Edward looked at me, sympathy and guilt written all over his face. “Let’s not get into it right now. Those are just her terms, not mine.”

“I want to know,” I pressed. Nora grew up in a family like hers–you can’t just brush off what she says as childish.

“It’s better if you don’t know. I don’t want you getting hurt,” Edward said, still refusing to tell me.

I threw off the covers and stepped in front of him, stopping him from leaving. “You promised we’d always talk about things right away, remember?”

Edward gave me a helpless look, his expression shifting. “Nora said we can’t get married, but we can stay together for the long haul. And if you have a child, the kid would only get a third of my inheritance.”

I was stunned. ‘No marriage, but she wants me to have a kid? She basically wants my child to have no name, no status,‘ I thought.

“Edward, she’s clever, but I can’t accept either of those,” I said, my voice firm. “We got together because we wanted to, no one forced anyone, no one got hurt. We met as single people, and if I have to put up with these random rules just to get married, that’s not fair to me.”
