When Love Comes Late by PASSION

Chapter 2049

His silence rendered Stella speechless.

She remained uneasy, taking a moment to gather her composure before meeting his gaze.

His impassive face offered no clues to his thought, though she sensed his possible displeasure at the prospect of pregnancy.

Still, hope flickered within her.

Tentatively, she ventured, “If it turns out I am pregnant, would you still prefer not to have a child?”

Matthew didn’t provide a direct response, merely suggesting, “We should revisit this discussion after we get the test results.

”

Stella’s heart sank slightly with his evasion.

She had hoped that as time passed, his views would soften, yet he seemed as unyielding as before.

No longer wanting to evade the issue, she confronted him, “Matthew, we’re married now.

You’ve seen our family’s reaction.

They’re all looking forward to the arrival of a baby.

”

As she expressed her feelings, a heaviness settled in her chest.

“I need to understand.

Is it that you don’t want children, or is it that you don’t want them with me?”

Matthew quickly denied,
