After being silent for almost a minute, he spoke. “It depends and why did you say so?” “Depends on what?” I reiterated. “Your statement confuses me. You said what if you are unable to give me a child. Does that mean you have agreed to start a family with me?” I could see the hope in his eyes and that made me roll my eyes instantly. “At this point, we’ve got to be sincere with each other so we know where we are headed.” He spoke, bringing me out of my thoughts. “You do not need to pretend as though you do not know what I’m talking about. My step-family said so to your sister, I have no doubt they mentioned the same to you.” “They did,” Shawn answered, making my heart race. “And you are not disgusted?”
