The old couple spoke as they both turned to look at Keaton, their tone a mix of earnest advice and warning.
"You''d better treasure Winona. Meeting her is the best thing that will ever happen to you! If you lose her, you''ll lose all your good fortune for the rest of your life!"
"You dare lose her, and I''ll break your legs! Don''t you dare test me!"
Keaton just stood there. "..." He really couldn''t catch a break. If he talked, he got chewed out. If he stayed silent, he still got chewed out.
Suddenly, something urred to him, and he couldn''t help but ask, "Mom, about this whole Beatrix situation, how did Winona manage to calm you two down?"
Mentioning this made Janelle happy, and she smiled. "Winona told us everything about you two. Even though she''s not pregnant, you two are definitely together, and you''re even nning to get married and have kids."
Keaton''s eyes widened. Get married and have kids?! Oh my god, you have to be kidding me!
"Winona said that?"
Janelle nodded. "Yes, Winona said it. She said as soon as this business with Zane is dealt with, you two will start nning the wedding."
Richard smiled. "Winona promised. She absolutely promised we''d get to hold our grandchild in our lifetime!"
Keaton''s eyes grew even wider. "She dared to say that? Who''s going to have this baby?!"
The couple said in unison, "Winona!"
Keaton''s mouth twitched uncontrobly. "!"
He knew Winona was also firmly against marriage. Forget having kids, she wouldn''t even get married!
Seeing his disbelief, Janelle added, "Don''t try to hide it. Winona really said it. She told us herself, she''s going to give us a grandchild!"
Keaton was speechless. ". "...
He wouldn''t believe that in a million years. Not that he didn''t believe his parents, but he didn''t believe Winona Winona must have said it, otherwise his parents wouldn''t be making it up. But Winona having baby for them? Hahahaha.
No wonder Winona had managed to pacify them, even throwing out a promise like
having kids. How was she going to get out of this one?
Keaton looked at his father, then at
his mother, saw their joyful faces, and felt a deep sense of pity for them. His parents'' lives weren''t easy, held together entirely by lies They were either being fooled by him or by Winona... One after the other! Cóntent
Sigh...
"Mom, Dad, when you two get old, I''ll definitely take good care of you."
Keaton''s sudden burst of sentimentality startled Richard and Janelle for a moment, then their faces broke into wide smiles.
"You are thepany you keep. After spending time with Winona, this brat is getting more thoughtful."
"He should be stuck to Winona''s side every day. She''ll make him a better person!" Keaton was dumbfounded. "..." His parents had beenpletely brainwashed by Winona! It really was true: when you like someone, everything they do is perfect.
After some time, a suddenmotion came from outside the door.
Curious, Janelle and Richard went out to see what was happening. Keaton couldn''t resist either, getting out of bed and walking out of the room.
A few young people, both men and women, had arrived outside, carryingrge bags. "Ms. Newsom."
Winona smiled. "Thank you all foring. It''s this room. Ms. Sutton is still resting, so please try to be as quiet as you can."
"Okay." The group entered Beatrix''s room, opened their bags, and started pulling out streamers and balloons to decorate.
Winona went in to help, calling for Elysia and Tarquin to join in.
Janelle and Richard had no idea what Winona was nning, but seeing everyone else busy, they went over to help too.
Curious, Keaton followed them into
the room. He nced at the unconscious Beatrix on the bed and frowned. He walked over to
Winona''s side and asked, "What are you doing?"
