A Graduation Gift

Chapter 463 The Surprise (Part One)

A perplexed look washed over Cassandra's expression as she stared at Rufus's expectant face.

"I just got my period two days ago. I thought you knew that?"

She huffed out a short, breathy chuckle at his ignorance, a small smile sliding across her lips in adoration.

Rufus paused as he contemplated what Cassandra had told him before. At the recollection, he visibly deflated and pouted in disappointment; his desire to have a child with his beloved remained as a pipe dream once again.

His shoulders drooped while he trudged towards her slowly. As he tucked his head on the crook of her neck, he sighed and pulled her into a tight embrace, "Cassandra, we've been together for so long, why aren't you pregnant yet? Should we find time to go to the hospital and have a check-up?"

Rufus murmured in resignation. The bitterness swelled in his heart at the thought of Cassandra not being able to bear his child.

"There's no hurry, we aren't even married yet."

A forced smile attempted to comfort her sorrowful spouse and concealed the throbbing pain Cassandra fostered inside. She did not want Rufus knowing that she had lost their offspring. It would wreck him, and she was not sure if she would ever be ready to see his grieving and broken gaze upon learning the truth. She willingly took the role of a liar as she spouted insincere words of reassurances whenever he brought up the topic.

"We can get married anytime you want!"

Rufus straightened and beamed; it had been his long wish to be wed to her, after all. He would even go as far as asking for her hand right at this moment, if he had not been consistently rejected in the past.
