Ben pulled Tilly’s hand away and didn’t care about the wound she had caused him. “It doesn’t hurt,” he said.
Tilly sniffled and said, “How could it not hurt? Don’t spoil me like this.”
Ben laughed and pinched Tilly’s face gently. “You’re my wife. If I don’t spoil you, who will?”
Tilly softened and threw herself into Ben’s arms, snuggling up to him.
“Baby, forgive me?” Ben asked.
Tilly made a soft sound in her nose as she rubbed against Ben. “Are you going to give me a baby then?”
Ben didn’t answer with words but showed her with actions what he wanted to do for her.
This made Tilly laugh out loud almost causing Ben to lose his breath. She couldn’t help laughing even more after that because of how happy it made her feel.
Then Tilly suddenly regretted wanting a child. She didn’t want one anymore at all.
She imagined how beautiful their child would be just by thinking about it, but forgot what they would have to go through before that happened.
In the past whenever they were intimate together, Tilly was always delicate and never wanted any strain or effort put upon herself.
Only occasionally did Ben get the chance to fully enjoy himself while most times he had no choice but to accommodate Tilly’s needs instead.
Today Tilly realized that even when Ben enjoyed himself fully during those rare moments together, it was still restrained by his love for her, which left her without much energy afterwards.
Tilly nestled in Bens arms crying softly as tears streamed down from both eyes.
“Ben, I think you’re bullying me.” Tilly said weakly.
Ben kissed Tilly’s cheek lightly before asking “Am I?”
Tilly grumbled, “Anyway, you’re always bullying me.”
Ben chuckled lowly, saying, “Starting tomorrow, come exercise with me. You have such little stamina. I worry about you” .
At first, Tilly really wanted to refuse, but then thought better of being so spoiled all the time. She gathered up some courage, and buried herself deeper into Bens embrace, saying, “I’ll try my best.”
Bem kissed Tilly’s forehead gently before saying,”Go sleep now or else I’ll bully you again.”
Upon hearing this, Tilly immediately became timid and obediently closed her eyes, falling asleep soon after.
Ben looked down at her sleeping face and smiled.
He had been too careful with her, treating her like a child and only thinking about spoiling her without considering her own thoughts.
Luckily, Tilly was not one to keep things inside. She would speak up if she had something on her mind.
Otherwise, this awkwardness could last for who knew how long. If that happened, not only would Tilly feel uncomfortable but he would also feel uneasy.
However, when Ben learned that Eden was going to be a father himself, he had to admit that he was envious – very envious indeed.
Especially since Eden always seemed to have a strong desire for competition in strange ways. Ben could imagine what kind of baby-crazy person Eden would become once his child was born.
To avoid being influenced by Eden’s craziness over babies, Ben thought that Tilly’s proposal was definitely worth considering – although becoming a mother required careful planning.

In the next room over…
Eden spent the whole night in excitement and couldn’t believe he was really going to be a dad!
Minnie had already fallen asleep so he didn’t dare make any loud noises or touch her too much for fear of waking her up.
But his excitement couldn’t be contained anymore!
Although he rushed into marriage ahead of time before anyone else did it first, having children was something he never dared think about until now.
Suddenly it dawned on him: maybe there really was such thing as good luck coming from being foolish sometimes?
Eden propped himself up with his head and looked at Minnie. Emotions were building up inside him beyond control!
Unable to restrain himself any longer, he leaned over and kissed Minnie all over the face!
At first Minnie didn’t react but eventually muttered as she turned around in bed.
“Baby I’m sorry I got too excited.”
Minnie felt helpless yet amused by how excited this man can get sometimes.
Wrapping an arm around Eden’s neck, she said, “This is just the beginning though… if you’re already getting so excited now, then what will happen later?”
Eden replied, “I might not be able to control myself forever. I might always stay this way.”
Minnie said, “What if I get really bad-tempered?”
Eden said, “Willingly bear it without complaining. And you can scold me and beat me up.”
Minnie burst out laughing, and kissed Eden’s lips, saying, “It’s not so exaggerated. I’m not a shrew.”
