May listened to Noah's answer and processed the words, sitting back in her seat once he concluded. She hoped he wouldn't mind because as far as her son was concerned, it was not a term to be negotiated. "My apartment has three bedrooms, I bought it specifically for my children to move in. You see, where I come from families stayed together for generations. It has changed in modern days, but I believe that children should remain at home with their parents until they are married and they can afford to have their own place for their family. Since Jae-mi is getting married, she will not be moving in, but you could take that room for yourself if you want it. Or we could move into a bigger apartment still, most of our things are still in boxes."
She leaned forward in her seat, clasping her hands together as she looked into Noah's eyes. There was one stipulation to the law that bothered her and he hoped he would understand.
"I am forty-eight years old, Noah. I do not think that I could have a healthy baby. To be honest, even if I could I do not want to. I know the law is what it is, and I will not fight that, but sleeping with you to have a baby..."
She sighed and shook her head. "If you marry me, I can offer you companionship and allow you to be father to my children and grandfather to the grandchildren to come. We will give the appearance of being married and a family, but there will be no babies. I barely know you. Even if you are to be my husband and a nice man, in my heart I could not lie with a stranger."
