Chapter 172: The Text Message from Five Years Ago

He glanced toward the twins, still curled together on the sofa across the room. "Even if you don't need care, the children do."

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."

Sean's fingers drummed lightly against the edge of my bed. "If I didn't say it, then how exactly was it my decision?"
