If she doesn't invite a man into her life, how will she have a daughter?" Kathryn had mentioned that she could find a man to sleep with a few times, then have a successor once she gets pregnant and gives birth to a daughter. She believes there's no need to marry or invite a man into her home.
The father would be absent, and the daughter would remain with her.
Young people today have very different ideas from our generation.

She wasn't as open-minded as Kathryn.
Clarissa was concerned about Kathryn's marriage. Pedro didn't know how to respond, so he just listened quietly. "Pedro, since you left the base, have you looked for your relatives? Have you explored your own background?" Clarissa suddenly shifted the conversation to Pedro.
Pedro cautiously replied, "Madam, those of us sent to the base were all orphans, without any family. I haven't looked into my background, and there's no need to. Anyone who entered the base had no living relatives. Even if they did, they were distant ones." It's better not to seek out those distant relatives.
Pedro hadn't investigated his past, nor had he sought out any distant relatives. He didn't even remember where he was from, so how could he search for them? When he was selected for the base, he was about five or six years old. At that time, he was an orphan, both parents gone, and no siblings. He didn't know if his parents had any relatives. He only remembered that the boss of the base noticed him in the Fox Courtyard and took him from the orphanage to the base.
He assumed the boss must have researched him to confirm he had no family ties before choosing him.
After a moment of silence, Clarissa said, “That's true. You were all very young when you entered the base, all orphans, and you don't have many memories of the past. Have you ever thought about getting married?" Pedro replied seriously, “Madam, we aren't allowed to marry, have children, or form romantic attachments unless it's with someone who would be loyal to us for life." The only person he could love was Kathryn. He couldn't fall for anyone else. Fortunately, he wasn't interested in others. Since he knew he could only love someone who was loyal to him for life, Kathryn was the only one in his eyes and heart.

Clarissa looked at him for a moment, "You are undoubtedly a good person, not too old, and a good match for Kathryn. You're an okphan, okphan, with no parents or siblings. If Kathryn is with you, she won't have to deal with the complications of in-laws. Given Kathryn's personality, she's likely too impatient and stubborn to handle such relationships well."
Pedro's dark eyes flickered, "Madam, I am just the all-around assistant to the young lady, loyal to her for life. I would go through fire and water for her. But when it comes to matters of the heart, it's not up to me."
He liked Kathryn, and Kathryn wasn't without feelings for him. But in their relationship, he was only there to support her, and Kathryn held all the power. Kathryn could treat him however she wished.
Clarissa mentioned that Kathryn only wanted a daughter, not a husband. So, Kathryn might really just sleep with Pedro and not give him a title.
