There was nothing wrong with it, because she can cooperate.
Ben said, “I won’t make you unhappy.”
Tilly thought and said, “Then if I want to eat super spicy grilled chicken wings, will you agree?”
Hearing this, Ben looked at Tilly, his eyes fell on her stomach, and said, “Do you want to eat?”
Tilly nodded and said, “Yes.”
Ben said, “Is it okay to eat slightly spicy food?”
Let alone Tilly was pregnant now, even if she was not pregnant, she still had to worry about whether her stomach can stand the stimulation of super spicy food.
Tilly pursed her mouth and said, “Then I just want to ea. What should I do?”
Ben didn’t refuse, but said, “Baby, after I’ve asked the doctor to confirm whether you can eat it, can we talk about it?”
“Not good.” Tilly’s stubbornness came out. She had just asked a question, but as she spoke, she got herself worked up and really wanted to eat the insanely spicy chicken wings.
Ben was truly helpless. He knew he couldn’t let Tilly eat them, but he also didn’t want her to be upset.
“Baby, how about you eat them later?” Ben said.
Tilly pouted. She knew that when Ben said “later,” it meant either in the late stages of pregnancy or after giving birth and finishing postpartum recovery.
But since Ben had softened his stance like this, Tilly didn’t want to make things difficult for him.
“Okay then. Just remember not to forget,” Tilly said.
Ben reached out and touched Tilly’s head. “I won’t forget.”
Tilly stopped dwelling on it since she had gotten worked up earlier and wanted to throw a tantrum at
Ben for a moment there.
Now that things were back to normal, she quickly thought of something else instead of food. She looked at Ben and then down at her flat stomach.
“Does my craving for spicy food mean I’m having a daughter?” Tilly asked.
Ben was taken aback for a moment before looking at Tilly’s belly and saying, “Can you really tell this early?”
“I don’t know if it’s early or not,” Tilly replied. “But everyone says so; there must be some truth to it.”
Otherwise, why would people say it?
Although this theory may not necessarily be accurate, who knew? Maybe it was?
“So tell me then: do you want a daughter or son?” Tilly asked Ben.
Ben hadn’t really thought about this question before; both options were fine with him.
Tilly counted on her fingers while saying, “Ridge, Rosemary, Perla, Bran, two boys, two girls, and mine is in the middle. So we are covered no matter what.”
This left Ben confused as he didn’t understand what Tilly meant by being covered no matter what.
Tilly smiled slyly, “Whether we have boy or girl, it doesn’t matter because they will always have someone.”
Ben was speechless.
“Don’t you even ask their opinion?” Ben said.
“Casey and I have agreed to become in-laws in the future.” Tilly said.
Ben didn’t know what to say.
Could he refuse?
He really didn’t want to be related to Casey.
Seeing Ben’s silence, Tilly frowned and looked at him. She asked, “What’s wrong? Don’t you want to?
Are you disgusted with Casey?”
Ben bluntly said, “She’s too noisy.”
“You’re not afraid of making Casey angry?” Tilly asked.
“She’s already used to it,” Ben replied.
Tilly giggled and thought that Casey was also pitiful. With so many older brothers around her, none of them treated her like a little princess.
After thinking for a moment, Tilly said, “But I think Perla’s personality should be different from Casey’s.”
“People say that you can tell someone’s character when they’re three years old. She’s only three months old now,” Ben shrugged helplessly.
“Then let’s make a bet and see what kind of person Perla will become in the future,” Tilly suggested.
“I think you just want Perla as your daughter-in-law,” Ben teased with a smile on his face.
Tilly smiled back mischievously and said, “Don’t joke around or Rosemary will get jealous if she hears about it.”
Ben hugged Tilly tightly and said jokingly, “Well then we need our baby to be our son first; otherwise it won’t work.”
Tilly rubbed her belly gently before falling into silence for half a moment. Then she spoke up again saying, “Actually… I’ve set my sights on Ridge as my future son-in-law too.”
Ben was speechless.
He couldn’t help but laugh at how easily amused Tilly was by such things. He joked back saying, “Why don’t you wait until later? Maybe there’ll be someone else who catches your eye even more?”
Tilly tilted her head slightly before replying confidently, “Well then I’ll just have two or three more kids!”
However Ben remained silent because he didn’t actually want any more children after this one.
Noticing his lack of response, Tilly guessed what he might be thinking about so she stopped walking abruptly before saying seriously, “When we have our second child, I won’t feel so anxious anymore since I’ll already know what it feels like. I won’t worry.”
“Are you not afraid of the pain?” asked Ben curiously.
Thinking back on Aimee, Casey, and Minnie giving birth, Tilly felt scared deep down inside. She knew better than anyone how much pain childbirth could cause. However, she believed that if she wanted children, she could endure anything. Tilly replied earnestly, “I can do it.”
After pausing briefly, Tilly continued, “I want children not only because I love them, but also because I love you. I just want us both together forever. If You love me, I’m not afraid of anything.”
As Tilly spoke these words, Ben looked at her deeply, his heart moved by everything she had just shared with him. He couldn’t help but feel touched by all the emotions pouring out from Tilly’s heart.
He knew how much Tilly loved him, and even more how much he loved her. So, knowing that she was so afraid of pain, he didn’t want her to suffer more.
However, Ben couldn’t refuse the way Tilly loved him.
Cupping Tilly’s cheeks, Ben kissed her lips lightly.
Ben said, “Thank you, baby.”
Tilly hooked Ben’s neck, and the sockets of her eyes became hot.
They both loved each other in their own way.

Minnie lived directly in Mariam’s postpartum care center, and there was an endless stream of visits every day. In the end, Eden closed the door directly to prevent everyone from going.
Although Brandon was the youngest now, he was the strongest. Moreover, he went to bed when he was full, and smiled at everyone he saw every day, so he didn’t worry at all.
Compared with Brandon’s stability, it was Minnie’s state that was more worrying.
When she was pregnant, she was quite anxious, because her figure was out of shape, and she gained
20 kg directly than before pregnancy.
That was to say, Brandon had a lot of weight, which gave Minnie a little comfort. Otherwise, she really felt like she was going to cry.
However, seeing that the baby had been born, but her own weight had not dropped, Minnie was even more anxious.
This was almost worrying Eden.
He kept telling Minnie that even if she got a little plumper, it wouldn’t change his opinion of her in any way, that he still loved her.
However, the more Eden said this, the more anxious Minnie became.
She didn’t need Brandon to bother her, she just couldn’t sleep all night.
Seeing her hair falling down in handfuls, but her weight had not changed at all, Minnie was so angry that she wanted to cry.
The most important reason why Eden didn’t let everyone get together in the center was that Minnie felt uncomfortable even seeing these friends now.
Minnie’s mood was getting worse day by day, and tears would fall down her face without any reason.
Eden tried to comfort her but felt helpless and defeated for the first time.
There was no doubt that Minnie was suffering from postpartum depression, and even Eden seemed to be on the verge of depression.
Hayden family.
Eden walked in with a sad expression on his face. Patrick looked up at him and noticed something off about him.
Eden sat down on the couch with a troubled look. Patrick said, “People might think that Brandon is causing trouble because of your appearance.”
Eden looked up at Patrick and said, “If I’m not a human being, I really wish it was him.”
Patrick replied, “Don’t say things like that. Your family will break your legs if they hear you.”
Eden knew Patrick was right and sighed heavily. After a long pause, he said, “I don’t know what to do anymore. I still love her but she doesn’t even want to see me now.”
He even wondered if he deserved this punishment for his past mistakes.
Patrick suggested finding a psychologist for Minnie since she couldn’t regulate herself alone or with
