Come on Daddy!

Chapter 390 Everyone Is Forcing Her to Have a Child

When Anika saw how frank Nora was, she did not speak in a roundabout way either. "You've had a good time in the Way family for the past five years. We liked you a lot, took care of you very well, and never made you feel aggrieved. So, Nora, shouldn't you think about what you can do for the Way family?"

"You two have been married for five years but don't have a child. There are rumours everywhere. Every time your dad and I attend banquets or events, those people either bring the conversation around children or hint that you two aren't healthy. Your dad and I could only fob them off.

I've never told you about these things, and I don't want to put too much pressure on you, but it's been five years. Alan and you aren't young anymore and have reached the age to become a parent.

So, Nora, I hope that you can give birth to Alan's child and descendant. It would also stop the rumours. Only by having a child would Alan grow up, realize what responsibility is, and take on responsibility. This is beneficial to the two of you no matter what. There's no harm to it."

Nora quietly listened to Anika's words and concluded that Anika wanted her to take the initiative to have a child.

"Mom, we don't need others to judge our lives, and we can't live for others." Nora's voice was neither loud nor quiet and neither haughty nor humble. "It's our life and marriage. We live the way we want. Mom, you really don't have to worry about this too much."

"How can I not worry? You are both my children, and your dad and I want to have a grandson earlier," Anika held Nora's hand and spoke with sincerity.

"Mom, my oldest brother, second oldest sister, and fourth oldest sister all have children. You are already a grandma. Alan and I have our thoughts and plans. Mom, I hope you and dad can respect us."

Nora felt a little guilty because there was no way for her and Alan to have a child in their contractual marriage. Alan and she would not be able to fulfill their wish.

"Of course, we respect you. We've given you five years of freedom." Anika frowned slightly. "Tell me. Is it Alan, that jerk, who doesn't want to have a child? If that's the case and you tell me, then your dad I as well as grandpa will help you."

"Mom, he didn't."

"Really?"

"Really, no." Nora shook her head.

"If not, then why don't you have a child?" Anika could not figure it out.

At this moment, Hazel looked back at them and interjected, "Nora, I have something to say. If you think I'm right, then remember what I said. If not, then don't be offended."

"Hazel, please tell me." Nora was already mentally prepared.

"People say that children are the bond between husband and wife. Having a child can enhance the relationship between husband and wife and build a more secure relationship. It gives your significant other a sense of family responsibility," Hazel suggested.

Nora also knew of those sayings, but this method did not apply to their marriage.

"Hazel is right. Alan should grow up. You can't fool around like this anymore. Nora, please help him," Anika said.

Nora looked at Anika's longing and expectant eyes, but she knew that there was nothing she could do.

"Mom, I..." Nora did not know how to answer.

Was this something she could help with? Would she be helping by giving birth to a child?

Nora's words were interrupted by Hazel. "Nora, you don't have to rush to give us an answer. You can think about it for a while. Give it some careful thoughts before you tell mom."

"Yes, yes, yes, you can think about it. No rush. No rush." Anika patted her hand again and did not continue the topic.

Nora looked out of the car window worriedly.

It seemed that the conversation about her child would be ongoing for a while.

Nora accompanied Anika and Hazel to go shopping. They bought a lot of clothes, ate Western food for lunch and went to a spa in the afternoon... Afterward, Nora told them that she was going home.

Rose chuckled and shook her head, "You are just stubborn and reluctant to admit it. Mr. Way obviously treats you quite well."

And so, Nora parted ways with Anika and Hazel. She found a cafe and sat down under a parasol on the side of the road to relax.

She immediately called Rose and said, "Rose, are you free today? Let's have a drink together."

"Okay. I happen to have something to ask you." Rose smiled lightly.

"We think alike and have an almost telepathic connection." Nora sighed faintly. "See you at the restaurant."

Nora quietly enjoyed two hours of teatime before she drove to Noraby Restaurant.

"Hello, Ms. Cooper," Employees all greeted Nora when they saw her.

"Hello." Nora waved at them. "Don't mind me. Go ahead with your work."

Nora went upstairs. The restaurant manager came upon hearing of her arrival. "Ms. Cooper, what can I do for you?"

"Open my private dining room and prepare some food." Nora raised her wrist and checked her watch. "Start serving at 6 o'clock."

"Okay."

"And my friend is Rose Linder, Ms. Linder, who was here last time. When she arrives, have someone lead her upstairs," Nora added.

Nora entered her private dining room, which was never open to others and was only reserved for herself and her friends.

After the manager went in and opened the floor-to-ceiling curtains, rays of warm light from the setting sun fell into the room. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.

The soft light fell on Nora's face, making her look gentle and beautiful.

Rose arrived at 5:40 PM. "Nora."

"Sit." Nora pointed to the opposite side.

Rose walked over to put her purse down and sit.

Nora poured a glass of lemonade and pushed it in front of her.

"You are asking me for more than a drink." Rose held the warm glass in both hands.

"Alan's parents are urging us to have children," Nora talked about her problem with a reluctant expression on her face. "You know that Alan and I aren't in that kind of relationship. We can't give birth to a child. Rose, what do you think I should do? I'm very worried."

"I really can't help you with this problem," Rose shrugged lightly, suggesting that she could not help her. "I suggest you and Alan have a discussion. This isn't trivial."

"I've discussed with Alan." Nora rubbed her sore temples with her fingertips. "I can only file for divorce, but he disagreed. He said that he would solve this problem and would not make me feel aggrieved. But even if I filed for divorce, my parents wouldn't agree to it. But what can he do?"

"Since Mr. Way said he would deal with it, he should have a plan, so don't worry about it right now." Rose took a sip of lemonade. "But Mr. Way didn't force you to have a baby and still considered your feelings. He took responsibility, and that makes him a man."

"I have an agreement with him. We would get married but we wouldn't have a child," Nora said frankly. "This is a problem that he should solve. It has nothing to do with whether he's being a man."
