Zhu Luxi said decisively, "I can have your child, but you must promise never to leave me." Having been through one marriage, she knew all too well how fickle men could be, and she feared being abandoned. Chen Mu smiled, stroked her flushed cheek, and said gently, "Don't worry, I will be responsible for you until the end."
To be honest, women possess a remarkable ability to adapt. Zhu Luxi had originally thought she would be indecisive about having another child, but she hadn't expected to let go of her concerns so quickly. She no longer fretted over whether her daughter, Isabelle, would accept a new baby. She used to think she needed her daughter’s consent, but under Chen Mu’s influence, that thought had vanished entirely.
Zhu Luxi was terrified of the unknown and the pressures of the future, but fortunately, she had met the capable Chen Mu. If she had missed this opportunity, who knows how long she would have had to wait? Besides, Chen Mu was genuinely handsome, and most women liked handsome men; Zhu Luxi was no exception. Had she not been married at the time, she might have fallen for him long ago. Now, all obstacles were gone, and she could pursue her happiness without restraint.
