So, Emelia told Nina, "May God bless you to have a baby girl. Otherwise, Alana will be called a cradle snatcher, and it will definitely drive Julian crazy"
Nina sent a series of laughing faces and gloated, "That's not the point. It's all up to the kids. What if I really have a boy and he happens to be in love with Alana? What is he gonna do with it?"
"Or will he interfere and make them break up as his mother did?" Nina said and teased Julian's mother, Heather.
"That's not gonna happen as long as I am here!" said Emelia.
Heather used to terribly dislike her and disdain her, so Emelia swore that nothing like this would happen to her kids again. She's decided that she would stand out and respect her kids no matter who they were gonna date in the future.
She thought she would only express her own opinion even if she and Julian didn't approve of it. But it was all up to the kids. After all, the kids were going to spend the rest of their lives with the partner they chose, not them.
So, if Julian wanted to interfere with Alana's relationship, Emelia thought she would talk him out of it.
As for their son Alaric, Emelia didn't think Julian would care too much about it.
While they were chatting, Jean finished the pregnancy test and she did get pregnant!
Arthur was over the moon. He simply carried Jean in his arms and turned around and around, which made Jean dizzy.
"Oh, put me down. I feel dizzy." Jean said and patted him on the shoulder.
Arthur heard it and put her down on the couch very carefully.
Jean sat down comfortably on the couch. Then she raised her eyes but before she realized it, Arthur kissed her on the lips. He kissed her so passionately that she was almost breathless.
Maybe he was just too excited! Arthur kissed her for quite a moment on the couch and Jean found herself out of breath.
"I love you, dear Jean." He held her face up and murmured with his eyes turning red with tears.
"You'll love the baby instead soon." Jean couldn't stand his sentiments and gave him a cold shoulder deliberately.
But Arthur took her hands instantly, stared at her deeply, and swore earnestly, "That's impossible. I'll love you the most in my life though we have a baby."
"Of course, I'll love the baby. But I know he'll grow up and leave us to live his own life sooner or later. You're the one for me all my lifetime." Arthur added as if he was afraid that Jean didn't believe him.
"OK, got it. Just let me go now." Jean said and pushed him.
They'd got the plan of having kids after they got married. Actually, Jean didn't rush to become a mother but Arthur was eager to have his own children. Jean felt Arthur was insecure though they had got married. He was afraid that she would abandon him again once she got mad at him.
Probably, he wanted to tie her up to him with the child. Jean just despised it. Why did he think he could get a woman attached to him with a child?
She would never marry him if she didn't think he was worthy of her.
What made it worse was that Arthur even drew her mother to his side to urge her to have babies.
Her mother told her that she was still hale and hearty and she could take care of the children for them. She told Jean to have two kids in a row and it made Jean speechless. To be honest, she didn't want to have more than one kid though the one-child policy was gone in the country now.
Everyone had his own opinion on bearing children. Some liked to have more children for they thought it would be good to have a big family. But for her, she wanted to live a simple and quiet life. If she must bear and give birth to children, she thought only one might do.
With the thought in mind, she asked Arthur, who sat beside her and pulled her into his arms, "How many children do you want?"
Arthur said with a bright smile, "I am fine with it. It's your call."
