Yes, she had once said she loved little kids.
They could have children of their own–maybe a few.
He could become a father soon!

Just picturing two or three kids who looked like him or her, running around and calling him “Dad,” filled John’s cold, distant eyes with rare warmth.
Back when she used to talk about the future, about having two or three kids after they got married, he had always responded indifferently, as if he didn’t really care.
But the truth was–he had always longed for a home.
A warm home, with her, and their children.
John was completely lost in the thought when his phone suddenly rang.
He thought it was Lily calling, and warmth instantly spread across his face like sunlight melting winter frost.
But when he saw it was Elsa on the caller ID, a flash of disappointment crossed his eyes.
Still, it was late–if Elsa was calling him now, it had to be something urgent. He answered anyway.
“Elsa, what’s wrong?”
John…”
Elsa’s voice was thick with helplessness and panic. “I just got home from the hospital. After I got into the neighborhood, a man started following me. I’m alone at home now, and I’m really scared. John, what should I do?”
Tomorrow, he and Lily were supposed to go register their marriage, They’d have to take a photo for the certificate, and he wanted to look decent.
He had hoped to go to bed early tonight..
It was already late, and he really didn’t want to go out.
But if he didn’t, Elsa might get overwhelmed with fear–or worse, something might happen to her. After a moment of silence, he said, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll come over now.”
Tonight, trending alongside the full video of Lily slapping Mathilda was another clip–posted by Nancy.
Sixteen years ago, when Nancy had gone to the orphanage to adopt Lily, her assistant had taken a short video of her interaction with Lily.
In the video, she held Lily’s soft, chubby little hand, her face glowing with tenderness. Lily, I’ve already asked Ji Bai to handle the adoption paperwork. From now on, you’re my daughter:

Six–year–old Lily was sweet and adorable beyond words.

The more Nancy looked at her, the more she liked her. She couldn’t help but pull her into a hug. “I finally have a daughter. I’m so happy!
Blanc was famously obsessed with his wife.
He knew childbirth was dangerous–like stepping through the gates of death.
Even though the Luke family was wealthy and powerful, and he had hired the very best OB–GYN for Nancy, he still hated the idea of her risking her life repeatedly.
But Nancy had always wanted a daughter. He couldn’t say no. That’s how they ended up with three sons in
When she was giving birth to their third son, Ivan, she fell and nearly died. Blanc was terrified. No matter how much she begged after that, he refused to let her get pregnant again.
But Nancy still longed for a daughter. In the end, she chose to adopt one from an orphanage.
At that orphanage, she spotted Lily at first glance. Once she picked her up, she couldn’t help but stroke her soft little face.
“Lily, you’re so adorable. Raising a daughter is way more fun than raising those smelly boys. I’m going to buy you the prettiest princess dresses, diamonds, gold… I’ll dress up my little Princess Lily every single day!”
“Nancy…”
In the video, after hugging Lily for a while, Nancy pulled out a diamond hairclip she had prepared in advance and clipped it into Lily’s hair.
As she was ridying Lily’s hair, a sobbing Luna suddenly appeared and stood in front of her.
“I really like Lily too… Mathilda is gone. I might never see her again. I really want a daughter… Nancy, I’m begging you–please let me adopt Lily instead?”
The video ended with Nancy giving in and agreeing to let Luna adopt her.
-After posting the clip, Nancy also released a statement on her personal account
“There was never a case of someone stealing another’s child. Lily’s biological parents were extremely upright and accomplished artists. They never switched anyone’s children. Mathilda’s disappearance at age six had nothing to do with Lily. Lily never stole Mathilda’s life. After Lily’s parents passed away. I was going to adopt her. But my college roommate Luna got down on her knees and begged me, saying she felt a connection with Lily. Out of pity, I softened and gave her up. I believe if I had adopted Lily, she would’ve had a far better life than the one she got with the Ginger family. After their real daughter came back, the Ginger family cut ties with Lily completely. The money they spent on her over the years–she’s already paid back double. Lily owes nothing to that cold and selfish family, and even less to Mathilda! Mathilda being kidnapped was a tragedy But if she wants to blame someone, blame the traffickers, blame the buyers, blame the parems who lost her–not Lily. What she’s doing now is bullying the weak, twisting the truth, and slandering an innocent person. She’s sick.”
