When the topic of having children was brought up, Mrs. Perry blushed and forgot the earlier awkwardness.
Mrs. Perry mumbled, "At my age, having a baby is out of the question. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at? In a few years, Claudia can have another one, and we can take care of it so we won't be bored."
"We can have one too, as a companion for Claudia's child, that wouldn't be boring either."
Tabby Teller's fallacious reasoning was well-prepared, designed to lure Mrs. Perry.
"I'm too old for that. Even if I wanted to, it's not certain that I could have one," Mrs. Perry said to Tabby Teller. "Do you really want another child?"
"Yes."
In this life, Tabby Teller had achieved great success, but he still had regrets.
He missed out on Claudia Ross's birth and growth, failing to fulfill his duties as a father.
If he could, he wanted to be an ordinary person, just an ordinary father, to witness his own child's birth and accompany their growth, to make up for this regret.
