Ethan and I haven’t crossed that line yet, so how could I possibly be pregnant? Even if we were married, it wouldn’t happen that fast.

Hannah froze for a moment. “You’re not pregnant?”

She had heard from Tara that Dawn and Ethan were going to get married. And after Ethan called her to come to Northville to take care of Dawn, she automatically assumed Dawn must be expecting. She hadn’t expected such a mix–up.

“Sorry, my bad.”

Hannah laughed softly, a little frustrated. “I should have asked properly. Hope I didn’t upset you.”

Dawn quietly exhaled, relieved. “It’s fine. I’m just happy you came. How could I be upset?”

With the misunderstanding cleared, the two, who hadn’t seen each other in a long time, sat on the couch holding hands. They caught up for a long while, talking about childhood memories, though every story somehow circled back to Dawn and Ethan.

“Oh, I always thought you two were perfect for each other, but back then, you were both so young. It didn’t really mean anything, so I didn’t dare say anything.

“Now seeing you together, I can’t tell you how happy I am.

“And Mr. and Mrs. Jackson–they’re already thinking about your wedding too.”

Dawn hadn’t seen Ethan’s parents in years. Hearing Hannah mention them made her a little nervous. “How are they doing?”

“They’re doing wonderfully,” Hannah said, her eyes twinkling. “Just worried about Ethan’s lifelong happiness. Mrs. Jackson originally wanted to come with me to see you, but Ethan…” She stopped herself.

She corrected, “Ethan said her work was important, so it had to be put off for now.”

Dawn softly said, “I should be the one visiting them anyway.”

“No worries. They’re very easygoing–they won’t hold it against you. Just focus on your work; leave the rest to Ethan.”

Hannah’s eyes curved like crescent moons, and after a pause, she added, “Of course, if you

could nudge him to speed things up and get married, his parents would be overjoyed.”

Hopefully, they’ll get married and quickly have a baby.

They say babies born when parents are in love are the most beautiful. But that’s not a big deal right now.

When Hannah had come, Tara had given her a little “mission.” With her matchmaking skills, the baby might be on the way soon.

After the two ladies chatted and reminisced for a while, Ethan finally came home.

He noticed the lively scene in the living room–an older woman and a younger one chatting happily his eyelid twitched slightly.

Dawn ran over to help him with his coat. “Tired?”

“Not too bad. Had two meetings,” Ethan said, rubbing her hair gently. “Are you upset I didn’t go tonight?”

“There’s nothing to be upset about … ” Dawn’s voice was soft as she walked beside him. “I knew you were busy, but the colleagues told me to invite you, so I just asked.”

Hannah, watching the little couple interact so naturally, secretly snapped two photos with her phone.

They are just too perfect together! Who wouldn’t say they’re a match made in heaven?

She sent them to Tara with a heart–eyed emoji.

“Hey, Hannah.”

Ethan’s greeting almost startled her. She quickly put her phone away and touched her nose. “Hi, Ethan! I was just tidying the fridge. I’m not done yet. You two go ahead and chat!”

With that, she scurried into the kitchen like a sneaky little thief.

Dawn looked at her retreating figure and laughed. “Hannah’s still as adorable as ever.”

“Yeah,

tell her if you want anything to cat–Hannah’s cooking is amazing.”

Talking about food made Dawn’s eyes light up.

She used to love coming over to Ethan’s house for meals, partly because Hannah’s cooking was even better than some five–star restaurants.

She didn’t hold back, chatted a little, and returned to her room in a good mood.

Her phone kept buzzing–messages in the small group chat.

Dawn was surprised; everyone had been busy lately, barely chatting, so it had been a long time since the group had been this lively.

She took off her coat, flopped fully onto the couch, and opened a voice message. Unexpectedly, she was the main topic.

Bianca Fletcher said, “Dawn, did you hear? Austin is apparently getting engaged. That girl’s showing off everywhere, acting like she’s about to stamp ‘Mrs. Osborne‘ on herself.”

David Malone replied, “I know, right? Heard the hotel is already booked.”

Bianca continued, “Austin aside, that girl … She doesn’t look easy to deal with. No wonder she’s marrying into a wealthy family–lucky girl.”

Erin chimed in, “None of them are good people.”

The three of them kept chatting until the quiet Anna suddenly spoke, “Enough, you guys. Can’t you stop worrying about other people’s business?”
