Addison knew Alex probably didn't think much about last night's dinner. He just didn't want to drink the bowl of nutritious soup his father gave him, so he blurted out that he would leave it for Jonathan.
But for Jonathan, this does not matter at all. Even if someone criticizes him, saying he is incompetent and useless, he doesn't care at all.
It seems he has decided not to have children for the rest of his life.
But what about her? She is a woman, a pitiful woman, in love with a husband arranged by her family.

Addison wishes to have a child, but Jonathan refuses.
Her eyes were filled with frustration and disappointment. Today, she noticed that Alex's wife was wearing a bracelet.
