Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage

Chapter 121 Babe, Don't...

Chapter 121 Babe, Don't...

Adeline cradled the back of Curtis's head and softly nibbled at his chin as she murmured.

"Being passionate... don't you like it?"

"Of course, I do," Curtis let out a pleased chuckle, "it just goes to show that my therapy is working."

Amidst the rasp of their closeness, Adeline asked, "Honey, do you want a child?" Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Curtis's body stiffened suddenly, and his passion dwindled a bit.

He recalled his reaction that day, and he realized it was a classic move indicating he didn't want kids. So, he quickly responded with a smile.

"Absolutely! As long as it's with you, I want it."

That was the truth.

Whether a boy or a girl, as long as it was a child with Adeline, he'd be thrilled.

But the premise was that he and his wife would first enjoy a few more years of being just the two of them.

Adeline got her answer, but a heavy feeling sank in her chest.

The topic of children sat on her heart like a massive stone.

Curtis sensed Adeline's unusual demeanor and gently kissed her earlobe, "Hey babe, why the sudden question? You want a child already?"

"Yeah... Honey, let's have one!" Adeline blurted out, thinking that maybe, as the doctor said, she could conceive naturally!

Yes, while she was still young, they should hurry and have a child!

As the words left her lips, Adeline pushed aside her embarrassment and reached for Curtis's pants.

Curtis's expression changed all of a sudden. Oh no, he hadn't taken his male contraceptives today! And by looking at the situation now, he couldn't take them in advance either.

"Mmm," Curtis grunted as he quickly restrained Adeline's meddling hand, "Babe... not now."

"Why?" Adeline looked up in puzzlement, and her clear eyes focused on Curtis, "Am I not doing well?"

Curtis was aroused and his whole body felt like it was about to explode with heat.

This wasn't about her not doing well! She was indeed incredible!

Suppressing the desire raging in his chest, Curtis muffledly replied, "I had some drinks tonight. If you get pregnant, it's not good for the baby."

Hearing his words, Adeline's heart grew heavier.

It seemed that Curtis was just like her and really loved children.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be so cautious when it came to matters relating to pregnancy.

The two of them fell silent for a while.

However, they had initiated intimacy, and now finding themselves stuck halfway, it left everyone feeling uncomfortable.

"Ahem..." Curtis pulled the covers up a bit and sank his body lower, "Babe, how about I help you?"

"Don't..." Adeline's voice changed when she spoke.

"It's fine, I can help you in other ways. Later, you can help me too."

"Hey, you... shut up!"

...

The next day, Adeline arrived at the school.

Just as she entered her office, she caught wind of a major piece of gossip.

"Did you hear? The homeroom teacher for sixth grade, Class D, is getting a divorce."

Adeline was somewhat surprised, "Why would someone seemingly fine suddenly want a divorce?"

The teacher next to her, who was eager to gossip, whispered, "Word is she can't have kids. They've been married for seven years, tried everything, but still no luck. Her in-laws have been pestering her, and her husband is pushing for a divorce. She's been resisting, so her husband went and found a mistress to have a son with. Heard he found one, had a daughter, then found another, and finally got a son. Now, he's dead set on divorcing Mrs. Rees and making the mistress official for the sake of his precious son."

Adeline was taken aback, "Her husband sounds like such a scumbag. Continue staying with him won't lead to anything good for her anyway."

"Sigh, it's true though! But Mrs. Rees is almost forty, can't have kids, and now she's going through a divorce. Who'd want her in future?"

Adeline didn't chime in.

Another teacher from the side jumped into the gossip as well.

"Sigh, you can't really blame her husband for being a scumbag. He does run a small factory, after all! If he doesn't have someone to give him a son, who's going to inherit the factory in the future? So, if they're pointing fingers, it's Mrs. Rees who can't conceive that should take the blame."

Adeline couldn't help but feel sorry for Mrs. Rees, "So, not being able to have children is a heinous crime? It's not like she chose this herself."

"Sigh, Adeline, you're newly married and still in the honeymoon phase. You don't get it yet. In a marriage, having a child is crucial for the long haul! Love fades within a few years of marriage, so what's left to hold onto?"

"It's the kids, it's the family bond that keeps things together!"

Another teacher chimed in, "For men, it's truly normal for them to have the desire for offspring. I've lost count of how many cases like this I've seen, where not being able to conceive led to divorce."

Adeline's face turned pale. She stood up to pour some water as she tried to avoid the two teachers continuing their gossip.

But the more she tried not to care, the more those words from the two teachers lingered in her mind.

And when she thought about how Curtis also wanted to have a child so badly, her heart tightened again in sadness.

During lunchtime, Edith called her, "I'm at The Fork & Knife near your school, in private room number 6. Come find me!"

Adeline coincidentally needed to discuss the medical examination report with her, so she headed over.

As she stepped into the small private room, Adeline saw her mother, Edith. For a moment, she felt dazed. They didn't seem like a mother-daughter relationship, more like that of enemies.

Before she even had a chance to sit down, Edith snapped at her.

"Hey, you little brat, now that you're with Mr. Riley and have some backing, you've stopped contributing to the household expenses every month, huh?"
