There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)

So, Emelia told Nina, "May God bless you to have a baby girl. Otherwise, Alana will be called a cradle snatcher, and it will definitely drive Julian crazy"

Nina sent a series of laughing faces and gloated, "That's not the point. It's all up to the kids. What if I really have a boy and he happens to be in love with Alana? What is he gonna do with it?"

"Or will he interfere and make them break up as his mother did?" Nina said and teased Julian's mother, Heather.

"That's not gonna happen as long as I am here!" said Emelia.

Heather used to terribly dislike her and disdain her, so Emelia swore that nothing like this would happen to her kids again. She's decided that she would stand out and respect her kids no matter who they were gonna date in the future.

She thought she would only express her own opinion even if she and Julian didn't approve of it. But it was all up to the kids. After all, the kids were going to spend the rest of their lives with the partner they chose, not them. So, if Julian wanted to interfere with Alana's relationship, Emelia thought she would talk him out of it.

As for their son Alaric, Emelia didn't think Julian would care too much about it.

While they were chatting, Jean finished the pregnancy test and she did get pregnant!

Arthur was over the moon. He simply carried Jean in his arms and turned around and around, which made Jean dizzy.

"Oh, put me down. I feel dizzy." Jean said and patted him on the shoulder.

Arthur heard it and put her down on the couch very carefully.

Jean sat down comfortably on the couch. Then she raised her eyes but before she realized it, Arthur kissed her on the lips. He kissed her so passionately that she was almost breathless.

Maybe he was just too excited! Arthur kissed her for quite a moment on the couch and Jean found herself out of breath.

"I love you, dear Jean." He held her face up and murmured with his eyes turning red with tears.

"You'll love the baby instead soon." Jean couldn't stand his sentiments and gave him a cold shoulder deliberately.

But Arthur took her hands instantly, stared at her deeply, and swore earnestly, "That's impossible. I'll love you the most in my life though we have a baby."

"Of course, I'll love the baby. But I know he'll grow up and leave us to live his own life sooner or later. You're the one for me all my lifetime." Arthur added as if he was afraid that Jean didn't believe him. "OK, got it. Just let me go now." Jean said and pushed him.

They'd got the plan of having kids after they got married. Actually, Jean didn't rush to become a mother but Arthur was eager to have his own children. Jean felt Arthur was insecure though they had got married. He was afraid that she would abandon him again once she got mad at him.

Probably, he wanted to tie her up to him with the child. Jean just despised it. Why did he think he could get a woman attached to him with a child?

She would never marry him if she didn't think he was worthy of her.

What made it worse was that Arthur even drew her mother to his side to urge her to have babies.

Her mother told her that she was still hale and hearty and she could take care of the children for them. She told Jean to have two kids in a row and it made Jean speechless. To be honest, she didn't want to have more than one kid though the one-child policy was gone in the country now.

Everyone had his own opinion on bearing children. Some liked to have more children for they thought it would be good to have a big family. But for her, she wanted to live a simple and quiet life. If she must bear and give birth to children, she thought only one might do. With the thought in mind, she asked Arthur, who sat beside her and pulled her into his arms, "How many children do you want?"

Arthur said with a bright smile, "I am fine with it. It's your call."

"But it's painful to give birth to a child. Or we can just have this one. OK?"

As a doctor, Arthur knew how painful it was for a woman to carry and give birth to a child. So, he thought of it and put forward the proposal.

"Great minds think alike," said Jean, nodding her head.

"Then, we'll have only one child." Arthur totally agreed with her.

"But, what if your parents or my parents want us to have more?" asked Jean.

Arthur held her tightly and said, "It's only between us. You don't have to care much about what they say."

"I don't think your parents will interfere with it. But I'm not sure about my own parents." said Jean, "My mother urges me to have two children in a row now."

Abigail and Brandon were reasonable. Normally, they wouldn't interfere with them on this matter.

Arthur burst into laughter, "If she talks about it again, I'll tell her clearly that we're going to have only one child and make her perish the thought!"

Jean poked him lightly on the chest, "You can tell her that and she listens to you. She must talk back if I tell her instead."

Arthur said with deep love, "OK. I'll talk with her."

Maisie left Emelia's place soon. She saw from the photos taken by the paparazzi that Ezra had left her apartment.

She didn't give it a damn that they made them the trending topic by saying they had some problem in their marriage. It was a free world. They talked whatever they wanted and she didn't care much about it.

She wasn't a famous actress from the entertainment circle like Nina, and she didn't think it necessary to make it clear on time.

But when she arrived home, she read Ezra's update on Facebook, "Dear friends, have you never fought with your wives or girlfriends?"

"We had a fight only and you made us the hash-tag topic! How can you embarrass me like that? And, you must be accounted for it if I can't pamper my wife and make her smile!"

Ezra didn't deliberately explain that he was fed up with Maisie as they said on the internet, and he didn't emphasize anything was wrong with their marriage, either. He just said it down to earth and made the netizens feel how much he wanted to pamper Maisie and make her smile.

Apparently, he wasn't as superior as they thought in the relationship.

Almost everyone had guessed that he was the dominant side in the marriage. But they found they might have guessed it wrong now.

He even used the word "pamper". He seemed to have done something to upset Maisie.

Ezra's Facebook page was flooded with comments. Some people teased him for being a henpecked husband. Some wished he could pamper Maisie soon and live happily with her forever.

Certainly, some were pretty sure that there was something wrong with their marriage and he was just covering it up by saying that.

One person commented, "My friend knows Ezra. He told me that Ezra doesn't love Maisie at all. He married her only because she has his son."

"And he married Maisie to inherit the properties. Look, his father died and he just reveals his real nature."

Ezra found it annoying and amusing.

He mentioned to that guy, "What's the name of your friend? Tell me his name! I will do live streaming with him and ask him how he can tell I don't love Maisie."

The netizen just chickened out. He never showed up again no matter how Ezra and the other netizens mentioned him.
