Jasper looked Landon in the eye and whispered, âWhatâs wrong with that? Canât my future wife and I enjoy each otherâs company?â
âWe are all adults. Thereâs nothing wrong if youâre both consenting. But⦠did you use protection?â
âProtection?â Jasper was slightly taken aback.
It a man-to-man talk, so Landon wasnât afraid to be direct. He was Ñее asked, âDid you a condom? How about when you did it the previous time?â
From the outside, Jasper may look like he was invincible and unyielding. However, his only experience at S*x was with Alyssa. Hel was pretty much a blank slate.
The previous timeâ¦
Jasper answered honestly, âI didnât. You know how I was the last time. How would I even remember that?â
âHow about this time?â
â⦠I pulled out.â
âThereâs no use pulling out if your sperm is very active. There is still a high chance that you could get her pregnant.â
Landon put his arm around Jasperâs shoulders and let out a long sigh.
âItâs better if you use a condom next time, Jasper. Your relationship has just begun to progress. You should be careful,â he urged.
âIf you truly care for her, donât knock her up before marriage. Sheâs Winstonâs precious daughter and someone who is loved by many.
You should cherish her.
âWhen all is said and done, if people were to hear that she became pregnant before marriage and, whatâs more, with her ex-husband, it really wonât sound great. The most important thing for a woman is her reputation.â
âLandon,â Jasper said. He turned his sincere gaze toward him slowly. His eyes looked deep and soulful.
He continued carefully, âIf Lyse were to become pregnant with my child, do you think that I wouldnât take up the responsibility?
âSheâs the only person I want to be with. Regardless of whether sheâs willing to marry me or not, she is mine. Sheâs my woman.
âIf I get her pregnant, I will go to the Taylors to ask for their blessing. I will have a grand wedding. I must fulfill all her wishes and give her everything that I wasnât able to give her last time.â
âOh my, youâre really getting ahead of yourself. You donât even know if Lyse is willing to marry you again.â
Since they were on the topic of pregnancy, Landon rambled on, âAfter Lauren and I get married in the future, I plan to have five children. How many children do you and Lyse plan on having, Jasper?
âIf you both join hands, you could probably purchase an entire country. Do you plan to have seven to eight kids to be your heirs, just like Winston did?â
Jasper responded, âI have no objections if thatâs what Lyse wants.â His eyes lit up with passion. He looked like he was full of hope for the future.
âDo you like children? As for me, I love them. I even dream about having kids.â
In Landonâs head, he visualized him and Lauren taking their children to the amusement park to play. He was so happy that he couldnât awp Jasper closed his eyes. He pictured Alyssaâs shy smile, and his heart fluttered.
âYes, I do. Iâd like to have kids too.â
But he only wanted to have children with Alyssa.
While both of them were chattering away excitedly, they didnât notice Alyssa on the other side of the wall. She was carrying a tray with trembling hands.
She had heard every single word of their conversation.
She liked children tooâ¦
Why wouldnât she? She had even dreamt of bearing children for Jasper.
Sadly, if he were to bet his future on her, his dream of ha would never come true.
Her eyes were swollen and red. She took a deep breath as she slumped slowly to the floor with her back against the wall.
In fact, it made no difference for her whether he had used protection or not.
Ever since sheâd had that miscarriage, she had become barren. She could never have her own children in the future.
Soon enough, Jonah heard the news about Alyssa taking Jasper home to spend the night.
