Chapter 1274
How nice it would be if childbirth was simple and effortless. He would like for him and Alice to raise their child without Alice having to go through such a harrowing experience.
If a man could get pregnant, he would be more than willing to bear the pain of pregnancy rather than let Alice suffer.
A housemaid went up to Elisa and whispered something in her ear.
Elisa told the servant something in a hushed voice and sent the maid away. After that, she turned to Alice and told her, “Alice, please don’t hold it against my brother. He’s a little out of it right now, you can see how even my mom is telling him off.”
Alice could not deny that she was rather upset.
She has been married to Clive for years now and the only reason they had pushed off having a child was that Clive was very possessive and wanted her all to himself. To appease him, she had been on the pill the entire time to avoid a pregnancy.
It was to the point where rumors were beginning to surface that she was infertile.
At last, the couple had finally agreed that it was time for a baby.
She was pregnant in no time and was more than ecstatic about the prospect of having a child. Although it was still relatively early, just the fact that there was now a life growing inside her womb, a child who she and Clive could call their own, had brought her great pride. The child was to be the heir to their bloodline.
Her intrinsic maternal love has never felt stronger than the present moment; she regarded the child inside her as more important than her very life.
How could she be expected to abort the child?
Clive had been needlessly harping about taking her to the hospital for an abortion, insisting that they should give up on ever having children and it should just be the two of them forever.
He justified it by saying that he had two brothers and they could bear the responsibility of preserving the bloodline.
Alice was livid.
She initially thought Clive was just rambling, but it turned out that he was serious.
