Chapter 397
Besides, Jackson was the Valor family’s head. It was only natural for him to have heirs to inherit the
family.
Would the Valor family lineage end because of her? She had been naive before and had even forgotten
to consider this matter when impulsively getting into a relationship with him.
But how long could such a relationship Last?
Even in the cases she had dealt with before, in such a prestigious family, the existence of heirs was

be important. Besides, I wouldn’t even consider having children with anyone else if it weren’t for you.”
While he was indifferent about children previously, he would have chosen a woman who was qualified
