The surroundings were dim.
The lamp on the dining table cast a soft, hazy glow, yet it couldn’t illuminate the profound, inscrutable emotions in the man’s eyes.
Walker watched her eyes turn red, the heartbreak in them plain to see, and his own heart ached.
His sharp Adam’s apple bobbed as he began to speak. "Chloe, I saw her wheeled into the delivery room, writhing in agony. I heard her blood-curdling screams. She went through hell and back just to have a child. All I could think at that moment was, what if that were you in there? What would I do? I would lose my mind."
He lowered his gaze slightly, his voice dropping even lower. "Chloe, for the rest of our lives, just the two of us is enough. The Grant family already has Noah; I don’t need to carry on the family line. So I don’t want you to go through that kind of pain."
"And did you ask for my opinion?"
Chloe’s tone was cold as she asked the question lightly.
"Sorry."
Walker’s voice was hoarse. "I admit I was wrong. I should have asked you before I got the vasectomy."
"Hah..."
But Chloe scoffed. "And you thought I felt the same way?"
Walker frowned slightly. "You don’t? Chloe, it’s me you love most."
’A child is completely unimportant.’
’Our relationship doesn’t need a child to sustain it.’
’For the past eight years, our love for each other has been more than enough.’
"You’re horrifying." Chloe’s body tensed, and her clear eyes held a trace of unfamiliarity, as if she were seeing him for the very first time. "You don’t want children, but I do. I admit I said I wanted a life with just the two of us, but not wanting to have kids and not being able to are two completely different things."
But Walker said, "Isn’t it just because you saw Noah that you suddenly want a child?"
Chloe took a deep breath. "Walker, discussing this right now is pointless. Get up. I’m going home."
