitchen to make some soup. Knowing Claudia still needed to take medication, she specifically checked what foods were off-limits.
The guest room was also prepared, with a great view and large windows, right next to Josephine's room.
After all the fuss, Josephine, worried Claudia might be tired, told her to rest in bed. As for Claudia's belongings, Laura had already volunteered to fetch them and would bring them over soon.
Downstairs, Nicole was looking at a recipe book. Hearing Josephine coming down, she asked, "Is she asleep?"
"She's lying down, let her sleep for a while." Josephine said, "The doctor also said she needs plenty of rest."
"Yes, she needs plenty of rest at this time." Nicole said, "Tell me, what foods does Claudia dislike?"
After chatting for a while, Nicole sighed, "This is wonderful."
Josephine said, "You're so happy. When Claudia has her baby, let the child call you Grandma."
"Sure." Nicole said, "Now that Claudia is pregnant, what about Laura? What have they decided?"
Josephine said, "She's like a child, still playful, not ready for a baby yet."
Nicole said, "Steven isn't young anymore, right?"
"Exactly." Josephine said, "But there's nothing he can do, Steven doesn't get to decide."
Nicole said, "Well, it's their business. When to have a baby or not is up to them."
"Mom, you're quite modern." Josephine said, "You even accept the idea of not having kids?"
Nicole said, "Don't underestimate me. Why wouldn't I accept it?"
"That's because Gerald and I already have kids." Josephine laughed, "But what if Ulysses or Jeffery decide not to have kids after they get married, would you accept that?"
Nicole smiled, "I won't interfere."
Josephine laughed, "Mom, you're the best."
Nicole poked her, "Jeffery is still so young, and you're already talking about not having kids."
"Don't worry, I won't be child-free." Josephine said, "Mom, just wait, maybe soon I'll give you a granddaughter."
"Really?" Nicole was overjoyed, "Have you and Stuart discussed it?"
"See, you say you're okay with not having kids, but you're so happy when I mention having one."
Nicole said, "It's different. I respect others' choices, but I still love kids. There's no contradiction."
Josephine said, "Alright, I'll work on it."
Nicole said, "Then bring Stuart over, I'll have the kitchen make some nourishing soup for him."
Thinking of Stuart's already formidable stamina, Josephine quickly said, "No, no, he doesn't need it."
"Of course he does!" Nicole said, "Men over thirty, their sperm quality declines. You too, are you taking folic acid? You need to exercise moderately every day."
Josephine said, "Don't tell anyone about this, I haven't decided yet."
"Alright, alright, I'm just happy you have the idea. But if you and Stuart have a daughter, she'd be so beautiful."
Josephine said, "Could she be more beautiful than me?"
Nicole laughed heartily, "Oh, I didn't know my daughter was so narcissistic."
"I learned it from you, Mom."
The two laughed together. Gerald came back and saw them laughing, "What's so funny?"
Nicole gave him a look, "You're single, you don't get to ask."
Gerald said with grievance, "Mom, what did I do now?"
