His Destructive, Toxic Love (Jasper and Eliza)

Chapter 505

The little guy looked a bit confused for a moment, then nodded eagerly, "I want a sister."

"Last night, your mom and I were, well, you know, working on that for you," he said, trying to keep it simple, giving the kid a look that said, trust me, it's all for you. "That's not being mean, that's just putting in the effort." The little guy didn't quite get the grown-up stuff.

But he hated hearing his mom in pain.

"Can we make sure mom doesn't get hurt next time? If a sister comes from that, she might not be happy either."

"I promise."

He assured him that next time, the little guy wouldn't even hear a peep.