Eden kissed Minnie on the lips and said, “I’m happy, baby. I’m really happy.”
Minnie kissed the corner of Eden’s mouth and said, “Okay, go to sleep. I’m so sleepy.”
Eden lay down obediently, pulled Minnie into his arms, kissed her forehead, and said, “Good night, baby.”
Minnie slipped into Eden’s arms and soon fell asleep again.
Eden was still hyper and couldn’t sleep at all.
However, with Minnie in his arms, he was even more afraid to move.
It was not until dawn, after Minnie woke up, that Eden moved his already stiff shoulders.
Minnie stood up and looked at Eden, “Why haven’t you slept all night?”
“I was so excited I couldn’t sleep at all,” Eden said.
Minnie had no choice but to squeeze Eden’s shoulders and said, “Then do you want to sleep for a while now? Or should we go have some breakfast?”
“Let’s go have breakfast, and then we’ll go home and break the news to Mom and Dad,” Eden said.
Minnie nodded, ready to get up and wash up.
Her wrist was pulled by Eden, and Eden pulled her closer to his arms, and kissed her on the lips. It was not known how many times before Eden said, “Baby, I’m really happy.”
Minnie frowned, bit Eden’s lips, and said, “Okay, if you keep getting excited, you’ll go crazy.”
Eden also knew that he was a little exaggerated, but he really couldn’t control himself.
Just be crazy, he was very willing to keep being so crazy.
As the weather gradually cooled down, Aimee was finally approaching her due date. Her body was getting heavier, making her slender limbs look even more delicate.
Patrick had completely handed over the company to Walter and became a hands-off boss. He only cared about his wife and nothing else.
He lived in constant fear that Aimee’s big belly would make her lose balance and fall.
Ever since he found out that Aimee was pregnant, he had been on edge, but now it was worse than ever before.
Even the atmosphere at home became tense because of him.
Casey’s belly had also grown significantly larger, but she didn’t care about herself being a person who needed attention too. She continued to worry about Aimee, afraid she might bump into something or fall down.
Aimee felt touched by this concern yet helpless at the same time.
She knew better than anyone what it meant to be a pregnant woman as she was both a doctor and one herself.
However, everyone seemed to only remember her as just another pregnant woman, forgetting that she also held the identity of a doctor.
Even Camdyn seemed nervous around her as if holding up a glass of water were like lifting heavy weights for her.
It was fortunate that Aimee possessed strong mental resilience. Otherwise, with so much fussing around her all day long, she would have already collapsed under pressure long ago.
It could be said that among the entire Hayden family members present there, only Aimee remained calm while others were nervously anticipating this little life’s arrival.
At nightfall after Patrick massaged Aimee’s legs for some time, he said, “Baby, you’ve worked hard.”
Aimee snuggled into Patrick’s arms and replied, “I’m fine. You guys are just too worried.”
Patrick suggested, “How about we go to the hospital these few days?”
Considering that her due date was in two or three days’ time, going hospital early could reduce some worries they may have later on during labor pains etc.
Although she was hesitant initially, not wanting to go so soon yet, since Patrick brought it up, she didn’t want him to be worried anymore so she agreed, saying, “Okay then.”
However, things in this world can never be predicted entirely if they could, then there wouldn’t be any surprises left in life!
In the middle of night, she suddenly felt intense abdominal pain, which made her wince instantly waking up from sleep.
Although it was the first time for her to give birth, she also knew that the little ones couldn’t wait and would come out to see the world immediately.
Aimee was a little dumbfounded. After adjusting her breathing, she pushed Patrick and said, “Hubby, hubby, I’m going to give birth.”
Almost immediately after hearing Aimee’s voice, Patrick started to get up.
However, he seemed to be frozen, just stared at Aimee and didn’t move for a long time.
Aimee raised her hand and squeezed Patrick’s arm, saying, “Hubby, bring my delivery bag first, and I’ll wait for you in the car.”
In comparison, Aimee was so calm that she didn’t even look like a pregnant woman.
Her stomach hurt, but it was to the extent she can bear it completely.
Patrick finally came back to his senses, and quickly got up to help Aimee, but he moved too much and fell to the ground.
