Chapter 1340
“Yes, I got it.” Ren smiled warmly. His family’s love for him was his source of strength.
Meanwhile, at a hillside villa near the city center, a grand feast was laid out on the dining table, and the
woman who stood at the French window waiting for her husband to come home was dressed in a beige
dress designed for pregnant women. From behind, she still looked like a young lady, but if one walked
around her, they would see her beautiful belly, She caressed it while waiting patiently.
Just then, she saw the flashing car lights drawing near. Her lips curved into a smile. He was home
at last.
Near the dining table, an old man sat down for a game of chess with his grandson. The young heir of
the Presgraves was already showing all the makings of a highly intelligent soul. He carefully considered
his every move, so much so that Francis was beginning to feel the pressure!
After all, the six–year–old had won several times now.
“Jared, haven’t you figured out your next move yet?” Francis asked with a smile.
“Hang on, Grandpa. I’ve almost figured it out.” Jared looked up. His handsome face looked more and
more like his father’s every day.
Jared made his move and Francis couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise at how much of an expert he
was at chess already. His move had been the best one possible.
“Your turn, Grandpa!” Jared grinned. “My, my. You’re nearly as good as me now. Let me think.” Francis
studied the chessboard as if he had finally met his match.
Jared rested his head on his hands to wait. He looked like a proper little gentleman in his black
sweater. When he heard the sounds outside, he smiled and said, “My father’s home.”
Francis nodded. “Yeah! Just in time for Christmas Eve dinner.”
“Mommy needs to go to the hospital once we’re done with dinner. I’ll get to see my sister in a few
days,” Jared enthused.
“That’s right! We’ll have a new member of the family soon.” Francis was just as excited about it. In his
old age, nothing felt more meaningful than spending time with his family.
Against the backdrop of the evening sky, Elliot stepped out of the car and speed–walked to the house.
When he saw the woman who was waiting at the door, he reached out to hold her and asked, “Why are
you standing at the door when it’s so cold?”
“I’m waiting for you, of course!” Anastasia tilted her head up to look at him. The light highlighted her
refined features and the warmth of her beauty shone. Even though she was a pregnant woman, she
was still as attractive as ever.
