“…” Jensen’s brows furrowed, he was about to say something at this moment, a young girlish voice rang from downstairs calling Rae.
Rae turned and rushed downstairs to have a look, the small girl was waving at her. She waved heartily as well, and praised at the same time, “This kid has quite good eyesight, she can even see me here from such a height.” Then she put her hands around her mouth like a trumpet, shouting, “I’ll come down now!” Saying this, she turned and said to Jensen, “I’m going down to walk with the kid, you can go get busy.”
Jensen suddenly thought of her mumbles during the exhibition, and he replied, “I’ll come with you.”
Rae stunned at first, then she also remembered the mumbles that she said in the morning, and she instantly nodded happily! Jensen changed in some casual clothes and accompanied her outside. While the two were waiting for the elevator, he asked, “How come you’re familiar with that kid?”
Rae told Jensen all about meeting that little girl at the supermarket and she said the fish have names, then she continued, “Then when I went to buy something again, I met that kid once more. That kid actually came up to me first and said to me that she knows the name of the chicken! She said that chickens have no names when they are alive, but when they’re dead they’ll have many names, such as fried chicken, spicy chicken, roasted chicken, pepper chicken, chicken soup, chicken popcorn, chicken nuggets… Isn’t that kid brilliant?! I’m so impressed by her!” The door of the elevator opened and Rae stepped in, she pulled on Jensen arm and shook it, as she said adorably. “So please let me get pregnant faster, alright? When are you going to the church? Can you pray to god, please?!”
Jensen was a Christian, sometimes when he was free on the weekends he would go to church in the morning, and Rae would accompany him there sometimes.
“Alright,” Jensen saw that she was so passionate, and felt uncomfortable inside.
When they reached downstairs, that kid was indeed still waiting for them. After greeting the kid’s mother, Rae and the little girl walked at the front. In fact, the surroundings of this apartment were very convenient, and it was very easy to go anywhere. Once they went downstairs there would be places like malls and convenient stores, but there was not any parks that could allow people to take a walk at. This reminded Rae of that neighbourhood, Recreation Garden, the greenery downstairs was like a park and it was suitable for children to live at. She held the little girl’s tiny soft hand in her hand, thinking that she was really thinking ahead, the most important thing at the moment was supposed to be getting pregnant.
“Oh right, if Miss Jordan has plans to get pregnant, if you don’t mind don’t buy much clothes as I have some. My child grows up so fast and she has a lot of clothes that are given by her relatives, and she grew out of them after wearing for a short while. She wears both boy and girl styles, since it doesn’t really matter for kids. Further, didn’t they say that kids are supposed to wear hand me downs? If you don’t mind, I’ll pack up later for you,” The little girl’s mother said passionately.
“Sure, then thank you for your trouble.” Rae turned back and gave a sweet smile.
Jensen saw that smile and he felt more uncomfortable inside, as he spoke, “I’m going to smoke.”
“Hey!” Rae was instantly annoyed.
“Just one?” Jensen asked.
“Go, go, go.” Although Rae was annoyed, but she thought that he must surely be worried about Zain’s matter, so she let him off for once.
The little girl’s mother walked to her side and stared at her, examining as she asked, “Miss Jordan, sorry for asking this. I see that you want children quite bad, but you and your husband… have you talked about it properly?”
“Why?” Rae did not understand why she would ask like this so suddenly.
“Don’t blame me for being blabbering, but I saw that by the looks of him, he doesn’t seem quite passionate. This has to be discussed properly, these times are not as before, sometimes a child is the conflict between two people.” The girl’s mother said.
Rae nodded thoughtfully, she never would have thought so if the girl’s mother did not mention it, but now once she mentioned she felt that there was an issue. It was true, it seemed that every time she mentioned about having children, Jensen would especially be weird. He was not decisive at all, never saying if he wanted or he did not want it, this was totally unlike his style.
Could it be that he did not want?
But looking at him, he had rather liked Sweetie who was recently born at Ewan’s home. He always hugged her and was unwilling to let go, until Sweetie had screamed her lungs off then he would return her to Ewan.
Rae contemplated and a dark thought of a possibility popped into her awareness…
Could it be that Jensen was impotent?
A television series that she binged watch recently happened to have such a scene. Because the man was impotent, he put the blame on the woman and even divorced the woman without anything left for her, he was truly a douchebag.
But thinking about it…
Rae shook her head, she would not think of it anymore, she felt that this thing would not happen upon him!
