Furthermore, by doing this, the shares could be considered as a gift for the new additions to the clan, the first of their generation. No one in their right mind would object to that.
Norton looked at Lucinda with satisfaction. He turned to Kern and smiled.
“Lucinda is simply exceptional! Nathan is Lucky to have her as his partner.”
Kern smiled as well, though his was one of relief.
“That is true.
Miss Simmons is a very sensible woman. She rushed over to save Mr. Nathan, she truly cares about him.”
The others commented in agreement to this, and the room became lively again.

Lucinda’s pregnancy put everyone in a jovial mood.

Still grinning from ear to ear, Norton asked Kern to fetch some cash and a red envelope. Then, in front of everyone present, he gave it to Lucinda.
“This is for good luck,” he said in earnest as he patted her hand.
“There may be many ups and downs along your way, but I know that you will be just fine, because you’re the blessed one.”
Lucinda accepted the gift without hesitation.
“Thank you. My babies are my source of strength. No matter how difficult life gets, I’ll be sure to turn the tides in my favor!”
Her eyes glimmered with courage and confidence.
Nathan came up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and perched his chin on her shoulder.
“What about me, Grandpa? Don’t I get any gift? I played a major role, you know. I got her pregnant and made you your great-grandbabies.
Norton scowled. He raised his cane and lightly hit Nathan on the shin.
“You’re going to be a father! You can’t be so careless with your life anymore! And remember this, Lucinda is pregnant. You have to take good care of her. In fact, I expect you to dote on her night and day! If I hear that you mistreat her in any way, I won’t spare you from the lashings again!”
“Of course, I’ll dote on her,” Nathan smiled.
“That goes without saying.”
Norton turned to Lucinda again.
“My dear, if this rascal angers you, don’t pull your punches. Teach him a lesson he will never forget! I will always be on your side, so you have nothing to worry about!”
Lucinda felt oddly moved by this.
“Thank you, Grandpa Norton.”
