Chapter 203 

Getting back to your own circle so you wouldn’t get kicked to the curb and fuss over every little thing. 

Anastasia agreed with Alessia’s decision, saying, “I’ll be waiting for you at AL Jewery” 

“Alright” Alessia said, her energy came back at the thought of returning to work. “I finally get it, a woman can’t go without having some dough.” 

Dana had told Alessia multiple times that she could quit her job and stay at home because they didn’t exactly need her paycheck. 

That was true. They didn’t need her paycheck, but every time Alessia asked Evan for money, Dana would mock her for spending recklessly. The feeling was unbearable Even though Alessia hated being away from her kid, she had to work. 

Anastasia agreed, saying that a woman has to be financially independent, and always has a backup plan so you were not left high and dry. 

Why not take the confidence that money can bring? 

Alessia asked, ‘Anastasia, when are you planning to have kids?” 

Anastasia laughed. “I’ve always had that in mind, but it’s something you’ve got to let nature take its course.” 

“Anastasia, listen to me, when it comes to having kids, do it early or late. If you do it early, you’re still young, and more open to new things. Even if you take a year or two off for pregnancy and childbirth, you can get back to work. If not, do it later when you’re financially stable, and it gives you more confidence.” 

These words came from experience. 

“Thank you, Alessia, I’ll keep that in mind.” Anastasia smiled. 

“I didn’t mean to unload all this negative stuff on you, I let my emotions get the better of me today. Sorry you had to see that,” Alessia said, trying to lighten the mood. “At the end of the day, the kid’s your own. Watching them grow up every day warms your heart. It’s worth whatever difficulty you face.” 

Anastasia smiled. “Alessia, your baby’s really cute, makes me want to have one right away.” 

“Right? I’ve got parenting experience now, if you ever have a kid and need advice, you can always ask me.” 

“Thank you.” 

They chatted for over an hour before Anastasia had to leave, or Herman would worry if he found her missing from home. 

Alessia walked Anastasia out. They laughed and chatted on the way. Downstairs, they saw Dana hanging out with the other people in the community, all holding kids.
