Chapter 1576
“No, of course not!” Stefan immediately covered Renee’s lips. “Shush… Don’t say such things. If our baby hears that, he or she may hate me, and that would be unfair for me.”
“What? The baby is just a small cell that can’t even be seen at this point, of course it can’t hear us.” Amused, Renee moved his hand away, feeling relieved at his joy. Of course she had been worried – she was blind, and Stefan was busy gaining a firm foothold in Hunt Enterprise. Besides, they had Adie and Abby. Even if Margaret, Leia, and the others were around, it would still be quite exhausting. If they had another child now, their life would be more chaotic.
“I’m serious, darling. I can get rid of it if you think it’s not the right time for us to have another child.” Leaning into Stefan’s arms, Renee said sadly, “We can have another child in the future; I don’t want to see our lives get too chaotic, and I don’t want to see you stressed.” It was already tough taking care of a blind person, and if that person was pregnant, it would be even more troublesome.
“Why do you think this child will make our lives busy?” Hugging Renee, Stefan sounded gentle and patient as he said, “Don’t you think this child’s arrival will give us the hope to move forward? I wanted to give up on my responsibilities before this, but I feel more motivated now. I found my reason to fight!”
“What? It’s just stress…” A long sigh escaped Renee, and she
murmured sympathetically, “Well, you like to shoulder everything on your own even though you can’t.”
“Silly, your husband can do that. Don’t worry, I can handle any amount of stress.
At most, we’ll just have to hire a few more servants. I’m rich, so it doesn’t matter anyway.” Stefan tried to console Renee. He felt that most problems could be solved with money. With another child in the picture, they might just have a few more tasks to do, and that could be settled if he hired more helpers.
“It’s not that easy to hire servants sometimes,” Renee muttered. Tess’ incident warned her that outsiders were unreliable regardless of their morals and principles. If she wanted to give birth to the child, she and Stefan had to do a lot of things on their own… She felt a little worried when she recalled the challenging task of raising Adie and Abby in the past, but she would conquer all difficulties to give birth to that child since Stefan wanted to have it.
“But…” Anxiety overwhelmed Stefan when he recalled his conversation with Jovan that night, and he tightened his grip around Renee’s hand. “I hope that you’ll always take my side no matter what happens. I hope that I’ll always be your first choice.”
His words made Renee frown, and as an observant and sensitive person, she quickly noted the exhaustion and heaviness in his tone. She figured he must have encountered some trouble. “Is there something troubling you? Do you want to talk about it?” Renee asked directly. After going through so many things together, she had realized how important communication was for the both of them.
