Chapter 747


    With her daughter in her arms, Ariah turned her face away and held back her tears before turning


    around again. "Nothing. It''s gettingte, are we still going back tonight?"


    She did not tell him about the fierce dispute she had with E.


    Yet, Jimmy walked up to her, stared at her, and hissed, "What happened?"


    Avoiding his gaze, Ariah bit her lips and lowered her head quietly.


    Jimmy then turned to his mother, who looked furious as well with a grimacing frown.


    "Can someone tell me what happened?" Jimmy raised an eyebrow.


    Getting no response from either of them, he nodded with a squint. "Fine."


    Then, he turned around and gestured at Hazel. "You were downstairs, so you must know what


    happened. Talk."


    Peeking at E''s furious frown, Hazel shook her head timidly. "I was in the kitchen, so I didn''t know


    what happened in the living room."

    Jimmy smirked. "You''ve been working with us for years. How far can the kitchen be from the living


    room that you can''t hear anything they said? What else can you do around here?"


    His words sounded awfully harsh despite the smile on his face.


    This made Hazel feeling uneasy and nervous.


    "Stop pestering her!" E stood up. "You can just ask me! Hazel, you can go now."


    With a hum, Hazel quickly left.


    Taking a deep breath, E snorted, "I was just talking about having a second child and asked Ariah


    to try for a boy. I didn''t know how I offended her but she started getting irritated and chided me for


    being biased, and even said that she''s not going to have a second child because of her age."


    Jimmy walked up to Ariah and looked her in the eye. "Is that so?"


    Ariah nodded lightly.


    Unexpectedly, Jimmy sneered, "I don''t think so. What else did she say to you?"


    This made Ariah stunned. He really understood her the best as he could see straight to the core of


    the problem.


    Knowing that she would not get mad so easily., he suspected that E must have said something


    unpleasant that infuriated her to the point of


    crying.


    She rarely cried.


    So, it showed that E''s remark must be really harsh to make her so furious.


    "Jimmy Hudson!" E pounded her chest indignantly. She was his mother, but he treated her like


    she was an evil mother-inw to his wife.


    Sitting down beside E, Jimmy looked askance at her and jabbed, "Did you say something like


    you''re gonna make me divorce her if she doesn''t have a son?"


    E gasped in bewilderment.


    "It''s incredible how I can guess it correctly, right?" Jimmy cast a sideways nce.


    Actually, E felt a little regretful now as she blurted those words on the spur of the moment. She


    was also a woman, so of course, she understood how hard it was to have a baby.


    However, both of them were equally stubborn and hotheaded. When their worlds collided due to


    different opinions, her wrath came out of nowhere.


    "How can you me Ariah for giving birth to a daughter?" Jimmy remained a casual look. "You are


    a highly educated person. Don''t you know that the gender of the baby depends on the


    chromosomes from the male side?"


    E red at Jimmy. "Are you lecturing me?"


    Leaning back on the soft couch with his legs crossed, Jimmy grinned. "I''m telling you that I''ll only


    have one daughter and no more."


    E and Ariah turned to him, astounded.


    He was hoodwinking E deliberately, wasn''t he?


    "Don''t say that. I want to have more grandchildren, that''s all. Ariah, I''m sorry for spurting nonsense


    at you."


    Hearing E''s apology, Ariah bowed out wisely.


    "Don''t be, Mom. I was rude to you."


    E smiled at Ariah''s sensibility. "It''s gettingte now. Go home, hurry. Your father and I will visit


    your baby some other time."


    After the unpleasant argument earlier, Ariah didn''t want to spend the night here either, so she


    quickly uttered, "Okay. Rest early. We''ll see ourselves out."


    E nodded.


    Then, Ariah looked at Jimmy.


    Strangely, he remained sitting on the sofa in his casual posture. Ariah called out to him again,


    "Jimmy, let''s go."


    "Rx." Jimmy had a faint smile on his face. "I haven''t finished done yet."


    Ariah was startled. What else did he want to say?


    Even E was skeptical.


    Sitting up and straightening his legs, Jimmy looked at E and announced, "Mom, I''m serious about


    not having a second child. I got the snip when Ariah was doing her confinement."


    The living room was eerily silent.


    E was stunned.


    So was Ariah.


    After what seemed like forever, E thumped the table and stood up, her hands trembling violently.


    "W-What did you say?"


    "Do you want me to repeat myself?"


    "You''re a fool! Why don''t you discuss with us before you did it?" E growled at the top of her lungs.


    "No way! I''ll ask a doctor to reverse the surgery for you..."


    Before E could finish, Jimmy''s expression gloomed. "You don''t have to. This is my business."


    E opened her mouth to say something, but Jimmy stood up, interjecting her, "Mom, just admit that


    you''re biased. Can you please get rid of that thinking? What''s good about boys anyway? They''re so


    naughty and troublesome. Girls are the best. Look, did my little girl snort as we argue? No, right?


    She is sleeping like there''s no tomorrow."


    With that, Jimmy pulled the shocked Ariah out of


    the house.


    Enraged, E shouted behind him, "You are the only son in our family. If you don''t have a boy..."


    "My daughter carries my blood too!" Sighing, Jimmy put his arms on E''s shoulder and huffed,


    "Mom, do we need a boy to inherit the throne or a vast family fortune?"


    With a dull look on her face, E was dumbfounded.


    ncing at his mother, he knew that his message was sessfully conveyed.


    Curling his lips, he teased with a gentler expression, "For me, girls and boys are the same. If you


    really want a boy, you can have one with Dad."


    "You d*mn child! Shut it!"


    Regaining herposure, E sighed heavily as she red at him. "Yes, defend your wife all you


    want. My singlements earn me an earful. Hurry and go now. Out of sight, out of mind."


    With that, Jimmy left with Ariah.


    After seeing them off, E sat on the sofa in a daze for a long while before heaving a heavy sigh.


    In the car.


    Jimmy was driving while Ariah was sitting in the front passenger seat. The baby was sleeping in her


    carrier in the back seat.


    From time to time, Ariah looked sideways at Jimmy. He looked like a carefully crafted masterpiece


    by God. His handsome face was prominent under the illumination of the roadmps, highlighting his


    protruding facial feature and sharp jawline.


    Biting her red lips, Ariah nced at him with tenderness and adoration in her eyes.


    Finally, Jimmy noticed her gaze and teased with a bashful smile on his face, "You look like you''re


    going to pounce on me and eat me up."
