Imperfect Desires

Chapter 974 - A Peaceful Talk

"Is Li bro really not planning on getting married?" inquired Darren from his wife.

Xiu shook her head, "He didn't say that he won't get married in the future. He just said he has no right person for now. Although I know he is being cautious this time around, I still hope he doesn't give up"

Darren cuddled with his wife on the couch as he said, "I believe he won't. He is a smart person. He doesn't take decisions on a whim. So, you're right, it'll indeed take him a while to find a partner." He hesitated for a minute before telling her, "I learned from Li bro that Mr. Liu Mingfan is still staying by Chen Hana's side."

Xiu paused for a moment when she heard that, "But didn't everyone say she'll never wake up again?"

"Yes," he answered. "There is indeed no hope that she'll ever wake up again. However, Mr. Liu is not willing to give up. I believe that's the only hope he is living for."

Xiu thought about it before voicing out her opinion, "He believes he is responsible for everything that she went through. He can't accept that. So, he's punishing himself by staying by her side for as long as she is breathing."

"I also think that's the case," Darren also agreed with this point.

"But we can only pray for better days," said Xiu. "I don't think any one of them deserves to go through this torture. Neither can they face death nor are they able to live again. It's actually really sad if you think about it."

"Don't tell me you're thinking about writing a tear-jerking story from this."

"No," Xiu denied almost instantly as if she was trying to hide anything.

Darren laughed at her response but his laughter wasn't really pleasing to hear right now. "Do you think I don't know that you gave a script to Bohai?"

"That..." Xiu pursed her lips. "That's old stuff. I just edited it a little and gave it to Bohai to see if he wants to try it or not."

"Sweets, how do you even find time to do so much?" he inquired curiously. He really wanted to know how she always found time to do so many things in a day. She couldn't stay with only one thing since she'll get bored of it.

The only thing consistent in her life was her sleep. She was still deeply attached to her sleep and no one can tear her apart from her first love that belongs to sleep!

"Ah! I forgot to tell you," Xiu suddenly recalled something. "Mama is moved to the hospital. Her delivery will be on one of these days. So, make sure you take some time for that."

Darren gulped when he heard that, "How about I wait at home and prepare everything here?"

Xiu gave him a look, "My Regan is traumatized? Who told you to insist on staying by my side during the delivery?"

Darren scratched his head sheepishly, "I didn't think it will leave such a deep mark in my memory." He still wasn't able to forget the condition in which he saw Xiu. There was blood, there were her screams. There was also her sweaty and pale face that he could never forget. The moment he saw how difficult it was to bring a child into this world, he was horrified.

It was truly a battle of life and death. In the process of giving birth to a new life, the life of the mother might not be guaranteed. Just how scary was that?

He could never forget any of that.

"You'll still have to go to the hospital," said Xiu. "You won't be staying by her side. For that, we have Uncle Han. We just have to wait outside patiently for your younger brother to come to this world." She poked his cheek and asked, "Baobei, are you happy? You're gonna get a younger brother?"

"I'm very happy," he said without any hesitation. "Even though my brother is gonna be even younger than my own son but it doesn't matter. I'll still love him all the same. Or perhaps, even more!"

"Momma!"

Darren rolled his eyes when he heard that baby voice calling out.

"Here comes our trouble!"

"Well, we brought this trouble to the world," reminded Xiu.

"That's why I said, it's OUR trouble!"

Xiu was laughing out loud when Rowan ran inside and seeing his parents cuddling, he used his small legs and arms to get onto the couch as he announced, "I also want huggies!"

He fell on his parents and rolled over trying to hug them both at the same time. But how was that possible with his small arms? But he was also very persistent. No matter what, he had to give his best!

"My little ancestor, don't you want to sleep for a little longer?" asked Darren.

"Baba just wants to spend more time with Momma," Rowan instantly revealed his father's thoughts. "You don't have to spoil little tiger by asking him to sleep in. Have you seen the sun? It's already waving down people!"

"What kind of a son are you? You don't even want your father to spoil you?" Darren picked him up with his hands and lifted him up. Rowan giggled at being so high up. When he was put down, he wrapped his arms around his father's neck and gave him kisses all over his face. "Oh, now you're trying to bu??er me up."

"No," Rowan flatly denied this accusation. "I just love Baba a lot."

"More than you love your Momma?"

Rowan stared at him, "Baba, you shouldn't play this game. Momma says this is the worst game in the world. How can you ask a kid to pick between his parents? It's inhumane! I love both of you the most."

Darren gave his wife a look and smiled lovingly. She really said all sorts of things to Rowan. Whether he understood it or not didn't matter. But Xiu would never baby talk with him. Perhaps, that's why this kiddo was turning out to be so sharp.

He kissed his son's head and said, "Baba loves you and Momma the most as well."
