After so many days, and because she was pregnant, Ava actually thought about it a lot. Nathan is acting aggressively, and Ava has her own faults.
"There's no need, I can take care of myself. Or perhaps hiring a nanny would work. You're so busy every day, it's too much trouble," Ava said, hoping to lighten Nathan's load. However, Nathan perceived her words as if Ava preferred a stranger's care over his, possibly indicating a rift between them.
It was clear to Nathan that he needed to be better for Ava, to remove any misunderstanding. Resolved, his demeanor brightened as he offered, smiling, "If you don't want me to take care of you, I could ask my mother to come."
Ava shook her head vigorously. "It's not right for me to trouble the elders like this. You're my husband, and it's only right that you do!" she declared, nodding emphatically to underscore her point. Nathan chuckled and gently tapped Ava's forehead, the atmosphere harmonious.
