Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Mrs. Li, The CEO’s Wife (8)

However, no one expected that the second’s boasting would actually come true and be boy-girl twins. The eldest watched with envy, thinking the second must have had incredible luck this pregnancy to fulfill all his desires.

And so, without considering Carolline Ruiz’s feelings anymore, they began to try for their own "daughter."

Furthermore, after Carolline got pregnant, Brian learned from his younger brother and would speak to the future child through Carolline’s belly, calling out "daughter, daughter." Later, Carolline couldn’t take it anymore. The ultrasound had already shown the child’s gender, and a colleague of hers told her in her fifth month of pregnancy that it would be a boy again.

Carolline didn’t care about the gender, but the child’s father seemed obsessed. Even though everyone clearly told him it was a boy, he refused to believe it, thinking that ultrasounds were just machines and machines could make mistakes. But in the end, they gave birth to a son, and only then did Bryan’s muttering cease.

Just when everyone thought Bryan would surely push Carolline to have a third child, since he so eagerly desired a daughter, Carolline thought the same. But one day, Bryan went to the hospital to inquire about the vasectomy procedure because he wanted to get one.

Everyone was shocked, thinking Bryan must have been driven crazy by his son. Why would he go for such a surgery when there was no need? Carolline was also dizzy, but eventually, Bryan held his wife in his arms and said something that moved Carolline to tears.

As it turned out, Bryan couldn’t bear to see Carolline go through such pain again. Having personally witnessed the process of childbirth, Bryan realized it wasn’t as easy as having a bowel movement.

After a good ten hours, Carolline suffered terribly in pain, and if it wasn’t for the others present, he would have grabbed his son and spanked his butt three times in anger.

Later on, Bryan became quite fixated on certain ideas, such as permanent birth control. He wouldn’t let Carolline get an intrauterine device, having heard they were not good and could harm the body. So, he took the initiative to get sterilized.

Another time, Bryan felt heartache for Carolline so blamed their second child who he ardently wanted to beat. In the end, Carolline had to scold him awake.

But, of course, these were all just memories.

As Bryan drove out, Axel climbed into the back seat and sat in his child seat. Carolline naturally opened the rear door to accompany her son.

Bryan refused to start the car, and then coughed heavily, accusing Carolline of neglecting her husband and favoring their son. Axel promptly said, "Mom, you go sit in the front to accompany Dad."

Carolline responded, "No need, I’ll keep you company. We haven’t seen each other for so long, so we can chat." She glared at Bryan, who reluctanly began driving, sulking like a child.

Axel suddenly remembered something, "Mom, are Elena and Auntie Daisy still at Auntie Celia’s house?"

"Yes, they are." Daisy Willow had just called her, saying she had returned from her old house; her parents had also come, and supported her in divorcing Cole Duncan, forgiving her in the process.

Carolline thought Daisy’s worries were pointless since parents in this world were the most forgiving. Besides, Cole Duncan and his son had crossed all lines and didn’t deserve anyone’s forgiveness.

Axel said, "Then when we go out to play, can we invite Elena and Auntie Daisy to join us?" During summer vacation, Carolline had promised to take him out for a few days with his grandparents, just like they used to.

Carolline nodded as Axel stated how happy he would be if Elena could join them, "Sure, I’ll talk to Auntie Daisy about it."

Bryan turned around and interrupted, "Where are we going? How come I don’t know anything about it? When did you plan it without telling me?"

Axel explained, "Dad, every summer vacation, Grandpa and Mom would arrange their leave to accompany me and Grandma on a holiday, usually to some cool place to play in the water and escape the heat."

Bryan turned sour, "Oh really? Your life sure was exciting without me."

Carolline and Axel: "..."

Carolline ignored him but then remembered their conversation about Daisy Willow. In fact, her court case was coming up in a couple of days.

If they were really going to invite Daisy and Elena, they should consider the progress of the lawsuit. If it was resolved in one go, there should be no problem.

Carolline took out her phone and called Daisy, confirming the trial was set for Friday afternoon of this week.

That was the afternoon of the day after tomorrow.

On that day, she was just finishing her morning shift and could hurry over after work.

At that time, she would leave Axel with her parents, as it was better not to bring a child to the court.

Axel asked, "What did Auntie Daisy say?" He was concerned about whether Elena could join them or not, and if she could, he would ask his dad to take many photos.

"I haven’t mentioned it yet. Auntie Daisy has some matters to handle. Anyway, you still have a month of summer vacation left. It’s still too hot now, so let’s wait until it’s a little cooler before discussing it with them."

Axel pouted, "Mom, you’re just stalling. The summer vacation will end while it is still hot."

Bryan suddenly let out a laugh without holding back, showing no respect.
