Scarlett averted her gaze and lowered her head before continuing her words, "Xander, I have been taking contraceptive pills without your knowledge. I'm sorry for not telling you..."
Not receiving a response from Xander left Scarlett feeling confused.
'Is he so angry that he can't even speak?' Scarlett wondered. Slowly lifting her head, she was surprised to see Xander's calm and content gaze. And there's a loving smile framed on his face.
"Why are you smiling?" she asked, perplexed. "Shouldn't you be angry?"
"Why should I be angry with you?" Xander asked, gently holding her chin. He leaned in, capturing her lips in a deep kiss, not giving her a chance to speak.
After their lips parted, Xander kissed her forehead tenderly before continuing, "I knew you were taking those pills. But it doesn't bother me. I understand that we're not ready to have a child. You're busy with your work, and so am I..."
