Chapter 152 Zoey, Let's Have a Child

The next morning, I was woken up by Carter.

"Zocy, Zocy, wake up."

His voice was deep and pleasant, but I had been sleeping so well lately that even his voice couldn't pull me from my slumber.

When he saw that I wasn't responding, he lightly patted my cheek. I instinctively nuzzled into his hand, mumbling, "I want to sleep a bit more."

His breath brushed against my car as he spoke. Gome on, the Hudsons will be here soon. Don't you want to see the drama unfold?"

Oh right, today's going to be a show!

That thought jolted my mind awake, and I opened my eyes eagerly. Without thinking. I sat up in a hurry and accidentally brushed my lips against his cheek. Our eyes locked and my face flushed crimson. "S-Sorry I didn't realize you were so close."

He chuckled softly. "It's fine. You weren't waking up, so leaned in. Did you sleep well?"

"I've been sleeping great lately. Maybe it's because I'm not the type to have trouble sleeping in unfamiliar places."

Or perhaps it was because I had found a new beginning, Sleep became easier as I was always in a good mood. "Good. Now go wash up and have breakfast. The Hudsons will be here soon."

"Got it."

I happily threw back the covers and hopped out of bed. My enthusiasm, however, caused a sharp tug chest. "Ah-"I winced, frowning as a faint sting spread across my chest. It was a result of the fabric brushing against my skin. "What's wrong?" He looked at me with concern.

I shook my head. "It's nothing. I think my period is about to start. My body's just a bit sensitive."

I washed up and changed into my clothes in the bathroom. As I dressed, I noticed some redness and swelling.

After all, I remembered period cramps and chest pain were a monthly ordeal in my original body's teenage years.

This body seemed no different, so I didn't think much of it

I picked out a soft silk blouse, but even that smooth material caused faint discomfort.

I went out and put on some light makeup to brighten my appearance.

By the time I emerged, Carter had prepared a lavish breakfast, all tailored to my preferences. He waved to me at the table, "Come"

I took a seat across from him. "Why don't we eat with the others?"

"There are too many people. It's annoying.

He handed me a warm glass of milk. 'Drink some. You're still young and need to grow."

I muttered under my breath. "How am I still growing? Ill be 21 this year.

For a moment, I thought I caught his gaze flickering to my chest before he said in amusement, "Yes, you're certainly not small."

I nibbled on a pudding, savoring the soft texture. I've never been a fan of Western food, but for breakfast, I enjoyed things that were sweet and sticky.

Since graduating, my life has been a blur of work and social engagements, with little time for leisurely meals like this.

"Zoey, what do you think of me?" Carter suddenly asked

"You're great! Honestly, I was terrified of you at first, I mumbled as I chewed on the pudding.

"Why?"

"You always had this serious expression and your voice was so cold. Your presence was so overwhelming that it made me want to run."

In my past life, I never would've imagined having breakfast with Carter peacefully like this.

"And now?"

I finished another piece of pudding and answered, "Now, I'm not scared anymore. Carter, you're actually a very gentle person."

I smiled at him. "You're also responsible. You stood by my side and protected me all the time

"You're my wife. Protecting you is my

His eyes softened as he gazed at me. "But Zoey, I'm 33 this year. I want a child."

I was so shocked that I choked on the milk that I was sipping.

Some of it sputtered onto his chest. I hurriedly grabbed a napkin to wipe him down. "I'm so sorry! I didn'

Will you have a child with me when

He caught my hand and asked, "Zoey, you're older?"

His dark, deep eyes bore into mine, making my heart skip a beat. My cheeks grew unbearably hot.

This... This wasn't part of our ment!

Weren't toe supposed to be just a contract couple!

Hote did this suddenly turn into a plan for me to bear him an heirt

But from his perspective, it wasn't unreasonable.

It didn't matter if he had feelings for me or not-he needed an heir.

D'mn it, why hadn't I thought of this beforet

arrived.

Back then, I'd been so focused on using Carter to infiltrate the Boltons and exact revenge that I'd overlooked this critical detail.

"It's fine." Carter said softly. "You're still young. I can wait

"ready"

"Okay." I murmured, relieved that he wasn't pressing the issue. "Let me grab you a clean shirt."

"Alright."

The meeting with several families was approaching, and I couldn't let Carter go dressed in dirty clothes.

In the past, I had taken care of Luke's every need, so I was familiar with these matters. I picked out a white shirt for him, saying, "You can change after we finish eating."

Being with Carter wasn't so bad; he was considerate and respectful toward me.

It didn't matter whether he was disabled; what mattered was his sense of responsibility as a man.

Actions spoke louder than words.

Opce we were both dressed and ready, the Hudsons had already arrived, and I gently pushed Carter forward.

The living room was bustling with activity, filled with the weary faces of the Sanders, who likely hadn't slept well all night.

Ashley's injuries had been treated, but his face still bore bruises.

Sadie's dark circles were heavy.

I could tell that she had a sleepless night due to her haggard appearance.

Luke seemed telatively unaffected, the effects of the drug were mild. It had mostly been hallucinogenic, not a strong aphrodisiac.

Alisa, on the other hand, clung to his arm submissively like a dutiful wife.

My gaze finally landed on Anna. She sat there with a cold expression, saying nothing.

When her eyes met mine, they filled with venom, as if she was ready to transform into a vengeful spirit.

Great! I was glad to see them suffer

After all, I slept wonderfully last night..

The Hudsons arrived in a flurry of agitation.

When Anthony spotted Carter, he hurried over.

Perhaps recalling his past dealings with hiri, his attitude toward Carter was notably respectful

"Mr. Bolton, I've seen the video. What my son did was disgraceful. Whatever punishment you see fit, I won't object."

His voice turned icy as he addressed Ashley. "Kneel and apologize to Mr. and Mrs. Bolton."

Ashley dropped to his knees. Slap!Slap! Two sharp cracks echoed as Anthony's hand struck his son's face.
