Do you think a scum need a reason to be one? They are just scum in a ditch, don't ask for reason why he think that way. It's meaningless because scum like to think of others suffering are less than their suffering.
I think he's rationale enough to know that raising a child where the parents barely get along can create more problems than solve them. That's why he said a baby is just a replacement for a divorce. It doesn't help that Violet is already weak thus risking death from child birth.
Violet wanted to save their marriage with a child, a bridge to connect her and him but the duke new that’s what she was trying to do and said no because hence the “using it as a substitute for divorce” it wouldn’t be a child out of their want at least that’s how I interrupted it
Spoiler?
I think he can't have a child because of his blood– the khun something. That's why he's turning it down
Spoiler ?
Okay so is he like infertile cause he said there's no way they both can have a baby ??? Just wondering or does he just hate the idea of having a baby ?
