His Secret Heir His Deepest Regret novel Chapter 22

Chapter 22: Not Too Fond of Kids 

JULIA 

My heart sank. 

‘Don’t ruin it for me with a child.” 

The words echoed in my mind over and over again. 

Come to think of it, Evan wasn’t too fond of kids even before. I could vividly remember our conversation then. 

“Do you want kids?” I asked as I played with his hair. 

He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. I wasn’t sure it was out of relaxation or because of the question. 

“Evan?” I asked since he hadn’t responded for a few seconds. 

He opened his eyes and stared right back at me. Even if weve been together for so long, I still can’t get over the fact of how handsome he was everytime we locked eyes. 

“Now?” he asked with a teasing tone. 

I clicked my tongue and softly nudged his shoulder. “Not now, of course!” I exclaimed. “We’re still living off of our parents‘ money. How can we raise a child in this economy? Gosh, just thinking about the expenses makes my head hurt.” 

“I’m talking about the future,” I softly added. “Would you want that?” 

I pursed my lips. I knew about Evan’s dad and how adamant he was about continuing the family bloodline. He longed for a grandson despite not giving the best attention to his own children. 

So, I knew that Evan was affected by that–no matter how hard he tried to deny it. 

He let out a deep sigh, and I prepared for the worst. 

“I don’t know, Julia,” he muttered, scratching his cheek. 

He must have noticed the change in my mood because he glanced up and smiled. 

“But,” he added with a small smile, capturing my attention once more. “If it’s with you, I think I can do anything.” 

My shoulders relaxed, and 1 nudged him once more. 

“You’re teasing me again,” I said, crossing my arms in front of my chest. 

He chuckled and sat on the bed, placing his warm hands on my cheeks. I couldn’t help but close my eyes at the 

action. 

“I’m not teasing you,” he softly said. “I can’t say for sure right now,” he continued. “It’s scary to think about- raising a child like that. However, when I think that I’m with you, those worries dissipate.” 

“I agree with you saying we’re too young right now. Maybe, in a couple of years, I would be more sure,” he continued.
