Chapter 585

“All right. I'll go wait for you at home then. Don't work too late, okay?”

Preoccupied with how he wanted to care for the daughter that was forthcoming, Michael was too
distracted to listen to anything that I was saying.

“Okay. I'll be home early tonight.” Michael smiled in assent.

Looking at him now, he might have accompanied me home right away had he not been tied down by so
much work on his hands.

Josephine was already waiting for me when I got back to the Shaw residence. She approached
immediately the minute I stepped in and regarded me with jovial anticipation.

“What comes of the test results, Anna? Are you pregnant?” Josephine looked at me excitedly as
though she already had the answer.

“Your intuition was simply spot-on, Mom.” I smiled broadly.

“Oh my. This is simply wonderful. Now our little Amaury is going to have himself a little brother or
sister.”

She was all smiles, and the joy was also palpable in her eyes.

I shook my head in disapproval. Being the one who was pregnant, I thought that I ought to be the one
who was happiest about it. Yet, it would seem that the members of the Shaw family were even more
over the moon than I was.



“I'm tired, Mom. I think I would like to head upstairs to rest.”

After I cast a smile at Josephine, I went on to make my way upstairs as I was genuinely in some
degree of discomfort.

“Go on ahead then. I'd have the housekeeper prepare something nutritious for you later.”

Owing to my status, Josephine did not mind my manners. On the contrary, she eagerly went on to get
the housekeeper to make something nice for me.

I was not sure whether it was because of my pregnancy that Michael came home very early this day.
He even walked in clutching a huge bouquet of roses in his hands. Thinking back, it had been a while
since he had gotten any flowers for me.

“Are those for me, or for that lover from your past life?” I purposefully projected a stern demeanor as I
looked him in the eye.

“Both. I'm presenting this to the both of you.” Michael wore a playful expression on his face when he
heard what I said.

Speechless, I rolled my eyes at him. For us both? Hmph.

When this news reached the ears of the rest of the Shaw family, all of them treated me preciously and
refused to even allow me to return to the office.

In my own esteem, I thought that it was not necessary for them to coddle me like that. However, since



all of them were unanimous in that decision, I had no choice but to put my own career on hold. I applied
for maternity leave with my boss and would wait until the baby had been delivered before returning to
work.
“All right. I'll go wait for you at home then. Don't work too late, okay?”
“All right. I'll go wait for you at homa than. Don't work too lata, okay?”

Praoccupiad with how ha wantad to cara for tha daughtar that was forthcoming, Michaal was too
distractad to listan to anything that I was saying.

“Okay. I'll ba homa aarly tonight.” Michaal smilad in assant.

Looking at him now, ha might hava accompaniad ma homa right away had ha not baan tiad down by so
much work on his hands.

Josaphina was alraady waiting for ma whan I got back to tha Shaw rasidanca. Sha approachad
immadiataly tha minuta I stappad in and ragardad ma with jovial anticipation.

“What comas of tha tast rasults, Anna? Ara you pragnant?” Josaphina lookad at ma axcitadly as
though sha alraady had tha answar.

“Your intuition was simply spot-on, Mom.” I smilad broadly.

“Oh my. This is simply wondarful. Now our littla Amaury is going to hava himsalf a littla brothar or
sistar.”

Sha was all smilas, and tha joy was also palpabla in har ayas.



I shook my haad in disapproval. Baing tha ona who was pragnant, I thought that I ought to ba tha ona
who was happiast about it. Yat, it would saam that tha mambars of tha Shaw family wara avan mora
ovar tha moon than I was.

“I'm tirad, Mom. I think I would lika to haad upstairs to rast.”

Aftar I cast a smila at Josaphina, I want on to maka my way upstairs as I was ganuinaly in soma
dagraa of discomfort.

“Go on ahaad than. I'd hava tha housakaapar prapara somathing nutritious for you latar.”

Owing to my status, Josaphina did not mind my mannars. On tha contrary, sha aagarly want on to gat
tha housakaapar to maka somathing nica for ma.

I was not sura whathar it was bacausa of my pragnancy that Michaal cama homa vary aarly this day.
Ha avan walkad in clutching a huga bouquat of rosas in his hands. Thinking back, it had baan a whila
sinca ha had gottan any flowars for ma.

“Ara thosa for ma, or for that lovar from your past lifa?” I purposafully projactad a starn damaanor as I
lookad him in tha aya.

