To the Love of My Life

Chapter 651: Chapter 651: Syrup, Candy, and Sugar (1)
 

She would inevitably marry Edric Reat, and what about him? Would he be like the CEO he once met, unable to win the heart of the woman he deeply loved, and then find a compatible woman to settle down and have children with, thus continuing the family line? Or perhaps he could find a woman similar to her and use that woman as a substitute for her, creating a family of his own?

It wasn’t until this moment that he realized a life without her, no matter how he planned it, would always be dull and flavorless.

However, no matter how tasteless, Steve knew that from the moment he found out she was carrying Edric’s child, he only ever thought about waiting a while before giving up. But he was always just waiting without ever actually considering letting her go.

If she doesn’t divorce Edric in a year, then he would wait a year; if they don’t divorce in two years, he would wait two years; ten years, thirty years, a lifetime… then he would be willing to embrace a life of solitude and loneliness just for her till he dies.

Steve blinked, and it took him about ten seconds to meet Ruby’s gaze, who had been staring at him all the while. After another two seconds, he finally spoke: “I have no plans to have children for now.”

No plans to have children for now? Did he still want them in the future?n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

But if he wanted children, why did he secretly give her long-term contraceptives before? Why couldn’t they choose other contraceptive methods?

Ruby’s emotions wavered slightly as she stared directly at Steve’s dark, deep eyes, asking, “When are you planning to have children then?”

Steve’s lips pressed tightly together, not answering Ruby’s question hastily. He turned off the car engine, raised his hand to wipe his face, and although it wasn’t due to some grand decision that he would really spend his whole life waiting for Ruby, he answered with a sense of ease, “I don’t know, perhaps I won’t have children in my entire life.”

Never having children in his entire life… Ruby’s fingers holding her handbag trembled slightly, her long eyelashes fluttered twice, concealing her shock. After a moment, she looked up and tried to convince Steve. “How could you possibly never have children in your whole life? The Burtons’ massive business will always need an heir.”

“Doesn’t Wenny have children? It’s the same thing. Wenny’s children can also take over Pristine’s Enterprises someday. There’s no need for it to be my own child.” Steve’s throat moved slightly before settling on this answer.

In truth, what he wanted to say was not that he didn’t want any children, but rather, he would only want children if they were born of Ruby.

Even when thinking about his successor, he had considered giving it to Wenny’s child, it seemed he genuinely didn’t want children… Ruby lowered her head, remaining silent for a while before looking back up at Steve and saying, “What if, just if, a woman accidentally got pregnant with your child?”

How could that possibility exist… Apart from her, he had never touched another woman, nor would he ever do so in the future.

Without any hesitation, Steve shook his head and said with certainty, “That’s just not possible.”

How could it be impossible? Isn’t she living proof of such a scenario?

Suppressing the anxiety in her heart, Ruby tilted her head, looking at Steve playfully and asked, “I’m just saying, hypothetically, if a woman does become pregnant with your child, what would you do?”
