Love at First Novel by Gu Lingfei

"Work doesn't get in the way of having a second kid," Zachary said. "We were both working when we were trying for our second."

He didn't smoke or drink. He didn't work late anymore and always tried to be in

During that time, Serenity had a lighter workload.

Once Jasmine and Elisa found out she was preparing for another baby, they took on more responsibility, giving Serenity time to relax.

Elisa and Remy also had a son after they got married. It wasn't clear yet if they'd go for a second child.

Elisa always joked that everyone around her kept having boys-then she had a boy too. She and her husband really wanted a girl.

Clive and Alice had a second child too-another boy. Even Audrey started joking that the Stone family might end up like the Yorks, full of boys, and joked they'd need to turn their house into a monastery.
