Chapter 1638 To Or Not To Have A Second Child
Zayden widened his eyes and tried to reason with Joy. Evan could not help but burst into laughter. “All right. You can sleep with me tonight.”
Nicole rubbed his head and said, “You sound just like your daddy!”
“Me?” Davin’s loud voice suddenly caught everyone’s attention.
He walked toward Evan and greeted him. Just when he was about to bend down to carry Zayden, Zayden took a step back and clung onto Evan’s thigh.
“Hey, why are you avoiding me? Have you forgotten that I’m your daddy?”
“Why would you want to carry me since you don’t like baby boys?”
“What are you talking about? What do you mean I don’t like baby boys? You’re my only son. Of course I love you!”
Zayden pointed at Joy and said, “You like baby girls. I heard your conversation with Mommy that day. You all wanted another baby girl.”
Davin froze for a moment. “Don’t you want an obedient and adorable little sister?”
“No! I want a baby brother!”
“Davin, are you planning on having another child with Sheila?” Sophia was pleased to see the family grow.
Davin pulled Sophia aside and explained, “We only said that to agitate him because he was throwing a tantrum the other day. It was just a threat.”
“Do you think it’s appropriate to threaten a child like this? Why don’t you and Sheila try to get another child?”
“Mom, I can’t do this if Sheila disagrees with the idea, can I? Besides, Sheila is not young anymore. What if something bad happens during the pregnancy?”
Davin continued, “Sally’s pregnant, right? You can count on her to grow the Seet family. And there’s also Juan! So please don’t put the pressure on me anymore.”
Sophia took a glance at him. “Sheila is not that old. I’m sure she can still give birth if she wants to.”
“If that’s your wish, go ahead and persuade her. I’m willing to give it a shot if she’s keen.”
Sophia stared at him from the corner of her eye. “Let me think about it. I have to respect Sheila’s decision too.”
“That’s right, Mom. Look around you; you have so many grandchildren, and soon, you’ll have great-grandchildren too. You should just let nature take its course and enjoy your life.”
“Are you saying that I’m being a little too busybody?” A line formed between Sophia’s brows.
“Oh, no, no, no. What I meant was, you should enjoy life and the company of your children and grandchildren at your age!”
Sophia sighed. “I guess you’re right. Once Sally delivers the baby, your dad and I should not meddle in all your affairs anymore. We should spend the rest of our day taking care of the children…”
After a short pause, Sophia shook her head. “Nope. I can’t just ignore Juan. It’s time for him to get married anyway…”
Davin let out a sigh. Give yourself a break, Mom!
Suddenly, Juan asked, “What would you like to eat for dinner, Uncle Davin?”
Davin paused for a moment and wondered, “All this while I just ate whatever you all serve, and all of a sudden, you ask for my preference? Have I done something right to deserve this kind of treatment? Let me think about it…”
Davin thought for a while and started telling Juan what he had in mind.
“Hold on!” Juan stopped him. “I think you should tell the chef yourself, Uncle Davin. I can’t remember all the names you mentioned. The chef might need an extra pair of hands, so please help!”
