Chapter 584: Not Enough Love
Daniel Marshall’s deep gaze made one’s heart flutter. “Have you ever considered giving up your career?”
You can balance children and a career!
If they are willing and work together, even if they are busy with their respective careers, they can still coordinate ti to take care of their children. There is no conflict.
As long as they love their child, as long as they love each other and are willing to consider each other, there is nothing they can’t accomplish!
By asking this, Daniel was clearly making an excuse, avoiding his own issues. He obviously did not want children.
Even if his grandfather had made this request, he still would not let her have children!
Daniel was kind to her, but is this love?
There have been news reports, haven’t there? About couples who agree not to have children. But then, one day, the man has an affair and demands a divorce, because his mistress is pregnant… So ironic, all the previous agreents have gone to hell!
So, you can’t fully trust a man’s word. In the end, he just does not love her enough.
In an instant, Olivia Jenkins’ heart felt as though it had been covered in a layer of frost, but her expression remained unchanged as she t Daniel’s gaze nonchalantly.
Olivia’s gaze was still as gentle as before, but she seed to be drowned in disappointnt.
Enduring the anguish, Olivia tentatively asked again, “If I were willing to give up my career, would you then want a child? Would you fulfill grandfather’s wish?”
Daniel’s brows furrowed in annoyance, a trace of sharpness crossing his cool and handso face.
His sexy thin lips slightly parted, his voice chilly and aloof, “You’re not thinking about having my child, are you? Did the shares grandmother left you change your mind? The shares of Marshall Corporation are worth more than Jenkins Group, aren’t they?”
Without hesitation, Olivia refuted, her clear eyes never wavering as she stared at Daniel, “Rest assured, I won’t bear your child, I was just testing you. Grandfather is pressuring to have a child, and I was afraid that you would not be able to resist and end up pressuring too.
Since we are still in agreent, I feel reassured. I won’t need to agonize over grandfather’s pleas. The Jenkins Group is what my father left , I don’t care about its monetary value, to , it is priceless. I will spend my entire life protecting it, and I’m definitely not giving up on this career.”
Olivia’s reaction was exactly what Daniel wanted. He should’ve felt relieved, but hearing Olivia’s indifferent tone and cold words sohow ignited an unnad fury within him.
It’s not that he doesn’t want a child, he fears that a disastrous event could occur again.
After his grandfather’s accident, he had considered having a child and had planned to discuss it with Olivia. But just when he had thought about it, that speeding car almost striking Olivia outside RenewalCare Hospital tonight was such a horrifying sight. It felt like a cursed existence in an instant, his mind went blank, overwheld by fear that he might lose her.
If having a child puts her at risk of loss, then every ti he thinks of that terriying car accident, he cannot bear it. Therefore, he prefers not having a child. He only wants her to be safe and alive. He does not want her to take risks for him.
Olivia’s indifference, her unwillingness to bear his child, truly hurts him. His thoughts are conflicted, chaotic and undecided.
“Darling, can we not discuss this topic in the future? I don’t want it to cause a rift between us. We can be very happy, very sweet, without any changes. With Grandfather’s unstable condition, we can keep appeasing him.”
