If he looked at it this way, his decision to hide these things from Claire was indeed very wise and justified. Otherwise, it was very likely that he would put her life in danger then. 2
At this time, Dorothy was staring at Charlie with a vicious look in her eyes. After all, to Dorothy, Charlie was the scumbag who had let Quinn down and broken her heart. Therefore, he was naturally a thorn in her eye. 5
She even had the urge to reveal the truth directly at the dinner table. However, when she thought about Quinn's reminder to her earlier, she could only temporarily give up on that thought. 4
Claire sat down next to Quinn at the dinner table, while Charlie sat down next to Claire.
Quinn glanced at Charlie deliberately before she smiled and asked Claire, "Mrs. Wade, how many years have you been married to Mr. Wade?"
Claire hurriedly replied, "It has already been more than three years, close to four years now."
Quinn nodded gently before she asked, "Do you have any children?"
Claire shook her head before she said, "Not yet..." 8
Quinn deliberately pretended to be surprised, and she
asked her, "Both of you have already been married for four years, and you do not have any children yet? Are you and Mr. Wade the kind of family with dual income and no children at all?"
Claire replied somewhat embarrassedly, "Actually, we are not a family with dual income and no children... how do you put this... it is just that the both of us... the both of us..."
When Charlie saw that Claire was at a loss as she did not know how to answer Quinn's question, he hurriedly chimed in and said, "The both of us are not ready to have children yet." 2
Quinn was a very intelligent girl. When she saw Claire's flushed red and embarrassed face and the way that Charlie had stepped in to rescue her, she immediately knew that there must be something else behind this matter, s
So, she nodded slightly before she smiled and said," It's actually good to not have children too."
