An hour later, things had quietened down and everything seemed peaceful.
However, it was not long before Nathan and Penny's voices filled the silence in the room again.
Penny whispered, “Hubby, I've been wanting another child, but I'm not sure if I'll get pregnant this time.”
Previously, Penny did have a second pregnancy.
However, she had a miscarriage due to an accident.
As a result, it negatively impacted her physical and mental health.
Now that she had finally recovered from the trauma and felt better again, she started to hope for another baby.
She wanted to bear a son for Nathan to carry his bloodline.
Nathan hugged his wife and softly comforted her, “We'll let nature run its course. If you don’t get pregnant this time, we can always try again. If you do, we'll make sure to bring it to this world.”
In response, Penny nodded but said nothing else.
After some time had passed, she could not help but mutter, “Hubby, I heard that an angel would enter the mother's womb in every pregnancy. If you have a miscarriage, the angel will leave too. Where do you think the angel in my tummy went after I had a miscarriage the last time?”
While Leah was a loyal Buddhist, Benson was a Christian.
Influenced by her parent's beliefs, Penny also believed in reincarnation.
She had suffered a lot of emotional damage when she had her miscarriage, and it had been haunting her since.
When Nathan heard what she said, he knew that she had not completely let go of the past.
After a short pause, he replied, “I believe the angel would still grow up blissfully in another family even though he didn't become our child.”
Listening to his words, Penny tightened her grip around her husband. “Yes, I think so too. The angel probably went to another family and someone else had given birth to him. I'm sure he is having a good life.”
Nathan chuckled. “You know, I realized that without my company, you tend to overthink. At this rate, you might go crazy without me.”
Penny could not help but giggle too. “Well, I wish you could stay by my side all day and every day.”
“That isn't impossible.”
Nathan then explained, “Cross Group is currently on the right path, so you can gradually start to delegate work to others. After all, it doesn't matter as long as you can control the company's overall direction. I also plan to bring all of you over to Brimmopolis. That way, we can balance both our work and family lives. What are your thoughts on it?”
