Chapter 1818 Planning For Children
Knowing that Arielle was worried about her health gave Susanne great satisfaction and made her think that her former desire for Wendy and Vinson to get together was incredibly silly. Just look at how thoughtful Arielle is. Even more so than my son.
“Don’t worry. I’m good. I occasionally get headaches, but after a nap, I’m fine,” Susanne replied as she patted the younger woman’s hand.
Hearing this, Arielle hurriedly suggested, “If that’s the case, I’ll take you to the hospital for a checkup today to see why your head hurts.”
Upon hearing that Arielle wanted to take her to the hospital, Susanne promptly refused, “Nothing happened to me, nor do I have any illness, so why should I go to the hospital? My head only hurts occasionally, and it must be because I didn’t rest well, so there’s no need to go to the hospital and occupy medical resources.”
“We’re merely going for a checkup, Mom. Just treat it as a physical examination. We’ll go together.” Arielle quickly added when she noticed that her mother-in-law still wanted to decline, “Aren’t you still eager to get a grandchild? Let’s go to the hospital together. I’ll do a pre-pregnancy checkup while you get a full-body checkup. Only when you’re healthy can you take care of your future grandchildren. After all, Vinson and I are very busy and have no time to look after the kids, so wouldn’t this heavy responsibility fall onto you?”
Susanne, who did not wish to go to the hospital at first, immediately changed her mind upon hearing the last part of Arielle’s speech. Arielle is right. They’re both very busy and will need me to look after the baby. If I’m not in good health, how can I take good care of the child?
“You’re right. I’ll go to the hospital with you after our meal.” Susanne gave Arielle a serious look as she spoke.
Only after Susanne agreed to her request did Arielle breathe a sigh of relief. She was afraid that the former would stubbornly refuse to go to the hospital as it would be troublesome.
“Sannie, how many children are you planning to have?” Susanne asked her daughter-in-law curiously. The present day isn’t like the old days when every family had several children. If my health hadn’t gone awry when I gave birth to Vinson, he would’ve had several younger siblings. Young people nowadays generally have one child, no matter whether it’s a boy or a girl. Although I respect their decision, I still think that it’s best to have two kids regardless of their gender, as this ensures that the children have a playmate and won’t feel lonely.
As soon as the subject of having children was brought up, Arielle immediately perked up and stretched out three fingers. Susanne widened her eyes in surprise.
“You want to have three kids?”
Arielle nodded at her with the corners of her lips slightly curled. “I adore children, so I want to have several so that when we’re no longer with them, they’ll still have each other and won’t be lonely.”
The knowledge of her daughter-in-law having the same thoughts as her caused Susanne to beam from ear to ear. “From now on, you mustn’t eat food that is harmful to your body. You must give birth to a healthy baby. You can tell me whatever you wish to eat, and I’ll make it for you.”
Although she also came from a wealthy family, she began to learn cooking after marrying Vinson’s father. No matter how busy her husband was, he would always make time to come home and eat with her as he loved her cooking.
This ritual continued up until the accident, and after his father’s passing, Vinson never allowed her back inside the kitchen out of concern that her sadness would be triggered by past memories.
However, for the sake of her grandchildren, she decided to step into the kitchen again.
