Compared to before, Ida looks plump, the previous Ada is a little thin, and with a cold frost on her face at any time, she looks a little cold.

Now it looks like I'm a little fatter, my body curves are more thrilling than before, my face is a little more flushed, and my gestures are more charming.

"Haven't congratulated you yet, I'm sorry, I didn't have a way to face it properly at the time, it's much better now, is Phyllis okay?" Ada still lives at home in Pretoria, and there are people here to take care of her during her absence, so Roque is not worried that Ada will never return.

"It's been almost a year—" Roque hadn't forgiven Ida for saying goodbye, and if Ada didn't give Roque a proper explanation, then after the meal, Roque would return to Johannesburg.

"Has it been so long?" Ida deliberately pretended to be stupid, and the way she looked at the wine was a bit smoky.

Ada's current age is the golden age for a woman to fully show her charm, and Phyllis is still a little young now.

"Where have you been this year? I asked Scarlett, and she wouldn't say. Roque touched the cigar that Ida had prepared, unsure whether to order it or not.

Ida put down her glass, smiled and picked up the cigar and handed it to Roque's mouth, and then took the initiative to light it.

"I'm in Cape Town, Luo Yi, that idiot, it's a far worse than you, I'm glad you've had a good year-" Ida said still.

It is estimated that Scarlett is the eyeliner that Ada put next to Roque.

When Ida came over, Roque vaguely seemed to smell something, so Roque's face was very ugly.

"I need a child, but I'm not sure if you want it, I've learned what you Chinese think about children, and I'm not sure about your attitude, so I can't take any chances." Ada's words confirmed Roque's suspicions.

"Where's the kid?" Roque asked, this kind of thing is actually normal, and Ada is concerned and chaotic.

Now Roque can be sure that Ida is going to have a baby this year when she hides back in Cape Town.

Speaking of illegitimate children, it is normal in both the East and the West, relatively speaking, the Chinese do care more about the next generation than Westerners, especially Roque's family is now in a big business and has a prominent status, and the Matilda family is not easy to mess with, don't look at Phyllis seems to have always shown that she doesn't care about Ida, but on this issue, Phyllis's attitude is really hard to say.

Women, many times are unreasonable.

"Tell me first, what will you do to him?" Ida doesn't tell Roque where the children are, just like ordinary families, with children, the status of men plummets.

He!

Roque didn't even know he had a son.

"Don't worry, I won't take him away from you, if you want, I hope you can come to see him often, and I also hope that he can also call me Dad, in this situation, I may not be able to give him a complete family, of course, if you want, I can also find a way to solve it, you know that I am Chinese, it is normal to marry two wives in Qingguo, and this situation is also normal in Africa." Roque tried to dispel Ada's doubts.

Needless to say, three wives and four concubines are normal.

It's even more common in Africa, where the Zulu chieftains, a hundred and ten wives, are normal.

This kind of thing is also very common in Western countries, although on the surface Western countries are monogamous, but the chaotic interpersonal relationships have led to the whole society being accustomed to this kind of thing, in the case of the Qing Kingdom, widows like Ida have children, maybe they will become a laughing stock, but in the West, no one really cares about these, now is not the 21st century when gossip is flying, and many people don't even know how many children the king has.

"How are you going to solve it?" Ada asked, pouting and sitting next to Roque.

"Not yet, in a few years, in a few years, the Transvaal will be a democratic representative system." Of course, Roque has a way, and when South Africa is self-governing, Roque can do whatever he wants.

Of course, no matter what Roque does, Roque will take into account Phyllis's mood.

"What about democratic representation? Before the general election in Cape Town began, the Progressive Party was already in a mess, and several people wanted to run, and I heard that the last meeting had made a move, and I just couldn't stand the miasma of Cape Town, so I ran to the Transvaal.

"Just because of this?" Roque grew angrier.

"What do you think—" Ada defied.

I can't bear this attitude.

Roark finally met the little one, but it was already night.

The little one is very pitiful, and now he has to sleep alone in the nursery, it's not that Ida doesn't like him, there are four maids to provide 24-hour care for the little one, even during bedtime.

When Roque saw the little one, the little one was sleeping soundly, his long eyelashes trembling gently with the sound of shallow breathing, and there was saliva on his lips that he hadn't had time to wipe off.

