"Now that you have a child, the situation is different. You can go and discuss it with Saya yourself. Except for the question of whose surname the child should take, everything else is acceptable. If you can't solve it, I and your mother will intervene."

My father drew a bottom line. He decided to compromise due to the baby in Saya's belly.

I replied to Saya: [The child must take my last name, and everything else is easy to negotiate.]

Thinking that I would become a father later, I felt mature instantly and decided to take on responsibilities.

She then sent another message.

[My mother insisted on increasing the betrothal gift to 880 thousand dollars. No matter how I persuade her, she won't listen. What should I do?]

Zoe took advantage of the child to raise the price, but I had no choice but to accept it.

I couldn't be at odds with my children and future wife.

[Okay.]

I agreed in the end.

Saya didn't reply to the message for half an hour. I guessed she was negotiating with her parents.

At 10 p.m., Saya replied: [My mother said that we should buy gold jewelry tomorrow, and she will go too.]

I was delighted because it meant that the marriage was basically a done deal.

The gold jewelry cost 22 thousand dollars, and Saya chose them herself. I paid for it without hesitation.

These jewellery were all bought in the gold shop of my family.

But in the end, Zoe took a fancy to a gold bracelet worth over 20 thousand dollars.

"This one is a pair with the one I wear. At that moment, the gold price fluctuated greatly, so I didn't buy it."

I understood immediately and paid again.

Immediately afterwards, Zoe asked for a little golden rabbit.

I didn't want to cause any trouble, so I took them all.

But two days later, I unexpectedly discovered that the gold bracelet was on Tessa's wrist and the little golden rabbit was hanging around her son's neck.

I couldn't help but frown, but didn't say a word.

The wedding ceremony was scheduled for the 28th day of December, and it was around a month away.

I then said to Saya, "Let's get the marriage certificate before we get married. Your belly will be bigger after marriage, so it will be inconvenient to handle these things. We also need a marriage certificate for the child's household registration."

Saya hesitated. "My mother said that we should wait a little longer."

Later, I mentioned it several times, but she always made excuses to refuse me.
