one step away [Interstellar]

72.

Yes, no matter how you look at it, Heber's answer to Xia Zuo's question should be "yes."

She looked at the pair of eyes staring at her, and for a moment didn't know how to respond.

Heber chose to remain silent, stroking his abdomen with his right hand, avoiding Xia Zuo's questioning.Xia Zuo saw her obvious evasive attitude, and the two sides were silent for a long time before Xia Zuo reached out to stroke his forehead hair, took a deep breath and said, "Since you didn't refute me, you are admitting that I can bear the burden." The obligation to raise her. Hebe, we..."

"No need, no need, Xia Zuo. I can take good care of them by myself." Heber interrupted her, looking up at Xia Zuo with his stubborn face.She gritted her teeth, and only her trembling lips revealed her false strength, "This was really an accident, you don't need to do anything at all, I chose to give birth to the children, and they have nothing to do with you. "

Yes, it was an accident, she doesn't need to be responsible, for most alphas, it's a great choice for an Omega who spends a night together after releasing an unlucky child.Not everyone is willing to lose their whole life for a small accident.Heber's approach, in the eyes of most alphas, seems so generous.

And she has the ability to ensure a good education for her children.She will take good care of her children, Xia Zuo has no doubts about that.

She had thought about everything, but she hadn't considered Xia Zuo's idea at all.No, maybe she thought about it, but she didn't care much.Even Xia Zuo, who had prepared himself psychologically on the way here, was still a little impatient when faced with Heber's attitude.

This was the first time she had shown such strong emotions in front of someone close to her. When she had a gloomy face, Heber was a little scared.But the more afraid you are, the more you can't back down.Like a brave swallow, Heber clenched his fists and met Alpha's angry eyes.

Her stubborn resistance made Xia Zuo feel a little soft-hearted. After realizing that his emotions were exposed, the young Duke restrained his momentum very quickly. "Listen, Hebe, I know you can take good care of her, you don't really need me."

She looked at Hebe's eyes so pure, the eyes that had already suppressed anger were as blue as a pool of blue lake that could drown people.When she said "You don't need me", Heber's heart trembled, feeling a little pain.

"However, in all respects, she is indeed my child. Heber, whether you need me or not, I need to make one thing clear. I cannot let my child become an illegitimate child." Xia Zuo looked at her eyes and was silent. The woman complained word by word, "You understand in your heart that even if you raise her alone, I am still another mother of this child. Are you willing to let her be called an 'illegitimate child'?" What's more, with Xia Zuo's identity, it is not uncommon to have an illegitimate child outside, but it is a scandal if it is exposed.

Heber knew that she was attracting much attention, and the questions she thought of were more far-reaching.

Unable to refute the opponent, He Bo pinched her fingers. She was silent for a long time before uttering a dry sentence, "So what do you think...?" If she has not understood the meaning of Xia Zuo's words by now, She was no longer Hebe.

"We need a marriage, not too long, enough to prove that they have another identity in San Lorenzo. I will not force you to do anything, and I will not take the opportunity to mark you. For this reason, we can sign an agreement. "She obviously came prepared, and Xia Zuo, who had guessed Heber's true thoughts on the way, chose the one that Heber could most accept among all the countermeasures.

She had no way to force Hebe to take custody of the child from her, and she had no way to give up her own child.But no matter what she thought, she couldn't bear to hurt Hebe, and she couldn't bear to lose her thoughts.

Even the current marriage is still based on one's own requirements.It is really unfair to Heber to marry him just because of the child.Looking at the woman's calm face, she tried her best to say indifferently, "I will not disturb your daily life except for the proof of relationship in official documents. It only takes one year, Heber, and we will divorce after one year."

The young alpha calmly narrates his wishes and expresses his thoughts sincerely.Facing the person he likes, he assumed a posture that would not bother him.Yes, in front of Hebe, she seemed to be the one who would never hurt her, but for Hebe, she was the one who bothered her the most.

Her existence is a kind of trouble for Heber.

"You... think about it carefully." Xia Zuo said so, and placed an agreement in front of Heber, waiting for her answer.

They all know that this is a very appropriate way.For Heber, having to become a single mother because of divorce is much better than having children out of wedlock.For Xia Zuo, as a duke, a child born to his ex-wife is naturally better than having an illegitimate child without being married.

