Jasmine, who just started junior high, has now become a little aunt.
“But why is she so ugly? She looks like a little monkey,” Jasmine said bluntly, feeling that the baby in front of her looked nothing like the cute babies she had seen on TV shows.
Moreover, the skin was still very red and not fair and tender at all.
“She’ll become more and more beautiful in a few days,” Jasper said. She knew that newborn babies all looked like this because they had been soaking in amniotic fluid for too long, but they would look better later on.
“Really?” Jasmine said skeptically.
“Yes, you looked like this when you were born too,” Jasper said, then picked up the little one from their father’s arms. “Wow, she’s so cute. She looks a bit like Veronica!”
“Her eyes look like Mason’s,” William said.
Jasper then carefully looked at the baby’s eyes and found that there was indeed a resemblance to their brother Mason.
Although she and her older brother and Mason were triplets, they looked different because they were fraternal.
If her older brother and dad looked alike, she looked more like her mom.
In her opinion, Mason looked more like their grandparents.
However, their grandfather had passed away, and their grandmother lived in another city and rarely visited. Their mother would take them to see their grandmother once a year.
But their grandmother wouldn’t come to Emerald City.
Later, she curiously asked her elder brother what was going on.
Her brother only said it was a matter of grievances from the previous generation, related to their grandfather. Her father never forgave her grandmother, so he made her promise to never enter
Emerald City for the rest of her life.
As for her grandfather’s death, she actually knew a little bit. about it. It seemed that her grandfather was kicked out of the Reed family by their great-grandfather because he wanted to marry her grandmother.
As a result, her grandmother left her grandfather because of his downfall.
Her grandfather seemed to have passed away not long after.
In the stories she knew, her grandmother seemed like a bad
Woman.
But the grandmother she knew was so kind and gentle.
Her grandmother loved to hear them talk about her father. Every time they talked about him, her grandmother listened with great interest.
She wondered if one day her father would go to see her grandmother.
At this moment, Jason looked at the baby’s eyes, lost in thought.
When Grace came to the reception room, everyone learned that Veronica had woken up, so they went to the next room to see her.
Jasper curiously asked Veronica how painful childbirth was, while Jasmine asked, “Sister-in-law, did
Mason cry in the delivery room? When he came out, his eyes were red, but when I asked him, he said he didn’t cry.”
But she clearly felt that Mason had cried.
With this question, the room suddenly became quiet, and everyone’s eyes turned to Mason.
Mason’s face showed a rare look of embarrassment, with a slight blush on his cheeks.
“Second sister-in-law?” Jasmine stared at Veronica, waiting for her answer.
“Alright, your second sister-in-law just woke up not long ago. She needs to rest now. Let’s go back and let Mason accompany her well!” Grace said.
“But I haven’t…” Jasmine was about to say something, but Jasper had already covered her mouth.
It seems that when she gets home, she needs to have a good talk with her carefree little sister.
After a while, only Veronica, Mason, and the little one who had fallen asleep remained in the ward.
Veronica looked at Mason, who was blushing, and couldn’t help but smile. “Speaking of which, I didn’t expect to see you cry like that.”
“I was just too worried about you…” Mason said.
Because he was worried, and then… scared… scared that something would happen to her, scared that he would lose her.
Just thinking about these things made his body tremble uncontrollably.
So much so that he didn’t even know that his tears could flow so suddenly and unexpectedly.
“I’m sorry for making you cry.” Veronica slowly raised her hand and this time, she finally touched his face.
Although her arm was still sore, it was not as weak as it was in the delivery room.
Her palm was on his cheek, giving off a warm feeling.
His cheek gently rubbed against her palm. “Don’t say sorry. I couldn’t share the pain of giving birth with you.”
If possible, he really wishes he could give birth for her.
Veronica’s fingertips traced the corner of Mason’s eye. “What if I have a second or third child in the future? If you cry like that every time, I’ll feel sorry for you.”
He frowned. “One is enough.”
If he had to see her go through that kind of pain again, he didn’t know if he could handle it.
Veronica felt like she was one of those people who forget the pain once the wound has healed.
During childbirth, the pain was unbearable. She didn’t want to go through it again.
But when she woke up and saw her daughter, she felt like it was all worth it.
“Let’s have three. Three children would make a lively home,” Veronica said. The thought of being surrounded by three cute little boys made her feel excited.
She looked forward to that day.
“Three?” Mason’s brow furrowed even more. If he hadn’t seen her in pain during childbirth, he would respect her decision.
But now, even if it was just one more child, he was afraid.
“Veronica, let’s not have any more. One daughter is enough. If you really like children, we can adopt as many as you want.”
As he spoke, Veronica could feel his skin trembling under her palm.
Veronica pursed her lips. She knew that Mason was still traumatized by her childbirth experience.
Now that she had suddenly said she wanted two more children, he naturally would be worried and afraid.
She didn’t want this to become a psychological shadow for him, so she said, “Okay, I understand. Don’t worry.”
She comforted him, after all, having a baby should be taken slowly, and she wanted to have another baby to make their family happier, not to make him worry all the time.
So, let’s think about these things later.
The two of them talked for a long time until she gradually became sleepy.
“I… want to sleep a little longer.”
“Okay, you sleep, I’ll watch over you,” he said.
“But… you haven’t slept for a long time either. Let the nurse take care of it, and you should rest too,”
she said.
“I’m not tired,” he said.
“But…”
“Besides, I’ll feel more at ease staying by your and the baby’s side. After you wake up, I’ll go to sleep.
So for now, just sleep well,” Mason said.
Veronica had known Mason for so many years, so she naturally knew that sometimes when he made a decision, it was difficult to change.
Especially now that he was still in a tense state.
Although others may not be able to feel it, they had been together for so many years, and she could naturally feel it.
However, Veronica was really exhausted at the moment, so after a while, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Mason looked at his wife’s sleeping face and gently kissed the palm of her hand.
“You can’t have anything happen, absolutely not! We want to grow old together in peace and safety.” It was like a vow!
The passage of time always flies by.
Veronica was discharged smoothly after giving birth, and after two years of postpartum, she returned to school to finish the courses she had not completed.
Jasper and William held their engagement ceremony when he Pearl was three years old.
Originally, according to William and Jasper’s plan, they would get married directly after graduating from college.
But Jason directly opposed it.
The reason for his opposition was that their daughter was still a little young, and also, “If you still love this man after three years, then I will agree to you marrying him without any obstruction.”
These were Jason’s exact words.
“Dad, I’m very sure that he’s the one I want to marry in this lifetime!” Jasper said with absolute certainty.
“Since you’re so sure, what’s wrong with waiting another three years?” Jason smiled and looked at his daughter.
Jasper was a bit speechless by her father’s words. “Why do I have to wait for another three years?”
“Because I’m worried whether my daughter really loves William that much, or if it’s just because he’s been by your side all this time, and there’s no other option around you, so you chose him?” Jason said.
“Dad, I chose William not because there was no one else to choose from!” Jasper argued.
“You’re still too young, just graduated from college, and haven’t seen much of the world yet. So I hope you can give yourself three years. If you’re really sure that William is the one you want to spend the rest of your life with, then spend three more years dating him.”
