[US Entertainment] Wild Child

Chapter 141 Limited Freedom

Summer didn't seem to expect him to say that, very surprised, "What?"

——He's right, you can't just think of herself, but not him.

But when he thought about it again, he was very annoyed: He obviously didn't think much about her, but he was very good at demanding rights for himself. He was really cunning and shameless!Machismo is unmistakable.

He still can't think that she has the right to choose. He naively thinks that everything can be done according to his ideas. He likes her, loves her, becomes her boyfriend without much effort, and then becomes her husband. Now He also wanted to be the father of her child, but he never understood that all this was not because of his desire, but because of her choice.

"Isn't it?" Leonardo still felt extremely aggrieved, "I thought that when you considered the problem, you would also take my wishes into consideration."

Summer frowned, opened the drawer of the bedside table, took out the cigarette case and lighter, thought about it, put it back, and closed the drawer.

"You men are really strange. You never think about women, but when you encounter things that only women can make choices, you ask women to consider you."

She started to attack indiscriminately again, and Leonardo felt even more wronged.

"Could you stop blowing the talk up on 'gender opposition'? You should only be thinking about one thing and that's you and my kids."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore." Samo was very tired.

Leonardo hesitated to speak, but endured it, "Let's go eat."

The dinner was relatively silent and didn't say much.Summer was too lazy to say anything, Leonardo was still angry and didn't want to say more.

After dinner, walk back to the apartment.

Still holding hands, silently all the way.

Summer murmured in his heart that this guy's way of dealing with problems had changed. If it was before, he would definitely be so angry that he would run out.Running away in anger after a disagreement is actually a bit of an evasive mentality. I don’t want to think about how to solve the problem, so just walk away?It is obviously useless, the problem is still there, and it always needs to be solved.

She didn't really think about whether she wanted the child or not.

Speaking of the right to choose, it actually means that in the era when abortion was completely banned in the United States, rich women could choose to go to neighboring countries or foreign countries for abortion if they didn’t want children. Rich people always have the right to choose. This is the power of money.

Just hearing from the doctor that she might be pregnant rather than some endocrine disorder, she was really at a loss for what to do.No matter how precocious and calm she is, she is just a girl under the age of 19. Becoming a mother prematurely is not in her life plan at all, and she is troubled by it.

Perhaps this is the biggest unfreedom of being a woman. Only women of the two sexes can conceive and bear children, and bear the heavy responsibility of reproducing the group. It is strange that this patriarchal society actually oppresses women who bear the responsibility of giving birth. Well, even a young man like Leonardo felt that she should just be happy and wait to be a mother, but when she heard that she didn't want a child, she was terribly angry.

She can understand his thoughts, he grew up in such an environment, the traditional way of thinking of men has been deeply ingrained, he has never hesitated to make demands on her, she always feels that she is too passive in front of him.

Of course, it was her choice that she would become a couple with him, and it was also her choice to get married. These two choices would not bring about a huge change in her life, but the child was not. With a child, a woman , or a couple’s life will undergo earth-shaking changes, and this inevitable prospect, Leonardo probably never thought about it.

You can't blame him for not thinking of the inevitable change, as Suzanne said, men are still big boys at heart, they are used to being taken care of, and they don't realize what it means to be a father.She had thought about this question when she learned that Keanu was going to become a father. Don't look at Keanu's expectations for the child, but in fact he didn't understand what kind of changes a child brought to a woman's life. In particular, he will not marry Jennifer, which means that he may only participate in a very small part of the child's upbringing process. If he doesn't have to take care of a baby's food, drink, and sleep 24 hours a day, he won't realize that he is in the big event of childbirth. How many sacrifices women in China have made.

Oh sure, you can hire nannies and servants, but being a mother does change your lifestyle.

How do the rich raise their children?She also vaguely knew that they would hire a nanny. If breastfeeding was not required, it might be much easier. You don’t even have to get up at night to breastfeed your child, everything will be done by the nanny.

She sighed, feeling that there were a thousand troublesome things waiting for her ahead, and she didn't want to think about the trifles that drained her patience.

Leonardo turned to look at her for a moment, but neither of them spoke until they entered the apartment.

On Saturday, Leonardo made an appointment with a real estate agent to see the house, and Summer also went.

The real estate agent took them to see two apartments that were huge enough for a family of four, one apartment on the ground floor, a high-end apartment, and a lobby concierge on the first floor.The two apartments are not bad, the location, price, and surrounding environment are similar, and the distance is not too far, both in Midtown.

They only said a few necessary words when they got up in the morning, and a few more words when they were looking at the house, mainly because Leonardo asked her opinion.

All are good and the price is good, not too expensive.

"Both sides are similar, and the price is similar. Which one do you like?" He asked.

