The party to celebrate Ivy's first pregnancy was held at Buckingham Palace. All guests are invited. The party was truly lively and the happy news made Ivy and Theodoric's extended family happy. Moreover, this is the first grandchild, because Annabelle, Theodoric's older sister does not yet have children.
Theodoric's parents' attitude towards Ivy also changed for the better. They really didn't suspect anything of her.
Ivy did feel at ease with all these lies. But Theodoric's cold demeanor remained that way. He did take care of her, provide for her needs during pregnancy, but his attitude as if he didn't want to be touched made Ivy feel hurt.
To Ivy, it didn't matter if Theodoric didn't want to touch her, but that was best when they weren't in close quarters.
