The mansion became extremely lively with the arrival of the entire Chua family. Little Jun was delighted to meet his playmates from last year again. He didn't remember the big sister and brother right away but gradually found them familiar. Grandpa Lu was also thrilled to have more children at home.
Reina Chua instructed her two eldest daughters, Marjorie and Linda, to bring many items from the Philippines for Iris. Marjorie, a two-time mother, recognized most of the items as ones for pregnant women.
"You're pregnant?" she asked.
Iris smiled and touched her flat belly. "I am."
"Congratulations! I'm so happy for you and Liwei. Where is he? Is he still at work?"
