Chapter 681


    "Jeffrey, does it hit the spot?" Serena asked eagerly, nudging a te of pies towards him across the


    table.


    Jeffrey nodded vigorously, "Mom, they''re delicious."


    By now, everyone had gotten used to him addressing them as mom and dad.

    After the meal, Jeffrey and Karen stayed a bit longer to catch a couple of episodes of a TV series


    with the old couple.


    Afraid of dying Jeffrey''s work tomorrow, it was Derek who suggested they go back.


    On the drive home, Karen was dozing off, fighting sleep the entire way.


    Jeffrey was unusually quiet, just focused on driving.


    It wasn''t until they pulled up at the base of their vi that Karen opened her eyes and, peering at his


    profile, she raised an eyebrow, "Huh? Your ex-girlfriend was in your car today."


    Jeffrey''s grip on the steering wheel tightened for a moment, "She was in the back seat."


    "So from now on, only I can sit shotgun, okay?" Karen leaned in, hoping to yfully tease him.


    Jeffrey was taken aback, turning to look at her, "Are you jealous?"


    "To be honest, not really jealous, but it''s definitely ufortable. But I understand, you''ve had your


    fair share of flings in the past and there''s always something to deal with. I knew what I was getting


    into when I agreed to be your girlfriend," she said.


    "Karen, I..." Jeffrey''s lips parted slightly, but the words seemed to get stuck in his throat.


    She raised an eyebrow, "Well?"


    "Nothing, let''s get out," Jeffrey said, parking the car neatly and getting out.


    Karen was surprised by his behavior.


    He wasn''t usually like this, usually all talkative and never shutting up. Today, it seemed like he was


    weighed down with something heavy on his mind.


    Could it be about his ex-girlfriend?


    Karen followed him into the vi, wrapping her coat around herself. She thought he wouldn''t be in


    the mood for intimacy tonight, but no sooner had she taken off her shoes than Jeffrey swept her into


    his arms, spinning her around and pinning her to the bed.


    "Jeffrey, can you be a bit gentler?" she protested.


    "Alright, I''ll be gentle tonight," Jeffrey replied, surprisingly not arguing back and instead leaning in to


    kiss her.


    Karen couldn''t tell what was up with him, but she felt that he was a bit off today.


    He was careful and considerate as they made love.


    But as the fit was a bit tight, Karen still furrowed her brows and clutched his arms tightly.


    "Jeffrey. Jeffrey."


    "Karen, I want to have a child with you," he said, propping himself on his elbow and locking eyes


    with her.


    Karen found herself unable to look away, her face flushed with a deep crimson, "You didn''t wear a


    condom, and I... I didn''t stop you, so why bring it up again."


    "I want to hear you say that you''d have a child with me," he insisted, his gaze unyielding.


    Karen tried to push him away, but his chest was as immovable as a rock, "If you keep this up, I''ll be


    out of breath."


    "Say it. I want to hear it."


    "I will, okay?" she relented.


    The moment her words fell, Jeffrey thrust deeper.


    Karen wanted to recoil, but she was no match for his strength.


    "Say it again."


    "No. Are you trying to kill me?!"


    Jeffrey lowered his head to her ear, his voice deep and husky, "If you don''t say it, I''ll take this week''s


    quota tonight."


    Once a day, that was the rule Karen had set.


    "I''ll say it. Jeffrey, I want to have your child, and I want to marry you."
