She instinctively covered her mouth with her hand and looked at him with embarrassment.

Bennett looked down at her, his eyes soft and content. "Aren't you feeling sleepy?”

Claudia blushed a little, and said, "I'll go to sleep in ten minutes."

Knowing that she was shy, Bennett didn't say anything more and changed the topic. “Didn't you have something you wanted to talk about?"

But he might as well have not brought it up. As soon as he did, Claudia ended up coughing on her drink.

He took the glass from her and gave her a gentle pat on the back.

“What's the matter? Are you choking again?"

Of course, she had also got choked during dinner.

Claudia sneaked a look at him, unsure of what to say next.

The two of them had just finished having sex, and bringing up a conversation about babies now seemed odd.

“What ?"

When Claudia stayed silent, Bennett wiped away the water dribbling down her chin.

After a while, he held her in his arms, lowered his head and kissed her ear to encourage her. “Claudia, we've been closer than anyone could be. Is there something you're still nervous to talk about?"

The moment he spoke, his warm breath rushed into her ears, causing Claudia to feel a sudden surge of warmth throughout her body.

After hesitating for a while, she looked up at him and said, "Today, Joann was wondering if I had thought about having kids in the next few years."

Once she'd said it, Claudia realized it wasn't so strange to talk about it after all.

Blinking back her hesitation, she snuggled closer to him. “Bennett, have you thought about when you'd like to have kids?"

Bennett didn't expect this question. He looked down at the woman in his arms with a lazy face, which he had seldom seen before. "I'm content to go along with whatever you choose."

A little flustered, Claudia replied, "But we've barely been married for about six months. Isn't it soon to think about kids? Besides..."

What she was going to say was a little shameful. She quickly corrected it. "We haven't even talked to a doctor about getting ready for a baby. It feels rushed to plan for one this year or the next.

Don't you think so?"

"It's up to you."

She was rendered speechless.

Then what was the point in bringing it up with him?
