GoodReadAfter saying congratulations to Raymond, Jake pursed his lips and asked, "But | remember you don’t like children." They all knew that Raymond had no good feelings towards children.
But they had no idea whether he really had no interest in children or simply didn't want to bring up his own child.
Since his father Zacharie was a playboy, Raymond didn't grow up in a stable and loving environment. Although he was a mature man now, he always had a hole in his heart, for his own family had never brought any joy and warmth to him.
When Raymond and Scarlett got married for the first time, his friends once asked him why he had no plan to have a baby with Scarlett. Although he didn't love Scarlett back then, he had no intention of divorcing her, and since life was so long, it was better to have a child of his own.
This question was brought up by Alexander. After all, it didn't matter whether people of their social status got married or not, but they must have their own children.
If they had no descendants, no one would inherit the family business.

At that time, Raymond just said "I don't like children”, but he didn't explain why.
However, his friends saw that Raymond wore a sullen expression when saying this.
Stephen had a cousin who was very clingy to him, and he once brought her to their party. The little girl was just over three years old, and she looked quite adorable.
Among so many people present, Raymond had the worst temper, but to everyone's surprise, Stephen's cousin took the initiative in asking Raymond to hug her.
She was such a lovely girl that anyone who saw her would become soft-hearted.
But Raymond remained indifferent. After taking a glance at Stephen, he directly walked away.
Stephen's cousin cried on the spot, and Alexander also said Raymond had gone too far.
Without saying anything, Raymond just sat at the bar with a glass of red wine in his hand. After a long time, he said, "Children are too annoying." Alexander was amused, and he asked, ” Since you hate children so much, how will you treat your own children in the future?” Raymond's face turned cold in an instant." | won't have children!" However, out of everyone's expectations...
After about four years, Scarlett was pregnant with Raymond's child.
Hearing Jake's words, Raymond remained silent for a moment, but he didn't answer this question. "Don't tell others for the time being." Jake was not as cheeky as Alexander. Since Raymond refused to answer the question, he stopped asking him.
"Don't worry. It's better for you two to announce this matter in person." "Thanks for your understanding.” "You're welcome.
After hanging up, Raymond turned to look inside the room.
Scarlett was looking down at the inspection report in her hand. The smile on her face was gentle and sweet.

Raymond believed that Scarlett would become a good mother.
But it was hard to say whether he would be a qualified father.
He really didn't like children. When his father remarried Jean, Tiffany and Thomas were just over three years old.
Raymond was five and a half years older than them. Actually, it was not a big age gap. When Tiffany and Thomas first entered the Shaw family, they didn't have ill feelings towards Raymond. Instead, they liked to follow him everywhere and even call him "brother".
But Raymond didn't like them at all. This was because they not only clung to him, but also liked to stay with Zacharie and call him "dad". Their soft and sweet voice annoyed Raymond a lot.
Later, when Raymond looked at the warm and harmonious life of his father, stepmother, Tiffany and Thomas like a bystander, his dislike for children deepened, especially for those who were good at pleasing adults.
But now Scarlett was pregnant, and he was going to be a father.
Raymond was not as happy as he had imagined, because in the near future, his child would share Scarlett's love with him, and he would no longer be Scarlett's most beloved person.
