Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Let’s Have Our Own Baby
"Together." He walked Edie to the dining table and pulled a chair out for her. He has always been like this towards Edie, a caring and loving husband.
This time, Edie didn’t say anything. She picked up the noodle with her fork and fed it to Stuart. As he ate, his mouth curved into a smile, she could not help wondering, "What are you laughing at?"
"If I knew him fighting over food with me would lead to you feeding me, he can have all my food from now on." fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Really? Good, good! I like that!" Cecil said with excitement on his face.
Hearing his words, Edie immediately gave him a death stare, "Eat your food, and you still have to control your everyday calorie intake!"
"I’m not happy!" Cecil frowned as if he was a deflated balloon and continued to eat his spaghetti.
Stuart laughed as he saw the scene, "You can’t spoil him."
Edie’s heart was moved. She took the opportunity and said, "Stuart, let’s... have our own baby. I really wanted to have our own child,"
Hearing her words, the smile on Stuart’s face froze, he looked at Edie in surprise then refused, "We can talk about this matter later, giving birth is too painful, I don’t want you to go through it. I can’t bear to see you suffer,"
"But... it will still happen someday, and we can’t just have a baby, right?"
"No." Stuart refused without hesitation.
Edie felt anxious, and she had a subtle feeling that Stuart’s attitude was not only due to her pain but also for some other reasons. Since Stuart didn’t seem to want to tell her, she didn’t know how to ask.
She couldn’t hold back, "You really don’t want a child? I want to bear a child for you!"
I want to bear a child for you...
Those words hit his heart.
"Stuart, you’re 28, don’t you want a child?" Although she was still young, Stuart was not anymore.
Stuart suddenly embraced Edie tightly and said, "Once I thought that you might give birth to a child like Cecil, I didn’t want a baby anymore."
"What... what does it have anything to do with me? You obviously wanted to have Edie to yourself, and you blame it on me, I’m not taking the blame! No!" Having heard of their conversation, Cecil said without evening looking at them. He didn’t forget to rebut even with a mouthful of food in his mouth.
Hearing what Cecil had just said, Edie couldn’t help laughing. She pulled her distance away from Stuart a bit and asked as his face turned livid, "Was what he said true?"
Stuart’s eyes became cold, "I want to pack that kiddy up and deliver him home."
"You’re getting angry because I saw through your mind! Be a man, act like a big brother!" Cecil continued to infuriate him.
"Edie, take your time, I’ll take this kid back to his room." Stuart squinted his eyes dangerously.
The little bud immediately sensed danger, he went around the table with his plate in his hand and hid behind Edie, "Edie! Protect me, Stuart is taking revenge on me!"
Edie chuckled while separating the two of them and said to Stuart, "How old are you? Bickering with a child, sit down, our problem isn’t solved yet."
"What problem?" Stuart asked as if he didn’t know the answer.
Edie glared at him, "What do you think? The child problem of course, what? You don’t want me to bear a child for you?"
Her words had a magic power, and it moved Stuart’s heart. But Stuart still resisted the temptation and didn’t agree, instead, he thought of an excuse, "Weren’t you worried that our marriage would affect your career? You have to think clearly if you really want to have a child, then our relationship must be made public."
His words startled Edie for a while, then she clenched her jaw and said, "Then we will publish our relationship."
Stuart was all flustered, "You want a child this badly?"
He knew how much Edie loved her job, and she even had fights with him over it at the beginning. She had chosen not to publish their relationship because she cherished her job and didn’t want to give up easily. But now she is willing to publish their relationship for having a child, does this mean that acting is no longer the most important thing in her heart?
Edie was a little embarrassed, so she avoided Stuart’s eyes, "Actually getting married is pretty normal, everyone will get married someday, many actresses still continued acting after getting married. Although some may say that publishing your marriage might affect your career, at the end of the day, an actor’s job is acting, and if you act well, people will still like you."
Stuart gazed at her with flame in his eyes, "Really?"
Edie flustered at his gaze, so she clenched her jaw and said at one go, "And... I want to bear a child for you. I don’t know why, even though you treat me really well, sometimes I still feel as if you’re hiding many things away from me. It felt like I still haven’t walked into your world yet. Well, it’s normal because we haven’t known each other long enough yet. I still wish that we can be more and more intimate and that you can trust me more because we’re a family."
Her words made Stuart feel an upsurge of emotion, and he couldn’t resist pulling her into his arms. Finally, Stuart said impotently, "Can... can we just delay it for a little longer?"
"Within one year?" Edie poked one of her fingers out.
"Two years," Stuart said in a definite tone.
"No, one year!" Edie said, chuckling, "you have to listen to me at home."
Stuart had no choice but to agree, so he surrendered, "Fine, we’ll make it one year then. I hope it’s a girl like you."
Stuart prayed inside, and please let it be a girl!
"What if it’s a boy?" Edie asked curiously.
