Chapter 1579
Hannah said, âYou know, I think youâre right. Iâll have a baby with Steven, but remarriage? Iâll think about that later.â
Cornelia laughed, âSure, you can get remarried anytime you want. But these single, free days are hard to come by.â
Hannah turned her head and stared at Cornelia, âFrom your tone, did you and your man have a fight? But I find it hard to believe, he loves you so much, how could he bear to argue with you?â
Cornelia replied, âEven the best of couples are still two different people. Sometimes teeth bite tongues, so whatâs so strange about couples quarreling?â
Hannah, âIâm curious, what causes you two to argue?â
Cornelia sighed, âItâs all about our childâs future schooling and settling down.â
Hannah chuckled, âHope is barely a year old and you guys are already arguing about where heâll go to school and settle down?âe2
Cornelia, âJeremy is a very systematic man. Heâs planned every step of Hopeâs future. When heâll start school, what he needs to learn by ten, when he can start dating, when he should get married, when he should have kids, and so on.
âBut I believe a childâs life is their own. We, as parents, should provide a good environment for them to live and learn. As for their future development, they should choose it themselves.â
Hannah looked shocked, âIsnât this what they call control freak?â
Cornelia shook her head, âI understand why heâs like this. His parents never cared about him and even did many things to hurt him. He constantly reminds himself not to be like his parents and to be a good father to his child. Heâs just overdoing it because itâs his first time being a father.â
Hannah, âSince you know the reason, donât blame him. Talk to him properly.â
Cornelia nodded, âIâll talk to him later. I wonât be mad at him anymore. Last night, I made him sleep in the guest room, and now I feel guilty.â
Hannah laughed, âYouâve just fed me a mouthful of lovey-dovey.â
They soon arrived at the meeting place. It was a private venue with good location and atmosphere, and more importantly, it was discreet.
Cornelia parked the car and handed it over to the valet, then she and Hannah walked into the hall. They proceeded through a long corridor to reach a beautiful courtyard.
Before they got close, they could hear a few menâs voices.
Zavier boomed, âMarc, youâve quit not only smoking but also drinking. Are you planning on giving up all worldly desires?â
Jeremy replied calmly, âIâve told you that I canât drink while taking care of a child.â
Steven, âMarc, your genes are strong. Look at your son, heâs a mini version of you. No one could doubt heâs your child.â
Jeremy, âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
Steven, âHope, call me godfather.â
As they got closer, Cornelia saw Steven holding Hope. Hope stood on Stevenâs lap, his big beautiful eyes staring at Steven.
Hope wasnât familiar with Steven, but he wasnât shy at all. His eyes were full of curiosity about the world.
âSon, call me godfather.â Steven held little Hope in his arms, and couldnât bear to put him down. He hadnât been fond of kids before, thinking they were a burden. But now, holding this little cutie, staring at his cute face, touching his chubby little hands, Steven suddenly wanted a baby very much.
If he hadnât been so clever a few days ago, Hannah might be pregnant by now, and he could have such a cute baby in ten months. But because he was too smart for his own good, Hannah couldnât-possibly be pregnant, and he couldnât possibly have such a cute baby in ten months.
