She Got A Better Man

"It's not her fault. I asked her not to tell you. I have a gift for you wanted to surprise you, Elvira quickly explained, not wanting him to misunderstand the secretary. "A gift? What gift?" Zach sat down and took her hand, asking with curiosity.

Elvira picked up the small gift box from the coffee table and hailed it to him. Zach stared at the box for a moment before carefully opening it.

Inside were two pregnancy tests and a pregnancy report. Zach looked at Elvira with confusion, and she cupped her chin with both hands, silently urging him to continue. Zach took the first pregnancy test out and, seeing the two lines, placed it on the table. He picked up the second one, and it also showed two lines.

He laid it down beside the first one and then opened the pregnancy report. It was only when he saw the word "positive" that he finally understood what this was about. Confused, he asked, "Who's pregnant?"

"Don't you see the name on it?" Elvira pointed to the paper, reminding him. The pregnancy report clearly showed Elvira's

name.

Zach stared at the name in disbelief, unable to process what he was seeing. 'Elvira's supposed to have a hard time getting pregnant. Could she be playing a joke on me?' Zach thought to himself.

Noticing Zach's silence, Elvira gently cupped his face and asked seriously, "Darling, aren't you happy that I'm pregnant?"

Zach's pupils constricted in shock, and he asked in disbelief, "W-what are you saying?"

"I'm pregnant. Aren't you happy?" Elvira repeated, her voice calm and patient.

"Darling, you... you're pregnant? Is this really happening?" Zach still couldn't believe it, his face filled with astonishment.

"Yes, I'm really pregnant. I'm not lying to you. I took the tests, and both of them were positive. I even went to Samantha to have her check, and the results say I'm pregnant. I'm really pregnant," Elvira explained the process carefully, hoping to convince Zach that this was real.

Zach wasn't doubting her sincerity, but he knew that getting pregnant was extremely difficult for Elvira, and that was why he was having trouble believing it.

"You're really pregnant?" Zach asked, his voice thick with emotion. Tears welled up in his eyes as he pulled Elvira into a tight embrace, his heart overwhelmed with joy and a bit of sadness.

"Darling, are you happy?" Elvira asked, tugging on his shirt sleeve, eager to hear his response.

"I'm not just happy. Elvira, I'm... I'm... I can't even put this feeling into words. It's so surreal. It's... it's overwhelming," Zach said, still in disbelief, feeling like this must be a dream.

"Next, you'll have to figure out how to explain to your grandmother and mom that I'm pregnant. They still think you're infertile. Now that I'm pregnant, do you think they'll suspect me of cheating?" Elvira tilted her head playfully, a teasing smile on her face. "That's easy. I'll handle it," Zach said, gripping her hand tightly, unwilling to let her worry about something so trivial.

"Zach, Samantha told me everything. Thank you. I must be so lucky to have married you someone so good and responsible." Elvira leaned in and kissed him, her heart touched by his words.

She agreed with Samantha-Having such a good husband made her feel like she could handle anything, even having more

children.

"Since you're pregnant now, I'll tell them the truth. Darling, the hard part starts now," Zach said, his heart aching for the difficulties during her pregnancy she would face.

"I've heard that pregnant women tend to get more emotional, more sensitive. If I end up getting upset and taking it out on you, will you be mad at me and stop talking to me?" Elvira asked wrapping her arms around his neck, a playful yet serious question in her voice. "I will never get mad at you. I will never stop talking to you. I will always love you," Zach said, kissing her deeply.

At the Gilbert mansion, Tracy woke up from her nap and started sighing deeply. Anna noticed the frequent sighs and, concerned, made her a cup of coffee.

She asked, "Mrs. Gilbert, what's wrong? Didn't you already move on from that? Why are you sighing again? This can't be good for your health."

"I just had a dream... I dreamt of a little baby, so chubby and cute. He was playing with me... But Zach can't have children. I feel so sorry about that..." Tracy sighed heavily after speaking.

"With today's advanced technology, infertility can actually be treated. Tell Mr. Gilbert not to lose hope and to see more doctors. Who knows, maybe one day he'll be fine," Anna said, offering what little comfort she could.

When Tracy first learned about Zach's infertility, she was devastated. Of course, she hadn't let Zach see it. Thanks to Anna's encouragement, Tracy had managed to come to terms with it in recent days. But now, after having that dream, all her worries had come rushing back. For an elderly woman, seeing the next generation of the family was a great hope. Now that Tracy's hopes had been shattered, her mood naturally wasn't great.

Anna was genuinely concerned that all this worrying would make Tracy ill, especially since her health had never been strong.

In the afternoon, Elvira and Zach came over. They thought it would be nice to let Tracy know the pregnancy news first, to lift her spirits a little.

When Anna saw them, she was particularly happy. Zach asked, "Anna, where's my grandmother?"

"She's out in the garden with Alice," Anna replied. Then, she hesitated, looking at them both. "Mr. Gilbert, there's something I don't know whether I should tell you or not."

"As long as it's about my grandmother, you need to tell me. No matter what it is," Zach said seriously, his heart tightening with worry. He feared that something had happened to Tracy's health again.

"It's about your infertility. Mrs. Gilbert hasn't shown it in front of you, because she didn't want to put pressure on you both. But when you're not around, she's been sighing a lot. She really cares about it.

"I hope you won't think she's too old-fashioned. At her age, it's normal to feel this way," Anna explained, worried that Zach and Elvira might think Tracy was just being annoying.

Upon hearing that, Zach felt relieved and smiled. "Anna, don't worry. After today, Grandma won't be sighing anymore. I promise she'll be smiling so much that she won't be able to close her mouth."

Elvira couldn't help but smile too. The two of them made their way to the yard to share the good news with Tracy. Anna scratched her head, confused about Zach's words. Oh, well. I think as long as Mr. Gilbert can't have children, Mrs. 10:29 Fri, Dec 13 GTG
