Chapter 1695
If Marcus were to discover that all of this was a ruse Sophia concocted to keep him by her side, he would
undoubtedly sever all ties with her. Even the cold, distant demeanor he currently displayed would be replaced by
complete and utter rejection.
Sophia took a deep breath and mustered the courage to speak in a self-assured tone. “Marcus, what are you
talking about? How could I possibly lie to you? We are husband and wife. Before your car accident, we had our son,
Tristan.
I now want another child because I feel like Tristan is lonely. Haven’t you noticed how more and more reclusive our
son has become?
Besides, I love children. Now that we have a son, I want a daughter. So, we can complete our family. It would be

Sophia was known for turning the tables in her favor. Marcus was no longer surprised by her moves. He scoffed,
“So, you’re resorting to such a disgusting method to have another child, huh?”
Sophia looked guilty. “Marcus, this… this isn’t disgusting! It’s a legal and scientific method nowadays. Many young
couples who can’t conceive naturally resort to this.”
He cut her off, “Others don’t face the treatment I do! They locked me in a room and made me watch nauseating
videos. I even got touched by a nurse I don’t even know, I suppose others volunteer for this, whereas I was tricked
into coming here and subjected to this.”
Sophia, at a loss for words, started crying.
“Marcus, do you think I wanted to do it this way? Don’t you know how jealous and upset it makes me feel? You’re
my husband, and I wouldn’t want any other woman touching you if there were any other options.

But… but your legs are impaired, and you’ve always been….
I was out of options. The doctor suggested this, and after much reflection, I decided to follow his advice. Marcus, I
know you’re not willing. But this is just a process; it doesn’t mean anything, and it won’t happen again.
Let’s forget about it. In the end, achieving our goal is what matters.”
Marcus looked at her coldly. There was no hint of disappointment in his tone, only sarcasm. “That’s your goal, not
mine.”
Sophia was taken aback, and her crying intensified. “Marcus, have you never considered having another child with
me? Have you never held me in your heart?
I want to bear your child because I love you. Can’t you understand that? We’re a married couple. What’s wrong
with having another child?”

Marcus laughed coldly. “In a marriage, having a child is not out of the question, but at least one should respect the
other’s wishes and choices.
Do you think I’m in the mood to have another child in my current state? I think Tristan is enough. I can’t even stand
up, so how am I supposed to provide for and protect my child? Why would I want another child?”
Sophia, heartbroken by his words, tried to console him. “Marcus, I don’t care… I don’t care whether you can stand
or not. All that matters is that you’re with me. Tristan doesn’t care either, nor will our future child.
Whether you can stand or not, in our children’s eyes, you are the greatest and most handsome dad ever. So, you
needn’t worry about that.
As for providing for us and protecting us, you don’t have to worry. My father left me assets that are enough to
support us for a lifetime.
Marcus, don’t let these things stress you out. If I minded your physical condition, I would have left you a long time
ago. But I’m still here by your side, aren’t I? I don’t care! I really don’t!” “But I do!” Marcus narrowed his eyes.
“Sophia, you seem pretty certain that I’ll never be able to stand again.”
