A Call That Changed Her Entire Life

“Okay, be careful on your drive back home!“ Saul said with a concerned expression.

Beside him, Fabian was still trying to convince Cherish that she should have a baby of her own soon. “Cherish, you must take this seriously. Don't get me wrong. This is for your own good,“ she told her.

Tired of Fabian's nagging, Cherish pretended not to hear her and turned to Saul instead. She smiled at him and said, “Yes, Dad, we'll be careful. We're going to leave now. I promise I'll come and visit you guys again soon. Bye!“ Then, she walked away in a hurry, closed the door, and made herself comfortable inside the car.

“How rude! She's getting more impolite by the minute! I wasn't even finished speaking,“ Fabian complained and huffed.

Unable to stand Fabian's attitude anymore, Saul turned to her with a frown. “I'm tired of you telling my daughter what she should do. Whether they want to have a baby or not, it's up to them to decide as a couple. It's not our business. It's useless for us old people to nag them about it.“

To say that Fabian was annoyed at his words was an understatement. She was livid. Fabian didn't expect that Saul would also view her as a nagger. She scowled at him and ranted, “If she would just listen to me, then maybe I wouldn't have to nag at her. What would happen if we don't tell her what to do? At this rate, we will be dead before we even get to meet our grandchild. Is that what you want, huh?“

Saul had expected his wife to explode after he scolded her. So, he quickly covered his ears with his hands and ran inside.

On their way back, Carlos casually asked Cherish as he drove, “Honey, did you pay attention to what Mom said earlier? Should we start considering it?“

To his surprise, Cherish appeared to be in a temper when she replied, “What? Why are you even listening to her? When I'm ready to have a baby, I'll tell you!“

Despite her irritated tone, Carlos pursued the topic. “How about we start making preparations for it later when we get home?“ he asked in a hopeful tone.

“Just shut up and focus on the road!“ Cherish hissed and turned her head away to stare at the view from the car window.

When they got back home, they found Chuck and Leah in their living room waiting for their return.

So, she quickly waved her hand and said in a panicked voice, “But Cherish, you can't wait for too long though! I've asked around about it. You're currently at the best age to get pregnant!
