Chapter 138 Trying To Understand

“She doesn’t know how to do anything. What can she achieve outside? With a capable husband like

After listening indifferently, he said, “I’ve said before that I don’t want kids. Why are you making

things difficult for her? Why did you ask her to come back today?”
