Liam immediately stiffened, the desire in his eyes vanishing. His face turned dark, and he angrily said, “Is that all you think about?”

Celeste stared at the ceiling, the heat in her ears gradually fading, “Your mom keeps nagging me about it. It’s not something I can do alone. If you prefer, you can donate sperm and I’ll do IVF.”

Liam mocked her coldly, “So is mom pushing you, or are you afraid of losing your place and want a child as leverage?”

Liam buttoned up his shirt, gave her a disdainful look, and said, “Don’t waste your scheming on this. I’m not having a child.”

Celeste’s smile gradually stiffened. Just as he was about to leave, she called out, “Liam, do you not want a child at all, or do you just not want one with me?”

Liam paused, then coldly replied, “Does it make a difference?”
