I smiled. "No."
"A lot of people would think that we're... weird.”
Xander wanted to use the word 'disgusting' at first. | put away the smile on my face. "I read a book once about
why homosexuality isn't accepted in our culture. That's because our culture views fertility as a n end in itself,
cluelessness as purity, ignorance as a virtue, and prejudice as a principle. Love should be viewed by how one
being treats another being, not the reaction of one organ toward another."
After a pause, | continued, "I just want to say to not get caught up by how the world views you. Follow your
heart. If you're happy and blissful, then you'll be living a much more meaningful life than most people."
Xander pursed his lips and got up, opening up his arms to hug me. "Thank you, Wandy."
"Why are you thanking me?" | sighed helplessly. "I'll be happy as long as you're happy.”
The greatest comfort forwas knowing that the people aroundwere happy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMany people thought | was happy. In their eyes, my marriage to Theo was the greatest joy in my life. He was the
love of my life, an outstanding man in every
possible aspect, and the man of countless women's dreams. Only | knew the bitterness within.
If I could, | wanted to live a plain and simple life just like Jerand Xander. | wanted to ignore everything that
was going on in the outside world and immerse myself in the world where there were just the two of u s.
However, such plain and simple life would never be mine. We were overwhelmed by too many disturbances from
the outside world, and as a result, our relationship had becless pure.
The three of us talked for a very long tat dinner, and the doctor's appointment was put off until tomorrow. |
woke up very early this morning and had rushed to board the flight, so | was drowsy by nine o'clock.
Before going back to my room to sleep, | went to the nursery to check on Munchkin before going to bed in a
good mood.
An infant's cries rang out in the middle of the night. | woke up with a start from a bad dream. | pushed the covers
aside and got out of bed before running out of m y room.
| bumped into Jerwho was also heading to the nursery. He grabbed my shoulders with both hands and
shouted anxiously, "Are you okay, Wanda?”
| looked dazedly at him. "My child is crying."
Jerput on a pained expression and hugged me, pattingon the back. "Nimue is crying. He's probably
hungry. I'll go and feed him smilk. Can you go back to your room and sleep?"
The fog in my head cleared up a lot. "I'll cwith you."
When Jerwas done feeding Nimue, we left the nursery together.
After having breakfast the next morning, | wanted Xander to accompanyto the obstetrics and gynecology
department.
He had probably informed Jerabout it, that was why he said with a face full of disapproval, "Stop messing
around, Wanda. How could you still have any left after so long?"
| frowned. "How am | supposed to know if | don't even try?"
Seeing how persistent | was, he did not say anything else. | returned to my room to change my clothes, then

Jerneeded to go out, so Xander and | brought Munchkin with us.
When we arrived at the hospital, we went straight to the office of the attending obstetrician and gynecologist.
Xander and Jerwere two grown men who knew nothing about childcare. Back then, things were easier for
them in France because they could hire a nanny. However, after returning to Salt City, they were unable to find a
nanny on such short notice. Hence, Xander was keeping in touch with this obstetrician and gynecologist. He
would approach her whenever he needed help.
Xander carried Munchkin and we sat together on the bench, looking very much like a family of three. The doctor
askedwith a smile, "You're the child's mother?"
I nodded.
Since Cecilia had put her child under my care, | would be his mother from now on. Therefore, | had to answer this
way regardless of whether she would misunderstand my relationship with Xander or not.
"Dog, it hasn't been six months since | gave birth but | haven't breastfed my child since the baby was born. D o
you think I would still have any breast milk left if | stimulate lactation now?"