“Both. I'm prasanting this to tha both of you.” Michaal wora a playful axprassion on his faca whan ha
haard what I said.

Spaachlass, I rollad my ayas at him. For us both? Hmph.

Whan this naws raachad tha aars of tha rast of tha Shaw family, all of tham traatad ma praciously and



rafusad to avan allow ma to raturn to tha offica.

In my own astaam, I thought that it was not nacassary for tham to coddla ma lika that. Howavar, sinca
all of tham wara unanimous in that dacision, I had no choica but to put my own caraar on hold. I appliad
for matarnity laava with my boss and would wait until tha baby had baan dalivarad bafora raturning to
work.

As my boss had business contacts with Michael, he readily approved of my request when I tabled it.

At first, I thought it might have been a difficult ask but seeing how understanding he was much
improved my esteem of him.

That was. Until I found out later that Michael had already called on him beforehand, and also placed a
huge order with him.

Things were getting increasingly tough for us at our company for a while now, but with Michael's help,
we were quickly able to get back on our feet.

The benefit of getting in Michael's good graces had been an unquestionably good return for granting
one year of maternity leave.

Thus far, my time with the Shaw family had seen its fair share of trials and tribulations, but now, the
family had me on a pedestal and would not allow me to do anything. Whether it be wanting to do a bit
of exercise or just some simple cleaning up, they would be sure to get in ahead of me.

I could very well be considered the biggest bum within the Shaw residence. As I had never received
this manner of treatment before, it took some getting used to.



Alicia was also delighted to learn of my pregnancy, and she visited the Shaw residence, bearing many
gifts.

“Why do you need to bring me so much stuff for a casual visit, Mom?”

The sight of the maternity supplements my mother had prepared for me made me feel all warm and
fuzzy inside.

Even though I had vehemently resented her previously, through our interactions over this past period, I
had already forgiven her since.

After all, blood is thicker than water. No matter what happened in the past, we were still family. Over
this past period, I, too, had only grown more appreciative of the love she had for me.

“Anna, y-you're finally willing to call me Mom...”

Alicia's tear ducts burst like a dam and her eyes were filled with jubilation when she heard me address
her as such.

Seeing her so emotional made me feel terrible and even remorseful at having said such mean things to
her before. I bet that she would never in her life expect that I would ever change the way I addressed
her.

“I was wrong, Mom. I shouldn't have said such hurtful things to you before. I'm so sorry.”



As I regarded her, my own eyes too, puffed up.

In the next second, Alicia threw her arms around me and her tears flowed ceaselessly. I understood
then that she only said what she said to me because she cared.

Janette arrived alongside Alicia, but it was for the first time that she did not regard me with scorn when
she saw me and waited till Alicia and I settled ourselves before she came over.

“I was wrong to treat you the way I did previously, Anna, and am here expressly to apologize to you.
Thank you for having done so much for me, and also, I hope that you'd be able to forgive me,” said
Janette in earnest when she came before me.

I was surprised by the change in her attitude. Never had I expected for a willful scion like her to humble
herself before anyone. Is this the Janette Campbell that I used to know? I was starting to wonder
whether my own ears were playing tricks on me. To think that she would apologize to me?

“It's okay, as it's all water under the bridge, so long as you do not have Mom constantly worrying so
much for you.”

Since Janette took the initiative to offer an olive branch, I could not continue to be petty with her, as in
my eyes, she was but an immature child.

Janette smiled at me, and gone was the antagonism she had for me in the past. At this moment, I felt
that she could still be a very lovable girl if she could keep her own imperious ways in check.

With everything going so swimmingly in my life, it would seem that only good things could happen to
me. Basking in the reconciliations with both Alicia and Janette and adoration from the Shaw family



made me feel like I was the luckiest woman in the world.

A few months later, the second child that I conceived with Michael was born, and she really turned out
to be a girl. For a moment I thought Michael was just making a wild guess, but his prediction turned out
to be unexpectedly accurate.

After the birth of our daughter, Michael had turned into such a doting father toward her. He would
unfailingly smother her with kisses every single night after he got home, so much so that it sometimes
made Amaury green with envy.

Though our lives might still be littered with sporadic doses of bickering from time to time, most of our
days together would be spent in sheer blissfulness.

Hence, I believe that our happiness would continue forever and ever...
