"Do you like children?"
I froze as soon as that question tickled my ears. Did he ask me if I like children? Wasn't it obvious? But I found my tongue rolling back, unable to answer his sudden and out of the topic question.
"My wife," he whispered, stroking my hair, and my spine shuddered. I couldn't make anything out of the dullness in his eyes.
"Are you pregnant?"
His abrupt question made me instinctively punch him in the gut, and he hunched over with a light grunt. How dare he ask me such a question in a light approach? We didn't even consummate on our marriage yet and he didn't return for three weeks! For hell's sake! We haven't shared a night for over a month. So, how could he ask me that?
