Chapter: 4614
Olivia gently nudged her shoulder and teased, "That's why Edwin is so fond of you. You're just too cute!"

Eventually, Laura managed a shy smile.

Thinking of Dylan, Olivia continued with a bitter smile, “Maybe Dylan thinks I'm as naive as you are! But Laura, we're different, and I couldn't possibly remain naive and simple forever!"

Since her childhood, she had seen how Edwin took care of everyone in the family.

Without Edwin's sacrifices, she couldn't have enjoyed such a carefree life all these years.

She used to be pampered by Dylan.

She used to be so happy every day when they were together.

Yet, it was Dylan who left her, forcing her to grow strong and independent...

Olivia and Laura chatted into the late hours of the night.

Afterwards, Laura tiptoed back to her room, mindful not to disturb Edwin's sleep.

Yet upon entering, she was met with the sudden glare of the light.

Edwin, propped against the bed, fixed his gaze on her, clearly anticipating her arrival.

Laura awkwardly settled onto the bed beside him, obediently, but Edwin kept staring at her. Tentatively, she laid her hand on his firm abdomen, the touch light and gentle.

“What's got you so worried?" Edwin chuckled softly.

Laura confessed, "I'm concerned because of all the oysters you had today... I worry you might be in the mood tonight. Edwin, with Scott and Myrna, we already have our hands full. I'm not keen on having another child. Plus, you're not fond of using condoms whenever we're intimate."

She recalled how Edwin consistently brushed off her requests for condoms, often teasing about expanding their family.

But Laura had no desire to add to their family.

Edwin's heart softened at Laura's words, finding a hint of amusement in them. He pulled her into his arms, burying his face in her neck.

He murmured, "You silly girl! I always count the days."

He didn't bother with condoms because he was well aware of Laura's cycle.

Laura stared at him in disbelief, her eyes widening.

Edwin had never told her about that. Observing her reaction, Edwin continued with a faint smile, "By the way, I did indulge in a lot of oysters today. So what? I believe Marcus has consumed even more!"

He pressed a kiss to Laura's cheek before whispering softly, simply want to savor our time together, to catch up and reconnect.

In fact, Edwin had just returned from a business trip.
