Chapter 921 More Time Together
Abigail expressed a desire to have another child. What if childbirth wasn't as painful as anticipated?
Despite having experienced significant pain in the past, she believed she was capable of handling any challenges that arose.
Isla moved closer and inquired, "Would you want another child?"
"If our first child is a son, then yes. If it's a daughter, then I'll have to think about it." Abigail articulated her wish for a daughter in line with Sean's preference. She thought, I'm sure a girl with an older brother would be much happier.
"Calvon wants a sister, too!" Isla expressed her thoughts with certainty.
Luna joined the conversation with a smile. "Already thinking of a second child?"
"Isn't the atmosphere lively today? I'm finding it quite enjoyable." Isla observed the two children engaging in the clamor, which she found pretty amusing.
Abigail nodded. "Indeed."
Meanwhile, Sean, Kevin, and Josh were deeply immersed in a popular horror game. Kevin even screamed a few times.
"I'll need more practice." At the sight of his character losing his life again, Josh gave a helpless sigh and looked at Kevin.
"I might not be proficient in this game, but I excel whenever I play at Damon's game," Kevin defended himself.
"In the context of any game, financial resources can solely be exchanged for ostentatious yet valueless items." Damon made a jest.
"Are you telling the truth? I don't believe you," Kevin retorted as he set aside his game console to join Irene, who had recently created her game account. She was still familiarizing herself with the game. At that, Damon generously presented Irene with a set of the Phoenix skin she had designed.
"Was this designed by you? It's beautiful! Do you know how many of this was sold?" Kevin leaned closer to Irene. His gaze was on the screen, but he constantly brought up Damon's name.
The clattering of Damon's keyboard filled the room as he typed. "I heard several million units have been sold." "Impressive! You must be earning quite a substantial income," Kevin commented, gazing at Irene with contentment.
Irene responded in acknowledgment, "Since we're on holiday, forget about work."
He had also created a gaming account.
As such, the morning passed just like that. Yanine and Larry were lucky to avoid sitting together during lunch since it would have led to a fight.
"Hmmph. I'll not offer him food when he visits next time!" Yanine voiced her concerns to Eilane as she nibbled on a chicken leg.
"What did you guys fight about again?" Eilane chuckled.
"He tricked me into consuming a spicy substance." Yanine was willful and pampered, but lucky for her, Larry did not fancy girls like this.
Calvon exhibited politeness and conducted himself in a manner befitting a young gentleman.
Larry was known for his obedience, but he started to become mischievous after spending time with Josh. His lively nature and being the only child in the family made him excessively indulged by the adults.
"Larry's still young. He doesn't know how to be considerate toward girls. Don't argue with him," Lina advised Yanine while peeling shrimp for the younger one.
Now that Yanine was given an out, she remarked, "That's for sure. I have to say this, though. He's way behind Calvon. I want to marry someone like Calvon when I'm older."
"You're still young, but you're thinking of marriage?!" Eliane sighed. Wiping her face, she continued, "Your dad and I are both introverts. Who did you take after?" Laughter resonated throughout the table.
The dinner was held outdoors in the yard, showcasing an outdoor barbecue prepared by a chef.
Subsequently, everyone except Sean and Abigail was wasted.
Josh, slightly intoxicated, carried Luna back to the room.
Sean aided all individuals in entering their vehicles, conveying his sense of relief. "Those who don't drink had a hard time."
"Thanks for your efforts, honey," Abigail said, moving closer to him and linking her arm with his.
They sat on the couch. Sean leaned against Abigail's abdomen to listen to the movements within.
"How is it? Can you hear anything?" She engaged in playful teasing by pinching his ear.
Sean gazed at her. "I can't hear anything. I think we'll have to wait another seven to eight months. We'll go for the check-up tomorrow since your abdomen seems enlarged. I'm just scared childbirth would be a challenge."
Abigail's heart softened as she observed him standing up, prompting her to embrace him. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
She was well aware that Sean had been glued to books on parenting after she fell pregnant. Despite his busy work schedule and the books' mundane content, he still diligently read through them.
It was for her sake that he did so.
"Alright, let's head upstairs to prepare for sleep," Sean stated as he carried her.
Abigail noticed him yawning and empathized. "Don't exert yourself with work. Consider taking a few days off."
"Do I look fatigued?" he asked, smiling.
"Not exactly. I just want you to spend more time with me," she expressed while gently shaking his arm.
The truth was that she could tell Sean was genuinely fatigued. Apart from spending time with her, he had to travel between Capitalis and Pendorf frequently. There were times when he took red-eye flights.
"Sure, but I'll need to wait for the weather to be cooler first." There was a twinge of regret in Sean's voice. "I've undertaken a project that requires my supervision."
"In that case, I'll wait for you to spend winter with me." Abigail hoped that he wouldn't have to be swamped with work.
"Be good," he persuaded her.
As soon as they returned to their room, they went to get a shower. Then, he helped her to dry off and wear her pajamas. At the sight of her full facial features and plump figure, he had a throaty voice. "Honey, what should I do? I really want you."
