Chapter 639
The sun is always kindest as dawn breaks.
As Isaac left for work after breakfast, Irene was doting on their two sons.
"Irene..."
Sheryl wanted to speak with Irene, but she hesitated after calling out to her.
"What is it, Mom? Just tell me," Irene told her.
Sheryl was actually hesitant because she was concerned about Irene's feelings, and was worried about hurting her self-esteem.
"Well, the wedding will not be so soon, but you need to prepare too."
Irene was still playing with Tommy as she replied, "Isaac said he would handle it, didn't he? I don't have to do anything."
Sherly had no choice but to be direct right then. "But you'd want to be a beautiful bride, don't you? I mean, you can hide your face when you go outside these days, but there’s still a lot of days to come..."
Irene touched her own facial scars right then and she hung her head.
Sheryl then continued, "Look, Isaac might not mind it now, but it's still hideous."
"If he's fickle, he'll get sick of me eventually even if I'm beautiful."
Sheryl tugged at her hand then. "You're right, looks aren't important-but are you going to work or stay at home in the future? It’s fine if it's the latter, but if you want to keep working, it's no good if you keep carrying those scars."
That struck a chord with Irene.
She did not want to give up on her career, and even if they had two children now and they were still young, Sheryl and Mrs. Watson could take care of them.
"I'll go to the hospital tomorrow."
Sheryl nodded. "I'm just doing this for your own good."
"I know,” Irene said-she naturally understood her mother's reasoning.
"Wahl Wah!!!’
The baby was crying on the bed just then and Irene quickly put down Tommy, scooping him up in her arms.
He just soiled his diaper, so Sheryl quickly left to fetch some hot water, while Irene took off the baby's diaper, put it aside, and gently rubbed the baby's rump.
