“Artificial insemination?”
Chester, Shaun, and Ryan looked at Charity, dumbfounded and surprised.
On the other hand, Catherine and Freya reacted calmly. After all, they had heard about it from Charity previously.
“What’s wrong with artificial insemination?” Freya shouted, “There are too many sc*mbags these days, so it’s better to have kids without getting married. That way, one can avoid having to look after the man after she gives birth to the child. Taking care of the kid is the woman’s responsibility, but why does she have to look after the man too? That’s just dirty work.”
Catherine nodded in agreement. “A few days ago, I saw a piece of news about a woman resigning to shoulder the responsibility of looking after her family and kids. But once the kids had grown up, her husband started to get fed up with her and kicked her out while having a mistress. D*mn, and he only paid tens of thousands of dollars to his ex-wife for divorce. Tsk, tsk. A caretaker or janitor can make at least 3000 dollars per month.”
Freya said, “Wives nowadays need to know how to please the man in bed, keep good hygiene, and carry children. As someone who has gone through all these, I find it relatable.”
Ryan said reluctantly, “Honey, I’m not that sort of person.”
“Who knows?” Freya snorted. “I won’t know whether you treat me well until the day I die.”
At that moment, Catherine said with a Duchenne smile, “I’ve gone through all those things as well. Look. I raised two kids alone until they were three, and when I returned, someone wanted to fight for the kids’ custody. The toughest period for the kids was the first three years without a father, yet he was suddenly granted two kids who could walk, jump, wear their clothes, and go to the toilet on their own.”
Freya glanced sideways at Shaun. “I also helped look after Lucas and Suzie a lot back then and didn’t even get proper sleep every night.”
Shaun’s scalp tingled.
He had no idea why the subject of discussion would go astray and become a meeting to criticize him.
