Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 568

They were done with their game and business talks. Jinn had a run of bad luck with the cards that night; he had burned through most of his cash. He and Xander were still single, and they could not stand it when Heaton and Wilson flaunted their love. So, the two of them decided to leave earlier.

Little Jelly Bean saw a rainbow cake from another table as they exited the Supreme Restaurant. Since his daughter wanted to have some dessert, he suggested they go for an afternoon tea before they headed home.

Heaton ordered a whole table of desserts that the girls loved. It was all on Jinn, anyway.

Verian said teasingly, "Jinn really picked the wrong friends."

Heaton raised his eyebrows. "He's the owner of this restaurant; just make yourself at home."

Little Jelly Bean dug into her strawberry ice cream. Her lips were smudged when she said, "Daddy, since we earned so much money today, can you bring me to the amusement park and buy me fried chicken this weekend?"

Heaton stared at his daughter, dotingly.

Serene looked at Little Jelly Bean and pinched her little face. "You're so adorable."

Little Jelly Bean frowned and said in a serious face, "Auntie Serene, you can also give birth to an adorable baby like me."

Serene immediately blushed.

Verian looked at her daughter and said, "Jelly Bean, what are you talking about?"

"Auntie Serene is pretty, and Uncle Wilson is handsome. My teacher said that if the parents are good looking, their baby will be good looking as well."

Even Wilson felt embarrassed. He coughed into his fist, but he was in a good mood. "You're right, Jelly Bean. Auntie Serene and I will work harder on it."

Little Jelly Bean held her fist up and made a good luck gesture. She said in a naïve tone, "Good luck, Uncle Wilson!"

Heaton rubbed his daughter's head. "You're a little kid, but you surely know a lot, don't you?"

Little Jelly Bean rolled her eyes at him and said proudly, "I'm not a little kid."

Verian wiped the ice cream stains on the corner of the little munchkin's lips. "Sure, sure, you're not a little kid; you're a cutie pie."

They went their separate ways after the afternoon tea.

Wilson hugged Serene from behind as soon as they arrived home.

Serene blushed. "What are you doing?"

"Do you like kids?"

Serene smiled at the mention of kids. She said, "If kids are as adorable and as smart as Little Jelly Bean, of course, I like them."

Wilson's eyes darkened. "But we only started spending some quality time together. If we were to have a baby now…"

Serene turned around and cut him off before he could finish his sentence. She waved frantically. "Wilson Jarret! What are you thinking? We're not married yet; how can we have a baby so soon?"

Wilson stared at her; he hesitated before he asked, "Is that really what you think?"

Was that an excuse because he refused to have a baby?

Serene nodded her head, solemnly. "Furthermore, I don't want to have kids now. Didn't you say that I'm still young? Let's wait for a few more years until we've settled down."

"Alright."

He thought she would misunderstand him and throw a tantrum after she heard that he did not want kids. He never imagined that she would accept it so calmly.

Wilson had a weird feeling, but he was not sure why he would feel that way.

…

They were at the mansion near Shallow Bay.

Verian put the two kids to bed after dinner and walked to the study room.

"When are you coming to bed?"

Heaton closed the file in his hands and looked at the woman walking toward him. "Why are you asking? Are you going to put me to bed?"

Verian thumped her fist lightly against his shoulder. "What are you talking about?"

Heaton grabbed her hands and pulled her onto his lap.
