After the old man left, Alla looked somewhat distraught and raised her head to look at Casiano: "I really might not be able to get pregnant."
More than the Davies family elders disapproving of their marriage, the possibility of not being able to bear his child weighed heavily on Alla's heart.
Casiano raised his well-defined fingers, pulling her into his embrace, and comforted her softly: "Alla, I don't want children."
In this lifetime, having her was enough. He didn't want children who might compete with him for her attention.
Alla knew Casiano didn't want children, but the old man was right—how could the head of the Davies family not have an heir?
She leaned her palm-sized cheek against his firm chest and sighed deeply: "Casiano, maybe... we should hold off on getting married."
Despite Casiano being in charge and the younger generation obeying him, the elders looked down on her, and she truly felt unworthy of him.
