Logan nodded. “That’s true. If it’s a boy, I can bring him out to expend some energy when I’m free.” With that start
of a conversation, the two of them continued discussing the topic at length, seemingly planning out their entire life
ahead.
After strolling around, they went back to the hotel whereupon Lola took a shower. Standing beside her, Logan
helped to blow-dry her hair. Then, he helped her with her pajamas. Lola was initially not sleepy at all, but she again
started yawning incessantly when she climbed into bed.
When Logan came out after washing up, she was already dozing off. Chuckling, he went over and switched off the
light, leaving only a dim light by his bedside. Lola had her back to him, but when he plastered himself to her, her
hand snaked back to push him away. “Keep your distance. I want to sleep peacefully by myself.” Her body was
stretched out in a slightly exaggerated posture. She felt knackered no matter how she changed positions on the

Groping for a bit under the covers, Logan then laughed. “What yoga pose are you doing?”
Lola rubbed against the pillow. “It’s comfortable to lie like this.” She occupied most of the bed, so Logan could only
squeeze to the side. Upon seeing that she even wanted to stretch her leg over the edge of the bed, he chuckled as
he pulled the covers over her.
Since he’d slept for half the day in the afternoon, he was certainly not sleepy now. Thus, he pillowed his head with
an arm and stared up at the ceiling. As he recalled the beautiful future they’d imagined while strolling outside, the
corners of his mouth lifted, and he just couldn’t help smiling. I’ve been living each day in a haze back then, never
once considering how I wanted to live the rest of my days. Now, however, it’s different. I’m filled with anticipation
for the future, and every day is meaningful. After lying there with his thoughts for a good while, he turned to gaze
at Lola’s back. “I’ve got us a flight tomorrow, but it’s not too early, so you can sleep in for a bit.” She didn’t reply, so
he leaned over after a brief contemplation, only to discover that she’d already fallen asleep. It takes her no time to
doze off. He then turned off the light on his side and scooted over to hug her before closing his eyes as well. It was
during the wee hours when he finally fell into slumber. As the flight tomorrow wasn’t at the crack of dawn, he slept
for a while. In the end, he was awakened by Lola. Sitting on the bed at his side, Lola looked down at him. “Wake up,
Logan. I’ve got something to tell you.” Logan squinted. “What is it?” Lola’s expression was a touch complicated
since she seemed to be smiling yet not, appearing all mysterious. Turning over, Logan lay on his back. “What is it
that you want to tell me?” Lola said nothing, merely whipping out the item she hid behind her back and placing it
before him.

It was something he bought yesterday. He’d scrutinized the packaging at that time, so he more or less recognized it
now. He was a tad stunned at first, but he snapped back to his senses in mere seconds and sat up instantly,
snatching it out of her hand. “Two lines?” The corners of her mouth tilted upward, Lola nodded. “Yup. It’s two
distinct lines.” The significance of this was plain as day. Logan stared at the item in his hand for ages before he
shifted his gaze to her. Then, he lowered his head again. Lola was the first to react, scooting closer to hug him. “Are
you happy?” For some inexplicable reason, Logan felt shaky all over that he didn’t quite dare hug her. “Of course,
I’m happy! How could I possibly be anything else?” Gently stroking her back, he then released his hold on her and
cupped her face, giving her a hard kiss. “I’m at a loss now. Tell me, what should I do now?” “You should get out of
bed to wash your face and brush your teeth now. We’ll pack our things, then we need to leave for the airport after
eating,” Lola replied with a smile. Logan hastily seconded her words. “We’re going home today. We’ll tell them the
good news when we arrive home today!” .
