CHAPTER 956: CHAPTER 956: JUSTIN XAVIER, WILL YOU MARRY ME?

Justin, Leah Thorne can’t conceive anymore!

Upon hearing this, Justin Xavier’s handsome brow twitched, "What did you say?"

"Justin, you heard right, I’ve already looked into it, Doctor Lucy said it herself. Leah’s uterine lining is thin, she doesn’t have the ability to conceive; she simply can’t get pregnant!" Laura Xavier said, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Justin Xavier turned his head, his deep gaze landing on Leah’s tranquil face, "Is this true?"

Leah ate a small piece of steak, it was a bit cold, and she nodded gently, "It’s true."

"Nonsense!" Old Master Xavier slammed the table, making his entrance, "Justin, you are the Xavier family’s only male heir. Among the three unfilial acts, having no descendants is the worst. The responsibility of carrying on the family line falls on you, and a woman who can’t conceive is a fatal flaw. Justin, break up with Leah quickly, don’t remain stubborn."

Justin Xavier’s expression remained calm, he wiped the corner of his lips with a napkin and spoke indifferently, "Are you finished?"

Old Master Xavier and Laura were taken aback, they had built up to this crucial revelation - a woman unable to conceive was a huge issue, and they believed once Justin knew this, he would surely disdain Leah.

Yet Justin’s nonchalant attitude shocked them; did he even listen to what they were saying?

Justin Xavier glanced at Old Master Xavier and Laura, his thin lips forming a subtle curve, "Grandpa, Mom, whether Leah can get pregnant or not isn’t the issue, because I never intended to have children. I won’t have children in this lifetime."

What?

Old Master Xavier and Laura were stunned, "Justin, are you... crazy? How can you have such a terrifying idea?"

Justin Xavier let out a low laugh, mocking himself, "I think our Xavier family genes aren’t so precious that they must be inherited, let’s not burden the next generation."

"You! You ungrateful child!" Old Master Xavier cursed furiously.

At this moment, Justin Xavier reached out to take Leah’s knife and fork, then held her small hand, "The steak is cold, don’t eat it, let’s go back."

Justin Xavier led her out in large strides.

...

Justin Xavier brought Leah back to the suite within the film crew’s premises. Inside the room, he tugged at his tie, "Leah, I’m going to take a shower first. Afterwards, I need to head to the office, you should rest."

After explaining, he walked into the bathroom.

Leah sat on the edge of the bed when her phone rang.

It was Laura calling.

Leah pressed the button to answer, and Laura’s venomous voice quickly transmitted through, "Leah, I originally planned to use your infertility issue as a blow against you, but unexpectedly, Justin didn’t care at all, huh, do you think you’ve won?"

Leah said nothing.

"You’re wrong, Leah. You didn’t win at all; Justin doesn’t care whether you can have children or not. Do you understand what I mean? If a man doesn’t care about you bearing his children, there’s only one possibility: he never planned on having children with you," Laura twistedly laughed.

Leah’s expression remained indifferent; in fact, she’d already considered this question.

"Leah, now that you have Justin completely smitten, aren’t you particularly proud? Have you ever wondered what you truly mean to Justin?"

"Justin is a normal man; you’re so beautiful and the daughter of the rival Thorne family. Wanting you is normal, but Justin won’t marry you."

"To Justin, you might merely be a mistress, serving him with beauty. As time passes, beauty fades; Justin will eventually tire of you. Justin never intended to have children with you, nor planned to marry you. He can give you boundless love but not a legitimate status or a child."

"Leah, I really pity you. Your dad, mom, and brother are all dead, you’re infertile yourself, destined for a lonely life, forever an unwanted... orphan," ending the call abruptly.

Listening to the "beep beep" from the other end, Leah paused for a few seconds before putting down the phone.

This was when the bathroom door opened with a "click," and Justin Xavier walked out, surrounded by a fresh scent of his shower.

"What are you thinking?" Justin Xavier casually dried the water droplets from his hair and swiftly walked toward Leah.

Leah looked up at him, "I can’t conceive, do you truly not mind?"

Justin Xavier kneeled on one knee, holding her cold hand, "I’ve said it, this isn’t an issue because I’m not planning on having children."

"Is that so?" Leah curved her lips, smiled, "You don’t plan on having children, or you don’t want to have children with me?"

Justin Xavier furrowed his handsome brows, "What’s the difference?"

"Of course there’s a difference, Justin Xavier, I’m asking you, have you ever thought about making me pregnant and having children with me?"

She was persistent about this question, seeking an answer.

Justin Xavier narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded, "No, I’ve never thought about having children with you, is that enough?"

With that, he stood up, "I’m off to the company, sleep early."

"Justin Xavier," she softly called his name.

Justin Xavier halted his steps, turned to look at her, "Anything else?"

Leah’s dark eyes settled on his handsome face, "Justin Xavier, if I said I want to get married, I want to marry you, would you kneel now and propose with a diamond ring?"

Justin Xavier froze, his gaze like an unfolding night, staring at her.

Leah asked again, "Will you marry me?"

The room fell silent; after a few seconds, Justin Xavier shook his head, "No."

He won’t marry her.

Nor did he plan on having children with her.

These were truths Justin Xavier felt no need to lie about.

Leah pulled her gaze back, "Oh, I see, you can leave."

"Leah, what’s wrong? Isn’t our current relationship good? Children and marriage... shouldn’t be topics for us, you’re so smart, don’t make me see this uninteresting side of you," Justin Xavier said emotionlessly.

Leah felt Justin was clearer than her; the daughter of the Thorne family could be kept as a mistress, but wouldn’t become his Mrs. Xavier nor bear his children.

He says he doesn’t plan on having children now, but who knows in the future? With his identity, power, and status, lack of children is the least of his worries.

Leah stood up, came before Justin Xavier, she tiptoed, leaned into his handsome cheek and planted a kiss, her charming face now adorned with a captivating smile, her voice sweetly coy, "Got it, President Xavier, just joking with you, why do you take it so seriously~"
