Saturday and Sunday?” We‘ll do as you say.” Herbert nodded. I added, “As for Lucky, she is too young and still needs to be taken care of by her mother. So I want Lucky to continue to live with me. When you miss her, just come and see her. Or if you have time to take her out to play for half a day, you can do that too. What do you think? This was the plan I came up with after thinking about it for the past two days. I thought that this should be the best for the two children. Herbert pondered for a moment, and then said, “At this stage, I agree with you. The children are still young now, so this is the only way. But when the children are a little older, I hope that they can live with me. You can come to see the children at any time, and you can take them out for half a day on weekends.”
Hearing this, I instantly became angry. “Herbert, are you trying to dominate my two children?” Of course, I couldn‘t accept that. Not to mention Lucas, I was the one who brought Lucky up. How could I let her live with Herbert?
“Bella, you might not be able to accept it, but think about it. After you and Klein get married, you will definitely have your own children. At that time, you won‘t be able to treat our children with all your heart and soul. After all, Klein is not their biological father. In the future, they might be estranged as well. Klein isn‘t a saint, and he will definitely dote on his own children more. The complex atmosphere of the family will definitely be detrimental to the growth of the children!”
“Klein won’t be like that.” I said firmly.
Hearing these words, Herbert laughed coldly, “Klein isn’t as good as you think he is. Human nature is selfish.”
Hearing this, I looked at Herbert with disgust. “Herbert, Klein will soon become my husband. Please don’t talk about him like this in front of me!”
My tone was extremely heavy. Herbert withdrew his gaze and said, “Alright, then let‘s not talk about him. However, what I‘m talking about is the reality every family has to face. I believe you should understand even if I didn‘t say much.”
I knew what he said was true. Many children from single families were not healthy. I was also from a single family, so I could understand the hardships better than others.
But I believed in Klein. In the future, even if we had children again, he wouldn’t treat Lucas and Lucky badly. But children would slowly grow up, and in the future, they would encounter certain problems. Lucas had cried and begged me not to marry Klein. This was also the most heart–wrenching part of my life. The next moment, I sneered and asked Herbert, “Herbert, you will get married in the future and have children with another woman, so you are not qualified to say such things to me!” “I won‘t get married in the future.” Herbert said seriously. My heart tightened in an instant.
