Maria and Lexis exchanged looks before the latter dropped the bomb
"I'm Pregnant"
The sound of clattering could be heard. The cutlery in Mrs. Mathias hand dropped to the flow. Maria quickly handed the early woman another spare that was on the table and watched carefully.
"You are what?'' Mr. Mathias who was more calm after hearing the news asked solemnly. But, Mrs. Mathias wasn't as calm and her facial expression easily gave her away.
Maria looked at the older couple in front of her and sighed as she pursed her lips. The table was quiet and even a drop of pin at that moment could have been heard.
" Oh, so that is the big news you wanted to share. News about your pregnancy?'' Mrs. Mathias spoke and looked up at her daughter. Even Maria felt a shiver from her gaze much less the culprit.
