Chapter 727

“You feel like getting married as well? Who’s the groom? Felix?”

“Will you give me your blessings, Aunt Sarah? There’s a generation gap between Felix and I. Grandpa

will definitely object. What about you? Do you have an opinion about it?”

In truth, Ysabelle was very much worried about that matter.

“You don’t need to worry about that. With Felix here, he’ll resolve everything. As for me, I naturally

support you. As long as you’re happy, you can be with anyone you like.”

Felix was a trustworthy man. Sarah was truly happy for Ysabelle for having found such a man.

At long last, a smile of relief bloomed on Ysabelle’s face.

“As expected, you’re the best, Aunt Sarah! No matter what I do, you always support me. I love you!”

Sophie, Ysabelle, and Sarah lay on the bed and chatted for a long time. Only when it was past midnight

did they go to sleep.

When William woke up the following morning and spotted Sophie coming out from Ysabelle’s room, his

brows knitted together. I urged them to stay the night here to create an opportunity for them. Why didn’t

they cherish it?

The instant he was alone with Tristan, he couldn’t help asking, “What’s wrong with you, Tristan? Aren’t

you and Sophie going to get married soon? In that case, you two can naturally sleep together. I want to

have a grandchild soon!”

He was only so enthusiastic about the couple’s matters because he hoped that they would have a child

earlier to keep him company.

Ah, I’m reminded of how fun Ysabelle was to play with when she was young! Now, they’re all grown up

and have their own careers. No one can stay at home to keep me company anymore. If Tristan and

Sophie were to give me a grandchild, I could take care of the baby at home with peace of mind. Isn’t

that great?

Tristan was dumbstruck, words eluding him.

Good Lord! Why is he becoming increasingly out of control?

“Dad, we’re not going to have children for the time being, so don’t be all excited there alone.”

This time, William went speechless instead.

Why don’t they want a child when they’re going to get married?

“Listen here, Tristan. If the two of you want kids, have them earlier. I am still healthy now and can help

you both to take care of them. When I’m really bedridden in the future, no one will be able to help you

two!”

“That’s enough, Dad. Sophie is still young, and she’s currently busy with her career. How would she

have the time to have kids?”

William promptly fell silent, saying nothing further.

Indeed, Sophie is exceedingly outstanding, so much so that it makes others envious. However, I’m

really dissatisfied if she doesn’t want kids.

When everyone had breakfast together in the morning, Sarah and Ysabelle looked enervated.

“What did you two do last night? Why are you looking all listless?” William did not know what to say

when he took in their tired looks.

“I’m fine, Grandpa. I’ve just been too busy recently, so I haven’t been having sufficient sleep.”

“I’m fine, too, Dad,” Sarah muttered while having breakfast.

Sophie was the only one who was still energetic upon waking up despite having talked deep into the

night with them both.

Sure enough, people often have boundless energy when a happy event is around the corner.

“Sophie, are you both not planning to have kids for now?” William had restrained himself for a long

time, but in the end, he snapped and put that question to Sophie directly.

Sophie jerked her eyes up and cast a glance at Tristan. Did he say anything? Why are we suddenly on

this subject?

“You don’t need to look at him. This is what I think. Tristan isn’t young anymore, so the two of you

should have kids earlier. That aside, I’m already advanced in years. If you both have a baby now, I can

still help to take care of the baby. But if you’re any later, I’m afraid I might not be capable of helping at

that time.”

Those were his true feelings.

“That’s a matter between us, Dad. You don’t need to meddle in this!” No father-in-law asks their

daughter-in-law such a question. How awkward!

“All right, you all continue eating. I’m going out to exercise.” Conversely, William didn’t find anything

improper about it.

Hah! Tristan simply adores her too much, so he’s always thinking from her perspective in every matter!

I’m his father, so I hope my son will have a child soon. Besides, their relationship will be even more

stable after they have a baby, no? Young people nowadays are too casual about marriage and divorce.

Considering how much he loves her, he’s the one who’ll be grieving if their marriage really reaches

such a stage one day. Isn’t that so? That’s why I wish they’ll have a child earlier.

Sarah and Ysabelle stared at the man’s retreating back before exchanging a glance.

What’s going on here? Why did this issue come up all of a sudden?

“Don’t take that to heart, Sophie. We have the final say on whether we want to have a child. Others

can’t make the decision for us!”

In response, Sophie nodded.

It was indeed a tad embarrassing for her, but it wasn’t too bad since the matter wasn’t something

shameful.

“Do you not want a child yet, Sophie? Oh yes, you’re only twenty years old! You’re just a little younger

than me. Even I don’t want a kid!”

We’re still kids ourselves! How would we know how to take care of a child? It’s best to table this for the

future.

“Truthfully speaking, I only plan to have a child at twenty-eight years old!” Since getting together with

Felix, Ysabelle had also planned out her life.

Sophie shifted her gaze to Tristan. She knew that he would side with her regardless of her decision.

“Such a thing hinges on destiny. Fate determines when we conceive and have kids.”

That was all she could say.

Sarah patted her on the hand.

“All right, don’t worry! He was merely saying that and will forget about it in no time.”

“Thanks.”

Truth be told, the pressure on Sophie was still immense. Why did the subject progress to having a child

when we had just spoken of getting married?

On the drive home, Tristan wrapped a hand around her long and slender fingers while keeping a hand

on the steering wheel when he noticed her spacing out.

“What’s the matter? What are you thinking about? Are you still bothered about the issue of having

kids?” Tristan asked bluntly.

“Yeah, I’m thinking about that. Old Mr. Lombard hopes that we’ll have a child soon, but I think it’s still

too early for that.”

“Yeah, I agree. We’re only planning to get married now and haven’t yet enjoyed our time alone. How

can we possibly have a child at this time? People say that couples can’t be intimate during pregnancy. I

object to a child!”

Sophie was wholly dumbfounded.

Good Lord! That’s what he’s concerned about?

“Tristan!”

“What’s wrong with that? Don’t you know that I’ve always wanted you? I’ve already kept myself in

check for a long time. When we’ve gotten married, I’ll definitely make up for all those lost times!” For

that reason, he wasn’t keen on having a child either.

How could he utter such words with a straight face? This is downright unbelievable!

Sophie’s face flushed bright red. Seeing that, Tristan pulled over by the roadside.

“What’s the matter? Do you doubt my stamina?” At the mere thought of being free to do anything he

pleased after getting married, he couldn’t help growing excited.
