Chapter 988
He had it all wrong, thinking her desperate desire for a kid was because of her late grandma He never suspected that she was, in fact, doing it for his own grandma. She always managed to stun him with these little things.
Marcus sais. âComeliaâ
Comelia replied, âI know youâre about to tell me to live for myself, not to strive for fulfilling othersâ wishes. But theyâre not just others. Theyâre my family. They love me, and most importantly, I want a child tooâ
In the end Marcus caved, âIf you want a baby, then letâs have one)
Cornelia flashed him a smile, âLetâs have two, a girl and a boy The girl will be like me, the boy will look like youâ
Marcus replied, âOkâ
Cornelia said. âWhether itâs a boy or a girl, we have to love them equally. We need to be fair parents, no favoritism.â
Marcus replied, âOkâ
Comelia said, âMy grandma already gave us a nickname for our baby last time. We have to think of a formal name for the baby. One child will take your surname, and the other will take mine Do you have any objections?â
Gently stroking her hair, Marcus said, âNot at all. Both kids can take your surname for all I care. Or when they grow up, they can even change their surnames if they want.â
Cornelia said, âThatâs not happening. They must carry our surnames
â
Marcus replied, âRightâ
Cornelia said, âYou better start thinking of a name, for our daughter firstâ
Marcus replied. âOkâ
Cornelia said, âJeremyâ
Marcus replied, âIâm here.â
Cornelia asked, âWill we continue to love each other until weâre old?â
Marcus replied, âOf courseâ
Cornelia said, âBut Iâm scared
Marcus asked. âScared of what?â
With her eyes closed, Cornelia murmured, âIâm scared that youâll one day fall for another girl, divorce me and we wonât grow old together.â
Before, Cornelia didnât mind if he fell for another girl. She always knew that the human heart was fickle, that promises were the least trustworthy, and that so many lovers passionately in love ended up parting ways.
She had long given up any illusions about love But now, it seemed like she was starting to dream again. It seemed like she was really falling for him.
That was why she was scared. She feared that when she gave her heart, his would change. And because she was scared, she dared not give her heart fully
Marcus lay next to her, allowing her to rest her leg on him to get comfortable, then he said, âIn this life and the next, I only want you. Nobody else but you.â
