Chapter 307.2
Suddenly, Eugene stopped walking, Kasser stopping right beside her. For a moment, they stood in the hallway staring at each other soundlessly.
“You know,” she said. She looked down at her fingers as she fidgeted with them. “I want to become a mother…” Eugene trailed off. “And I would like you to be the father of my child. Our child.” She couldn’t help herself from covering her face. She already knew that it was blazing red with embarrassment. But she had to let him know.
She wanted to have his child, not as part of obligation, but of her own free will.
After what seemed like forever, Kasser spoke, “Eugene.”
He couldn’t describe the emotions he was feeling in that moment, but he knew that they were similar to how he felt when she first called the mansion their home. But he also knew that this was so much better.
He wondered if this was what flying felt like. His body felt so light, he felt like all the stars in the universe had aligned for him at that moment.
Our child.
Kasser imagined his child growing in her stomach. He wanted to put that child in her already.
Eugene flinched when she saw his feet moving towards her. When she looked up, she realized that they were so close it felt like they were about to crash into each other. She took a step back to try and make space between the two of them, but her back hit the wall as soon as she did.
