Iris opened her eyes and looked at him with heavy-lidded eyes. "What’s wrong?" she asked after hearing him curse.
Jin Liwei couldn’t answer at first. He was looking at something below him in disbelief.
Why was he acting like that? Now she started to feel worried. "Darling?"
He took a deep breath before answering her. "The condom broke. I might have gotten you pregnant today."
Now it was her turn to freeze.
His jaw tightened after seeing her reaction. "Sorry, love. I know that you’re not ready yet but if I really made you pregnant today, we have no choice but to make adjustments to our initial plans. Don’t worry. I’ll take care of everything."
She was too shocked to reply.
Something painful started twisting inside his chest. Why wasn’t she saying anything? Did she hate the idea of getting pregnant with his child so much? He took another deep breath to calm himself and try to understand what she must be feeling now. He removed the torn condom from his now flaccid member, and then started talking to fill the uncomfortable silence.
"I should’ve known. This is a different brand from what we normally use. The ones we use are made of the highest quality materials and are known for their extreme durability. I never have to worry about getting rough and intense with you while using them. But this condom...Dominic must have bought it from a regular store."
Iris remained silent, causing him to be filled with anxiety. The pain in his chest became heavier. His hold on her hand tightened.
"Do you regret it?" he asked her. "Because I don’t. You becoming pregnant with my child will make me the happiest man in the world. I want to marry you, build a family with you, raise our children together, and live the rest of our lives in happiness. I’m sorry that I wasn’t careful today and that I may have ruined our nicely laid-out plans for our future, especially since this might cause a pause to your career and studies. But I want you to know that I don’t regret it if I really did make you pregnant today."
She looked at him with emotion-filled eyes but otherwise maintained her silence.
"Xiulan, love, please say something," he begged her, his tone filled with anxious urgency...and pain. "Do you really hate the thought of being pregnant with my child?!" frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"No!" she finally spoke. "Please don’t think that."
She sat up and pulled him in an embrace. Her chest felt tight seeing that he was hurt. He tried hiding it but she could see it in his eyes. How careless of her! She didn’t realize that her reaction would hurt him.
His arms wrapped around her, hugging her closer. He rested his head on her shoulder.
They held each other in a tight embrace. Their dishevelled appearance and exposed privates had flown out of their minds, as they tried to take in what just happened.
