How a Dying Woman Rewrote Her Epilogue

Chapter 460

Those words seemed to put Sylvie at ease. She smiled softly. "Thank you."

Queenie winked at her. "You know, you could always do what I did try having the baby first, then talk marriage."

Sylvie blinked, glancing at Queenie's still-flat stomach.

Queenie patted her belly, a thoughtful smile playing on her lips. "Ivan and I have been together for ages. If it weren't for this baby, I doubt we'd be tying the knot anytime soon. Honestly, having a child is a great way to anchor a relationship."

If it weren't for this baby, Ivan probably wouldn't have committed to marrying her- at least not yet.

Sylvie couldn't help glancing over at Ivan. Anyone could see he wasn't the kind of man easily tamed. Maybe Queenie was right—a baby really did seem like a good way to make him settle down.
