"I can not," said Theodore in a low voice. He frowned while looking at Aileen and then grimaced, as if those words hurt him.
Well, those words hurt Aileen more, but they hurt differently… This was what Aileen was afraid of, that Theodore didn't want this baby anymore and was afraid to bear the consequences of his act.
Aileen knew that Theodore didn't really like children and was not thinking of having one anytime soon.
He always argued that he was not ready to become a father and preferred to delay that particular event when they got married later.
Theodore always reasoned that he wanted to spend some time alone with Aileen, but of course all of that was a lie.
What they have now as in their current relationship, was not much different from the married couples' out there.
Therefore, Theodore's reasoning couldn't be justified so easily. However, Aileen didn't say anything.
