"Good! Good! That's great!" Austin was so happy that h e rubbed his hands together.
At that moment when he heard that his daughter-in-law was pregnant with twins, Austin had completely forgotten that he wanted to kick Ruth out earlier on. H e just kept rubbing his hands together while pacing back and forth. "She is truly my good daughter-in-law. She actually is pregnant with twins! Haha! Twins! I am going to be a grandfather? We...we are going to be grandparents? We’re going to be grandparents to two children? Say, grandma-to-be, are grandsons better or granddaughters better? If it's up to me, the best is to have a boy and a girl!"
It was as if the children would be fraternal twins if Austin had said so.
"I like girls more," said Patricia. "I have had enough of raising my son. He had never been of one mind with m e since childhood. He was not close to me at all. I want two granddaughters!"
The old couple unexpectedly did not favor boys over girls. However, they seemed to have forgotten that they were not the ones who were expecting, and it was their son and his wife, instead. When Ruth saw the couple discussing so enthusiastically and happily, and was being so carried away outside of the door that they did not let others into the house, Ruth just sneered through her nose.
She could not help but secretly mutter, 'You said that I am a shrew and a peasant without any image. Why don't you look at the way both of you look now! You're acting like a typical small and common family! Hmph!'
As soon as he found that he had become a father, Ryan seemed to have grown up in a second. In the past, what he had for Ruth was love and affection. He liked that she was silly, dumb, and always seemed a little mindless, but was also very fond of learning, shrewish, and inferior at the same time. That made her the embodiment of an incomparable cuteness.
She was not coy at all. Even if she was fierce, she was also fierce in a very frank way, and yet, she was pitiful from her core. Ryan just liked Ruth like that.
However, at that moment, he had another kind of affection for a family on top of his fondness for Ruth. From then on, the couple would have two children between them, and they would have even more in the future. They will never be able to be separated again. Just like their own parents, they would love each other for life.
