Lucas Jennings was so frustrated by Ismeria Jennings’ words that he nearly spat blood.
How many times had he said it — he’s not pregnant!
Give birth to what?!
Yet Scarlett Jennings stared at him for a while and then surprisingly agreed,
"It is indeed about to be born."
Lucas Jennings: ???
"Wh-what?!"
Lucas Jennings’ knees practically gave out.
Adam Jennings, beside him, was equally astonished, "Wasn’t it a fake pregnancy?"
So how... can it really be born?
Lucas Jennings was clueless, but it didn’t stop him from wanting to watch the drama unfold.
Scarlett Jennings noticed more people coming out of the house and didn’t want to keep talking in the garden, so she first invited everyone inside.
Old Sir Jennings and Luca Jennings were there, and just as Scarlett Jennings entered, before they had a chance to express concern about her, they saw Lucas Jennings being helped to sit down by the butler, looking as though the sky was falling, urgently asking,
"Scarlett! What on earth did you mean by that?! Didn’t you say it was a fake pregnancy?!"
Why is it now about to be born?!
Lucas Jennings was anxious and overwhelmed, and his face inadvertently showed a hint of blame.
Seeing his attitude, Scarlett Jennings suddenly fell silent.
She stopped speaking.
Adam Jennings, who understood Scarlett Jennings to some degree, seeing her reaction, whispered to his father,
"Dad, your... attitude needs to be better, speak nicely."
Lucas Jennings: ...
Being lectured by his brother was one thing, but now even his son was giving him advice?
He instinctively wanted to scold, but then Scarlett Jennings suddenly turned to Old Sir Jennings and Luca Jennings, saying,
"Grandpa, Dad, I’ll take Jasmine Hamilton upstairs to put down her things first."
Seeing her about to leave, Lucas Jennings instantly became clear-headed with a jolt.
After so many interactions, he was well aware of the temperament of his niece.
She would genuinely not care about him!
How could he still dare to put on any airs as an elder; he forced a smile and lowered his tone,
"Scarlett, Uncle might have been a bit hasty just now, but it wasn’t directed at you. You know my temper, I’m just anxious...
Can you just tell Uncle clearly what you meant by ’it’s about to be born’?"
This meant that when he wanted to control his attitude, he could indeed manage it.
Scarlett Jennings finally decided to pay attention to him, turned, and looked at him,
"Before I left last time, you were indeed in a fake pregnancy state, but now there’s actually a strand of a Fetal Soul in your belly. If left unchecked, once the Fetal Soul matures, it’s quite possible it will indeed be born."
Upon hearing about the Fetal Soul, the Jennings Family immediately became serious.
Lucas Jennings was even holding his belly with a look of horror.
Lucas Jennings instinctively pulled Ismeria Jennings a bit farther away, directly moving closer to his sister’s sofa,
"Sis, sis, you mean, what’s in Uncle’s belly is real?"
Ismeria Jennings looked innocent and confused, "Is it a little brother?"
The word "brother" startled Lucas Jennings, whose chubby face turned a bit pale. Now truly terrified, he almost pleaded as he looked at Scarlett Jennings,
"Scarlett, Scarlett, I’m your real Uncle, you have to save me... How did this thing come about?!"
Scarlett Jennings’ expression remained calm as she asked him,
"I’d like to know too. What did you do recently that attracted such a thing?"
"I, I... don’t know."
