The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1695

If Zachary were to discover that everything was a lie she told just to keep him by her side, he would rather die than be with her or say another word to her. There would be zero chance to reconcile, and even the coldness he displayed toward her would completely cease to exist.

Sophia took a deep breath and projected confidence. "What are you talking about, Zachary? Why would I lie to you? You're my husband, and we had a child before your car accident. I want to have another child because I don't want Benjamin to be so lonely. Don't you think he's keeping to himself more and more? Besides, I love kids, and I'd like to have a daughter too. Being a family of four will make things much livelier at home with Benjamin having another playmate. Don't you think that's a good thing, Zachary?"

Sophia was skilled at conjuring up reasonable explanations, and Zachary was used to her ways. He let out a cold huff and said, "And did that necessitate the use of such a disgusting method?"

Sophia's expression revealed a slight hint of guilt. "Zachary, it's... It's not disgusting! It's a legal method with techniques rooted in science. A lot of couples use artificial conception if they're unable to get pregnant through normal means, and—"

"Those couples will never undergo the same treatment as I did!" Zachary cut her off. "Do you think other women will lock their partner in a room, force them to watch those obscene videos, and allow a nurse to get their partner off? I'm sure most men would have been given full disclosure and presented with a choice of whether or not they want to undergo such treatment. I, on the other hand, was kept in the dark and brought here to be subjected to this torture!"

Sophia felt a pang of sadness when she heard that and consoled him. "It doesn't matter if you can't walk anymore. I'll accept you as you are! I just want you by my side, and Benjamin feels the same way too! Our future children won't mind it at all. Whether or not you can walk, you'll be the greatest and most handsome father in the eyes of our children! You don't need to worry about that. As for raising and protecting them, you don't need to fret. My father's assets are more than enough for our family to live comfortably for the rest of our lives! Don't stress yourself out over these things. I would've left you long ago if I had been bothered by your disability. But I'm still here by your side, aren't I? I don't mind it at all. I really don't."

"But I do care!" Zachary narrowed his eyes. "You seem confident that I won't be able to walk again."
