Chapter 1561

"I'm a big girl now. I should totally take care of the baby!' Ivy declared, pressing her cheek against Paige's tummy.

This time, she distinctly felt a gentle kick from the baby inside.

"The baby moved!" Ivy was overjoyed.

"She's been moving a lot lately, but you're never around!" Paige boasted.

Ivy leaned against Paige's belly again, feeling another kick.

Is the baby saying hi to me?" Ivy's eyes twinkled. This was her first encounter with an unborn baby.

She never thought it would be such a magical feeling.

"Of course!" Paige replied, looking at Cory, "Do you want to listen too?"

Cory hesitated but slowly descended the stairs.

Paige took his hand. Cory glanced at Paige, then carefully pressed his ear to her belly.

Soon, he distinctly felt something roll around in Paige's stomach.

Cory's eyes lit up in surprise. After Paige's pregnancy, he had watched animations about how an embryo develops into a baby.

But experiencing the baby's presence so directly was just too incredible.

"How does it feel?" Paige asked, her eyes shining.

"It feels... it feels amazing."

Yes, Cory's strongest feeling was amazement.

The joy of connecting with a new family member for the first time.

Hearing this, Paige's pregnancy hormones kicked in. She teared up, "Then can you promise me one thing?"

"Sure!" Cory nodded.

"Paige hasn't even said what it is yet! You're going to get tricked so easily!" Ivy warned him.

Paige couldn't help but chuckle.

Ivy knew her too well!

Paige's eyes sparkled, "If the baby in my belly is a girl, would you want to be my son-in-law in the future?"

"Paige!" Rosalynn's tone was a mix of reluctance and warning.

Cory was stunned.

Ivy was also stunned for a moment, but then her eyes gradually lit up.

"Sure!" she blurted out.

Thank God! The thing that had been bothering her was suddenly resolved!

If the baby married Cory, then she wouldn't have to worry about Cory turning out like Jaime!

Paige was very pretty, her husband was super handsome, so this baby would definitely be beautiful!

"Why are you so happy?" Paige asked with a smile, "What if it's a boy, would you want to be my daughter-in-law?" Ivy's smile froze.

Then, she maintained basic politeness and said, "No way. I want to freely choose my love!"

"Ivy, doesn't your brother need to freely choose his love too?" Rosalynn was all smiles, seizing the opportunity to ask.

Ivy muttered, "Mom, you don't understand! Dad understands! Right? Dad, you know what I mean, right?"

Wayne was suddenly thrust into the conversation.

"Dad?" Rosalynn looked at Wayne, curious.

Wayne nodded, "I guess I do."

"Dad is the one who understands the most!" Ivy declared confidently.

"You guys are so boring. Whether the baby is a boy or a girl, who he or she marries is not for you adults to decide." Cory stated seriously, "We live in modern times. You shouldn't act like conservatives and arrange marriages. That's wrong."

The adults were all speechless by his sudden seriousness.

"Goodnight." Cory politely said goodnight, then prepared to head upstairs.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something.

"You'd better not bring up the baby's gender again. I'm afraid you might accidentally let it slip in front of Grandpa Scott. He'd be devastated."