This is a win-win choice, isn't it?

They looked into each other's eyes and tortured themselves at this moment.

It's not that he didn't think about formally proposing, but on the way here, based on the other party's behavior, Xia Zuo knew that it would be almost impossible for him to get a long-term marriage from Heber.She can't be too impatient, life is still so long, if this is the case, it doesn't matter if the front line is extended.

But why, obviously thinking this way, I still feel a little heartache when I see Heber.Like a kite with a broken string, it fell rapidly with the wind in the empty and cold sound.She felt a little nervous, and clenched her hands on her knees involuntarily.

Why such a request?Obviously there are other ways... Hebe thought so the moment he saw this agreement.This is obviously the most suitable method between them among all the conjectures.But now, it made Heber feel a bit stuck in his throat.

Because I knew I would be rejected, because I knew I couldn't agree, so I...

In this short moment, thousands of thoughts floated by.Heber's lips trembled slightly, and her pinched fingers turned white from the force. After a while, she stretched out her hand and pinched the thin agreement.Xia Zuo's heart instantly lifted.

After a quick glance, she discovered Xia Zuo's intentions.The duke, who has never been stingy, is very generous, including 50.00% of the property belonging to her name as part of the agreement.That is to say, as the mother of the child, Heber has the right to control this huge asset before the two little babies in her womb are born.

For Xia Zuo, this kind of wealth is not enough to affect her work, but it is still a bit precious for Heber.

She hesitated for a while, and after a few struggles, she said softly, "I... promise you."

Xia Zuo's eyes suddenly lit up, and then she heard Heber say, "However, we need to revise the agreement here."

"You said, I will modify until you are satisfied." Even knowing that 80.00% of her would not reject such a proposal, Xia Zuo was still a little uncontrollably happy when he got the nod from the other party.

This was sorted out by her optical brain on the road, and the original manuscript is still on the optical brain, so it can be revised immediately.

"Here, I don't need much, Xia Zuo, I can raise them well."

"This is what I should give, and she should have my inheritance."

She frowned and said so, not intending to agree with Heber.Heber glanced at her and didn't speak.They discussed some details, such as where to register.

Xia Zuo believed that they should return to San Lorenzo, which would be more reasonable and formal.But Heber didn't agree, she thought they could register their information in Fort Sunderland.Fort Sunderland is on a planet called Veldor in the far south of the empire.Currently, Heber's father, the Marquis of Violet, lives in Senland Castle.

Xia Zuo would not refute Heber's proposal.She readily accepted Heber's idea and fixed the time.

They are not planning to hold a wedding, and even the relatives of both parties do not want to tell, in order to consider each other in the future, to avoid many unnecessary entanglements.

After considering Heber's physical condition, Xia Zuo proposed to leave as soon as possible to register information at Senland Castle.

"In the past few years, do you have any plans to prepare for marriage?" After all the plans were finalized, Heber looked at the young man in front of him and asked with some embarrassment.

"What?" Xia Zuo, who didn't react for a moment, frowned slightly.

"I mean, if you remain single in the past few years, how about we change the number of years from one year to three years?" She looked at the tall and straight young man opposite, feeling a little embarrassed.

"Children will not have a good memory in the first few years. If you want, you can stay with them for a few more years."

Xia Zuo, who never thought that the other party would say such a thing, was a little dazed. After staying for a while, Xia Zuo nodded, suppressing his joy, and replied, "En."

Heber thought for a while, and said to Xia Zuo, "Give me the optical brain."

Xia Zuo obediently handed over the optical brain to her, so Heber took over and added something to the agreement.

"Do you have... any other requirements?" She asked Xia Zuo after adding everything.

Xia Zuo shook her head, she didn't expect anything extravagantly.

Heber bit his lower lip, looking at the other person's face, he was suddenly shaken.But after a while, she returned the optical brain to Xia Zuo and said, "If you didn't ask for it, this is the final version."

Xia Zuo glanced at it, and saw many things belonging to Heber in the column about his property.She didn't know how much Heber's property was, but obviously, it wasn't too little.Heber gave 50.00% of his apparent property to his children, and handed them over to Xia Zuo to take care of them before they became adults.

