It turned out that he truly listened to her.

"You're not going to change your mind, right? Just like some people, when you reach the age of forty, you might suddenly want to have a child, right?"

Claudia became aware of it thanks to Aurora's habit of gossiping about clients.

Aurora's job let her meet all sorts of people, a lot of them from middle classes with good backgrounds.

There were plenty of rumors in wealthy families, but ordinary people also had their fair share of gossip, and there were quite a few odd characters in the middle class as well.

In the past few years, Aurora once mentioned couples who waited too long to have kids and were scrambling with in-vitro fertilization to make it happen.

Back when Claudia was just dating Anthony, everything was simple and innocent. She didn't dwell on things too much.

Upon hearing that, she simply sighed, reflecting on how people can be quite unpredictable.

She never imagined that she would one day become part of the dinks.

This thought naturally crossed her mind.

Bennett just chuckled in response to her concern.

His laughter, light and carefree, cut through Claudia's serious thoughts.

However, when she saw his smile, she began to wonder if she had been overly concerned.

Maybe she would get pregnant before thirty years old.

Lost in her thoughts, Claudia barely noticed as Bennett's smile faded.

"You know, you've got a point. I'll have a vasectomy when you're thirty."

“What did you just say?"

Claudia was taken aback, unsure if she'd heard correctly.

Bennett grasped her hand, peered into her eyes, and said firmly, "I'll have a vasectomy when you're thirty."

“And if you change your mind in the future?"

He embraced her and said, “I won't regret it."

Claudia didn't realize he was the kind of man who wouldn't have even considered marriage if not for her.

Claudia gazed at him blankly, then suggested, “Should we just see what happens?"

"sure."
