Since they had a child then, they could be considered to already have a successor!

Staring at him, Alicia couldn't help rolling her eyes again. She still wanted a daughter! She couldn't dress up her son! Not to mention, listening to what Frederick had planned, this child of theirs would suffer in the future. He wouldn't be spoiled at all! If Clinton had to carry the weight of the world on his shoulders, then he absolutely had to go through the rough! She had no objection to that.

That was why she still had to have a daughter!

Although she felt wronged during the pregnancy, but secretly in her heart, Alicia was still very touched. Those words were probably what she had heard the most in the past two months.

Therefore, that time, she was lazy to argue with him. "Okay, hubby, eat more! You have to protect both an adult and a child in the future. It's a heavy responsibility!"

She specifically ordered the kitchen to make him some bacon with a slightly heavier taste. She also helped him put a few pieces into his plate. He was very busy at work, so she hoped he could have a better appetite and eat more.

"It's almost the end of the year. Fortunately, this year won't be so difficult! Ally, I won't hide anything from you anymore or make decisions on my own, no matter good or bad. God has already given me two chances. I've probably used up all my luck even if I'm a lucky person! I used to think that I was strong, but the truth is, God is fair to everyone. I only have one life, and accidents can happen everywhere. I will try my best to protect you and Clinton. You have to be strong and wait for me at anytime. Do you understand?" He would not let any more accidents happen to her. That time, even death could not do them part.

Watching him change so clearly again and again, Alicia's heart was also surging with emotions. She had suffered a lot from the relationship, but so had he.

That time, Alicia took the initiative to hold his hand and spoke up.

"Hubby, I chose to be with you, so I am ready to deal with any situation! I don't hope for eternity, but as long as we spend each day together happily, it's enough! You are right. Birth, ageing, illness, and death are a fair trip arranged by God for everyone. The more we receive, the more we would go through as well. Anyway, we are now happier than anyone else!"

That was why no matter whether the future was good or bad, no matter what kind of hardships she had to experience, she could calmly accept them! Even if happiness was short-lived, and even if it was all to end right then, she would not regret that life of hers. Judging from his changes, Alicia thought that it was likely that he had already reached his tolerance limit after those two incidents.

Grinning, Alicia grabbed his hand with force and said, "Clinton and I will never leave you! Don't push us away either!"

"I won't! Never again!" He would never do anything stupid to push her away from then on. His woman must always be in his sight.

"Let's eat! The food is getting cold. If you don't eat, Clinton will wake up again soon..."

"Okay!"

Knowing what she was thinking, Frederick added some plain vegetables onto her plate, but he couldn't help murmuring.

"Why is it that the older he gets, the more disobedient he gets? He can recognize people now, and he's so attached to you. What if he exhausts you when he grows up? I hope Clinton will be smarter, and recognize people when he should. He shouldn't blindly recognize people that he shouldn't either! Ah..."

He sighed and remembered something. Frederick then continued, "In the next few days, I'll replace some young nannies!"

Considering the age, even if Clinton could recognize people, he likely wouldn't be able to differentiate people around the same age as Alicia!

After taking a bite of the meat, Alicia almost choked to death. "Cough, cough... No, I don't agree!"

"Huh?"

Frederick raised his eyes and Alicia rolled her eyes at him in an exaggerated fashion. "What if my hubby run away with someone else before I even get tired? Forget about it! You aren't allowed to get any young ones, not even if they are ugly!"

Didn't men always say that women were all the same once they turned off the lights? No matter how beautiful a woman was, as time went by, they would get bored! Those words from Alicia made him stop saying anything else that he wanted to say.

The truth was, he was mainly

concerned that he would be too

tired, which would lessen the time he could take to take care of his own child. Therefore, she had to think of some tricks to let the child be more attached to her. How could she let him make more troubles by replaceing a few young nannies?

Of course, Alicia would never tell him what she was thinking!

"Ally, how would I ever think of that? In my eyes, even a fairy can't compare with my wife, who's been with me through thick and thin. What's more, my wife is still as beautiful as a flower, shining like a diamond."

He just didn't want her to be too tired! Why had her thoughts wandered that far off? After all, she couldn't sleep all night then! In the past, she was a lazy little pig. She always slept until 10 o'clock on the weekend and would still took a nap in the afternoon. "I don't care. Anyway, I don't agree!"

She pouted and Frederick surrendered in an instant.

"All right, all right. Then I won't look for one for now. We'll do as you say! If I can't get up at night next time, you must call out to me for a few more times! Don't just..."

Sometimes, when he finally would stumble over sleepily, she had already come back to lie down.

"Come on, eat more! I specially hired a famous chef to stew the soup for you..."

After the meal, the two went back to the room together to see Clinton. On the sofa, Frederick slightly narrowed his eyes, and then cleaned up and went out. As for Alicia, she stayed at home most of the time because of the baby, and also because it was almost the end of the year.

In the blink of an eye, it was another

New Year's Eye. Based on the rules of the Clements family, almost all the descendants of the family were to gather together on that day. At noon, there were two big banquet tables being set up in the house. From afternoon till evening, they had arranged endless entertainment banquets to celebrate the new year.

Alicia had gained more freedom because she had a child. After eating, she went back to her room early to take care of Clinton. As for Mrs. Clements, because of her age, she also arranged for a rest time in the afternoon. Victoria brought her parents over and decided to accompany them in the afternoon. When night fell, almost traditionally, the whole family gathered in the hall.

In the room, Clinton had just woken up and Alicia helped him to tidy up his clothes slowly. Alicia was not in a hurry. Meanwhile, Frederick was accompanying her, and he was even more laidback.

He toyed with Clinton's little hand and said, "He's so young. I really don't want to bring Clinton downstairs, not even for a moment!"

However, Mrs. Clements had said that she wanted to take a family photo, and it was also a rare occasion where they were all gathered. It was indeed not a good thing for him to hide his child like that all the time. Perhaps Frederick was really being a little too cautious. Right then, he was like an old hen protecting his child. He wanted to cover his child under his wings, so no one could touch him or even see him. Knowing what he was worried about, Alicia looked at the apple of her eyes in her arms and spoke up while beaming.

"Don't worry. Well just walk around. It won't take long. I won't let Clinton leave my sight! Also, everything will be fine. We're at home!"

She didn't realize it before, but when she came back that time, she obviously noticed that there was a hidden danger behind the prosperity. Fortunately, she was outside during her pregnancy!
