"That's a great idea. I haven't seen your parents in a while," Elly agreed readily. Yancey felt like his soul had been drained out of him. He couldn't fathom how he had ended up meeting the Lambert family. Carmen and Quentin wholeheartedly supported Lily's suggestion. Carmen was absolutely delighted. "Why don't we pay them a visit? Grace has been through a lot," she said. "Lily, this is a wonderful idea. Lately, I've been so stressed about Grace that I've lost my appetite.

She has made some mistakes, and I worry she won't find a husband. I never expected your brother to be interested in her. This will bring us closer together." Carmen and Lily shared a close bond. When Lily was just a mistress, Carmen was the only one who supported her. Quentin believed the Lamberts would agree. She turned to look at him. Grace and Yancey's engagement had been publicly announced, so changing plans now would cause gossip.

Liam, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, "Dad, if you're concerned about public opinion, why not give Grace some shares? She's the only one in the family without any." The room fell silent at Liam's words. Alor was shocked by his unexpected suggestion. In her mind, the Lambert family belonged to her, and Liam was a competitor. Carmen intervened, pushing Liam aside. "What nonsense are you talking? After all Grace has done, how can we trust her with the company shares?

Aren't you worried she'll be influenced by some man and give them all away? Grace is foolish." Liam also disliked Grace for slapping him, but wasn't she entitled to a share too? He began, "Mom, Grace is..." Before he could finish, Alice interrupted, "Mom, Mrs. Henderson, if Grace marries Mr. Parker, it'll be a double celebration. I have an announcement too." She touched her stomach with a smile, "I'm pregnant with Yancey's child." Yancey, lost in thought, was jolted awake by the news.

"Alice, what did you say?" Alice, wiping her eyes, confessed, "Yancey, I found out recently. I was hesitant to tell you, fearing you still had feelings for Grace. But now, I see you've chosen me." Though he should have felt happy, Yancey was in a daze, observing others' joy. Lily and Carmen gathered around Alice excitedly. Alice wore a satisfied smile, suggesting, "Mom, with the baby on the way, we shouldn't delay the wedding.

Grace should marry first as the eldest to avoid gossip." Carmen quickly decided, "Lily, let's plan Grace and Hendrick's wedding for the end of this month. We'll inform everyone. Once her wedding is over, we can focus on Alice's." Lily teased Alice, "You silly girl, why keep your pregnancy a secret? Yancey and you are meant to be." Yancey was speechless, struggling to process the situation. He couldn't believe Alice was pregnant. Alice, noticing his confusion, asked, "Yancey, are you not happy? If you don't want the baby, I can take care of it." Yancey hugged her, promising, "Alice, I'll take care of you and the baby." Alice smiled, "Then, my sister will soon be your aunt." Yancey's mind was in a haze as he grappled with the sudden turn of events.
