Chapter 1096 I Still Prefer a Girl
To be precise, she was the only one who was anxious from beginning to end, while Nicholas was exceptionally calm. However, she also understood that it wasn’t because Nicholas didn’t care about Gregory. After all, if both of them panicked, the situation would be handled properly.
Therefore, Nicholas needed to remain rational in handling emergencies. At the same time, she was also fortunate that he was here today, otherwise, she wouldn’t know what to do. It seemed that she had to have more practice regarding this in the future.
After all, Nicholas couldn’t be by her side all the time, and she couldn’t guarantee that her children would not get sick again in the future. If the child’s illness became serious because of her, she would never be able to forgive herself for the rest of her life. Thinking of this, Tessa felt quite emotional.
“Nicholas, after this baby is born, we won’t have any more children, okay? In the future, we should love the two of them well, and give them all our care.”
She turned to look at Nicholas. The reason behind her words was she was worried that if she had too many children, she couldn’t take care of them well by herself. Two were just enough, and they would not be lonely. Nicholas could roughly guess Tessa’s thoughts in his heart, so he was very moved.
Right now, Tessa didn’t know that she was Gregory’s biological mother, so being able to say such a thing was enough to show that she really regarded him as her own child.
However…
“But what if the baby in your belly is a boy?” Nicholas hugged Tessa and asked.
Tessa was very puzzled. “So what? What’s the difference?”
After speaking, a scene suddenly flashed in her mind. She remembered that Nicholas had told her that he wanted a daughter before. He isn’t praying that this child is a girl, is he?
In fact, he was. Nicholas was indeed hoping that this child was a girl.
After all, he already had a son, and the boy kept messing up his matters. One such son was enough, and he didn’t want another. However, Nicholas would not say this to Tessa, so he said vaguely, “It’s different.”
Originally, he thought he was hiding his thoughts well, but Tessa still saw through him. She burst out laughing and teased, “You’re a grown man! Why are you jealous of your own son?”
When Nicholas realized that his own thoughts were exposed, he no longer covered them up and said frankly, “I don’t want to have another son who will steal my wife away from me, so I prefer the baby to be a girl, preferably as cute and caring as you are. When the time comes, I will spoil her rotten so she can be the happiest little princess.”
While speaking, he had already outlined a cute and tender daughter who was as well-behaved as his wife in his mind. Tessa looked at the man who looked like he would be the happiest if he had a daughter and couldn’t help laughing. But soon, she deliberately put on a stern face and teased, “So, if it’s a boy, will you not love him and pamper him?”
“How is that possible? I will love him the same.” Nicholas heard his wife’s unhappy tone and quickly changed his tune.
Nevertheless, he was still stubborn and insisted, “But I still prefer a girl.”
Amused, Tessa raised her eyebrows and said, “Okay, a daughter is not bad, but when she grows up, a boy will take her away and may bully her. What will you do then?”
Hearing this, Nicholas immediately frowned. When he thought of the possibility that in the future, his daughter, who would be the apple of his eye, would be taken away by a man, he instantly wanted to beat that unknown man up.
“Then don’t let her marry anyone. I’ll support her for the rest of my life.”
In the end, he was still very proud and thought the idea was a good one. In his opinion, there must be no one in this world who spoiled his daughter more than him.
Seeing his expression, Tessa knew what he was thinking and shook her head speechlessly. In fact, she really wanted to say that girls wouldn’t listen to their parents once they grew up. Yet, thinking that Nicholas was only expressing his fatherly love, she couldn’t bear to pour cold water on him.
