Chapter 1533
"Silvia, what are you doing?" Jayden rushed over from behind and held Silvia into his arms. He did not want her to do anything to hurt herself again. "I've told you many times. I only want you. I don't want any children! Why wouldn't you listen?"
Over the years, Jayden knew how much Silvia yearned for a child. He had tried his best, but to no success. As long as she was by his side, it did not matter if they had a child or not. All he wanted was her. However, Silvia couldn't stop thinking about having a child.
"I'm fine, Jayden. Don't worry." Silvia tried to pretend that nothing had happened. Being her husband for so many years, Jayden could easily read her mind. Moreover, she was not good at disguising herself. "Silvia, calm down and listen to me, okay?"
Silvia asked with a smile, "What do you want to say?"
Jayden released her from his embrace and placed his hands on her shoulders. Lowering his head slightly, he looked her into the eyes. "Look at me, Silvia. Let me tell you again. I'm perfectly fine as long as I have you. It really doesn't matter if we don't have a child."
In fact, it was not the first time he was saying these to Silvia. He did not want to give her pressure, but it only stressed Silvia even more every time Jayden assured her. The more he was showing consideration toward her, the more she blamed herself. More than anything, she wanted to have a child with him and give him an heir.
"Jayden, why don't we get a divorce? After that, you can marry another woman and have your own child." Due to her heightened emotions, she was blurting nonsense. Even she herself was hurt by her own words. As soon as she said that, she regretted it. "No, Jayden, I didn't mean that. I just... I really wish that we could have a child."
Jayden grabbed Silvia's shoulders and pinched her hard, to the point where it was hurting her. However, he did not loosen his grip. "Silvia, I can lead a happy life even without a child. But if I lose you, I will not be able to live for even a minute. Do you understand? Let's not think about having a child anymore, okay?"
"Okay, I'll stop thinking about it. No more thoughts about children." Silvia tried to convince herself to push her thought away. But every time she saw someone else's child, she couldn't help thinking of her childlessness. It was borderline obsessive. If she went on like this, she would probably have a mental breakdown.
Jayden's heart ached for her. He pulled her into his arms, saying, "Silvia... Silvia... Can you tell me, why do you insist on having a child?"
"I've always loved children. So I wish to have one of our own." It was not just because Silvia wanted their own child... More than that, she wished to have a child to carry on Jayden's family's bloodline.
Indeed, one's bloodline was something preserved for generations... Although society was moving towards a modern mindset, the majority of people still wished for children to carry their bloodline...
Jayden's parents had passed away in a car accident years ago, and he was the only child in the family. Silvia couldn't help feeling that if she failed to bear a child for him, she had failed her responsibility as a wife.
Jayden fixed his eyes on her for a long time. Finally, he said slowly, "Do you really want a child so much?"
Silvia nodded, "Yes."
Despite putting in a lot of effort to make sure her body was in a good shape, the opportunity never came. If she was given another chance, she would definitely protect her child well. She would never
let her child slip away from her again.
"Please give me another chance. Trust me, I can do it," she prayed to God.
Jayden clenched his fists and uttered a word, "Okay."
Since Silvia was so obsessed with having a child, he would grant her wish.
Silvia understood that things would not be that simple. Just because Jayden had agreed with her, it didn't mean that she would be blessed with a child. They needed a great stroke of luck.
This time, she really hoped that God would answer her prayers.
After agreeing to Silvia's request, Jayden told Silvia to go back into the house. He walked to the empty courtyard and made a call to Stanley, who was in Madison City. When the phone was connected, Stanley's voice sounded daft as he said, "Master Jayden, what can I help you with?"
After hesitating for a while, Jayden took a deep breath and finally made up his mind. "Stanley, inform the lab and give them the green light for the surrogacy mother to undergo IVF treatments."
Silvia's uterus was not the same as other women's. Before she was injured, it was already very hard for her to get pregnant. Her condition got even worse after her miscarriage a few years ago. Since then, she had never been able to get pregnant again no matter how hard they tried.
Therefore, Jayden decided to try an alternative. His plan was to get a surrogate mother to carry his and Silvia's child. That way, he could give Silvia a child and grant her wish.
Before this, Jayden had already had his sperm and Silvia's ovum cryogenically frozen so that they could be used at any time. However, there was no guarantee that the in-vitro fertilization would be a success. Also, he was unsure if Silvia could accept another woman carrying her child...
Because of too many uncertainties, Jayden decided to keep it from Silvia for the time being. After the child was successfully conceived and was born, he would tell Silvia. By then, it should be easier for her to accept it due to the child's existence.
Jayden had resorted to this method after trying countless approaches which ended up in vain. Having a surrogate mother was now the only option to have a child of their own. Most importantly, he did not want Silvia to ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
risk her life just to give birth to his child.
After hanging up the phone, Jayden clenched his fists and silently muttered in his heart, "Silvia, there is no turning back now. I hope I'm making the right decision."
The sky grew darker.
Secret Garden was still brightly lit, as if it was daytime.
All the members of the Kyle family were finally gathered together, sitting around a big table.
The atmosphere was joyous and cozy.
However, Vanessa was a little nervous. She was so tense that she couldn't even pick up her food properly. She felt as though her spoon was going to break under the pressure of her anxiety.
Julien squeezed her hand under the table, using his eyes to signal her not to worry.
Vanessa did not know what was wrong with herself. The friendlier the Kyle family was, the more frightened she felt. If they were to treat her more indifferently, she would be more at ease.
Everyone was being so nice to her. Hence, she could not allow herself to slip up in front of them, lest she be looked down upon by
them.
