Clive and his wife discussed the possibility of having a baby. They had been happily married for years and cherished their time together, but they were aware that time was passing. While Clive’s parents did not pressure them to start a family, the Lafayette family had been encouraging them to consider having children.
Each time Clive and Alice visited her family, her father would bring up the topic of babies, and her mother would often call Alice into another room for a chat about it. It seemed the focus was always on children.
Zachary, on the other hand, was indifferent to Clive and Alice’s decisions about starting a family. He did, however, want to have a baby with Serenity. Nana constantly nagged him about wanting a great-granddaughter.
Zachary assured himself that he wouldn’t pressure Serenity into having a daughter; he would love their child no matter the gender. If they had a son, he imagined the boy would be as cute as Sonny. In fact, Zachary believed their child would be even more handsome and charming than Sonny because he felt he had better looks than Hank.
The two CEOs returned home with dreams of fatherhood in their hearts. Serenity was fast asleep, unaware of Zachary’s return. He leaned in to kiss her, but desire overwhelmed him during the kiss, tempting him to take her on another intimate journey.
Serenity thought she was dreaming. The next morning, she woke up staring at the ceiling, caught between dreams and reality. She wondered if she had truly experienced what happened last night or if Zachary had taken advantage of her while she slept.
Turning to Zachary, Serenity pinched his sleeping face and joked, “You must have had your way with me while I was asleep, you naughty wolf!”
Zachary had to go to work that day, but since Mrs. Lane was not around, Serenity found herself…
She got up, got washed, and went downstairs to prepare breakfast for her husband. Halfway down the stairs, she heard the doorbell.
