Nina stood firmly in front of him. "This is a major life decision. How can you say you're not interested? Even the doctors and nurses at your hospital get time off. What are you, a machine that never stops working?

"I know what you're thinking," she continued, her tone softening slightly. "You're considering adopting a child. But adoption will never be quite the same as having one of your own. If you have the time and energy, why not just have a child yourself?" Her concerns weren't unfounded. Many adoptive families face challenges-misunderstandings, conflict, or emotional distance.

Wilfred chuckled lightly, brushing her worries aside. "Why would I adopt someone else's child when you already have two of your own? Pharaoh entrusted me with one task: to watch over you and Orion. When Orion grows up, do you think he'd just leave me to fend for myself? I'm sure he'll take me in. Then, I'll be under the same roof as you again. That counts as a kind of companionship too, doesn't it?"

Nina couldn't help but roll her eyes at his logic. "That's not the same thing at all! Stop with these ridiculous ideas. I don't know what my dad did or didn't say to you, but let me make one thing clear: someone needs to be there for you. I'm serious, Wilfred."

Nina was resolute. When she made up her mind, no one could talk her out of it. She even went as far as printing out Wilfred's personal information, intent on creating a profile for him on a dating website.

But as she sat there, ready to post it, she hesitated.

She meant well, but if Wilfred didn't agree to it, wouldn't it just burden him?

With a sigh, Nina tore up the papers and tossed them into the trash.
