Chapter 172: The Text Message from Five Years Ago

His brow furrowed, confusion flickering across his features. "What are you talking about? I never said I didn't want children."

A bitter laugh escaped me. "Don't pretend, Mr. Shaw. Just because you didn't say it aloud doesn't mean it wasn't your decision."
