Chapter 926 Elias and Ashley's Side Story: Going Home Together

After they both agreed not to have kids, Elias went ahead and got a vasectomy, which was a common medical procedure to ensure that they'd have no kids. He didn't mention it to Ashley. Instead, he researched everything himself, then drove to the hospital and got it done.

The procedure was quick and simple, and it was done in less than an hour at an outpatient clinic. He even had a few meetings that afternoon, feeling only a slight discomfort that disappeared by the evening after he got home.

It wasn't until over a month later that Elias mentioned it to Ashley during a casual conversation. She stared at him, stunned for a moment. was rare to see someone as sharp as her look completely dumbfounded.

Elias chuckled. The word "surgery" had probably scared her into thinking that it was something serious. He quickly pulled her into a hug and kissed her before explaining in detail, trying to reassure her.

"Honey, didn't you notice that I've been terrified of having kids lately? Even with protection, I've been pulling out just to avoid any chance of an accident. Regardless of whether we'd keep the baby or not in the case of an accidental pregnancy, it would still hurt your body.

"I've been so worried about it that I haven't even been enjoying myself recently. So, I figured that I might as well eliminate the risk altogether."

Ashley wrapped her arms around his waist and rested her head against his chest as she quietly said, "I know about that surgery. My dad got it done too.

"Back then, it was usually the woman who got the procedure done, but my dad realized that female sterilization was way riskier and more harmful than it was for men. He couldn't bear to put my mom through that, so he got it done himself.

Elias knew that Ashley rarely gave compliments outright. This was her roundabout way of praising him. He beamed with pride.

Unlike his reserved wife, Elias was much more direct. Since he'd just been complimented, he couldn't help but " stand at attention", so to speak.

That night, the couch and carpet became their battleground.

Later, when Ashley was chatting with Emelie, she casually mentioned what Elias had done. Emelie didn't hold back her praise, calling him a "loyal dog".

Despite their decision, they still welcomed a new addition to the family that winter. However, it was a furry one. It was raining heavily that day. Elias was out of town for work, so he couldn't pick Ashley up after work.

As she left the law firm and walked to the parking lot with an umbrella in hand, she heard a faint meowing through the pouring rain. After searching around, she found a tiny but filthy white kitten hiding under a car.

It looked like a newborn. Its eyes were crusted with discharge, and it was so small and skinny that it seemed like a gust of wind could knock it over. It looked pitiful.
