"Mom!" Hope, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly began to flap his arms and bounce around, his mouth bubbling with the word 'mom'.
Jeremy immediately stood up and walked over to Cornelia, pulling her into his arms. "Honey, I am sorry."
Cornelia replied, "I was wrong too."
Jeremy asked, "So are you still mad at me?"
Cornelia replied, "I was upset with you last night, but after cooling down, I'm not mad anymore."
Jeremy said, "I'll be more considerate in the future."d2
Zavier joked, "Marc, can you two stop being so mushy?"
Lucas cleared his throat awkwardly.
Only Steven picked up Hope, and brought him over to Hannah like a puppy, "Hannah, come hug our godson."
Hannah didn't even glance at Steven. She simply took Hope in her arms and cuddled her, rubbing her gently. "Son, call me godmother."
Hannah video chatted with Hope nearly every day, so the little one recognized her. He opened his mouth and softly called, "Mama."
Hearing this, Hannah's heart melted."Nelly, our son just called me."
Cornelia saw Lucas drinking alone and remembered that Rosie wasn't there, "Mr. Lucas, why isn't Rosie with you?"
Lucas replied, "She's at home with her parents. She'll join us next time."
Although his excuse was plausible, those who knew him could tell he was lying. Cornelia didn't want to pry further, but their group of friends wouldn't let it go easily. Especially Zavier, who when feeling upset, liked to drag everyone else down with him, "Lucas, don't tell me your wife wants a divorce?"
He was just joking, but Lucas became flustered, "No way! Never! In the Duncan family, we only have widows, never divorces."
Zavier joked, "Why are you so worked up? Trying to give me a heart attack?"
Lucas realized he had lost control of his emotions and quickly composed himself, "Enough about me, let's talk about Steven. What's going on between you two?"
