Chapter３９

"What did you say?" I didn't expect him to say something like that, so I was stunned.

It was a big joke.

However, his expression was extremely serious at this moment, "I don't know how long I can live. I'm the only child of my parents. I can't imagine how painful they will be after I leave, and I probably can't have my own child for the rest of my life. So... If you can marry me, the child in your belly will become my child. Even if I leave in the future, my parents will be comforted by looking at this child."

After a pause, he continued, "besides, you can't find anyone better than me to be the father of this child in the world, right? You don't want to give birth to this child alone and let it grow up in a single parent family, do you?"

His last sentence was like a needle, piercing my heart.

I grew up in a single parent family, so I naturally understand the pressure that a child from a single parent family has to bear and the impact of lack of family background on them.
