What I didn’t, however, know was that David had already secretly found someone else to have a child for him. When he heard about the family of four, David’s expression shifted slightly and he pulled me closer, his hand around my shoulder.
"From now on, if you want a child, why not consider adoption?"
David spoke casually, as though it was nothing. "I can’t bear to see you suffer. My Rose, just be a child yourself."
As he said this, he leaned in to kiss me, but before his lips could reach my cheek, his phone kept ringing nonstop in his pocket. He tried hanging up a few times, but the caller kept calling back.
I, being understanding, gently pushed him away. "Maybe it’s something urgent."
David sighed reluctantly. "Really unlucky. The company’s been so busy lately, I haven’t had time to spend with you."
He complained as he spoke, but his face betrayed a hint of amusement. Grabbing his phone, he walked away, answering the call. "Hello..."
I stood there, watching David in the yard. I didn’t know what the girl had said, but I felt like I could guess.
I could read from David’s expression that he was about to leave. Sure enough, David hung up the phone, his face showing clear signs of urgency.
