Passionate Devotion: Master Fudd's Beloved Wife novel Chapter 982

Verian was stunned when Cherie told her that she did not want any children.

Verian thought she was only behaving like a child and assumed that she was either afraid of the pain or that she was not ready to be a mother yet.

Hence, she said, "Jelly Bean, the truth is, childbirth isn't as painful as you'd imagine. It'll pass very quickly. Not to mention, when I gave birth to you, it was quite smooth. It hurts during labor but the pain will pass really quickly."

Cherie shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid of the pain. Monty, Boyle and I had already talked about it and we don't want any children."

"Why?"

Verian did not expect Boyle to actually agree to Cherie's refusal to have any children.

Cherie grabbed the towel and said while drying her hair in a carefree manner, "I love spending time only with Boyle. I don't want any kids nor do I want to take care of any. I don't want my feelings toward Boyle to gradually fade because of the child nor do I want our love to morph into a forced relationship."

Verian did not deny the truth Cherie spoke about as she said, "But most men, especially men in Boyle's age, well, their kids have all grown up now. Will you guys really not regret a thing for not having any children? Jelly Bean, as your mother, I never wanted to force you to have children. All I'm hoping for is that both you and Boyle think this through. I'm worried about you regretting it in the future."

Cherie stared at Verian with a determined look as she said, "Monty, perhaps in other people's eyes, our decision to not have any children might be seen as careless and only made this decision in a moment of haste but the truth is, I have already thought this whole thing through. In fact, I have already decided on it even before I discussed with Boyle. That was because I actually was a little worried back then. I was worried that Boyle might want a child. However, Boyle told me that we don't need a child to keep us company because we're both able to grow old together."

"Boyle…" Verian cracked a touching smile as she said, "Jelly Bean, your judgement is truly impeccable. I remembered asking you once if you think that Boyle is actually better than your father. Now it seems that you're already very confident with the answer you have in your heart."

Cherie said, "I don't know what other people think of Boyle and I don't exactly have to know about that. That is because Boyle is the only person in this world who knows me the best. Boyle is the best in my heart and no one else can replace him."

Verian cracked a compassionate smile as she noticed how confident Cherie sounded in her tone. She said, "Now I know that Boyle is actually even better than I imagine. I don't have to observe just what kind of a person he is and just by the tone of your voice alone, I know for a fact that Boyle truly treats you incredibly well."

"Monty, perhaps I'm a little selfish. I don't care how other married couples are in this world. Perhaps they like children or they needed an heir to continue their bloodline but all of that will only strain the relationship. However, I don't want to live like this. All I want is for me to be the only person in Boyle's life. I want Boyle's full and completely raw affection. I'm not generous enough to accept Boyle splitting his love between the child and I. I won't be happy like this and I'll actually think that he doesn't love me.

"I also don't want my relationship with Boyle to conform to living a mundane and normal life because of the child. If other people prefer having a child in their marriage, well, so be it then. I don't want it.

"Those people can call me immature, unruly, irresponsible or selfish but it really doesn't matter since I don't know them and I don't really care what they think of me. All I want is to live a good life with Boyle.
