Ada’s gentleness stood in stark contrast to Sophia, who possessed a strong–willed nature. Whenever a man was beside Ada, they instinctively would feel the urge to protect her.

“I’m feeling much better. Perhaps the little one sensed that Daddy was here, so it stopped fussing,” Ada remarked before playfully changing the subject. “Jason, do you think our child will resemble you more or me?”
