Chapter 746
Rolling her eyes at him, Ariah shushed, "Keep your voice down. She just fell asleep."
Smiling lovingly, Jimmy put the things in his hands down gently and tiptoed to his wife and daughter.
He felt very much in love as he looked at his daughter''s pinkish and puffy face.
Standing beside him, Ariah nced at Jimmy as he sat by the bed quietly with a hint of fatigue in
his casual posture. There was unconceble tenderness in his eyes when he looked at them.
Her heart pounded a little faster by the scene and she whispered, "Are you tired?"

While she was in the postpartum confinement, Jimmy was busy working and taking care of them.
She was genuinely touched to have a man who treated her so tenderly in her life.
Lifting the quilt and lying down behind her, Jimmy held the twodies in his arms and closed his
eyes. "I''m fine."
Ariah turned to him and said, "Sleep for a while. I''ll put water in the bathtub for you so that you can
take a bathter."
"It can wait." Jimmy hugged her tight. "Why did you sigh just now?"
Pouting, Ariah muttered, "I thought I''d have a son first..."
"You wanted a boy?"
"Boy or girl, it''s the same, but I wish our daughter can have an elder brother," Ariah spoke even
more softly as her daughter was lying in her arms while Jimmy''s beating heart echoed into her ears.
"But we have a girl first."
Surprised, Jimmy slowly opened his eyes and stared at her. "You want a second child?"
"You don''t?"
Jimmyughed, "Did you forget how you cursed me in thebor room that day? You said that you
don''t want to do it again."
Embarrassed, Ariah huffed, "It was so painful at that time, the curses just came out off the top of my
head. You can''t take them seriously."
Silently, Jimmy wrapped his arm around her neck and fidgeted her earlobe yfully.
After a long while, he gushed, "That''s because You''ve forgotten the pain already."
Sensing something was off, Ariah nced at him. "Are you saying you don''t want a second child?"
"Don''t you think one is enough?"
"Yes, but I''m afraid that she''ll be lonely." Ariah''s childhood past shed across her mind. It was also
the reason why she wanted to give her daughter a sibling.
Lowering his head to her cheek, Jimmy puffed his hot breath on her cheek and kissed her slowly as
if he was ying with her. It tickled Ariah and she warned, giggling, "Stop it."
Jimmy chuckled. He then twisted his arms and pulled her into his embrace. However, it was quite a
big movement that startled their little princess, and she started crying.
Ariah quickly pushed Jimmy away and hugged her daughter.
"What''s wrong?"
"She''s hungry."
The one- month celebration Jimmy held for his daughter was not as grand as Stanley''s. It was a
simple party where he invited his family and friends to gather around and have some wine.
Sharon had brought over her son to the party. It had only been a month since theyst saw each
other, but the child had grown up and looked even more handsome than before.
After the party, Jimmy returned to his parents'' ce with his wife and daughter.
"Stay the night," E suggested. She was not as harsh as she used to be, and she would
asionally smile at Ariah. ttered, Ariah said, "Let''s see what''s Jimmy''s n for today."
"Jimmy and his father went to the study."
Taking her granddaughter from Ariah, E sat on the sofa and yed with the baby. After a while,
she suddenly asked, "Are you nning to have a second child?"
Ariah replied without discerning the meaning behind E''s question, "I had a cesarean section, so I
can''t be pregnant for the next two to three years. Besides, we''ll put all my attention on her for now."
With a smile, E nodded. "Okay. Give her a baby brother two yearster then."
Immediately, Ariah understood what E meant. She wanted a grandson.
Irritated, Ariah assented, "What if it''s also a girl?"
ncing at her, E retorted, "When you''re pregnant, you''ll know if it''s a boy or a girl..."
"So what if it''s a girl? You want me to abort it?" Ariah glowered in disbelief, "Mom, don''t you think
you''re a little biased?"
Upon hearing this, E grimaced in annoyance. "Biased? How am I biased? Now that I have a
granddaughter, why can''t I ask for a grandson
next?"
Pouting, Ariah took her daughter from E''s arms, deciding not to continue this argument with E.
Ariah knew that E was disappointed when she gave birth to a daughter.
But never did she expect that E would ask her to confirm the child''s gender when she was
pregnant with a second child.
It was so hurtful that she couldn''t ept it.
"Jimmy and I aren''t young anymore. When the baby is two or three years old, we will be older, and
by then we may not want a second child because we are not fit to have one because of our health.
"What do you say?"
E was so agitated that she shouted, "How old can you and Jimmy be anyway that you said you''re
not fit to have a baby? Are you unwilling or unable to have a baby!"
Looking straight at E''s eyes, Ariah rebutted, "Mom, it''s up to me whether I want a second child or
not."
"You..."
Suddenly, the wrath of fury was burning inside E. She was not biased against girls, but a big and
prominent family like theirs would wish to have a boy so that he could inherit their family business.
That was why she wanted Ariah to give the Hudson Family a grandson.
However, she did not expect Ariah to tell her so bluntly that she would not give birth in the future. It
was as if she was pping her in the face figuratively.
Annoyed, E blurted impulsively, "I told you this because you don''t have a son! I don''t care how
many babies you have. Just give us a boy!"
These words were like a knife stabbing at Ariah''s heart. She smirked coldly, "Will you ask Jimmy to
divorce me if I don''t have a son?"
Upon hearing Ariah''s provocation, the hot-tempered E mmed the table and snapped, "If you
don''t have a son, you don''t have the right to be my daughter-inw!"
Her remark made Ariah tremble furiously.
At this moment, footsteps sounded on the stairs, followed by Jimmy''s voice, "What''s going on? I
heard your voices upstairs."
When he went straight to the living room, Ariah happened to look up at him, revealing the reddened
eyes on her pale face. Her eyes were filled with tears and sorrow, but there was a hint of
stubbornness and resentment on her expression.
Jimmy frowned. "What''s wrong?"
