Regret Novel 102

As soon as Ilse spoke, Miranda shot Charlotte a loaded glance–one that didn’t escape Rosemary, the only other person who knew the truth.

Six years of marriage, and still nothing. Even a hen could have laid eggs for years by now, yet Charlotte’s belly was as flat as ever.

Could she be barren?

Miranda, who had never really warmed to Charlotte, felt a wave of irritation. The thought that her daughter–in–law might not be able to bear children had her ready to advise her son to file for divorce right there at the table.

Charlotte’s cheeks flushed with embarrassment.

Was it really her choice not to have children?

Charlotte was just about to explain when she felt a warm hand close gently over hers. Evander spoke up, “We’re just not ready for kids yet.”
