You're Just My Ex-Husband,My Lord-Chapter 247- satisfied

Now, it was Laurent who felt awkward. She quickly changed the subject to stop her mother.

"Mom, what are you talking about? I’m not thinking about that at all right now."

What was even going on here? She and Dave had just gotten back together, and her mother was already talking about a second child?

To be honest, Laurent didn’t want to have another child. Even though the two-child policy had been relaxed, she felt that having one child was enough. As a woman, she was complete, and as an adult, she was also complete. Being fortunate enough to participate in the growth of this little life was enough for her. Moreover, her career was just getting started. If she had another child, everything she had worked so hard to build would have to be put on hold, and she wasn’t willing to put her efforts aside for another baby.

Cassy continued to urge her to remarry Dave and plan for a second child.

Laurent chose to ignore her mother’s words, laughing it off and brushing the topic aside.

After spending the weekend at home, Laurent and her daughter returned to Burg Eltz on Sunday afternoon. Before they left, her father pulled her aside and repeatedly reminded her not to agree to remarry Dave so easily.

Laurent felt helpless. With her parents on completely different sides, who was she supposed to listen to?

"Dad, don’t worry. Even if I wanted to remarry him now, he wouldn’t agree." 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Laurent finally said this with a smile. Upon hearing this, Alex immediately assumed that Dave had become arrogant again. He turned to her with a cold expression and asked:

"What do you mean? He doesn’t want to remarry you?"

Laurent explained to her father:

"It’s not that he doesn’t want to. It’s that he wants to wait until you fully approve before we remarry. He said he wants me to marry him again with everyone’s blessing."

Alex stood there in shock for a while after hearing Laurent’s words.

He hadn’t expected Dave to say something like that. Those words weren’t just a sign of respect for his daughter, but also for him, as her father-in-law. It made Alex look at Dave in a new light.

Laurent glanced at her father’s expression and knew that what she relayed from Dave had made some impact. So, she didn’t say anything else. After saying goodbye to her parents and getting into the car, she drove off with her daughter.

Dave had been waiting downstairs at her place for a while. When he saw them return, he stepped forward, scooped up her daughter with one arm, and pulled Laurent into his embrace, kissing her. His voice carried a hint of longing.

"Finally, you’re back."

His expression was so pitiful that even their daughter couldn’t stand it.

"Dad, what’s wrong with you? You look so sad..."

Dave couldn’t help but laugh and leaned down to kiss the little girl’s cheek.

"Daddy just missed you both so much."

The little girl giggled and said, "If you miss us so much, then you should come with us to Grandma’s house next time."

Children are innocent and unaware of the complexities of adult relationships, so she had no idea that her grandfather didn’t like her father.

Dave was completely caught off guard.

He would love to go with them, but unfortunately, he wasn’t exactly welcome at the moment.

Dave handed their daughter over to Laurent and then took her luggage and the snacks her mother had packed for her up to the apartment. It was the same as always—Cassy would pack her up with bags of food every time she came back, and this time was no different. So, Laurent didn’t need to worry about dinner.

Once they were home, the little girl went off to play. Dave blocked Laurent in the kitchen while she was organizing things and asked seriously:

"Did your parents say anything this time? Especially your dad?"

Seeing the worried look on his face, Laurent couldn’t help but think of her father’s advice and got a mischievous idea.

"They did."

Dave rushed to ask, "What did they say?"

Dave was really hoping to gain some approval from Alex.

Laurent tilted her head, recalling her father’s words.

"My dad said I should really test you, preferably for three to five years. Once I’m sure of your feelings, then we can remarry."

Laurent said this with a barely contained smile, certain that Dave would be upset.

Sure enough, his face darkened immediately.

"Three to five years?"

"Hasn’t the past half year been enough of a test?"

Dave was genuinely hurt.

"If I’m tested for another three to five years, we’ll both be old by then!"

After Dave said that, he narrowed his eyes and stared at her, asking:

"So, what did you say?"

Laurent continued to hold back her laughter, teasing him:

"You know me, I’ve always been very obedient to my dad—"

"You—!"

Dave was about to lose it. Was she really going to let her dad test him for another three to five years?

Turning around, he paced a couple of steps in the narrow kitchen before turning back to face her, and then decisively said:

"No way! A year at most. I’ll give you another year to test me, and within that year, you have to remarry me!"

Dave was laying down the law. He couldn’t accept the idea of being in a relationship with her for another three to five years.

He wanted her to truly, officially belong to him, to give her the title of Mrs. Washington, and not just remain as a girlfriend.

Seeing how genuinely anxious he was, Laurent couldn’t help but laugh softly. When Dave, embarrassed and angry, was about to confront her, she took the initiative, wrapped her arms around his neck, stood on tiptoe, and kissed him on the lips.

Then, as she pulled back slightly, she whispered in his ear:

"Don’t be mad. Once I’ve convinced my dad, I’ll remarry you."

Dave’s chest finally felt lighter, and taking the lead, he pulled her back into his arms, gripping her waist tightly as he kissed her deeply, as though he wanted to merge with her.

Considering their daughter was nearby, they kept the kiss brief.

As expected, Dave stayed the night again. Before bed, their daughter protested, asking why Laurent hadn’t been there when she woke up that morning, and why she had been sleeping with Daddy instead. The question made Laurent feel quite awkward, but she quickly reassured her daughter, promising that the next morning, she would be there when she woke up.

The little girl pouted, holding out her pinky to make a promise with Laurent, and then finally went to sleep, satisfied.
