Chapter 3723 - Kathryn congratulated Liberty, saying, "Have you and Mr. Lewis decided to get married? Congratulations! I hope you both enjoy a long life together, and I wish you a daughter soon."
Liberty already had a son, so there wasn't a rush to have another child. In the future, when she became head of the Farrell family, it would be important for her to have a daughter to succeed her.
Liberty smiled, accepting the congratulations, and replied, "It hasn't been easy for Duncan and me to get to this point. Since we're both not getting any younger, we decided to move forward with things. Thank you for your well wishes, Kathryn, but there's no rush to have another child right now." Liberty didn't feel she had the energy for another child. Whether or not she took over the Farrell family, she was already very busy. Her new company was doing well but wasn't fully established yet. Its current stability relied heavily on the influence of her brother-in-law, Zachary, and others.
Being a strong, independent woman, Liberty was determined to reduce her reliance on her brother-in-law and others, aiming to make a name for herself in the business world through her own efforts.
Kathryn offered advice, "Liberty, if you take over the Farrell family, I suggest having a daughter as soon as possible. You and Mr. Lewis aren't getting any younger. Waiting too long might make it harder for you to care for a child, and it could affect your health. Think about your grandmother-she had a child later in life and it weakened her body, which gave my mother the chance to step in."
Kathryn herself was born to an older mother. Her mom, Clarissa, had her at 43 and passed away at 71 when Kathryn was just 28. While some people became grandparents in their 40s, others, like Kathryn's mother, were still having children.
She continued, “And you can't be sure your second child will be a daughter. If it's another son, you might need to try again, which would take even more time."
Liberty replied, "Kathryn, you once said if someone doesn't want a husband, they can just get a sperm donor to have a baby. That's basically IVF. I could use IVF for my second child to make sure I have a daughter."
"Or..." Liberty's eyes sparkled as she quietly added, "We could change the rules so the successor isn't based on gender but on virtue and ability." Kathryn smiled. “Liberty, this is why we get along so well. We often think the same way."
Kathryn also believed that if she ever gained power, she would change outdated traditions, including the
rule about needing a daughter to
inherit. Only those with virtue
ability should lead the Farrell family, and this would prevent women in power from harming their bodies by constantly trying to have a daughter.
She then whispered, "Hospitals don't allow gender selection for IVF, unless you go abroad. Or, we could just change the rules so gender doesn't matter anymore. Still, I think it's better for us women to be in charge, haha." NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Kathryn laughed, and Liberty joined in. Liberty agreed that women made excellent leaders. Having spent three years as a housewife and enduring many challenges, she now preferred to be self-reliant, making her own money and living freely without depending on anyone, even Duncan.