"It's all right." Summer thought for a while, "This one."

In the next few days, he quickly completed the house purchase procedures and paid the 240 million house payment in full.

Summer went back to school for her normal classes, and on Friday, went to her fertility clinic for an appointment.

Leonardo drove her to the clinic, the two of them wearing baseball caps and glasses, trying to keep a low profile.

This time I took a blood test, yes, I am indeed pregnant, 6 weeks, and the due date is at the end of June next year.

On the way home, he kept carefully watching her expression.

She still looked calm, he didn't know if she hadn't given up on having an abortion, and he didn't know how to ask her.He always felt that as long as he didn't ask, she might no longer consider giving up the child.

They haven't slept apart these days, but they haven't had sex either.Language communication was reduced to as little as possible, Summer was calm and flat, and Leonardo also maintained his superficial calmness.

But the problem is not that if you don't want to care about it, it doesn't exist.

Leonardo parked the car on the side of the road, "Get off."

Summer didn't understand, so, "Where is this?"

He got out of the car, walked around and opened the door for her, "Come with me."

He held out his hand, waiting for her to take it.

She was very used to shaking his hand, "Where do you take me?"

It is a small community children's park, from a few months old doll who can only sit in a stroller to a child who can run around.

Slides, sandpit, swings, carousel.

There is a wooden bench next to the park. Leonardo sat on the bench with Summer and sat silently for a few minutes.

A little girl in a pink tulle dress slid down the slide, wearing a yellow cloth flower barrette in her hair, her round and plump face was pink and pink, she was very cute.

"Look, isn't she lovely?" he said softly.

Summer didn't respond.

——Of course other people's children are cute, but you don't have to take care of her 24 hours a day, eat and drink, take her to the hospital when she is sick, and sing her to sleep before going to bed.

Men are always habitually thinking too simple.

However, he actually learned to be roundabout!To think of bringing her these children.Was it trying to trigger the "motherhood" in her body?But motherhood is less reliable than love. It is not an isolated case of a biological mother killing her own child, but there are many cases, okay?

He continued to seduce her, using what he thought was the sexiest voice, "Think about it, you and I are so beautiful, what a lovely baby our child should be - he will be the happiest child in the world, he I'll give him anything I want. And you, you don't have to worry about my love for you fading, or disappearing, or a hundred other weird reasons you worry about."

"You know I'm not worried that you don't love me. I think I can do just fine without your love. You still don't understand what I'm thinking."

He frowned, but quickly decided to ignore her first sentence, "I've been thinking a lot these days, and I may not be able to understand why you've raised this matter to the perspective of gender opposition, this child may not be Things that you planned, but weren't 'in the plan' are not necessarily bad things, you always seem to take things too seriously."

Summer shook his head, "The problem is not 'plan', but 'what do I want'."

"what do you want?"

"About my free will."

"You mean, I have no right to decide whether this child will stay or not, don't you?" He was surprisingly calm.

"That's what I mean."

Leonardo felt that his endurance had reached an unbelievable level, "Well, I no longer require you to consider my rights, but you can't choose not to because you want to show your right to choose. This kid."

She seemed a little annoyed, "I don't! I'm not!" What a problem!

"You've been thinking about it for a few days, but you still can't decide?"

"This is a very important decision!" She shouted angrily, "I can't make a decision quickly."

After eating lunch and returning to the apartment, Leonardo went to sit in the small living room, lit a cigarette, and nestled on the sofa sullenly.

After more than ten minutes, he had already changed into pajamas, and Sam, who was supposed to take a nap, came over.

She called him in a low voice: "Leo."

He turned to look at her, "baby," he smiled melancholy, "come here."

She sat on the wool carpet in front of the sofa, with her legs bent, her nightgown fell down, revealing her snow-white calves and knees.

He reached out and stroked her knee, and her sparkling gray-blue eyes looked at him intently.

"Leo." She called him again.

Leonardo sighed, "baby, you—have you thought it through?"

"I don't know, it's hard to choose."

"what is the reason?"

"Maybe—just the fear, the fear that if I have a baby, I'll—not be me, you understand? I mean, you know what I mean?"

He frowned in confusion, "I don't really understand." He really didn't understand what she was thinking, "With a child, why are you not you? You are still you, Summer Brook, the person I love the most, this One point never changes."

The author has something to say: *Ahhhhh!This year's Best Actor is Rami Malek!Like his little pharaoh at Night at the Museum!Because Rami is of Egyptian origin, there are too few suitable roles, and he is rarely the leading actor. "Mr. Robot" won him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a TV Series, and "Bohemian Rhapsody" won him an Oscar. The best male lead is simply the speed of light.Think about Xiao Li's road to Oscar, I, Li Zhen, have had bad luck for 20 years.
