It was getting late. Tiffany did not want to fool around with him anymore. She returned to the bedroom and fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. To have food in one’s belly and a good night’s sleep after a long day of work was the greatest kind of happiness.
Jackson, however, was determined not to give her any peace. “There’s one more thing left to do.”
She was close to flipping out. “People are supposed to be completely relaxed when trying to conceive, right? I’m exhausted every single day. Even if I do conceive, it wouldn’t be a healthy child. I just want to sleep. Behave yourself!”
How could he possibly behave himself? He continued trying to persuade her. “Don’t be like this… I’ve already given up smoking and alcohol, and now, you’re telling me to behave myself? I can’t do it. If you’re tired, you can stop working overtime starting tomorrow, and get ready for your pregnancy. You can always visit Arianne or Tanya when you have time. That way, you can relax and cheer up, right?”
Tiffany was slightly moved. After days of working overtime and coming home to have sex, she felt as though she was about to collapse from exhaustion. No one would accuse her of being lazy if she stopped working overtime because she was preparing to conceive, right? She smiled. “Fine. If I don’t conceive after all the sex, I’m going to punch you!”
Jackson did not take her threats seriously. No one could guarantee these things anyway. It was not like one could get pregnant just because one wanted to. It was all uncertain. “I’ll do my best and increase my efforts!”
He was just about to get to the main point when his phone suddenly rang.
Tiffany was disappointed and irritated, kicking him away. “Go. Answer your phone. Don’t disturb me.”
He got up helplessly and picked up the phone before walking out. When he saw it was a call from Mark, he could not really complain. “Mark? Why are you calling at this hour? My woman nearly killed me with a kick because of you…”
Mark sounded sullen at the end of the line. “What do you do when your woman refuses to let you get in bed with her?”
Jackson chuckled. “Arianne won’t let you get in bed with her? Just wear her down. In any case, it’s not like you can do anything now. If you ask me, there’s no difference if you sleep together or not. You’d only be a nuisance if you sleep together now.”
