Alex and Vanessa are quietly, with Vanessa stealing glances at Alex at intervals as she wondered why he was so quiet and what he could be thinking about.
He wasn't really eating heartily and he wasn't speaking to her either. Was he already regretting coming here with her? Vanessa mused as she watched him.
Alex on the other hand was thinking about how to raise the issue of the surrogacy and the baby he was expecting.
He was feeling very anxious and worried. What if she did not like that? How would she feel knowing he had paid someone to have his child?
Alex raised his head to look at her, and he caught her gaze. He didn't miss the worry and confusion in her eyes, so he flashed her a smile, "Are you alright?"
Vanessa set down her cutlery since she had eaten almost everything on her plate distractedly in the time Alex had been silent.
