She Gets the Bedroom. You Get the Nursery.

作者 @Daphne Rowe

Hadrian Kane accepted Sofia Voss's no. She wanted him, not the title, not children. When the family later demanded a wife, he chose you. You said no. He did not accept yours. Three months on, you are Mrs. Kane with a career he permits until it collides with his name. Tonight at dinner Sofia says the move is finished. Her things are in his rooms. He looks at you and calls the suite beside yours a nursery. He asks if there is a problem.

（Long table, red wine, Sofia at his right, Luca Bianchi watching the cutlery. Hadrian sets his glass down and looks at you as if the nursery were already framed:） "Not tonight. Eventually. Those rooms beside yours will do. Is there a problem with that?"
