Chapter: 760

Bethany hesitated, towel in hand. “No...”

“Am I only allowed to have your ?"

“That's not what I meant!"

The pain and possible inflammation tattoos might cause weren't worth it.

“I have just two kids, and I plan to get their birthday and names inked on me."

Bethany felt a pang of concern. “Why only two? You're still young.”

"Didn't I mention it last time?" He was seriously considering a vasectomy.

Bethany, prone to overthinking, would appreciate anything that brought her peace.

"No!" she blurted out. "I don't want you undergoing that surgery!"

"Why not?"

"Just... no! Why go for a procedure that'll change your life forever? You're the CEO of Bates Group. Your family has a legacy."

Jonathan fixed her with a deep look. "Nola and Rowan are enough. They're my kids.”

Bethany fell silent.

“What? Do you want more kids?"

Bethany frowned; she understood that this man was always true to his word. If he really underwent vasectomy, she couldn't help but feel responsible.

“Maybe. What if I change my mind later?"

Jonathan tried to gauge if she was serious. “Aren't two kids enough?"

"Your genes are excellent. Two just doesn't seem sufficient."

Jonathan sighed. “Bethany, I'm open to having as many kids as you wish, but I worry about your health."

He was fully aware of the toll childbirth could take on a woman's body.

While welcoming a new life was wonderful, Bethany's well-being was paramount.

“It sounds like you think I'm ready to start right now." Bethany had nearly finished drying his hair and was folding the towel. “Just promise me you won't go through with the surgery."

Jonathan nodded in agreement. "Alright, I'll listen to you."

As Bethany fetched something else to dry his hair, Jonathan's cellphone on the table started ringing.