For further property notarization, specific certification can only be done in the presence of a lawyer.Xia Zuo looked at these extra things, and looked at Heber with some astonishment.

Heber was very calm, she looked at Xia Zuo and said, "These are all necessary, to be fair, aren't they?"

As if there was no way to refute her, the two knocked down everything together, and then reprinted a paper version.The two parties signed their own names respectively, and each kept an agreement, which symbolized the end of the matter.

It seems to be signing a contract, which is a common thing for two people.But in fact it was not that simple. When the two parties exchanged document signatures, Xia Zuo looked at the white fingertips passing in front of his eyes, and was in a daze for a moment.

"Okay, when are we going to Sunderland Castle?" Xia Zuo looked at Heber and asked after putting away the documents.

"Actually, I've already booked a boat ticket to Fort Sunderland for today, and I'm leaving in a while. You...can you choose to set off together now?"

"..." Xia Zuo heard what the other party said, and turned on the optical brain to book a boat ticket, but unfortunately, the last boat ticket to Sunland Castle was gone.

She glanced at Heber and said, "Maybe...it won't arrive until later."

"It's okay, contact me after you arrive?" Heber suggested with a gentle look on his face.

Xia Zuo glanced at her with helplessness.To be honest, in view of the previous seven months, she was a little worried whether Heber would change her mind.This expression seemed a little aggrieved, and Heber softened his heart for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Then I... contact you? There is a seven-star hotel called Dill in Sunderland Castle, and you will live there when the time comes." ,I will look for you?"

"I promise."

She stroked her swollen belly and spoke seriously.It's not that Xia Zuo doesn't believe her, it's just that he still has worries in his heart.Heber clearly sensed the little harm caused to her by the neglect during that period, his eyes softened, and he said softly, "I will go to you, Xia Zuo. By the way, I just want to correct you, you just kept talking about her, actually It's them. Xia Zuo, what we have are actually two children, it's 'them'"

"what?!"

Looking at Alpha who was shocked again, Heber couldn't hold back at all, and burst out laughing.

"Wait, you mean, you mean... it's 'they', right?" The originally bright eyes burst out with dazzling light because of Heber's words at this moment.She stared at Heber's abdomen in surprise, with a look of bewilderment, "Is...two? It's twins, just like Winnie and Nolan, right?"

"Ah."

"Oh my god, this is really amazing, all of a sudden... all of a sudden..." Having two kids?

The joyful expression of the young man fell into Sang Xu's eyes after such a long distance. Seeing the scene where they were sitting and confronting each other, Sang Xu's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up heart.

What's going on, why does this alpha show such a happy expression, wait, didn't her sister make her feel like crying before?No, it seems that at the beginning, she was very happy.

Sang Xu lay on the back of the chair, watching the movement over there intently.

Xia Zuo, who was pleasantly surprised again, looked at He Bo with a moved face. After a while, she couldn't help stretching out her hand, and asked cautiously, "He Bo... can I... touch them?"

It seemed that this was a request that did not need to be refused, so He Bo nodded and agreed to Xia Zuo's request.

Excited, Alpha got up and walked to Hebe's body. She leaned over and put her palm lightly on Hebe's swollen abdomen, tremblingly stroking the two lives in Hebe's belly through the clothes.

As if knowing the arrival of someone close to them, the energetic babies moved and greeted Xia Zuo through their mother's skin.

"They...they...moved...Hebe...they moved."

She was really too young, and she couldn't tell the age at which she would have a child. The thrill of being a mother for the first time filled her face, and the excited look made her look so innocent and cute.

While He Bei nodded gently, under her gentle gaze, Xia Zuo stroked He Bei's abdomen, and slowly knelt down in front of her.

"Hebe...Hebe, I...I will take good care of them." She raised her head, looked at Hebe's face, and said with joy.

"Well, you will become a good mother." Heber said softly with his eyes soft.

Yes, she is full of confidence in Xia Zuo, not in their relationship, but in Xia Zuo's ability to be an excellent parent. She has never doubted Xia Zuo's sense of responsibility and mission.

So, she thinks it's good to be like this now.

Not far away, Sang Xu looked at the gentle Alpha kneeling in front of her sister, and showed the same surprised expression as Amanda next to her.