Before Roque could feel any blood connection, Ada used a handkerchief to rudely wipe the saliva from the little guy's mouth, and her expression was disgusted.

"How many months?" Roque is a little regretful, if the little guy is awake, Roque can still interact with the little guy, don't think about it now, it is estimated that if the little guy wakes up, the little guy's temper will be very short-tempered.

"What do you want to ask?" Ada's expression turned cold.

Roque didn't speak, glaring at Ada angrily.

This woman is afraid that she feels that she has no fear when she has a chip in her hand, and she is provoking all day today.

Well, you have to train well.

"It's been less than three months now, so I'm satisfied—" Ada still backed down, she really couldn't afford to mess with her now.

Roque really didn't doubt Ada's intentions, he just wanted to care about the child.

"You should have told me that I still wish I could be by his side when he comes into this world." Roque still pity.

"You were picking out an engagement ring for Phyllis when I knew it, what could I do? Even if you don't care, Phyllis doesn't care, what about Philip? What about Henry? What about Owen? "Ida is still the assertive Ada, who never leaves her fate in the hands of others.

"That's something I'm going to think about, you just have to trust me!" Roque did not accept these explanations of Ada, and to put it bluntly, he still did not trust Roque enough.

"Only this once, from now on, I'll listen to you for everything—" Ida immediately grabbed Roque's arm and rested her head on Roque's shoulder.

What can Roque do?

I really can't hate it.

The little guy probably felt that the atmosphere in the room was a little abnormal, and slowly opened his eyes, his expression was very serious, and his lips were pursed tightly.

Roque didn't know what the little guy's expression meant, Ida covered her head and her expression was a little broken, and while pushing Roque out of the baby room, she beckoned to the maid who was at a loss next to her: "Roque, let's get out of here first, you don't want to see the next scene-"

"What's wrong?" Roque, who was pushed out the door, didn't understand.

"I guess I wet the bed, or poop - it's not good anyway." Ada's expression was devastated, and no matter how angelic babies are, there are times when people are broken.

"Well, that's normal—" Roque didn't feel any particular way, as a new father, in fact, Roque really wanted to change the little guy's clothes or something.

"Is that because you haven't been tossed by your son, do you know why your son has four maids? One simply can't keep busy. "Ida is estimated to have been tossed a lot, so she will let the maid take care of the child.

This is the case, although Roque has a child for the first time in his two lives combined, he has also seen many news that novice parents are tossed by their children to the point of mental breakdown.

"I haven't asked yet, what's the child's name?" Roque finally thought of this question, but with Ada's character, he probably wouldn't leave the opportunity to name Roque.

"Arthur, I hope he will be as good as Arthur in the future." Sure enough, Ida had already chosen a name for the child.

Roque couldn't laugh or cry, what kind of ghost name is this, it translates to be similar to Long Aotian, isn't it good to call Henry Tom or something?

"What kind of expression do you have, he is my son, I have the right to name him, do you want to call him a big guy?" Ada was very unhappy with Roque's reaction.

Look, this is the harm of having children, Ida used to be obedient to Roque, and with children, Ida will be desperate for the sake of children.

"No, Arthur is fine." Roque finally admits that Ada is not much negotiable on this issue.

The big guy is the South African mastiff that Roque raised, and after Roque and Phyllis got married, the big guy lived with Phyllis in the Baron's Mansion in Purple Town.

Now the big man is very happy, with a group of wives and concubines, and countless children, much happier than Roque.

Although the Chinese also have a tradition of "giving a cheap name to make a living", Roque also doesn't want his son to share a name with a dog.

In fact, white people have this tradition, many white families, in order to commemorate someone, or to commemorate something, will give some strange names to the family pets, if a white man tells you that his dog and his grandfather are the same name, don't doubt it, this is very likely to be true, people do not think this is an insult to the ancestors.

Compared with the big guys, Long Aotian is Long Aotian, anyway, for the Chinese, Arthur is just an ordinary name, just like the white people's feeling about the name Long Aotian.

Looking back, Roque still discussed with Ada, hoping that Ada could go to Johannesburg, so that Roque could also be closer to Arthur and see Arthur at any time.

"Wait, wait until you and Phyllis have a baby, maybe Phyllis should be more acceptable then." Ida is still the same empathetic Ada, and this is indeed the best way to deal with it.

In fact, Roque is not sure how Phyllis will react if she wants to know Arthur's existence.
