Joseph Thompson pondered all day at the company how to bring up the matter of his and Anna Ainsworth's situation to the elderly family matriarch. After all, it was no trivial matter, and Anna's identity was there for all to see.
However, before he got off work, a call came from the Thompson Manor. Old Madam Sophia Wilson commanded him on the phone, "Come home immediately after you get off work! Not a minute's delay is allowed!"
After dropping the line, Joseph immediately felt an ominous premonition rising in his heart. Could it be that the Old Madam already knew about Anna being pregnant?
It must have been Randy Ziel and Jaylene who told the Old Madam, he was convinced of this. Of course, Randy and Jaylene might have wanted to help him, so they went ahead to gauge the Old Madam's mood.
He sent a short message to Randy from his mobile phone, "How did you and Jaylene explain things to grandmother? She just called and seemed very angry."
