Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 753 - 752 Joyful Events One After Another (2)_1

Seeing Julia lost in thought, he quickly restrained his smile and asked with concern and tenderness, "Honey, what’s the matter? You seem unhappy. This is a happy occasion, yet you look so preoccupied."

While speaking, he also reached out to touch Julia’s forehead, found nothing unusual, and then proceeded to carefully check her body, thinking she might be injured.

Julia caught his hand, gazing up at him with some hesitation. He was so happy, should she voice her concerns? He loved children so much, would he get angry if she asked?

"What’s wrong?" Glades Horne cradled her delicate face in his hands, staring intently at her, questioning.

Her expression unsettled him, and he was unsure about what was weighing on her mind.

"Do we want this child?"

Even though she was afraid he would get angry, Julia still asked.

Glades Horne immediately narrowed his eyes, emitting a dangerous gaze as he locked onto her eyes and asked in a deep voice, "What did you say?"

Whether they wanted the child or not? It was their child, why wouldn’t they want it?

"We already have Ivan, do we want this child?" Julia faced his dangerous glare.

Glades Horne furrowed his brows. He then drew her head into his chest and murmured softly beside her ear, "Silly girl, even if we have Ivan, we can still have another, right? Are you worried about Ivan? Do you think Ivan wouldn’t want a brother or sister? Perhaps he might initially resist, but as long as our love for him doesn’t diminish and we reason with him gently, he will understand. That boy is really smart. Honey, since you are pregnant, let’s have the baby. We surely can’t think of aborting it, right?"

Julia didn’t speak. She didn’t want to abort either. After all, it was a little life, and although it had only been a little over a month, it was still a life.

"Honey, don’t overthink things. I’m here for everything," Glades Horne smiled again.

This wasn’t his first time becoming a father, but he was still very happy. His Julia was pregnant again!

Influenced by his joy, Julia also cast aside all her worries and laughed, "It’s not your first time being a dad, you’re grinning so broadly your eyes have crinkled shut."

SMACK. Glades Horne planted a loud kiss on her face, laughing happily, "As long as I’m becoming a dad, I’m happy."

Julia smiled. She knew he would react like this. This man, he particularly adored and loved children. Now, with the four little kids at home, which one didn’t he dote on? Especially their son Ivan. Although he would compete with his son for her attention at night, he was actually the one who adored him the most.

"Honey, this time let’s have a beautiful daughter." Glades Horne seemed a bit eager, wishing Julia’s belly would swell immediately and that she would soon give birth to a beautiful and adorable daughter for him.

His large hand fell eagerly yet gently on Julia’s flat belly, but he knew that within, their second child was growing.

Having been a father once, he now had experience, and he would take even better care of his beloved wife.

"You think I don’t want that? But, who knows whether it will be a boy or a girl," Julia said with a playful laugh, relaxing and draping herself over him. She nestled comfortably in his arms, feeling safe and warm. It seemed to her that no matter what happened, as long as she lay in his arms, even if the sky fell, she would be unharmed. In the world, millions are fortunate, but she considered herself the luckiest of them all. She was born into a good family, married the most wonderful man in the world, and had borne a beautiful, adorable, and smart son. What made her the luckiest was the special affection her man had for her; years into their marriage, their love remained strong, the envy and jealousy of women everywhere.

"It will definitely be a daughter; this time, it has to be a daughter. We already have a son," Glades Horne said softly yet firmly, as if he already knew the sex of the unborn child.

His line of thinking was that since he had a son, he would definitely have a daughter as well.

"Didn’t you keep saying it was a girl when you were pregnant with Ivan? What happened in the end?" Julia teased him. Back then, he had been fixated on having a daughter, while his mother kept hoping for a grandson. His constant talk of a daughter even made his mother a bit unhappy. Now, if his mother knew about the pregnancy again, she would probably still be betting on a boy.

"Hey, I made a mistake that time, but I won’t make another mistake. It will surely be a daughter this time. From today on, my dear, you are my national treasure," Glades Horne said, his joy so great that even his eyebrows seemed to smile.

Not bothering to argue with his conviction of having a daughter, Julia argued for her own freedom, "This time, we both have experience. I hope you won’t do as you did the first time, having people follow me around all day. I’d rather continue living and working as I am now." It was her second child; Julia herself didn’t feel as anxious as before.

Glades Horne smiled and remained silent. His silence meant he disagreed; he would still have bodyguards protect her at all times, just as he did before. It seemed like since Ivan’s birth, he had granted her some freedom, hadn’t he? At least he let her drive herself.

Julia changed the subject. "Did Theo Robinson come to see you just now?"

"Mhm."

Glades spoke with an indifferent tone, "Orlando Evans is dead."

Julia’s eyes widened, and she asked anxiously, "Theo Robinson doesn’t think you did it, does he?"

Glades laughed and shook his head.

"That’s good. She... was actually quite pitiful; it’s all your fault!" Prodding his chest, she complained, "Why did you have to be so handsome? It attracts all sorts of pests, leading them from love to hate, and then down a path of no return."

There were actually many women who liked Glades Horne, but those who knew his personality didn’t dare to overtly show their interest. Only Orlando Evans and Lily Garcia dared to express their feelings. After Lily Garcia was thrown out of the Horne Family by Glades, she didn’t dare make any more moves and even stayed away from the Horne Family. After all the drama, Orlando Evans ended up with a tragic death.

Embracing her, Glades gave a bittersweet smile. Okay, it was all his fault. He should have only charmed her!

「Toy Industry Company.」

For the nth time, Anne Jones walked into Adele’s office, curious yet resigned, saying, "Assistant Horne, that Mr. Reyes is here again."

Adele was busy. Without looking up, she asked with a detached tone, "What did he bring this time?"

Ever since Noah Reyes was sent to the hospital with a full belly courtesy of her, he had found new ways to seek her out every day. If he wasn’t sending flowers, then he was sending grass. Really, the fellow had indeed presented her with grass once, saying that his grandmother mentioned that even in the absence of flowers, one should have grass. When he had a truckload of grass delivered to the company, everyone initially thought the company was planning to replant its lawns. However, when they learned it was a gift for her, everyone was flabbergasted.
