Chapter 1170 That’s My Girl
Mason rested his head on Janet’s shoulder, and his tone was full of distress. “Babe, I’m sorry. This is the last thing I’d have to resort to. Even James said it—it’s not the right time for us to be bringing a child into the world.”
As soon as she heard what he said, her body stiffened as she froze slightly.
It turned out that he didn’t hate the idea of having a child, but he was worried about her body…
She moved her fingertips slightly. “I know my body best, so I will make the decision whether to keep the baby or not.”
Mason stood strong. “Babe, listen to me.”
“If it can’t stay strong, it doesn’t deserve to be my child,” Janet parted her lips and said coldly.
This sudden sentence made the man stunned. He raised his head and met the girl’s resolute eyes.
If it couldn’t survive this, it wouldn’t qualify to be her child.
She was giving it and herself a chance.
Mason pursed his lips and met her determined eyes. “Okay. If it can’t make it, it wouldn’t qualify to be my child either.”
“Alright. Stop frowning, then.” Janet touched Mason’s face with one hand and her lower abdomen with the other. “Don’t worry. I won’t let anything happen to it.”
He stared at her smiling eyes dotingly. All of a sudden, he reached out to clasped the back of her head and kissed her passionately.
The both of them had waited far too long for this kiss.
They kissed as if they were both melding into each other.
Afterward, Janet’s small face was pressed against Mason’s chest. She could barely hear what he said above her. “Babe, promise me.”
The familiar voice pulled her thoughts back a little, and she asked lightly, “What is it?”
He hooked her charming chin with one hand. “I hope that what happened that night will never happen again. If you dare to lie to me again, I won’t—”
“What are you trying to say? That you will ignore me or break up with me?”
The man was stunned for a moment from hearing what she said. His eyes were red as he stared at her, then he continued, “If you dare to hide anything from me again, I will really ignore you.”
Janet couldn’t help but let out a chuckle. “Can you really?”
Mason went speechless.
“I promise that I’ll tell you everything in the future. Okay?” She couldn’t bear to tease him any more and dove straight into his arms to please him.
“That’s my girl.” Mason fondly patted the back of her head.
Soon, she closed her eyes and opened her mouth to say, “I’m sleepy.”
With a smile, he patted her on the back and said with his low and soft voice, “Alright, baby. Let’s go to sleep.”
……..
She fell into a deep slumber, and it wasn’t until nighttime that she woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Mason sitting by the bed, staring at her tenderly with his hazel eyes.
Janet suddenly remembered something. “I forgot to give you the second shot.”
Mason hooked the corner of his lips and let out a chuckle. “Herbert already did it.”
“No wonder you are in such good spirits.”
“When have I ever let you worry about me except for this time?” Mason got up and poured her glass of water while speaking righteously.
Well, he wasn’t wrong. Otherwise, she would not have conceived a child even through the use of contraceptives; this man’s vitality was simply inconceivable.
It seemed that she was worried for nothing.
Then, she opened her mouth and said casually, “I’m hungry. I want to eat something.”
“I’ll have someone bring some food here.”
“I want something spicy.”
Hearing this, Mason, who was about to take out his mobile phone, stopped his action. “You’re pregnant, so you can’t eat spicy food.”
Janet snorted and frowned. “But… the baby wants it too…”
Mason had no choice but to order whoever was on the other end of the phone to bring some honey sriracha meatballs.
After hanging up the phone, Mason’s brows rose and he uttered, “Hm. I heard that if a woman likes to eat sour during pregnancy, she will have a boy; if she likes to eat spicy, she will have a girl. I wonder if there’s any truth to this.”
Janet didn’t even think about it and immediately shook her head. “Of course not!”
“Good.”
“Wait.” Janet glared at him. “You don’t want girls?”
“Yeah.”
“You prefer sons to daughters?”
Hearing Janet’s rebuke, Mason couldn’t help but chuckle. He looked at her flat belly and clenched her hands. “Babe, if it’s a boy, there will be one more person in this world who can protect you.”
Janet sat on the bed with her legs crossed and said casually, “I’ll bet you haven’t heard that women are no inferior to men.”
