Chapter 1522

Naomi's cheeks flushed a deep scarlet. She never expected Amelia to ask such a blunt question, and could not come up with an answer to counter this. Amelia seemed pleased that she caught Naomi off guard. "It's alright. I was just curious. You don't have to answer if you don't want to. All I want to say is that if you're not sure whether things will work out for the long term, better be safe than sorry. I'm sure you don't want to end up with a child in such uncertain times." A glimmer of sorrow flashed through Amelia's eyes when she said this, but it was so fleeting that one would be inclined to think one imagined it. She added solemnly, "You and I are like-minded, rational people. If you end up pregnant, I'm sure that it will cause a whole milieu of problems you do not want." Naomi stared at her. Amelia looked serious, and it was clear that this was not a laughing matter to her. Naomi was silent as she waited for Amelia's next word, knowing that it was a sensitive topic for her.
