“Honey, you're back! You must be very tired. It Looks like you had a really busy day," she greeted him as enthusiastically as a wife waiting all day long.

“Come on! I made some desserts for you. Go wash your hands."

Just as Yanny was about to enter the kitchen, her husband grabbed her hand.

Tam tried to adjust his emotions and as usual, began talking with a faint smile on his lips.

“I need to tell you something!"

“Sure? What is it?" She tucked her hair behind her ears and looked at her husband in confusion. This had never happened before.

“When I was on a business trip in Askor two days ago, I went to the welfare house for some charity-related work. There, I saw a little boy who had just been brought in. He's very cute and seems to be completely healthy. We wanted to have a boy in the past, but since you can't get pregnant, how about we adopt him?"

“Adopt a boy?' Yanny was shocked. Her mind went blank for a moment.

“But we already have Julianna... I think it's alright to have just a daughter. We're happy so far, right?" Although she couldn't give birth to a baby anymore, they already had a daughter who was grown up now.

She had desired to have a boy as well in the past, but she had given up on the idea after finding out she couldn't. She had never thought of adopting one though.

Tam let go of her hand, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Okay then. It doesn't matter. We won't adopt him if you don't agree."

He gave up so soon all the doubts in Yanny's heart disappeared. She smiled, "Actually, I never thought of adopting a child before today. I wasn't prepared when you mentioned this all of a sudden."

“Yeah but. It doesn't matter. It's just that my mother is so annoying; she insisted on us having a boy. I thought that if we adopted one, at least they won't nag you about it. But let's don't talk about it anymore if you don't want to." Tam nonchalantly took off his coat, handed it to his wife and went into the kitchen.

As she was taking his coat, it suddenly occurred to Yanny that her parents-in-law's desire for a grandson had taken some pretty weird shapes in the past. Once, her mother-in-law had even found a young girl to be their housemaid. On the surface, she had been a simple hired helper for the house. But in fact, her mother-in-law had just wanted to set the girl up with Tam, so that she could give her the grandson she wanted.

Luckily, the young girl had been driven away by Tam at last, but ever since then, Yanny's relation with her mother-in-law had become strained at best and non-existent at worst.

Remembering those efforts, Yanny hung Tam's coat on the hanger and went back to the kitchen.

"Hey honey, that boy... Just how cute is he?"

With his back still to her, Tam breathed a sigh of relief. Then he pretended to answer indifferently after a moment, "I hugged him before leaving; he was that cute! He's slightly chubby, and just has a single tooth at the moment. He looks adorable.”

After a moment's consideration, Yanny suggested, “How about... Well, since you like him so much, I'm sure I'll like him too. And since I don't have a job anymore now, why don't we go ahead and adopt him? I'm sure I'll be able to take care of him."

Tam turned around.

"The child was very popular, and I saw him two days ago. I wonder if he has been adopted already. But if you are okay with it, then I have no problem as well. I will send for someone to contact the welfare house."

"Alright. Let's do that tomorrow!" Yanny was eager to see the boy too since her husband Liked him so much. Who wouldn't want a cute baby?

"Okay."

Hiding the excitement in his eyes, Tam held her in his arms and gave her a soft kiss on the forehead.
