To the Love of My Life

Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Syrup, Candy, Sugar (11)
 

No matter how bitter Steve felt deep down, he still didn’t refuse Ruby’s request and accompanied her to the mall. Then, he experienced what it meant to feel even more bitter.

Steve drove Ruby to the same upscale mall as yesterday. This time, the two didn’t wander around other floors but went directly to the top floor’s maternity and baby section.

What First-born and Second-born had, Third-born must also have. So, from pacifiers, baby bottles, to strollers, cribs, toys, and bed bells… Ruby wanted to buy everything all over again.

Baby items were all beautifully made, some were given by Steve to Ruby, and some were bought by Ruby during her pregnancy when she casually shopped. She had taken a long time to select them carefully, so this time, she didn’t need to agonize over choosing a style but just needed to pick one according to the style she had bought before.

At first, although Steve felt bitter about Ruby’s twins turning into triplets, he could still hold back his feelings and make himself look like nothing was wrong. But when he was helping Ruby choose small baby items, Ruby was looking for the type she had bought before on the goods rack while expressing her opinions to Steve: “Steve, it’s best if the babies’ things are all different colors, right?”

“I’ve previously bought yellow and blue ones, this time I’ll pick pink…” Ruby called the salesperson, took the pink pacifiers, baby bottles, and other small items according to the style she had chosen before, and then turned her head to Steve: “I chose yellow and blue initially because I think these two colors can work for both boys and girls. But now that I have three in my belly, there’s bound to be a girl among them, right…”

Steve gradually felt his mood becoming unsettled, trying hard to maintain his composure, but Ruby kept focusing on the things she wanted to buy for the third-born without noticing anything odd about him. She still mumbled from time to time, saying words that stung Steve: “If all three babies in my belly are girls, that’s fine… I’m most afraid of all three being boys because they’re naughty and hard to teach. They’re going to torture me in the future, but after I give birth this time, I will not consider having a second child. So, I’d prefer to have both boys and girls, two girls, one boy…”n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Ruby tilted her head and imagined the scene, then shook her head: “Still, two boys and one girl would be better. It’s best if the two boys are born first, so they’ll be brothers and will definitely spoil their little sister, right, Steve?”

With Ruby’s words, Steve’s mind conjured an image of Ruby and Edric, along with their three children together… Just thinking about it felt like it was tearing him apart.

Steve stiffly nodded at Ruby, swallowed a couple of times, and finally echoed her with a heavy heart: “Yes, two boys and one girl would be better.”

Ruby chose some baby clothes and small blankets, and also bought a few large packs of diapers, only picking bed bells, cribs, and strollers at the end.
