When Love Becomes a Cage by Nora

Chapter 96

Chapter 96



Honestly, the thought of having kids wasn't exactly on my immediate to-do list. But after losing all my family, I suddenly got why Clyde was so fixated on the idea back then.

At least he had a grandmother who treated him like her own. Me? I've got no one.

If I could find someone to love or maybe have a child of my own, that would mean having a family again.

The thought of fertility clinics abroad and sperm banks sparked a new hope in me.

Who says you need a man to have a child? If I want one, I'll have one. If not, then not.

Right now, my priority's supporting Clyde, getting my health in check, and uncovering the truth behind my dad's death.

When I got home, Clyde was there, not at work, but cooking dinner.

"Why are you home?" I asked.

"I came back for some documents. Saw you weren't here and thought I'd make you dinner. Didn't you say you were feeling off?"

I glanced at the shoes by the door, realizing he'd worn his sneakers out, probably to go grocery shopping.

This morning, all I could think about was getting to my appointment, completely missing these little details.

"Where'd you go? Thought you weren't feeling well?"

He watched me cautiously, but I didn't want to say a thing.

Everything that needed saying was laid out yesterday. It's just that he didn't believe it.

He looked like he wanted to press further, so I swiftly changed the subject.
