Chapter 2 I Want A Baby
William stayed out all night. And I didn’t sleep all night.
I was not worried about where he was going. Of course, he was at the woman’s, with her and their child.
I got off work in the evening and saw William standing in front of my company.
“Don’t be mad.”
When he saw me, William immediately came to me.
“We’re going back to Mom and Dad’s for dinner today. Be nice to them, okay?”
I frowned, should I tell them?
Their son had a mistress outside, and she was pregnant.
But they’d always wanted grandchildren. They were probably ecstatic to hear this news.
We arrived at the Cooper residence. Helen and Tyshawn were already waiting for us.
As soon as I walked in the door, Helen rushed over to see me.
I understood what she meant and shook my head. “Not pregnant yet.”
Helen walked back into the living room in disappointment. We were in an awkward situation.
Halfway through the meal, we talked about the news of moms protecting their daughters.
“Moms protect their kids. That’s instinct,” I whispered.
Helen immediately said, “Yes, it’s kind of instinctive for a woman to have children and be a mother.”
Seeing that I didn’t say anything, Tyshawn heaved his fork down.
“Audrey, I shouldn’t have said this. But isn’t it time for you guys to have a baby?
“When you grow older, it’s hard for you to be pregnant.”
I squeezed out a smile. “Tyshawn, William said he doesn’t want kids.”
William’s face turned dark when he heard this. He swallowed the food in his mouth hard.
Helen tried to alleviate the awkward situation. “Audrey, forget about William. Let’s talk about you. Do you want to see a doctor and have a checkup?”
I thought, ‘Helen, there’s no need for me to see a doctor. William already has a child.
‘Just not in my belly.‘

Chapter 2 Want A Baby
The words were on my lips, but I didn’t know how to say them.
After a short time of silence, I suddenly broke into a grin.
“Mom, I can have a baby.”
Helen stopped looking at me, and her eyes flicked away.
“It’s always necessary for us to have babies. If I can’t, won’t I be useless?”
William took a bite of food. “Mom, could we stop this conversation?”
Helen’s face darkened. “Am I wrong? Did I say something improper?”
She became more and more agitated. “Your father and I are old. We just want to have grandchildren. Are we wrong?”
I pressed my nails into my palms hard. “Helen, don’t be mad. We are going to have a baby.”
I then looked back at William.
