After some time, Janine smiled and turned to look at Cordelia and hold her hand.

"How's she thin? I think she's just nice!"

Hannah was stunned.

Janine's gaze on Cordelia was not scrutinizing like other mothers-in-law to their daughters-in-law. Instead, she looked like a loving mother looking over her own daughter.

"Why would she put on so much? She'll suffer when she's in labor if her stomach is too big. And it's hard to recover postpartum! Our Cordelia's doing well like this. She'll be as pretty as she's been after delivery!"

Hannah noted that things were going wrong for her. What was happening? They were talking about "working out" just now.

She said with a chuckle, "Janine, you're right. She shouldn't put on so much so recovery's easier postpartum! Heh, I think Cordelia's very pretty now. Why else would Zephyr not leave the house at all?" "Isn't it normal for the husband and wife to be in a loving relationship?" Janine threw a sharp look at her.

Hannah's heart dropped as she stood frozen.

"What are you trying to say, Hannah?" Janine scoffed. "Why? Can't stand them being so in love? Or are you being sulky on behalf of somebody?"

"You..." Hannah's eyes bulged.

Janine rolled her eyes at her.

She knew the mother and daughter too well! Before Zephyr met Cordelia, Ava would put up a show, flirting coquettishly and clinging to him, each time he was back in Chaiseland.

Because there was a Nelly Tanner back in the Hamertons, Ava did not dare do it too openly.

Janine trusted her son's willpower too, so she pretended not to see it.

Now that her son was married and was going to be a father soon, Hannah and Ava were still hitting on him!? It was intolerable!

Janine snorted and put Cordelia behind her. Her face was icy.

"Hannah, since we're on this today, I'll make it clear to you!

"I'm happy that my son and daughter-in-law are deeply in love, but Cordelia's reputation isn't for you to slander as you wish!"

Janine glared at Hannah and uttered each word with emphasis, "Hannah, how do you know what my son and daughter-in-law do at home?"

Hannah's face fell in that instant.

"Hah, did you install some spy camera at my son's place and monitor their every move?"

Janine was being loud intentionally to attract attention.

The crowd knew about their discord and was only interested in the drama, much less who was right and wrong.

"No way? She has spy cameras in somebody's house?"

"It doesn't seem like it. Hannah isn't someone like that..."

"Meh, could the eldest princess accuse her? Silent dogs bite, you know?"

The onlookers gossiped, the good and bad all entering Hannah's ears.

She had always presented herself as a good wife and mother, so there was no way she could stomach this. She cried her innocence instantly, "Janine, how could you say this!? When have I spied on them? I.. I care for Cordelia's baby! She really shouldn't be..."

"Shouldn't be what?" Cordelia was not loud, but her presence was unmistakable. "Aunt Hannah, make yourself clear. What embarrassing stuff have I done?

"Mom!" Cordelia turned to Janine with a stern expression. "I know that there are a lot of precautions to take while having a baby, but can't I do prenatal yoga at home? Zephyr's just worried that I'll fall and hurt myself, so he stays next to me and helps me with my positions... It's just a workout, but why does it sound so awful coming from another person?"

Hannah froze, flustered.
