The Villainess Needs a Hug (Ivy Windsor) novel Chapter 966

Naylor lived downstairs, and both he and Katrina were incredibly busy. Katrina constantly traveled for her legal work, while Naylor flew all over the globe negotiating business deals.

Whenever they couldn't watch their daughter, they had the nanny bring Lily upstairs to her godmother, effectively letting her eat and sleep at the Ludwig household.

Floyd and Denis were intensely protective of their younger sister. The three kids loved each other deeply—they weren't blood-related, but their bond was stronger than blood.

"It's exactly because Lily is so incredibly lovable that I want one of my own," Ivy said, her eyes brimming with hope.

Jamison scoffed, brutally shattering his wife's fantasy. "Heh, what makes you think ours would be lovable? Don't forget how maddening those two little rascals can be."

"All boys are mischievous. Girls are different. Look at Lily—she's smart, sweet, and polite. Those two brats cause chaos all day, but the moment they're around Lily, they quiet right down. Don't you want a sweet little angel like that?"

"No."

"..." Ivy glared at him, pretending to be furious.

But Jamison staged a rare act of "defiance" against his wife. Instead of catering to her mood, he simply reached over, clicked off the lamp, turned his back, and went to sleep.

Ivy was so frustrated by the gesture that she gritted her teeth and viciously pinched his side a few times to vent her anger!

---

To permanently cut off his wife's greedy little fantasy, Jamison stuck to the original plan and went to the hospital first thing the next morning.

Ivy helped the kids get ready for school. After dropping the two boys off at the campus gates, she called Jamison on her way to the office.

"What's up?"

"Are you already at the hospital?"

"Yeah."

Ivy frowned. "Do you really have to do this surgery?"

"Didn't I tell you all this days ago? Not only am I doing it, but I'm documenting the whole process for a medical education video."

"..." Ivy was utterly helpless. After a moment of silence, she refused to give up, pleading one last time. "Can't you just delay it by a few days? Let's just try. At least give me a chance! If I can't get pregnant, then it means God doesn't want it, and I'll drop the whole idea."

"No. I'm getting it done today."

Ivy gritted her teeth in pure frustration, snapping, "Fine, do it then! I've never met a man so aggressively enthusiastic about this kind of surgery!"

Hanging up, Ivy let out a long sigh.

It seemed her sudden whim was completely off the table.

Her dream of having a daughter was officially dead in the water.

That evening, Katrina brought Lily upstairs to crash their dinner.

Who could have predicted that her eldest son, Floyd, would hit back with a stunning observation: "If you want one so badly, just have one. We don't mind having another sister, and it'd give Lily a little sister to play with too."

His younger brother instantly chimed in. "If you think we're an eyesore around the house, my brother and I can go stay at Thad's place for a few days. We'll be far away, and you guys can fully dedicate yourselves to figuring out how to make a little sister."

The moment those words dropped, Katrina shot her best friend a look. Their eyes met, and Ivy's face exploded into an atomic blush.

"You little brats! Why do you know so much? Where are you reading this?"

"Mom, do you know how old we are? If we didn't understand the basics by now, you'd be worried we were intellectually delayed," her younger son, Denis, replied slowly and deliberately.

His incredibly calm and composed demeanor was an exact carbon copy of his father's.

Katrina snickered, her shoulders shaking even harder.

Blushing all the way down to her neck, Ivy quickly hissed a warning. "Not another word! Don't you dare corrupt Lily."

To her surprise, Denis replied with utmost sincerity, "Mom... this is the science of human biology, it's not 'being corrupted.' Lily needs to learn about this soon too, so she'll know how to protect herself."

Ivy's expression instantly changed. She was suddenly terrified her best friend would think her two sons were entirely too mature and posed a threat to Lily—after all, boys and girls were different.

So she immediately scolded him. "You're just a kid, what do you even know? Who are you to teach anyone else?"

Katrina could see Ivy was getting angry and knew exactly why she was reprimanding Denis. She quickly reached out and patted her friend's arm. "Alright, stop lecturing the kids at the dinner table. Besides, Denis isn't wrong. There shouldn't be any shame around these topics, and kids should be educated about them early."
