Right Person, Wrong Time

Chapter 1446 Will We Have Children?

"Chloe has already provided you with my contact information. I've arrived. Thanks for walking me here," said Nicole. She noticed Darcy's silence but didn't press her, simply offering a gentle reminder before entering the apartment.

Darcy watched as Nicole entered the apartment but didn't leave herself. She stood there, lost in thought. She understood Nicole's implication, but she needed time to process it.

Her affection for Kendrick had always been sincere. She just hadn't anticipated that he would expect her to shoulder the blame.

If that were the case…

Darcy returned to the home they shared, gazing at the villa she had yearned for all her life, now finally hers, and was overwhelmed with a mix of emotions.

The spacious villa was occupied solely by her. Despite confirming their relationship, Kendrick had never lived there, let alone shared any intimate moments with her.

The furthest they had gone was holding hands and embracing. Nothing more.

This alone was enough to confirm that Kendrick didn't love her and that his involvement with her had ulterior motives.

Previously, she would have accepted any motive as long as she could continue living this life, but if it jeopardized her future, that would be unacceptable. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

"You're back?" Kendrick slowly emerged from the kitchen, his expression unchanged as he observed the familiar figure before him.

"You're back?" Kendrick slowly emerged from the kitchen, his expression unchanged as he observed the familiar figure before him.

Darcy snapped back to reality and saw Kendrick carrying something from the kitchen to the table. "Kendrick, why are you here today?" she asked, slightly taken aback, but immediately, she realized how foolish her question sounded. She quickly shut her mouth and walked forward, with a hint of embarrassment on her face, and sat opposite Kendrick.

Externally, she appeared calm, but internally, she was a bundle of nerves, hoping that Kendrick wouldn't be upset by her words.

She realized that her love for Kendrick ran deep. Despite her usual pride, she found herself humbling in his presence.

She had never been in a relationship before. Kendrick was her first.

"Did Miss Anderson talk to you about the medical base when you walked to the apartment with her?" Kendrick asked, holding Darcy's hand and pointing toward the food on the table, saying, "This is my first attempt at cooking, so it might not be up to par. Hope you don't mind. I've been preoccupied with work and have neglected you."

A hint of guilt crossed Kendrick's face as he spoke.

Darcy nodded, a smile in her eyes that didn't quite reach her heart.

Nicole was right. Even though they weren't exactly allies, some of her words held truth.

"What's wrong? You seem a bit off today," Kendrick said, patting Darcy's hand with concern.

"Kendrick, will we ever have children of our own?" Darcy asked, shaking her head slightly, her expression serious.

Kendrick was taken aback. He hadn't expected her to ask such a question. Was it because she was moved by seeing Nicole's pregnant belly?

"Yes, we will have our own children," he replied gently, a smile on his face.

Darcy looked at Kendrick's smile, her heart aching with mixed emotions. It was a smile she had yearned for but could never attain. Now, he casually offered her this smile, but behind this smile was the expectation for her to shoulder the blame. It seemed like she was nothing more than a joke.

"Today, I saw Miss Anderson's belly, but her husband has never appeared. After all this time, I've never seen him. It must be tough for her, managing the base and the child in her belly all by herself," Darcy mused.

Although she had once fantasized about such a life, she found herself disliking the reality Nicole was living.
