Chapter 1047

Chapter 1047:

“Looks like you’re packing for a trip?” Susan said, spotting the luggage as she entered, puzzled since Dane hadn’t mentioned any travel plans for Madisyn.

Handing Susan a glass of milk, Madisyn settled next to her. “It’s just a short trip. Don’t worry. As your soon-to-be sister-in-law, I’ll be back before your wedding with Dane.” Madisyn gave Susan a mischievous wink. “Our pact hasn’t slipped my mind.”

Susan was set to marry Dane in two weeks, and long ago, they had promised to be present at each other’s weddings. Madisyn had even promised to be Susan’s bridesmaid.

Considering Susan’s pregnancy, Madisyn added, “Dane has everything under control for the wedding. Just focus on being radiant. Let the others manage the routine tasks at work. Take it easy.”

Madisyn wasn’t the type to dish out reminders often, but this was Susan—her best friend and a mom-to-be. If anyone needed a little extra care, it was her.

As Madisyn spoke, Susan sat there with the glass of milk in hand, smiling at her. Madisyn frowned, her eyebrows knitting together.

“Susan, what’s so funny? Were you even paying attention to what I just said?”

Madisyn couldn’t help but wonder if her friend’s pregnancy had made her a bit scatterbrained. Susan gave a small cough. “I was listening.”

Her cheeks were flushed with a delicate rosiness, and her whole demeanor radiated contentment. “I’m just… happy.”

Susan’s hand drifted instinctively to her belly as she continued, “Ever since I found out this little one is your brother’s, I’ve been so excited for its arrival. I mean, think about it—being with the man I love, having a career I’m proud of, fixing things with my dad… and now my best friend is also my sister-in-law. Honestly, there’s no moment more perfect than this.”

Susan, ever so composed and gentle, wore a serene smile that only seemed to deepen her quiet beauty. Madisyn found herself captivated by her best friend’s glow.

“This is just the beginning. Now that you’re my best friend and my sister-in-law, there’s a whole lot of joy coming your way.”

“I can’t wait.”

Susan downed the last of her milk, then glanced over at Madisyn’s suitcase. “Need a hand? I can help you pack.”

“Sure,” Madisyn said warmly.

The two of them kept up a lively conversation. When Andrew returned home from work, he was greeted by the sight of Madisyn cheerfully waving goodbye to Susan. Taking her hand in his, he asked with a tender smile,

“Sweetheart, did you have a good time with Susan?”

“Yes…”

Madisyn stopped mid-sentence, noticing a peculiar edge in Andrew’s tone.
