The words hit me hard, but before I could evenprocess the sting, he added, "And as for trapping me with a child... that would require something I'd never give you." My chest tightened as his meaning sank in. He wouldn't give me a child because he wouldn't ever sleep with me. His expression remained cold, detached. "Don't mistake this marriage for something it's not, Ada. You're here for convenience, nothing more."
