Caleb stood petrified for an entire moment.
His mouth hung open, no words formed in his throat.
It felt as though all the moisture in his throat completely dried up.
His mouth hung open, but no words came out for a good minute.
'How did I forget something so crucial!'
He had been so into the fun with the system that he had completely ignored protection since they started their affair.
'No wonder she has been acting so strange recently.'
Caleb felt utterly stupid at the realization.
How could he fail to notice that this was the reason for her worry?
If it was just about what he had said about his mother, that alone wouldn't have been enough for her to ignore him.
And even the way she was ignoring him.
The way she didn't want him close to her in any way.
The way she was avoiding his eye contact.
She was scared.
They had already done it so many times without protection and now she was afraid of the possible risk of bearing a child.
