He clearly hesitated for a moment, probably not expecting me to reject him so decisively. After a pause, he asked, "What about the baby? Yesterday we――"
Through the door, I couldn't see him, and my face flushed with embarrassment. We hadn't taken any precautions yesterday and the situation was intense, so the chances of being pregnant were indeed higher. However, the tone of his voice was intolerable to me. I automatically translated his implication as: I'm not marrying you because I love you, but because I can't stand the thought of my child calling someone else dad.
It was the first time someone had proposed to me, but it felt like an insult!
