Shirley POV
I looked at Alex's face, who was avoiding his gaze from me. Was he embarrassed? Did he feel inferior because of this?
"I'm fine," Alex replied. "I just don't want to talk about it. And I'm not infertile."
I get it now. His self-esteem was shattered because he felt he wasn't worthy. Even though he's not infertile. How could he be barren? I gave birth to his child. That means there's something wrong with Bianca.
"Have you ever seen a doctor?"
"Shirley!" Alex scolded me. I saw the anger in him. Why I felt unhappy to see him hurt.
"So, you should leave my house immediately," I said. "I have to get to work, Alex." I waited for him by the door. I wanted him to come out first.
Alex looked at me with a wide-eyed stare. He might have felt guilty, but I didn't care. He was right.
