Rudy had expected a variety of reactions – perhaps some sadness, envy, or even anger. After all, he had thought his harem members might be upset that Maria was the first to bear his child.
However, what he witnessed was entirely different from his expectations.
Alice, the youngest and most shy of the group, was the first to react. She jumped up from her seat and clapped her hands with glee. "Oh, Rudy, that's wonderful news! Congratulations to you and Maria!" Her eyes sparkled with genuine happiness.
Niti, the nurturing soul, gave Rudy a warm smile. "I'm so happy for both of you, Rudy. This is a blessing."
Angelica, always playful, chimed in, "Looks like our little family is growing. Congratulations, Rudy!"
