Chapter 1619
After her final encounter with Miles, she handed in her resignation at work and moved out of her shared apartment.
Calvin took a day off specifically to help her pack, his emotions a mess, "You're really leaving? Since things with him are over anyway, why not give us a...?" "It's not possible between us either."
"Seriously? Am I that repulsive to you? You gave him so many chances, and I don't even get one?"
Felicity had lost a noticeable amount of weight and hardly had the energy to argue.
Folding the last piece of clothing and placing it in her suitcase, she looked up, "You know why, right? I can't have children."
Calvin spread his hands, "Who said anything about kids?"
"Stop being ridiculous."
"I'm deadly serious right now, at this very moment," Calvin paused his packing and walked over to her, "I really don't need kids. My folks are cool with it too. If you don't believe me, I can take you to meet them." Felicity felt helpless.
This was a topic she particularly didn't want to delve into.
After all, it wasn't something to be happy about.
But since Calvin was being so serious, she felt she owed him a clear explanation. It was better for both of them.
"Calvin, even before all this happened, you were all about living life without the burden of children. You're only saying you don't want kids now to make me feel better because I can't have them!"
"... Yeah, you're right."
"So, deep down, you do want kids."
He frowned, "I don't!"
Felicity rubbed her temples, "Then let me ask you, if we ended up together and by some miracle, I got pregnant, would you want me to get an abortion?"
Calvin was taken aback, "Of course not!"
That would be a miracle!
Felicity smiled at him, "See, you do want kids."
Calvin stood there, dumbfounded for a while.
He wanted to argue, but it felt like she made some bizarrely good points.
"Don't make a lifetime decision based on a temporary feeling for me! Calvin, continuing the family line is important."
Felicity didn't want them to have any regrets or use the topic of children to hurt each other in the future.
And he was still young; what if he changed his mind later?
Choosing to be child-free is one mindset, but being forced into it is entirely another.
There were many practical things to consider.
"I can't really accept this method of rejection."

Felicity laughed at his comment, patting Calvin's shoulder, "Then go find yourself some hot chicks, have a few beers, and you'll get over it."
"I'm off."
She picked up her suitcase and headed out.
Before getting in the car, she looked back at Calvin, "Thanks for everything, seriously."
He sighed, his eyes a bit red, "We're still friends, right?"
"Of course! Send me your data work if you get lazy. If I see it while I'm out, I'll sort it out for you."

"I'll bring you back a souvenir."
Calvin made a face, "Just don't make it a boyfriend."
He had hoped that once Miles was out of the picture, it would finally be his turn. But now... she was leaving too.
