The IVF Secret That Shook a Dynasty novel Chapter 315

“What?” Vivica spun around in surprise. “Are you sure… you want to get the license so soon?”

“Are you having second thoughts?” Joseph countered.

“I…” Vivica trailed off, following him into the elevator. Her mind was still reeling. “I’m not having second thoughts, it just feels so rushed. Besides, this is your first marriage. You should be more careful.”

“It may be my first marriage, but my head is on straight,” Joseph stated crisply. “I’ve thought through every decision I make.”

Vivica pressed her lips together, unsure how to respond.

“I have a busy week ahead,” she said, trying to buy some time to adjust. “I’ll let you know when I have a free moment.”

That evening, Joseph was exceptionally considerate, offering to sleep with Chaim. Vivica had been watching him all afternoon and sensed he was a little down. Now that he was offering to take the child, her guilt intensified.

He was on his phone, replying to emails, and glanced up as she approached him cautiously. “What is it?”

Vivica gave a hesitant smile. “Um… you’re not angry about today, are you?”

“Angry about what?”

“You know… that we couldn’t… and you had to suffer for nothing.”

Joseph had nearly put the matter out of his mind, but this foolish woman just had to bring up the sore subject.
