Revenge of the Hideous Lady (Xyla Quest)
Chapter 2299

Now, Rachel Wood felt very happy.

Sebastian Brenand smiled and held her hand. "Silly girl, I wanted to give you all those things because I love you. From now on, I will work even harder to be a good husband and father."

She nodded instantly, knowing he would do what he said.

"Also, don't bring up things like that again. I don't exactly have a pristine past, either. There is no reason for me to judge you. Also, even though you went through all those things, you're always the purest in my heart.

"Rachel, let's not talk about that again, okay? Leave it all in the past," he told her, knowing she would be sad whenever the sore subject came up.

So, he hoped she could forget all of it in time, despite knowing how traumatic the experience had been for her.

Rachel nodded and subconsciously tightened her grip on his hand.

When they returned home, Sebastian carefully carried her to the couch as if she was a fragile heirloom.

Once she was seated comfortably, he sat beside her and took his phone out to check on his WeChat to find that Stephen Harris had just sent him a reminder of things he needed to do during Rachel's pregnancy.

The message included a list of food to avoid, prompting him to make a mental note of everything as he read.

Beside him, she was also reading the message and tried to remember everything.

Then, he lowered his phone to gaze at Rachel. "It isn't easy being a pregnant woman. There are so many things to learn.

"Moreover being pregnant truly

poses a lot of risks. A single mistake could lead to the loss of two lives,"

he added, feeling sorry for her as he recalled what he read.

He swore he would protect her and ensure the safe delivery of their child.

She smiled. "Yeah, I heard Xyla and Georgie talking about it in the past."

"Rachel, thank you for having my child," he said solemnly.

"It's not just for you," she grinned in response. "It's for us. The child is mine, too."

"I still ought to thank you."

Rachel gently rested her head against his shoulder with a sweet smile. "Tell me, do you think our child would be a boy or a girl? Do you have a preference?"

"I don't mind as long as the child is from you he said. "All I care about is whether you can deliver the baby safely. I'm only concerned about your well-being during the pregnancy."

"I'm sure everything will go well. Honestly, most pregnant womenz can deliver their babies safely. Those who had complications like excessive bleeding or death are a minority," Rachel said.

"Even so, we still need to be careful," he insisted.

She nodded in agreement.

"Our child will take after your surname," he said a moment later, surprising her to hear that.

Children born in Country Z usually took their father's surname.
