They did not seem like a married couple, more like partners who had signed an agreement. Nevertheless, Lena could tell that Kasey had feelings for Elijah. Her family benefited from this marriage alliance, yet she had become the sacrifice.

"What's wrong? Do you think I'm irresponsible in marriage?" Elijah maintained his nonchalant tone. "It's genetic! My old man wasn't responsible either."

Lena remained silent, uninterested in his family matters.

Elijah murmured, "He had a wife but still messed around outside. I'm much better than him. At least I didn't father any illegitimate..."

He paused and looked at Lena. "I didn't father any illegitimate children.
