Coolest Girl in Town

Chapter 825 A Daughter Instead of a Son

Alexander answered with pride, “I’ve been plotting the whole thing over the last seven years. No woman will ever bother to answer me even if I call them now.”

Elise hummed before she started to make fun of him. “It seems like you have to call a lot of women every day.” “Ellie!” He was vexed at her teasing.

Her chuckle could be heard from the other side of the phone. “All right, I’ll stop teasing you. Then again, didn’t we see each other a while ago? Why did you call? Is something going on?”

“In fact, there’s a matter. I’m afraid that I can only get you and the children back two months later,” he elaborated. “Jessamine’s children are celebrating their birthday soon. They will leave after the birthday party.”

“No problem,” she agreed with him good-naturedly. “We’ve made it through seven years, so we don’t mind waiting any longer.”

“It’s just that I don’t want to see you and the children suffer.” Sighing, Alexander changed the topic. “By the way, you should bring Irvin to visit the child from the Lawrence Family at the hospital when you’re free. The girl, Jace, indeed broke her arm.”

Elise found his request odd. “Girl? Isn’t the child a boy?”

“The Lawrence Family have been expecting a son, but Mrs. Lawrence has failed to give birth to one. Therefore, they’ve been raising the girl in the way they would a son,” he elaborated.

Elise let out a long breath and felt a pang of sadness well up inside her. “I feel sorry for the girl.”

Not only was Jace’s gender not expected by her family, she was also being forced to use another gender to live. It was too much a hardship for a girl at her age.

“Therefore, we should never allow our children to make her suffer even more. She must feel upset after being hit by a boy, and Irvin indeed took it too far. He needs to apologize, so he can understand the consequence of acting without thought,” Alexander said earnestly.

Elise nodded even though he couldn’t see her. “I know what to do.”

As they had dealt with one matter, Alexander asked, “Is Lexi asleep?”

“She is,” Elise murmured. “She had too much fun at your engagement party. Once we came back from the party, she fell asleep after a bath.”

He was dejected to learn it. “She seems like she was eager to look for a father during the party a moment ago. How dare she sleep tight without me? Does she not need me anymore?”
