    Wenham didn''t particrly want to go either, but he couldn''t bear to disappoint Ste. "Darcie, ask your


    assistant to reschedule your work. Ste has put a lot of effort into this, so let''s take it as an opportunity


    to rx," he suggested.


    Darcie clenched her fist and nced at Ste before forcing a warm smile. "Since you put it that way,


    there''s no reason for me to refuse," she said.


    Ste inwardly clicked her tongue, thinking, ''Darcie is incredibly patient andposed. Apart from the

    day we met, the only time she lost her cool was when Leighton exposed Jaylene''s fake illness by


    throwing Noah onto her.''


    Even then, Darcie regained herposure within minutes. However, it revealed a vulnerability that


    Ste could exploit.


    If Darcie didn''t have a clumsy daughter like Jaylene dragging her down, she would have been a much


    more formidable opponent to deal with.


    The impression Darcie had crafted in front of Wenham was impable- gentle, considerate, always


    siding with his biological children whenever they shed with her daughter, and even willing to risk her


    life to find him.


    Ste couldn''t help but ponder that if someone treated her the same way, she wouldn''t have the heart


    to hurt them, even if she didn''t particrly like them. That''s just how brilliant Darcie was.


    As she contemted this, Ste discreetly nced at Wenham.


    Her prating gaze sent shivers down Wenham''s spine.


    Even as Ste packed, Wenham could still feel her gaze on him.


    Unable to resist any longer, Wenham asked as Ste folded his clothes," You''ve been staring at me all


    day. Is there something you want to tell me?"


    Ste lowered her gaze, cleared her throat, and hesitantly asked, "Dad, you were quite young when


    you married Darcie, right? Did you ever consider having a child with her?"


    Wenham nearly choked on the nut he was eating, his face turning red as he coughed.


    Ste was shocked and nearly rushed over to perform the Heimlich maneuver on Wenham. Thankfully,


    he managed to swallow the nut and felt better after drinking some water.


    "What child? I already have two," Wenham replied.


    Ste leaned in closer to him. "A child that is born from both you and her."


    Wenham hesitated, taking a moment before responding, "The economy wasn''t favorable for US to


    have another child."


    Ste nced at him. "I was born around that time. Did you spend all your money on me?"


    Her tone wasced with sarcasm, suggesting that economic factors wouldn''t have influenced


    Wenham''s decision regarding having another child.


    After a lengthy silence, Wenham spoke up, ''I didn''t desire another child. Having you and Trevor is


    fulfilling enough for me.


    "In this world, there are some things beyond our control, and certain debts must be repaid, but there


    are still choices I can make for myself."


    Outside the door, the hand poised to knock hesitated, then clenched suddenly.
