Chapter 438 Loving Someone Purely

Leslie remained silent.

Although Ivan hadn't specifically said it, she could guess that the condition behind his offer was far from simple.

Ivan was not the type to propose a deal that didn't favor him.

Ivan's gaze locked on Leslie's face as he approached her, saying, "Would you consider having a child with me?"

This longing likely stemmed from the emptiness in Ivan's familial life, having been abandoned by his parents at an early age as they went on to start new families for themselves.

He had always wondered what a happy and complete family might look like and decided to seek that fulfillment on his own.

Leslie couldn't help but laugh dismissively upon hearing Ivan's request. "Ivan, there's no way I would allow my child to carry the blood of someone like you!"

"And whose blood would you prefer? Hugh's?" Ivan retorted with a mocking smile. However, a closer inspection would reveal the iciness in his eyes.

It made him appear like a devilish figure under the streetlight's glow.
