Chapter 364 Life is Governed by Fate 

We sat in the quiet of the countryside, enjoying the calmness of the moment. 

“Carter, once we find out who’s behind all this, let’s find a place in the mountains. We can go there for weekends and holidays; what do you think? 

“Sure.” 

“Then I can focus on trying to get pregnant. How many kids do you want? Do you prefer boys or girls?” 

Carter was silent for a moment. “Either is fine.” 

I assumed he was just undecided about the gender, so I continued, playing with his fingers. “Honestly, it doesn’t matter to me–boy or girl. The most important thing is raising them well, so they don’t go down the wrong path.” 

“Alright.”“, 

“If it’s a boy, I hope he’s like you. You have such good genes; he’ll definitely be handsome. If it’s a girl, I want her to be like me, and I’ll spoil her like a princess. 

Just imagining that made me feel so happy. 

“Carter, you’re wonderful to me. With kids, you’ll definitely spoil them, right?” 

I wasn’t sure if it was my imagination, but I felt like he was being unusually quiet about this. 

“Carter?” 

I turned to look at him seriously, only to find he was staring at the fireflies, lost in thought. 

He didn’t often space out like this. Noticing my gaze, he turned to look at me. 

“Sorry, Chloe, what did you say just now?” 

I reached out and gently brushed his nose. “What are you thinking about?* 

He pulled me close and said, “Besides thinking about you, who else could I be thinking about? It’s getting late, and we’ve had a busy day. Let’s get some rest.” 

“Alright.” I reached up. “Hug me.” 

He leaned down, scooping me into his arms, letting me wrap my arms around his neck as we slowly made our way back the way we came. 

I rested my head against his chest and said, “Carter, just keep holding me like this forever. When we’re old, we’ll still walk along the beach hand in hand, leaning on our canes.” 

“Okay.” 

“Then you’ll stay with me to watch the sunrise and sunset in different places.”

“Okay.” 

“When we’re older, let me be the first to go.” 

His gaze flickered with a malicious shadow. “Nonsense) 

“When we’re old, let me go first. I’ve already experienced death once: Besides, if you were to go first, I’d be left all alone in this world. How lonely would that be?” 

His voice came from the wind, soft yet firm. “You wont be alone. You’ll have friends, family, and children. Even when I’m gone, they’ll still be there for you.” 

“No, family and friends can’t compare to you. Promise me, don’t die before I do.” 

He laughed softly, almost helplessly. “Silly girl, you’re only 20. Why are you talking about death? You’ll live a long, healthy life. Besides, how can I control death? Life is governed by fate.” 

I knew he was speaking the truth. Even the most powerful people in the world can’t control birth, aging, illness, and death. 

There was a emperor who sought immortality and a way to defy fate. 

A great man like him had failed at the quest. How could an ordinary person like me control it? 

Internally, I selfishly hoped our time together would last forever. 

That we’d live long lives, surrounded by children and grandchildren, growing old together. 

Nicholas and Bill had already gone home. I turned to my mom and said, “Mom, Janice can’t sleep alone tonight. Could she sleep with you?” 

Zoey obviously wanted to sleep with her mom. She looked carefully at her mom’s stomach and asked, “Will it be uncomfortable for you with the pregnancy? Im worried I might move around too much at night.” 

“It’s fine. Having someone with you at night will be safer.” 

Zoey looked at me, grateful. 

Philippa also thanked me for accommodating them. 

What could be more fortunate than finding something you thought you had lost? 

Finally, Carter and I had the stargazing room to ourselves. 

The entire room was made of tempered glass, offering good view. Lying on the round bed, we could see the stars scattered across the sky above us. 

As if we were in the wilderness with our backs against the earth. 

I snuggled into Carter’s arms. That night, we didn’t do anything but hold each other tightly. His soothing voice whispered fairy tales in my ear, and it was simply beautiful. 

Of course, it would have been even better if it weren’t for that annoying phone call.

Just as I was about to drift off to sleep, Carter’s phone buzzed again and again. 

“Who’s that?” 

“Did I wake you?” He glanced at the phone,
