"I'm here precisely because you wouldn't know the real story about your first love if I didn't come!" Vicky said, and her tone laced with determination. Chloe, intrigued by this revelation, subtly moved to the side, ready to observe the drama unfold like an invisible spectator. James' brow furrowed at the mention of Maggie.

Vicky didn't waste a moment and pulled out some documents from her bag, thrusting them towards James. "Take a good look at this. Not only has she been pregnant before, but she's also had a miscarriage!" Vicky thought, "Finally, I've caught Maggie in her true colors!" James scanned the report, visibly shocked, but his mind quickly dismissed its relevance.

"So what if she's had a miscarriage? The child wasn't mine, and neither was it conceived with me. Why are you showing me this?"

Vicky was exasperated. "Didn't you read? It says she has a thin uterine wall and might have trouble conceiving again. If you get involved with her, your family line could end!"

Her frustration was palpable. Maggie's inability to bear children made any future with her inconceivable.

James was taken aback by Vicky's insistence and felt a surge of irritation.

"Vicky, first of all, I have no plans to marry Maggie. Secondly, if my future spouse can't have children, we could always adopt. And third, I don't like you and definitely won't marry you."

Her premature leap into the role of his girlfriend, or even wife, was grating on him.

Despite Vicky's repeated exposure to his lack of interest, hearing it once more was no less painful.

"What's so wrong with me?" Vicky asked, her voice trembling.
