Begging For A Reconciliation

Chapter 475

Chapter 475 Why Don’t You Try Giving Birth




Morning, the next day.

The snow had stopped by the time Leah woke up.

Around the neighborhood, the evergreen leaves had taken on a whitish hue, softly trickling down with every gust of wind.

Several winter birds perched on the trees chirped noisily, waking Leah completely from her slumber. With a yawn, she pulled herself out of bed.

After washing her face, she opened the door to go outside, and immediately heard a loud noise coming from the living room downstairs.

“Ben Huffington Wright! Don’t bite off more than you can chew! You want me to feed you?! Are you still dreaming?!” Serena yelled in disbelief.

Leah also thought that Ben’s request was a little overboard. Making her way downstairs, she greeted the two, “Hi Serena, you guys came early.”

She assumed they would have had to finish the checkup in the afternoon at least before coming back here.

Seeing Leah, Serena’s furious expression immediately softened. With a beaming smile on her face, she waltzed over and wrapped her arms around Leah’s. She said, “Well, I just couldn’t help missing you. That sly fox has you locked up in your little castle and won’t even let you come meet me in the hospital, so I had no choice but to come here with one of his lackeys.”

Leah was almost completely fooled. However, when she saw the solemn expression on Ben’s face, she asked anxiously, “Don’t tell me Ravensong’s men have snuck their way into the hospital too?”

Hearing Leah’s question, Serena’s smile quickly faded away into a grim expression as she answered, “That’s right. Just before the sunrise this morning, I had woken up early and noticed something strange happening outside of the room, so I texted Mr. Howard to send his men over ahead of schedule. Had I not done that, we might have fallen victim to their poison gas by now.”

Serena’s voice grew agitated as she exclaimed, “What a bunch of damn cowards! Resorting to such petty tricks from their dark little corners when they can’t take us face-to-face. How despicable!”


Everyone’s expression turned solemn as the widespread influence of Ravensong weighed on their minds.

“Hi Mommy, Auntie Serena, Uncle Ben. What are you guys talking about?” Carlotta suddenly appeared holding a small rabbit doll.

Her chubby cheeks were a little red from the cold winter breeze. Seeing this, Leah hurriedly brought her into her arms and asked, “Carlotta, did you open the window when you woke up and let the cold wind blow in?”

Even though she phrased it like a question, there was a surety in her tone.

There was still a lingering chill coming from the little girl’s clothes.

Carlotta’s eyes quickly looked away in embarrassment. Clutching tightly on her rabbit doll, she said, “I-I just saw that it was snowing outside, and wanted to take a quick look. I closed the window back right away.”

Seeing her mother’s expression turn darker and darker, Carlotta got so nervous she could feel cold sweat dripping down her skin.

At that moment, Serena couldn’t bear to watch on any longer from the side and pulled Carlotta away. Feeling sorry for the little girl, she caressed Carlotta’s cheeks and said, “Your Mommy is just being a meanie. What’s wrong with wanting to see a little snow?”

She turned to Leah and added, “Come on, she’s such a precious little thing. Stop scaring her!”

‘If little Carlotta gets frightened and starts crying, how am I going to play with her?’ Serena thought.

Leah looked at Serena with a blank expression. She already knew what the latter was thinking.

“Serena, my dear, if you love children so much, why not try giving birth to one yourself?”

Hearing this, Carlotta clapped her hands excitedly and said, “Yeah, yeah! Auntie Serena, when are you and Uncle Ben going to have a baby?”

The cutie’s innocent eyes darted back and forth between Serena and Ben, causing the two in question to turn stiff and awkward.

Ben was evidently more reserved than Serena. His face completely flushed, he said with much difficulty, “C-Carlotta, these things take time.”

‘Ms. Coleman doesn't even think of me like that right now, much less about us getting married and having kids together.’ he thought.

Serena was also a little thrown off guard and quickly changed the subject, “Having a kid like you to play with is good enough for me. I’ll be your godmother!”

Carlotta enjoyed playing around with Serena too. However, she still put on an expression too serious for her stature as she gave the latter some heartfelt advice, “Auntie Serena, you shouldn’t think like that. Daddy and Mommy are still going to be my number one in the end. Think about it. Once you get old and can’t move around as much, I’ll need to spend time with Mommy and Daddy, so I won’t be able to take care of you. That’s why you need to be a mommy too, so that I can play with your baby. Then once we’re older, we can take care of our own parents.”

Serena had a pained expression from the rebuke and asked, “You little brat. Where did you learn all this from?”

“TV, of course!” Carlotta answered.

Serena quickly turned to face Leah’s forced smile and said, “I think you should restrict her TV time and make her watch something more helpful like news or nature documentaries. She needs to lay off on those stupid family love shows!”

Leah couldn’t help but chuckle. Before she could respond, she felt a message come in from her phone.

It said, “How are you?”
