Mr. Kane Got Blacklisted

Cordelia might have held traditional beliefs, thinking that having more children brought more blessings, instilled a sense of responsibility, and stabilized marital relationships. Perhaps she was worried that her own body couldn’t withstand many more years, and since Dahlia was unreliable, choosing to conceive a child earlier could put an end to her unpredictable behavior.

Whatever the reason, it left Keegan feeling somewhat resentful.
