Wrong marriage and sweet love (Joyce and Luther)
Chapter 1976: Private Chat Space

Chapter 1976: Private Chat Space

They embraced each other passionately, unable to part.

It had been too long since they had embraced each other wholeheartedly like this, and this kiss allowed them to relax completely, immersing themselves in the happiness of a lifetime after the ordeal.

It wasn't until the sound of a phone ringing interrupted them that they finally pulled apart.

Luther breathed slightly, "It's your phone ringing, not mine."

"Mmm," Joyce nodded, taking out her phone from her pocket.

"It's a video call, not a phone call. It's Juanita calling," Joyce looked up at Luther.

"Answer it, she knows you successfully gave birth. I informed them," Luther nodded slightly.

Joyce subconsciously adjusted her long hair and quickly answered the call.

On the screen appeared Juanita's cute and lively face.

"Wow, Joyce, long time no see. You're more beautiful than ever," Juanita's exuberant voice burst into the scene.

Joyce smiled at the screen, "Juanita, did you cut your hair shorter? You look very energetic. How have you been lately?"

Juanita rolled her eyes, "What could be wrong with me? Just eating and sleeping every day, I feel like I'm turning into a pig. They're treating me like a pig. Even though I'm perfectly fine, they won't let me go to work. Ugh, so annoying. Look at my face, have I gained a lot of weight?"

Joyce chuckled, "They are spoiling you. You haven't gained any weight at all. You can eat a bit more."

Juanita scratched her head irritably, "Eat more? The baby hasn't grown much, all the weight is on my own body. Oh, by the way. I video-called to ask about your situation. How come it turned into you asking me? Hey, you gave birth to two sons and didn't think to tell me. Mr. Warner had to tell me, you're not very considerate."

"I forgot, sorry," Joyce grinned.

"Never mind, where are my godsons? Show them to me quickly," Juanita looked at Joyce expectantly.

"They're both in the incubator, they can't go home until they're two weeks old. Since I gave birth prematurely, it's safer for them to stay in the incubator for a while. So you can't see them now. When they come home, I'll video call you," Joyce explained.

"Oh. Are the children okay?" Juanita got a little nervous hearing about the incubator.

"They're fine. By the way, step back a bit. Let me see how big your belly is now. If I remember correctly, you're due to give birth in two or three months, right?" Joyce asked.

"Yes. My belly has been growing rapidly lately, like a balloon. It's hard to walk. I'm not used to it. Otherwise, I would have already gone to Khebury to see you now. What a pity," Juanita pouted.

"What's the rush? There's plenty of time in the future." Joyce looked at the screen, at Juanita's big belly, and said, "Your belly isn't that big. If you experience twin pregnancy, you'll know how burdensome my body was before, walking was difficult."

"Ah, my current mood is quite contradictory. I look forward to giving birth quickly, getting rid of the burden sooner, and relaxing sooner. But at the same time, I'm a bit scared," Juanita looked troubled. "What are you afraid of?" Joyce asked.

"I'm afraid of being a mother? I've never been a mother before, I don't know if I can do it well," Juanita sighed.

"You'll definitely be the best mother. Don't worry so much."

At this moment, a gentle male voice sounded from behind Juanita, obviously Karl.

Juanita was taken aback, turning her head to ask, "You didn't go to work? I thought you had already left."

"No, not busy recently. Have time to accompany you more," Karl's handsome and clear face appeared on the screen.

He waved at Joyce, greeting, "Long time no see, you look good. Not like someone who just gave birth."

Joyce smiled back at Karl, "Karl looks different from before, about to be a father. There's more smile on your face than before. You should smile more often."

Karl chuckled softly, "Congratulations on safely delivering twin sons. Where's Luther? Is he beside you?"

Luther didn't want to disturb Joyce and Juanita's video chat, but when Karl asked, he also appeared on the screen.

"Of course," he wrapped his arm around Joyce, "I have to take good care of her."

"By the way, when the children turn one month old, I plan to have a wedding. However, you might not be able to attend. I forgot, Juanita is about to give birth," Luther said, "A bit of a shame."

"Ah!" Juanita raised her voice in dissatisfaction, "I can't believe I can't go to Joyce's wedding, it's so unfortunate! Why not wait for me?"

Karl laughed and patted Juanita's head, "They've waited long enough for this wedding. How much longer do you want them to wait for you? By the time you give birth, finish your postpartum recovery, three months will have passed. I'll go on your behalf."

"What can you represent for me? Ugh, so annoying, I'm not happy," Juanita pouted, "It's not just the wedding, but also my godsons' one-month banquet. I can't attend any of them."

Joyce quickly reassured, "It's okay, it's just a formality. We'll have plenty of opportunities to get together. I'll take the children back to the Capital to see you. Will that do?" Juanita reluctantly said, "I guess."

At this point, Karl asked, "Mr. Warner, Joyce, I've heard about Athena's situation. I haven't contacted you because I didn't want to disturb you. After Athena's death, there are no complications, right?" Luther furrowed his brows slightly, "There shouldn't be."

Karl said, "That's good. There's been some activity from the Rohomes side recently, and I've been a bit worried. Now that you've said that, I feel relieved."

Luther and Joyce exchanged a glance, they knew that the Rohomes movement was Grayson's way of diverting attention, opening up a gap with Cecelia. They didn't expect even Karl to be alerted. Joyce signaled to Luther, with Juanita about to give birth, she didn't want Karl to be distracted further and worry about their affairs.

Luther understood, "It shouldn't concern us. My father-in-law and mother-in-law will handle it on the military side, we don't need to worry."

Karl nodded.

Unable to bear it any longer, Juanita pushed Karl away forcefully, "You always talk about work, can't go three sentences without mentioning it. I want to chat with Joyce, you insist on joining in."

Karl, "..."

He indulgently said, "Alright, I'll stop. You two chat."

Luther also said, "I'll leave too, let them chat."

The two men left the frame simultaneously, leaving the space for private chat to the women.
