“We had some matters to attend to.” I quickly urged Ashton, “There’s pending business yet to be

resolved in the company, right? You should get going.”

“Yes.” He nodded, exchanged greetings with the Zanes, then off he went.

As soon as he exited the door, Emery asked, “Why is he so busy? Isn’t it still the holiday season?”

“He has to meet some investors from another country. Like what Ashton said, there are no fixed holidays

for a businessman, so he has to go along with their schedule. Please excuse him as his hands are tied

too,” I explained on his behalf.

Ashton had broken an unsaid law by being absent when there are visiting guests at home.

Hunter waved his hand and responded indifferently, “Work is more important.”

Emery, on the other hand, cast a glance at him and then changed the topic, “So, what’s your thought

about what I’ve just said?”

“About what?” I was completely baffled.

“To grant Summer a brother,” Emery said excitedly while grinning from ear to ear. “Frankly speaking,

Summer is too lonely. With Ashton being a workaholic, Fuller Corporation will only grow to become

bigger in the near future. I’m sure he needs someone to take over his businesses. Are you seriously not

going to consider having a baby?”

I was almost rendered speechless. “You can really go on and on about this.”

“Hey, hey, hey, what’s with your expression? I’m thinking for your sake. I don’t usually care so much

about others, and you know that, right?” Emery communicated her intention confidently in a high-pitched

voice.

Summer, who never quite understood our conversations, seemed to get the main point this time.

Wrapping her chubby hands around my neck, she requested coquettishly, “I want a brother, Mommy!”

As soon as Emery heard that, she became all energetic and excited. “Oh, did you hear that? Summer

has spoken. Now, it’s not just me who’s asking for it.”

Hunter and I exchanged glances and laughed. Emery had sure been brainwashing Summer about

having a baby brother, that was why the cheeky girl had it etched in her heart.

Right then, Mrs. Eriksen served us some hot tea. I then took the opportunity and called out to her, “Mrs.

Eriksen, please bring Summer for nap time.”

“All right, Mrs. Fuller.” Mrs. Eriksen gestured to carry Summer. “Come, Summer, it’s time to take a nap.”

“I don’t want to!” Burying her head in my arms, she tightened her grip on my neck, having no intention to

let go at all. “I still want to play with Xavier.”

Ugh… The older the child gets, the harder it is to discipline them, especially when there are others

around.

I suppressed my emotions and put on a stern look while pulling Summer aside. Staring into her eyes, I

said sternly, “Take a nap first. When you wake up, you can continue playing with Xavier, okay?”

Since I was seldom strict with her, the trick worked. She noticed my upset expression and followed Mrs.

Eriksen upstairs obediently.

Right after Summer left, Emery had her own maid take Xavier to the guest room to rest.

They were quite familiar with our house because it was not their first time here.

Silence permeated the living room after the children left. After a while, I told them about Professor Zidd.

Emery was so thrilled that she could not stop clapping her hands. “Really? That means you’re likely

going to have a child this year?” I pressed my lips into a thin line and nodded with a smile.

I’m truly glad to be able to conceive again. I guess this is how I feel right now.

“That’s awesome! You two are finally going to have your own baby. This family is now complete, and I

don’t need to worry about you anymore.” Emery was utterly relieved. The next moment, she slapped

Hunter’s thigh as an idea flashed through her mind. “Since Ashton is so busy with work, why don’t we

accompany Scarlett to the hospital?”
