Chapter 121: Chapter 121 Transition
"Oh..." Abigail Perry withdrew her words sheepishly, perhaps feeling guilty towards her daughter, she now catered to her quite a bit, "Yes, yes, it doesn’t matter if it’s a girl or a boy, as long as it’s Emily’s child, Mom will like it."
Emily Ginger glanced at her for a moment, then fell silent again. Her gaze landed on the tiny clothes displayed on her phone screen, imagining her child wearing these clothes in the future. Her previously empty eyes now had a trace of brightness.

After Daisy Ginger and Edward Stephens reconciled, they moved out of the house.
Daisy didn’t want to live with her mother-in-law after getting married, so she suggested that the two of them live together in her villa in the city center.
When this proposal came up, Edward hadn’t even expressed his opinion yet before Lady Stephens strongly opposed it.
She said, "If Daisy doesn’t want to live at our house, Edward and I will move to your house instead."
"..."
"I don’t care, I want to live with Daisy anyway. If Daisy wants to live in the city center, then I’ll move there too."
Edward: "..."
Daisy: "..."
Edward’s mother...
Even more challenging than Edward.
After much discussion and persuasion, Lady Stephens finally agreed to let Daisy and Edward enjoy their couple’s world, but insisted they return to the Stephens family home to accompany her two days a week.
For Edward, he didn’t mind where he lived. Given that he didn’t have anything important in Banyan City, moving just meant changing which bed to sleep in.
Daisy, on the other hand, was excited for quite a while upon hearing Edward agree to move out with her. She hugged him and kissed him for a good while, her eyes and lips full of smiles.
A week later, Edward moved into her villa, and the two officially began their cohabitation.
Being able to see each other as soon as she got home gave Daisy plenty of motivation after work, reducing her need for overtime.
Living together allowed her to understand Edward’s personality better and better.
For instance, he’s actually quite a quiet person. The things he does most at home are reading original foreign language books or watching various international news. She flipped through his bookshelf and marveled at the breadth of his interests. He seemed proficient in many languages, not just French and English. There were also many texts she had never even seen on the bookshelf.
He seldom went out and didn’t leave early or return late. Although she had no idea what he was doing now, he clearly wasn’t short on money.
After eight years, Edward was as excellent as ever.
Even more so than she had imagined.
Regarding this, Daisy felt a hint of pride in her heart.
When she returned to the Ginger Residence to fetch some documents, she’d sometimes run into Emily and Abigail.
Emily had changed significantly, gained a lot of weight, and her three-month belly was much larger than that of an ordinary pregnant woman. She vaguely heard from others that she seemed to be expecting twins. During the last prenatal checkup, another child was detected, truly proving her earlier prediction: have two in three years.
Many times, it was Abigail holding her hand as they strolled leisurely in the garden, the mother and daughter basking in the sunshine, appearing rather heartwarming, without that annoying chatter from before.
One was about to become a mother, and the other to become a grandmother, both had toned down a lot. And she moved out of the Ginger Residence as well, the once fierce quarrels now seemed almost like a lifetime ago.
Yet it had only been two months.
But regardless, the intersection between her and Emily had grown less and less, the two lines that once crossed each other, were now finally headed in their own directions, gradually parallel.
