Pausing for a moment, Edmund then asked, "Why do you suddenly ask it?"
But he kept thinking of what she told Herman in the afternoon. She said, a child should grow up in a family with love.
"No. It just suddenly came into my mind, if you..."
"I said I don't want!"
It was as if he was afraid that she would say something he couldn't accept, he quickly blurted out:
"Who do you think you are? We're only having a deal okay? Having a child is not good for both of us."
"Oh!" Adeline suddenly felt extremely upset. "Sorry. I shouldn't have asked such an absurd question."
Although she had already this was what gonna happen, she still felt inexplicably disappointed when she heard it herself from him.
She knew she shouldn't have expected anything, but she still developed some hope these day
