Chapter 333: 332 Want to Go to Father and Son? The Sky Has Collapsed (2 Updates)

William Hale rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He didn’t want to call Isaac Shea "brother-in-law" at all, but to think that the two had managed to create a life so quickly, it seemed that calling him brother-in-law was just a matter of time.

He glanced at his wife out of the corner of his eye.

Zoe Payne was sipping her tea, looking as if she knew all along and understood everything.

His cousin sure moved fast.

Was he really about to become an uncle?

"Brock, is it really true?" Brock Hale asked first.

"Yeah, I went to the hospital for a check-up."

Hannah Johnson said, looking at her mother and grandmother.

Both of them were clearly shocked by this sudden piece of news.

After learning that the two were living together, the Old Lady had a private chat with her granddaughter, "Society is more open now, I don’t oppose you two living together, but you must be aware of the proper limits."

A side reminder:

Don’t create a life!

The Old Lady had heard that the Shea Family valued their family reputation highly, and her granddaughter was just living with Isaac Shea; she feared that if she really married into the Shea Family, they might mistreat her.

And if pregnancy was involved, some families might think they have leverage over you and pay you even less mind.

Her family line was dwindling, and the Old Lady also worried about her granddaughter being bullied.

At that time, Hannah had assured her, patting her chest, "Grandma, don’t worry, I’m focusing all my attention on my career right now, I don’t have time for kids."

"Remember your words."

"In my heart, making money is more important."

"..."

It was precisely because of her grandmother’s previous warning that Hannah didn’t dare to tell her family right away.

Now that she planned to keep the child, she had intended to act first and report later, but when she went back to her own home to get her Passport Card, she got caught like a thief.

It was embarrassing to say the least.

"Grandma?" Hannah got up and walked over to the Old Lady, "Are you happy? You’re about to become a great-grandmother."

"Quit your nonsense!"

The Old Lady snorted coldly, "You’ve always been bold since you were young. Were you planning to secretly get married and only tell me when you couldn’t hide your belly anymore?"

"Isn’t it better to announce it after three months?"

"How long have you been pregnant?"

"Over a month."

"You two better think this through; marriage is not child’s play. Don’t settle just because of the child." Yumi Johnson had looked into the Shea Family and thought they seemed quite good, but she was worried that her daughter and Isaac Shea hadn’t known each other for long enough and hadn’t had enough time to adjust to each other.

Hannah glanced at her mother, "Mom, I think what you’re saying makes sense, so I’ll consider it further."

In an instant,

Isaac Shea felt like the sky was falling!

He had hopes for honor through his child, to rise in status in a single step, this couldn’t possibly be...

To think about leaving the child without a father!

Isaac Shea was a teacher, usually very good at managing his expressions, but now he couldn’t control himself at all. His previously held-high tail couldn’t be held up anymore, and his slight change in mood was evident to everyone—so much so that the Old Lady almost burst out laughing.

She hadn’t said she disagreed with their marriage; why did the young man look as if it were the end of the world?

"Isaac, as for Hannah being pregnant, does your family know?" Yumi Johnson inquired.

"Not yet."

"Let’s find a time for both our families to have dinner together. As for the matter of marriage and registration, we’ll talk about it after we meet."

They had to see the Shea Family’s attitude, after all.

There were other things that could be let go, but when it came to something as important as marriage, Yumi Johnson would not just let her daughter do as she pleased.

Isaac Shea nodded, "I understand."

"Then Hannah will stay here tonight, and you go back and discuss it with your parents."

Considering it was already late, all but Isaac Shea decided to stay the night at the Hugh Mansion.

After taking a bath, William only realized that his wife had been lured away by her cousin when he got to the bedroom. The two of them were as close as sisters, whispering in the cocoon of blankets.

"Actually, the idea of marriage scares me," Hannah sighed.

"Yet, you stole your Passport Card."

"It’s my own stuff, I was taking it, not stealing it."

"Teacher Shea seems pretty good. Since you’ve met and been together up to now, do you feel there’s anything unsuitable?" Zoe Payne looked at her with an elbow propped under her chin.

"That’s not the case, she was suitable on all fronts."

But the more perfect and fitting it became, the more unreal it felt to her.

She also didn’t know what his family would think when he told them about it, and what the Shea Family’s attitude would be.

**Shea Family**

When Isaac Shea got home, it was close to midnight. Mrs. and Mr. Shea had long been asleep, and hearing the knocking, Isaac Shea nearly burst with anger.

"Who is it?"

"Dad, it’s me!"

Isaac Shea felt like his lungs were about to explode.

This rascal, not coming home during the day and turning up in the middle of the night like a thief!

Day after day, couldn’t he let his father sleep in peace?

"Dad, I have something important to discuss with you and mom."

"Whatever it is, can wait until tomorrow."

"I can’t wait."

"You better have an emergency!"

Only after getting his parents’ approval did Isaac Shea open the door and go inside. The Sheas were still lying in bed when Isaac Shea looked at his son and said, "Out with it. The Passport Card is gone, what now, you’ve come back to take what?"

"I’m planning to marry Hannah."

"Go to sleep and stop dreaming. You two haven’t been together long enough to talk about marriage."

"She’s pregnant."

"..."

"When do you and mother have time? We should meet with both our families to discuss the wedding."

Mr. and Mrs. Shea, still half-asleep, stood in stunned silence for a long while until Isaac Shea murmured, "I’m going to be a grandfather?"

Mrs. Shea nodded, "Yes."

"Having a son does come in handy, after all."

Isaac Shea: "?!"

"What do we need to prepare next? For the formal proposal, what gifts should we bring?" Isaac Shea lost all semblance of sleepiness, almost leaping out of bed to phone friends and family, asking about what preparations were needed for a formal engagement.

Which respectable family discusses these things with relatives in the dead of night?

Isaac Shea thought that giving money and houses was too vulgar, so he unearthed some of his treasured antiques.

After fussing for ages, he turned to his son, "Isaac, did her family mention anything about you taking her family name?"

The rumor was that the Hugh Family had no men, and Hannah Johnson would marry into her spouse’s family.

Isaac Shea shook his head, "No."

"If they have that requirement, tell Hannah that our family agrees."

"Dad, it seems like you really want to get rid of me."

"Is it that obvious?"

"..."

Having a son who was a tea master, Isaac Shea had long been fed up, eager for him to settle down soon.

All night long, the entire Shea Family was in a frenzy.

When Hannah Johnson woke up, she received a message from Isaac Shea saying:

[Regarding the meeting, I’ve discussed it with my parents, and they are available anytime; we can arrange the time as you see fit.]

Upon reading it, Zoe Payne laughed out loud, "It seems that your future brother-in-law’s family is quite impatient."

Hannah Johnson glared at her lightly.

Brother-in-law?

Even she was starting to poke fun at herself.

**The Hugh Family and the Shea Family agreed to meet formally three days later. Zoe Payne stayed at the Hugh Mansion these days, keeping Hannah Johnson company. Finn Hale, seeing his beloved nephew alone and lonely, couldn’t help teasing, "Where’s your wife? She doesn’t want you again?"

"I heard Hannah’s pregnant?"

"Wyatt told me." William Hale knew that with that big mouth around, this matter couldn’t be kept a secret.

"Congratulations, you’re going to be an uncle."

William Hale nodded, "Congratulations to you, too, your status has risen again."

"..."

"That child, calling me ’Uncle Grandfather,’ should also call you ’Grandpa’.
