Beauty fell silent.
This man always resorted to the same old threat.
She couldn't help but retort irritably, "What if you regret marrying me someday?
It'd be awful if I had a child for you then, only for us to divorce later.
Who would the kid even stay with?
I'm not the kind of heartless person who'd abandon a child, and I know you'd never let someone else raise your own—"
"Say one more word.
I dare you."
Lucas's voice dripped with menace.
Beauty immediately clammed up.
She was just stating a hypothetical—wasn't she allowed to speak the truth?
What if one day he decided he wanted to be with Nathalie again?
Wouldn't he just kick her and their child to the streets?
And then she'd be stuck raising a kid alone.
Sure, she might scrape by, but did she really want her child to suffer alongside her?
Of course, she knew better than to voice these thoughts.
If she did, Lucas would probably strangle her on the spot.
