“Come eat after you wash your hands!” Tristan called out. He didn’t even ask where Sophie went.

Tristan thought she ought to have some time to herself. After all, it was indeed boring to stay in the hospital all day long.

Sophie went to the bathroom and washed her hands.

Her lips curled into a smile at the sight of the scrumptious lunch laid out on the table.

“Sarah, you’re amazing. You know how to make so many delicious dishes,” Sophie complimented. Given that Sarah came from an affluent family, it was surprising that she could cook so well.

Sarah chuckled in response.

“You flatter me. I made this mushroom soup alone. Our personal chef helped me with all the other dishes,” she replied.

“Sarah, you’re too humble. One of these days, you should really prepare a whole table of dishes on your own,” Tristan chimed in.

Sarah smiled.

“Sure! After you’re discharged, I’m going to personally prepare a table of dishes for both of you.” Sarah was usually too busy to cook. Nevertheless, she enjoyed cooking.

She relished the process of preparing the ingredients.

The serenity she felt while preparing the ingredients was unparalleled, and it always made her feel grounded and calm.

“Great. We’ll look forward to it.” Sophie beamed with delight while thinking that Sarah was quite likable.

Sarah was pleased to see Sophie and Tristan enjoy their lunch. However, the couple’s sweet moments suddenly reminded her of her own bleak marriage prospects.

In spite of that fact, she really wanted a child.

“Oh, right! When are the two of you having a baby?” Sarah asked out of the blue.

After she popped the unexpected question, there was a fairly long stretch of silence.

Sophie was stumped.

Why is she suddenly asking about this?

Tristan squeezed Sophie’s hand when he noticed her startled expression.

“Sarah, why are you asking about this all of a sudden? Sophie is still young. Why would we rush to have kids now?” Tristan replied.

Do you think having kids is as easy as earning money?
