You can add the adverb 果然 (guǒrán) to add the sense that what you're about to say is entirely expected. It's kind of like starting a sentence with "just as we thought" or "just as we expected," but it's just one word in Chinese. It's kind of like the opposite of [竟然](./竟然.md) or [居然](https://resources.allsetlearning.com/chinese/grammar/%E5%B1%85%E7%84%B6).
