Chapter 4427
“When we have a second child in the future, if it’s a daughter, I might get jealous if you love her more,” Zachary said dotingly. “But even if we have a daughter, you’ll always come first in my heart. I’ll never love our children more than you. Children grow up, and we’ll grow old. Once they’re adults, they’ll have their own lives, their own families, and they’ll leave us. Only you will stay with me until the very end. Serenity, to me, you are the most important. No one can compare.”
Serenity smiled. “I’ll hold you to that. Let’s see if you can keep your promise when we actually have a daughter. Husband, in a few years, if we have a second child and it’s another son, should we try for a third?”
Zachary thought for a moment. “No. Two is enough. If the second isn’t a daughter, we’ll let it go. No fortune-teller is infallible—they’re not gods. There’s no need to keep trying for a third or fourth child just because of some prediction.”
He had seen his aunt bear child after child in hopes of a daughter, only to end up with nine sons. The ordeal had taught him a lesson—he refused to let his beloved wife suffer through multiple pregnancies just for the sake of a girl.
“I don’t want too many children either. One is a little lonely, two is perfect. A son and daughter would be ideal, but if not, we’ll accept it. Your family hasn’t had a daughter for generations—it’s not just us.” Serenity chuckled. “Here I am, just days postpartum, already discussing a second and third child with you. But honestly, I am a little disappointed this one wasn’t a girl.”
“Why can’t we be like Jane and have both a son and daughter?” Zachary gently stroked his son’s cheek. “Look, he’s asleep again.”
