Chapter 1038: Chapter 1018: Rio Gordon Who Can’t Date!

Ivy Aretha had initially thought of handling the situation by herself, but after keeping it to herself for two days, on the third night, she took the initiative to talk to Roy Thompson about it. They were husband and wife; they naturally had to be united in heart.

That evening, after being thoroughly exhausted as usual, Ivy Aretha lay on his chest, her little hand gently playing with the man’s Adam’s apple, still pondering how to broach the subject when his deep voice reached her ears.

"Baby, with you fussing like this, I could think you hadn’t had enough today!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

"Brother Roy, if you keep this up, be careful you might just exhaust yourself to death!"

After asking for so many times, how could he still shamelessly ask if she hadn’t had enough? That really was something.

"It’s because your belly isn’t cooperating, otherwise I wouldn’t have to try so hard!"

Logically, with him being so diligent, there should have been some sign from her belly, "Baby, you couldn’t have been secretly taking birth control pills, could you?"

The more he thought about it, the more Roy Thompson felt this was very likely. Otherwise, why was there no reaction at all despite his hard work!

"Pfft!"

Hearing this, Ivy Aretha couldn’t help but burst into laughter, "Brother Roy, you really sound like a resentful husband. If I were infertile and couldn’t have children, Brother Roy, would you still want me?"

They hadn’t been using contraception for so long, she was so young, and life wasn’t stressful. By all accounts, she should have easily been able to conceive. Mia Rowen’s case was just like that — they had just fallen in love, hadn’t even enjoyed their life as a couple yet, and a child was already on the way!

"Tsk, nonsense! How easy do you think it is to be infertile? Are all the kids on the streets sprung from stones? If anyone were to be infertile, it would be me; what infertility could you possibly have?"

Roy Thompson chuckled as he rubbed her head, "What’s wrong with you today? You seem so distracted. Did something happen at the company?"

This girl, habitually wearing her heart on her face, Roy Thompson could almost immediately tell, today she was completely out of sorts.

"Brother Roy..."

Ivy Aretha paused before finally voicing the thoughts she had buried in her heart for three days, "If I made you wear a cuckold’s hat in front of an audience, what would you do? Would you divorce me?"

A cuckold’s hat?

Roy Thompson squinted at her, his brows inching together in a frown, "Has Hanny Josh been talking to you?"

That was the only possibility; otherwise, with Ivy Aretha’s usually bright disposition, she wouldn’t ask such a question, which only a woman lacking in self-confidence would pose: "Has she been spouting nonsense to you?"

"Don’t listen to her, that woman’s moral compass is all skewed. Just trust me; you don’t need to bother about anyone else!"

Damn it, he had looked away for just a moment, and that woman had run off to spout nonsense to his darling!

"But she has my photos and videos!"

Roy Thompson had already made it clear; additionally, the two had always been in sync since childhood. Ivy Aretha straightforwardly confessed, "In the photos, my whole person is nestled in a man’s arms. If those photos get out, your reputation would be ruined!"

Roy Thompson just stared at the woman lying on his chest, almost twenty years, and she really hadn’t changed at all; whatever happened, she always thought of others first, not concerned about her own reputation at a time like this, but worried about his instead?

"A few broken photos, what kind of fuss can they cause? Marrying you is my greatest reputation, I don’t care about anything else!"

Roy Thompson gently stroked the woman’s head, the color in his eyes deepening, "Just remember, no matter what happens, no matter what you become, as long as you are alive, you are mine. So, stop worrying about those nonsensical things!"

Having said that, Roy sighed heavily, "If my treasure can’t fully trust me, I’m really a failure as a person!"

Bella Gordon: "..."

Since Brother Roy had said so, Bella naturally didn’t dwell on the matter anymore. She let him handle it and focused wholeheartedly on getting pregnant. They had been married for almost two years now; a world for two is endless, but it was better to have a child first, then do whatever they wanted without any concerns.

"Sister, you need to talk to Mommy. I’ve seen parents worry about their kids dating too early, but I’ve never seen parents pushing their kids to date early!"

When Bella Gordon returned to Gordon Mansion on the weekend, she was greeted at the door by a cold complaint from Rio Gordon, who looked like he had found a savior when he saw Bella, "You better have a child so Mommy can look after it. She’s been so idle lately, she’s only focusing on my business!"

Bella Gordon: "..."

Could she just have a child whenever she wanted?

Otherwise, why would she even be preparing for pregnancy?

"Brat, you’re already a sophomore, about to be a junior. You’re an adult already, how is it too early for you to date!"

Ivy Aretha, fuming, grabbed a bolster pillow off the sofa and hurled it at Rio, "I should’ve known not to have sons, just daughters would have been enough. Look at your sister, who chose her husband at five, and then look at your little sister, who has her God completely under her thumb. Rio, look how old you are! You didn’t inherit any of your dad’s flirting skills, at least learn something useful!"

They say it’s daughters that give mothers worries, but in her family, it was her son who caused her all the stress. Not dating during the prime of his life would be life’s greatest regret, especially since her son was handsome and pursued by many women. He walked around with such a foul expression; she was worried about him turning out wrong!

These days there are just too many homosexuals, sometimes even reported in the news. Some small countries have even legalized it, and if she didn’t step in at his age, it could be too late!

"Ahem, Mommy, it’s not that I’m not dating, it’s just that I haven’t found the right girl yet. I should focus on my academics for now. I’m preparing for skipping a grade, so you may as well keep those girls away from me!"

Rio Gordon was at a loss for words with his own mother, who was the boss of the family. No one dared to backtalk her, not even Daddy, so he had no choice but to quietly endure her scolding. Fortunately, seeing his sister had come home, he quickly seized the opportunity to escape.

"Sister, you just got back, you must have a lot to talk about with Mommy. Haven’t you been unable to conceive? You should learn from Mommy. She had three children!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

She didn’t have all three at once, okay?

Oh shoot, was her son planning a rebellion?

"Rio Gordon, watch out when your dad comes back, I’ll let him home discipline..." Before she could finish, Rio’s shadow had disappeared, leaving Ivy Aretha wanting to hit someone, "If this kid keeps annoying me I’ll hit menopause early!"

Bella Gordon: "..."

"Ahem, Mommy, you’re nearly fifty now, so if it’s menopause, it’s just the usual, not early menopause!"

Ivy Aretha: "..."

"Mommy, Rio has grown up; if he’s not dating, maybe he just hasn’t met someone he likes yet!" Bella said, then suddenly remembered something, "He couldn’t still be thinking about that Senna Leon who disappeared, could he?"
