Lizetta had just stepped out of the bathroom and immediately noticed the lingering, soft smile on Remington's face. Curious, she asked him,
"What are you thinking about? You're practically glowing."
Remington gently rested his hand on Lizetta's shoulder, his gaze tracing her exquisite features with deep affection. A small smile played on his lips.
"Darling, when Joy gets a little older, how about we have a sweet little daddy's girl?"
His voice was thick with anticipation and adoration.
Lizetta raised an eyebrow, a spark of amusement in her eyes. "Weren't you just saying a few days ago how your heart broke for me, and you couldn't bear the thought of me suffering through another nine months of pregnancy?"
Her tone held a mix of playful teasing and genuine confusion, finding his sudden change of heart both funny and endearing.
The way she elegantly arched her brow felt like a perfect, intimate snapshot of their daily life—simple yet deeply comforting.
Even these brief, lighthearted exchanges filled Remington with a profound sense of satisfaction and joy.
He had only thought of it because seeing that soft, adorable little girl in the hallway, and then looking at Lizetta's bright, stunning face, made him realize that a daughter of theirs would undoubtedly be just as gorgeous.
Remembering how sweet and delicate Lizetta had been as a child made him nostalgic, sparking the sudden desire for a daughter.
But hearing Lizetta's words, his mind instantly flashed back to the day she gave birth to Joy.
She had been hemorrhaging uncontrollably. The doctors had told him it was critical—she had almost died on the operating table.
The memory instantly extinguished any lingering desire for another child.
He quickly backpedaled.
"I can't bear to see you go through that again. Never mind. Let's not have any more. One child is more than enough."
If he ever felt desperate for a daughter, he figured he could just buy Joy some cute little dresses while he was still too young to understand.

Does evil really triumph always above the good in this novel ? How comes Stella's evilness has no end? Does the author believes that by giving justice and importance to bad people like Stella will make this novel interesring?
