Once a couple got married, children inevitably became a central topic, an issue that couldn’t be avoided.

Lewis’s expression darkened slightly. She was generalizing and lumping everyone together unfairly.

For the two of them, children weren’t even a possibility. He had no interest in continuing such a pointless conversation.

Doris was taken aback to learn that Lewis was going on a business trip.
