They looked at her confused.
“Don’t misunderstand what I’m asking. I know how babies are made, but you’re not insinuating we need to make them like that, right?”
“How else would you have a child?”
“Artificial insemination is one way.”
“No,” I firmly stated.
Our eyes locked.
“Excuse me?”
“We’re going to have to agree with Tristian. You don’t need the help of modern medicine, Belle. At least not at the beginning. If you’re not pregnant within a year, we can circle back—”
“I understand why they’re saying no.” She pointed at me. “But why are you?”
“That’s a private conversation.”
She scoffed out, “Private conversation? I think we left out privacy the second we walked into this conference room.”

Peering back at her, he shrugged. “It’s the least I can do.”
“Fuck me,” she muttered under her breath.
Unable to resist, I confirmed, “Don’t worry, kitten. I fully intend to.”
“Then it’s decided,” Mr. Montgomery stated. “We’ll amend the contract. It’d be better if your child was made out of love anyway.”
“I don’t love him.”
“Well, neither did your grandmother when she married me, but over time—”
