Chapter 2
Ethan Carter’s gaze sharpened on Emma’s face, observing her earnest and stubborn eyes. He nodded slowly, “As you wish, I’ll arrange for the agreement to be redrawn.”
Emma secretly breathed a sigh of relief. “Good.”
She continued, “Before I leave, I want to see Grandpa Carter.”
“Uh-huh,” Ethan agreed.
The two of them headed to The Manor together. As they passed the mall, Emma made several purchases, almost all of which were Grandpa Carter’s and Ethan’s favorites. She wanted to make them a nice dinner before she left.
Upon arriving at The Manor, Grandpa Carter was delighted to see Emma and asked with concern, “How was your day?” This contrasted with Ethan’s reserved attitude.
While Emma was busy in the kitchen, Grandpa Carter snorted, “What’s wrong with my boy? It’s been three years, and Emma still hasn’t gotten pregnant. I’m waiting for my grandchildren. Is he going to make me wait forever?”
Hearing this, Ethan felt vaguely uneasy. When he had sex with Emma, he had never taken any precautions, but she hadn’t gotten pregnant in three years. However, unbeknownst to him, Emma had been secretly taking birth control pills, not wanting a child to be a shackle on her. It wasn’t until a few months ago, when she accidentally found the divorce papers in his drawer and realized their marriage was doomed, that she stopped taking the pills, hoping to keep a child for herself.
While concent rating on stir-frying, Emma suddenly heard laughter coming from the living room. She couldn’t help but look out and saw a woman in a long beige dress chatting animatedly with Grandpa Carter.
