Chapter 1001: Chapter 515: Extra Story: The Hilarious Childbirth Fiasco 3

"Seeing you so happy, does it mean Geoffrey prefers a boy?" Rebecca Quentin teased.

Christine Quinn nodded in response, "We happened to discuss this topic last night..."

Rebecca gently stroked her belly, "I said long ago, it’s a mischievous little boy..."

Just as they were talking, Skyler Jones’ phone call came in.

Christine quickly made a shushing gesture to Rebecca, then calmly answered the phone, "Hello..."

"Honey, are you done with the check-up?"

Christine replied dejectedly, "Yes."

"Is the baby okay?"

"Yes, the doctor said the baby is very healthy, everything’s normal."

"What about you?"

"I’m good too, not affected by the baby."

Skyler breathed a sigh of relief, "I’m glad you and the baby are okay..."

"But honey..." Christine interrupted Skyler, "I asked the doctor about the baby’s gender today."

"Hmm?"

"It’s a girl."

Skyler paused on the other end of the line, "A daughter is good, I like daughters the most."

Christine playfully blinked, "Really?"

"I said, whether it’s a boy or a girl, let it happen naturally... I like daughters just the same."

Christine stifled a laugh, "Alright, I won’t disturb your work, let’s talk when you get home."

"Okay."

Christine ended the call cheerfully, Rebecca immediately teased, "You’re naughty, deceiving Geoffrey."

Christine replied, "Don’t tell the family or Geoffrey, I’ll surprise him later."

Rebecca made an OK gesture, supporting Christine, "Let’s go home, Mrs. Pregnant."

Christine chuckled lightly.

Christine had just returned to her room, ready to rest, when unexpectedly the door was suddenly flung open.

Christine was momentarily startled, seeing Skyler rush toward her like an arrow released.

"Honey!!" Skyler was obviously anxious as he hurried home, with a hint of sweat on his forehead.

"Oversky, what’s wrong? Aren’t you at the office?" Christine asked, puzzled, supporting Skyler.

Skyler reached out and tightly embraced Christine.

Caught by surprise in this suffocating embrace, Christine pushed back, "Honey, you’re pressing on the baby..."

Skyler quickly released Christine upon hearing, nervously placing a hand on her belly, "Is everything okay?"

Christine shook her head with a smile, "Everything’s fine."

Skyler gently held Christine’s delicate shoulders and softly said, "Honey, whether it’s a boy or a girl, I love them both, so don’t overthink it."

"You..." Christine was taken aback, "You came back just to tell me this?"

Skyler couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Christine, nervously saying, "I was worried you might overthink."

Christine smiled lightly, "Does it matter to you?"

"I don’t mind..." Skyler confessed, "I said, it’s already a great blessing from the heavens for us to have another child, I’m already very satisfied."

Christine lowered her head and sighed, "But if they’re all daughters, no one will inherit your business."

Skyler quickly embraced Christine and whispered, "Daughters can inherit the business too."

Christine mumbled, "Which girls go into business!"

"They don’t have to go into business, whatever they like..."

"You really feel there’s no regret? You know, I might not be able to give you more children in the future..." The doctor said that someone in her situation faces great risks in childbirth; even though this pregnancy is going well, it doesn’t guarantee the next one will be the same, so the doctor’s advice was to stop at this pregnancy.

"It doesn’t matter..." Skyler kissed Christine’s saddened face tenderly, "I like daughters more."

"Yes."

At that moment, Skyler knelt down and placed his ear on Christine’s belly.

Christine looked down, gazing deeply at him.

Skyler gently spoke to the little rascal inside Christine, "Sweet daughter, you’re so mischievous, always bullying your mommy... Mommy’s not in good health, you need to behave, okay? Otherwise, when you’re out, Daddy will spank your bottom..."

Seeing this scene, Christine felt very moved.

Knowing it’s a daughter, his main concern was still her...

He was so worried she’d overthink that he rushed home immediately from the office.

"Honey..."

Holding his head, she affectionately called.

"Hmm?" Skyler rose, wrapped his arms around her waist that had thickened due to pregnancy, "What’s up?"
