Andre got back to the bedroom and noticed Mia on the couch with her book upside down. He gently pointed out, “Babe, you’re holding the book upside down.”
Mia glanced down, and yep, she was reading a book upside down.
She quickly flipped the book right side up.
She scanned the pages awkwardly, though she wasn't really reading.
Andre wandered around the room, searching for a while until he found a suitable vase.
He planned to use it for the roses.
Mia put down her book to help her hubby; after all, she was the one with the XX chromosomes.
Girls generally had a knack for aesthetics, and Mia's flower-arranging skills were clearly superior to her husband's.
Andre just stood aside, watching his wife's nimble hands as they trimmed the bouquet. "Did you hear our conversation in the living room just now?"
Mia pouted and nodded cutely.
"Honey, are we really gonna have a baby?"
If they were to have a baby, it would inevitably bring up the issues between them.
However, to her surprise, while Andre argued with her in public, he actually defended her in private.
Andre reached out and patted his wife's head, "Whether we have a baby or not is up to you. Leo was right. Getting married has already made you the center of attention. If you have a baby, the public scrutiny will drown you."
Mia finished arranging the flowers and leaned against her husband.
In Andre's eyes, she was like a clingy kitten, making him want to hold her, kiss her, lift her face, and kiss her again.
"Actually, I'm not opposed to having a baby." Mia admitted. She wasn't afraid of the gossip.
What she feared was that the relationship with her husband was not yet stable enough. If they rashly had a child and their views clashed in the future, the child would be affected.
Although she was smitten with him every day, they had been married for less than a hundred days.
This period of time was not enough to truly understand a person.
Did he have an ex?
Was his private life a mess?
Did he have premarital health checks?
She had all sorts of questions.
Her concerns were valid.
If she wanted to have a child, she needed to know the man.
If he truly loved her, then she would bear him a child. Not like now, a moment of passion made her feel like she wanted a child.
Though she was young, her decision was mature.
Her concession meant she was willing to have a future with her husband.
Her words piqued Andre's curiosity, "What are your conditions?"
Mia bit her lip lightly, her small hand groping around her husband's waist.
"Honey, let's start dating."
Andre fell silent.
Mia lifted her face excitedly, "I've never experienced dating because I married you directly. I want to have a sweet romance with you, and when the time is right, I'll have a baby for you, okay?"
