Chapter 127: Happiest Grandfather Alive
While Rain had hugged Alexander earlier, his thoughts drifted to how his father had started pestering him and William about marriage and giving him a grandson. His father would often say that he wasn’t getting any younger and that life was short—he wanted to experience being a grandfather before he passed away.
Now, it all made sense. His father’s cancer diagnosis had been the catalyst. That was when he began meddling in their personal lives, something he hadn’t done before. He had hidden his desire for grandchildren behind jokes.
Rain’s suggestions on how to proceed further were perfect, and it was a well-thought-out plan for handling the situation. But all Alexander could think about was making his father happy. He wanted to give his father everything he desired, to fulfill his wishes with all his might.
As he gazed at Rain, he subconsciously decided to give his father a grandchild, with Rain as his wife. Alexander didn’t know what came over him but he blurted out his thought of having a baby with Rain. Maybe it was desperation...
"What?!" Rain burst out, her eyes wide, lips parted in shock.
"I said, let’s have a baby," he repeated, his eyes never leaving hers.
Rain stared at him in disbelief. "Alexander, stop saying that like it’s some kind of joke. Do you even realize what you’re asking?" she burst out, still trying to process his words.
"But I’m serious Rain. My father is dying, Rain. I know exactly what I’m saying," he replied, his voice steady but laced with desperation. "He’s been pushing me to settle down, to give him a grandchild. Now I understand why. Give me a baby, Rain, and I won’t divorce you like you wanted."
Rain inhaled sharply, frowning at his bluntness.
