I understood his perspective. Fuller Corporation had developed so well in J City and had also finally stabilized its operations in K City. There was no turning back now, so he could only keep expanding his territories.
“You haven’t had much rest lately.” I felt sorry for Ashton.
The festive season could be very tiring. When he finally had a day of rest, he had to accompany me to travel back and fro between two hospitals in the morning and then rushed to the office to handle some business matters in the afternoon. That man was like a spinning top, constantly working.
Feeling smug, he muttered, “I see that someone is missing her man already. Ahem… Should I cancel the appointment later?”
I rolled my eyes at him. “Stop being so full of yourself. Who misses you? Don’t use me as an excuse if you plan to idle at home instead of working.”
“Hahaha…” Ashton chuckled. I followed suit, but with my face turned the other side, looking out the window.
The sky in K City was typically murky as if it was enveloped with a permanent layer of fog. It gave people an overwhelming dejected feeling.
Professor Zidd said that it would take three months to confirm the possibility of my pregnancy. I couldn’t tell if that’s good or bad news. Anyhow, the treatment process had already commenced.
People always say that the days are long but the years are short. Summer has grown up without us knowing. How long can three months be?
Once these ninety days pass me by and I could still get pregnant, what should my pursuits be?
I was in a daze all the way home.
Since Ashton insisted to walk me to the door, I dragged him inside of the house too.
We could already hear Summer’s voice before entering.
“Xavier, I’ve got lots of allowance. Shall I buy you some candies?”
“Grand Aunt, can Xavier stay here and play with me?”
Seems like Emery and Hunter are here.
Walking into the living room, I caught Emery teasing Summer, “You love Xavier so much, don’t you, Summer? Why don’t you ask your Mommy to deliver you a baby brother?”
Sigh… I approached them while grumbling, “You’re really going all out to persuade me to have a child, aren’t you? I think you should make Professor Zane work harder and give you a number two while you guys are still young.”
As soon as she heard my voice, Summer dashed toward me with a lollipop in her hand. “Mommy!”
Seeing Ashton by my side, she greeted him courteously, “Daddy!”
I picked her up to sit down on the sofa with me. I also took a piece of tissue and wiped off the sugar stains around her lips. “Did you forget that you’ve promised me to only eat lollipops once every two days? Otherwise, too much sugar will lead to cavities.”
Little children could never resist sweets. If I didn’t control her, she wouldn’t know when to stop.
Feeling wronged, Summer pouted her lips. “Grand Aunt gave it to me. She said that kids should enjoy more candies during the festive season.”
Emery chimed in, “It’s no big deal, just one lollipop. Let her enjoy it. You’re going to hinder her development if you continue being a helicopter parent.”
I refuted, “This has got nothing to do with her development. Too much candy is bad for your teeth and skin.”
“Once in a while is all right,” Emery defended herself while Hunter advised her, “That’s enough. Don’t interfere when Scarlett is educating her child. You can do the same when you deal with Xavier in the future.”
Emery shrugged her shoulders. “Okay.”
Then, she pointed at Ashton who was still standing, and asked, “Where did you two go? Mrs. Eriksen mentioned that you left super early in the morning.”
