It is precisely because I am deeply loved that I am not afraid of the world

"It's just your child..."

Lu Jiu fell silent, and even Roger stopped talking. The two looked at each other. Roger's eyes looked at Lujiu with full of passionate love, but also with determination as if he had already made up his mind. Lujiu understood what he meant and just comforted him helplessly. She smiled gracefully, stretched out her hand to hold his, and transferred the warmth of her palm to his.

Roger squatted down in front of her, put his palm on Lujiu's abdomen and felt it carefully. Suddenly, he seemed to feel something moving under his hand, and he shouted excitedly to Lujiu: "Lujiu!! Look, The kid kicked me!!"

Saying this, Roger stood up again, hugged Lujiu from behind, and murmured in her ear: "It's so nice to meet you!"

Lu Jiu laughed out loud and gave him a scolding look: "Really, why do you say such things in front of your children?" However, even though she said this, there was a deep gentle smile in her eyes.

Looking at this scene with countless pink bubbles, Vivian blinked and didn't quite understand what this atmosphere was. Just as she was trying to figure it out, the ghost girl suddenly walked up to her and spoke cautiously. : "Um...can I hug you?"

"Eh?!" Vivian was confused by this strange request. She looked at the girl's translucent body strangely, wondering whether she could touch her or not. But when Vivian looked at her face, there was always a voice in her heart urging her loudly: Promise her, promise her!

So Vivian thought about it seriously and nodded. However, she seemed to be about the same age as her. Although she was taller than her... she was still of the same age. People of the same age kept using honorifics, which made Vivian always Feeling a little embarrassed, "No need to use honorifics to me, you look as old as me."

Then Vivian walked up to her and hugged her gently, "Nice to meet you." This is the etiquette of new friends, Mr. Reilly told her.

So, are they friends? Vivian thought this, and then felt the girl put her head on his shoulder, with a happy tone: "I'm also...nice to see you!"

Actually, we really don’t need to use honorifics, Vivian thought a little shyly.

Lujiu withdrew her gaze from Vivian and the others, and then put it back on Ace. She looked at her child tenderly, not missing the flash of loneliness in his eyes, so she pulled Roger away and stood up. , hugged him gently, then reached out and touched his black hair, the fingertips were as gentle as dew, "What about you? Are you happy to see me?"

Although she didn't know what happened to her child when he grew up, the look in her eyes that made her feel distressed always made her want to give him more and more. She almost knew about Roger's decision, and Roger would never hide anything from her.

From the moment she decided to be with Roger, she was ready to face all hardships. She loved Roger, even if Roger's identity as the Pirate King might hurt her.

However, she always felt that she and Roger might not be a competent pair of parents, otherwise this child...

"Was my birth...right?"

Ace's slightly trembling voice made Lujiu's heart ache slightly, but she told him without hesitation: "Of course!"

"Ace, Roger, Vivian, and I have wholehearted love and expectations. All of us are looking forward to the birth of the lovely Ace!!" Lujiu looked at her lovingly. Big boy, this is her child. It's so good. He has grown up so much. Maybe he has found his own happiness? !

"No Roger," her older boy retorted.

"Okay, okay!" Lu Jiu echoed his words. At this moment, even if her child said that his father was not Roger, she would give him a positive answer without hesitation. As for Roger's mood, Huh~ He has already decided to do that anyway, shouldn't a child lose his temper or something like that? !

However, Lu Jiu looked at the girl who was acting coquettishly in Vivian's arms. This girl should be Vivian's child, right? Lu Jiu guessed that her intuition was always very accurate, and Ace seemed to be very close to her... So, this must be her daughter-in-law! Lu Jiu's eyes lit up. She looked the girl up and down and nodded with satisfaction.

She couldn't be more satisfied to have Vivian's child as her daughter-in-law!

Thinking like this, Lujiu pulled Ace, smiled and said to Vivian and the girl in her arms: "Vivian, I think they are probably hungry. Let's go cook something for them."

"it is good!"

Several people returned to the room together. Roger, who was left out in the cold, touched the back of his head and followed him in. As soon as he reached the door, Lujiu stuffed him with a vegetable basket: "Roger, go to the town to buy some jam." and meat.”

Roger carried the vegetable basket and went shopping for groceries.

In the house, Lujiu was cooking, and Vivian was helping her. The girl also stepped forward to help. Vivian turned to look at her for a while, and the tangled look made the girl start to get nervous, and then Vivian Suddenly he said: "What is your name?"

"Ah?" The girl was stunned for a moment, but then she reacted, hesitated for a while, and said, "My name is... An." After saying that, she stared at Vivian's expression closely, and her palms began to sweat.

"Ann?" Vivian raised her chin and looked thoughtful. Under the increasingly nervous gaze of the other party, she pointed at the strawberries put aside and said, "You can go with me to wash these strawberries. Sister Lujiu said she would make strawberry cake for you to eat."

After saying that, Vivian stepped forward and hugged the basket with strawberries, then walked in front and went to the back of the house.

An quickly followed.

The two of them washed quickly, and in a short while they had washed most of it. While washing, Vivian took out a big red strawberry and handed it to An, and said sheepishly: "Do you want to eat it?"

"Thank you... thank you." I don't know why, this girl named An always shows some shyness and inexplicable respect in front of Vivian.

"You're welcome~" Mr. Reilly said, if you accept the gift, it means they are good friends!

After washing the strawberries, the two of them walked in again and saw a young man named Ace kneading dough awkwardly at the table, with flour all over his face. When he saw them walking in, or to be precise, when he saw someone walking in, his eyes immediately lit up, and he quickly asked for help: "An! Come and help me..."

Vivian and An looked at each other, and An stepped forward helplessly, reaching out to wipe off the flour on his face. Then she saw the way he kneaded the dough, and couldn't help but reach out and poke his chest: "Really, Ace, your method is completely wrong!"

"Ah! Is there any? I feel pretty good!"

In response to Ace's inexplicable self-esteem, An looked at the dough that looked like mud, shook her head and sighed, picked up the flour on the side and poured some into it, then stretched out her hand to knead the dough, facing him while kneading it. Said: "You added too much water, if you want to do this..."

Vivian put the strawberries on the table on the other side. Lujiu glanced at her with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, Vivian. Let's put them there first. Let Roger cut the strawberries when he comes back."

"Okay! Then I'll help Sister Lujiu do the other things."

"Then please."

With the joint efforts of several people, the dinner was very sumptuous, including not only the barbecue made by An, but also a lot of Lujiu's craftsmanship, and there was also dessert, a big strawberry cake.

Roger bought wine and wanted to have a big drink with his "son", but Aisley ignored him, so Roger could only drink most of the wine alone, and then was beaten by Lu Jiu. "The smell of alcohol was too strong" and I rushed to the sofa to sleep.

Ann and Vivian slept together, and Lujiu packed up a spare room and put a folding bed in it as Ace's bed.

It was a rare peaceful night, provided of course that the snores of Roger and Ace were ignored...
