Capítulo 23: Fated

Rain's face paled, her eyes widening as she blinked at Mr. Rock. "What?!"

He chuckled at her reaction, clearly amused. "Relax, I'm just teasing. But honestly, a grandchild wouldn't be so bad, don't you think?"

Rain let out a nervous laugh, still trying to wrap her head around the unexpected direction the conversation had taken. A grandchild? She hadn't even begun to sort out her unusual marriage, let alone consider children. But seeing Mr. Rock's hopeful expression, she realized just how much he wanted this marriage to succeed and how much more complicated her life had just become.

Forcing a smile, she murmured, "Let's take things one step at a time, Mr. Rock. We're not exactly on the best terms right now."

Mr. Rock nodded, his smile unwavering. "Fair enough. But just know, I'm rooting for you two," he cheekily grinned. "Again, sometimes, things have a way of working out when you least expect it."
