"Let's not have a son, let's just have a daughter. A girl i s great!
The more Alex thought about it, the more excited he got. He thought to himself, Jane and his attractiveness in appearance would not lose out to Sebastian and Sabrina even slightly. When his daughter was born, she may be even prettier than Aino.
However, he never would have expected that Jane, who was washing her feet, would immediately pull her feet back at once. She had a painful expression and was muttering to herself, "No! No! I don't want a daughter. I don't want to have a daughter. I don't want to. I don't want my daughter to be like that in the future. It's too miserable. Too miserable...! don’t want t o have a daughter!" Her tears dripped down into the bucket. Every teardrop created a huge ripple.
Alex was speechless. He stood up and hugged Jane. " I’m sorry. I'm sorry, Jane. I'm sorry! I should be d* mned! Everything was my fault! It was my fault! I can promise you with my life that I will not let it happen again! Our daughter certainly would be the noblest princess in the entire Kidon City. Her mother would b e the happiest woman in Kidon City. I promise you!"
He felt heartbroken as he leaned his chin against Jane's.
"Go to bed, Jane. Go to sleep. I'll watch over you. Sleep tight. Listen to me." He coaxed her, and bit by bit, he calmed her fears. It took him more than an hour of coaxing to get her to sleep. She fell asleep in his arms.
When Jane woke up at some point in the middle of the night, she saw that the man was still lying on his side, and her head was resting on his arm. He had not had a little shut-eye. That big hand of his was still inconsistently patting her.
Jane’s slender wrist covered his hand. "Alex, go to sleep.”
Alex smiled. "It's fine. I'll watch over you."
