    Chapter 1695


    If Marcus were to discover that all of this was a ruse Sophia concocted to keep him by her side, he


    would undoubtedly sever all ties with her. Even the cold, distant demeanor he currently disyed would


    be reced byplete and utter rejection.


    Sophia took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak in a self-assured tone. “Marcus, what


    are you talking about? How could I possibly lie to you? We are husband and wife. Before your car


    ident, we had our son, Tristan.


    I now want another child because I feel like Tristan is lonely. Haven’t you noticed how more and more


    reclusive our son has be?


    Besides, I love children. Now that we have a son, I want a daughter. So, we canplete our family. It


    would be lively with the four of us, and Tristan would have a ymate. Don’t you think that sounds


    nice, Marcus?”


    Sophia was known for turning the tables in her favor. Marcus was no longer surprised by her moves.


    He scoffed, “So, you’re resorting to such a disgusting method to have another child, huh?”


    Sophia looked guilty. “Marcus, this… this isn’t disgusting! It’s a legal and scientific method nowadays.


    Many young couples who can’t conceive naturally resort to this.”


    He cut her off, “Others don’t face the treatment I do! They locked me in a room and made me watch


    nauseating videos. I even got touched by a nurse I don’t even know, I suppose others volunteer for this,


    whereas I was tricked intoing here and subjected to this.”


    Sophia, at a loss for words, started crying.


    “Marcus, do you think I wanted to do it this way? Don’t you know how jealous and upset it makes me


    feel? You’re my husband, and I wouldn’t want any other woman touching you if there were any other


    options.

    But… but your legs are impaired, and you’ve always been….


    I was out of options. The doctor suggested this, and after much reflection, I decided to follow his


    advice. Marcus, I know you’re not willing. But this is just a process; it doesn’t mean anything, and it


    won’t happen again.


    Let’s forget about it. In the end, achieving our goal is what matters.”


    Marcus looked at her coldly. There was no hint of disappointment in his tone, only sarcasm. “That’s


    your goal, not mine.”


    Sophia was taken aback, and her crying intensified. “Marcus, have you never considered having


    another child with me? Have you never held me in your heart?


    I want to bear your child because I love you. Can’t you understand that? We’re a married couple.


    What’s wrong with having another child?”


    Marcusughed coldly. “In a marriage, having a child is not out of the question, but at least one should


    respect the other’s wishes and choices.


    Do you think I’m in the mood to have another child in my current state? I think Tristan is enough. I can’t


    even stand up, so how am I supposed to provide for and protect my child? Why would I want another


    child?”


    Sophia, heartbroken by his words, tried to console him. “Marcus, I don’t care… I don’t care whether you


    can stand or not. All that matters is that you’re with me. Tristan doesn’t care either, nor will our future


    child.


    Whether you can stand or not, in our children’s eyes, you are the greatest and most handsome dad


    ever. So, you needn’t worry about that.


    As for providing for us and protecting us, you don’t have to worry. My father left me assets that are


    enough to support us for a lifetime.


    Marcus, don’t let these things stress you out. If I minded your physical condition, I would have left you a


    long time ago. But I’m still here by your side, aren’t I? I don’t care! I really don’t!” “But I do!” Marcus


    narrowed his eyes. “Sophia, you seem pretty certain that I’ll never be able to stand again.”
