Laughter rang out around them. Most wives would wish for their husbands to be wealthy, but in a surprising twist, Mia hoped for the exact opposite.

Andre playfully nudged his wife's nose. "That might be a bit difficult."

Molly chimed in, turning to her father. "Dad, do I get a reward if I have a daughter?"
