His cheek gently rubbed against her palm. âDonât say sorry. I couldnât share the pain of giving birth with you.â
If possible, he really wishes he could give birth for her.
Veronicaâs fingertips traced the corner of Masonâs eye. âWhat if I have a second or third child in the future? If you cry like that every time, Iâll feel sorry for you.â
He frowned. âOne is enough.â
If he had to see her go through that kind of pain again, he didnât know if he could handle it.
Veronica felt like she was one of those people who forget the pain once the wound has healed.
During childbirth, the pain was unbearable. She didnât want to go through it again.
But when she woke up and saw her daughter, she felt like it was all worth it.
âLetâs have three. Three children would make a lively home,â Veronica said. The thought of being surrounded by three cute little boys made her feel excited.
She looked forward to that day.
âThree?â Masonâs brow furrowed even more. If he hadnât seen her in pain during childbirth, he would respect her decision.
But now, even if it was just one more child, he was afraid.
âVeronica, letâs not have any more. One daughter is enough. If you really like children, we can adopt as many as you want.â
As he spoke, Veronica could feel his skin trembling under her palm.
Veronica pursed her lips. She knew that Mason was still traumatized by her childbirth experience.
Now that she had suddenly said she wanted two more children, he naturally would be worried and afraid.
She didnât want this to become a psychological shadow for him, so she said, âOkay, I understand. Donât worry.â
She comforted him, after all, having a baby should be taken slowly, and she wanted to have another baby to make their family happier, not to make him worry all the time.
So, letâs think about these things later.
The two of them talked for a long time until she gradually became sleepy.
âI⦠want to sleep a little longer.â
âOkay, you sleep, Iâll watch over you,â he said.
âBut⦠you havenât slept for a long time either. Let the nurse take care of it, and you should rest too,â
she said.
âIâm not tired,â he said.
âButâ¦â
âBesides, Iâll feel more at ease staying by your and the babyâs side. After you wake up, Iâll go to sleep.
So for now, just sleep well,â Mason said.
Veronica had known Mason for so many years, so she naturally knew that sometimes when he made a decision, it was difficult to change.
Especially now that he was still in a tense state.
Although others may not be able to feel it, they had been together for so many years, and she could naturally feel it.
However, Veronica was really exhausted at the moment, so after a while, she fell into a deep sleep again.
Mason looked at his wifeâs sleeping face and gently kissed the palm of her hand.
âYou canât have anything happen, absolutely not! We want to grow old together in peace and safety.â It was like a vow!
