‘I don’t,’ he said, without hesitation.

‘I don’t want to have kids,’ he said

‘What’s that got to do with loving me?’ she asked.

‘I know that you want kids,’ he said.

‘I am sure you will stop loving me after a week,’ he muttered.

‘I will not,’ she told him.

‘Ok then. I love you,’ he mumbled.

‘Will you marry me?’ she asked.

‘Yes,’ he replied.
