Just before dawn, Jay could no longer keep his eyes open. He fell into a deep sleep.
When he woke up, the sun was well up.
Angeline was no longer in bed.
Jay went to the living room in his pajamas and saw Zayne and Josie lying on the sofa. Zayne was happily talking to his unborn child in Josie's belly.
"Son, listen to Daddy. You need to eat more so you can grow taller. You’ll have to catch up with Jenson and Robbie when you come out..."
Jay was speechless. "Your son is just an embryo now. He can't hear you."
Zayne said, "I need to start with prenatal education early so that my son can get a move on his development."
Jay looked around, and when he did not see Angeline, he asked Zayne, "Where’s Angeline?"
"I don't know," Zayne said.
Jay's expression immediately turned sour. He had expected Zayne to help him look after Angeline so that he could relax a little, but it seemed that he had wrongly put his trust in him.
Jay retaliated against Zayne. "Don't expect your son to be tall. Don't you know that the child’s physical development is determined by genetics?"
Jay had popped Zayne’s bubble. Zayne straightened u p while looking a little lifeless. He said weakly, "In that case, I’ll have a daughter. Zetty is not very tall. My daughter will surely be taller than her."
