Jessie couldnt enjoy the food. Despite her discomfort with the spicy meal, Axel remained oblivious to her distress.

Doing dishes in the kitchen, Monica warmly invited Jessie to visit again.
Jessie responded with a smile. She broached a sensitive topic to Axel during their drive back. Axell, what if | cant conceive a boy? After Jessie had spoken her mind, Axell found himself lost in a daze.
Jessie mumbled, Its not that, Axel. But, lets face it, nobody can guarantee well have a boy What if it turns out to be a girl? Does that mean we keep trying till we get a son? She was crossing the thirty mark.
So Jessie wasnt keen on taking chances. If Axell and his folks were fixated on having a boy and favored

Jessie felt somewhat reassured hearing Axells words.
Leaning closer, Axell whispered, Did | pass the test? Jessie nodded casually. Kind of! When people in love were alone, their hearts craved kises and hugs.
So, Axell wrapped his arm around Jessie and murmured, Can | steal akis now? Todays events had put Jessie in a sour mood.
So she wasnt feeling too chipper.

Disappointed, he gripped the wheel, saying, Still mad? Ive said it before, we call the shots. Forget my folks views. And hey, more kids mean less quality of life. You think Im dumb enough for that? Jessie couldnt resist asking, What if we strike it rich one day? Will you push for more kids? Axell chuckled. Maybe when Im president of the hospital. He planted a gentle kis on her lips, not taking it seriously.
