Chapter 1325
Luckily, Comelia was all geared up for this. No matter who popped the question, she had her answers ready. “The
Duran family is huge, both in terms of members and business. With so many of you guys backing me up, do you
really think I’d worry about not being able to look after my kid?”
Having been with the Duran family for quite some time, Comelia had gotten the hang of them. They were big on
reputation, so she did her best to make them feel valued.
Hearing her say this, everyone was pleased as punch and slowly. People stopped bombarding her with questions.
This gave her time to help Grandpa Augustine sort out his Christmas presents, of which he
got a ton every year.
Even Grandpa Augustine himself had no clue where most of these presents were from, with a bunch of them just
piling up in the storeroom, some even never opened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis year, Cornelia scored some presents too. She didn’t have many friends, but the ones she had were tight–knit.
Zack and Abigail, as always, were heading back home for Christmas. Their presents to Cornelia were all local
specialties, particularly food – heaps of ham and smoked meat, which were a must–have in every household. Upon
receiving the food, Comelia had it cooked up straight away for a feast.
Meanwhile, the gifts from Hannah and Rosie were on the pricier side – there were beauty products, high–end
skincare items, baby stuff, and even clothes that the baby wouldn’t fit into until they were five
Looking at these presents, Cornelia didn’t forget to video call her friends in their group chat, “You guys have sent
clothes for ages one through five. Are you planning on my baby never wearing anything new?”
Hannah laughed, “Nelly, you probably don’t know this, but Rosie can’t resist children’s clothes. I’ve tried to tell her
to cut back a little, but she wouldn’t listen. She almost cleaned out the entire store.”
Rosie chimed in, “I’d never been to a children’s clothing store before. I didn’t know the clothes there were so
adorable, and I was totally drawn in that day. Since you’re the only one among us with a child, we sent you all the
children’s clothes.”
Comelia joked, “You should have a baby with your husband soon.”
Rosie replied, “I’d love to have a baby, but my husband doesn’t want to.”
Hannah guessed, “Maybe he thinks you guys are still young and wants to enjoy a few more years of just the two of
you, so he’s not in a rush to have a baby.”
Rosie responded, “That’s not it.”
Hannah asked, “Then what do you think it is?”
Rosie revealed, “Once, I accidentally found him watching videos about children online. He clearly loves kids, but he
doesn’t want to have one with me. There must be some hidden reason behind this.”
Comelia usually kept mum about other people’s relationship issues, but she knew a thing or two about Rosie and
Lucas, “Don’t overthink it. Everyone knows how much Lucas loves and spoils you. Don’t let your imagination run
wild.”

overthinking.”
Rosie said, “A few days ago, I was so excited after buying clothes for Nelly’s baby and really wanted a child of my
own. That night, I had sex with Lucas. He was really into it and took the lead. But when I told him I hoped to get
pregnant this time, he just upped and left halfway through.”
Hannah said, “He bailed halfway through? That’s pretty hardcore, Lucas.”
Comelia said, “He’s definitely hardcore!”
Talking about this seemed to dampen Rosie’s spirits, “He always says I’m still a child that I need someone to look
after me. He just treats me like a child.”
