Billionaire, Let's Divorce (Mark and Sydney) novel Chapter 386

ANASTASIA

“He?“ He smiled and his gaze traveled between my face and the road a couple of times before he fixed it on the road again.

“Yeah,“ I dragged and bit my lip. I totally forgot to inform him. “We did the scan and it's a boy.“

His brows hiked up as he faced me. “You did, didn't you?“

I winced. “I'm sorry I didn't inform you. I forgot.“

He nodded. And silence descended again.

I wondered if he was mad as I looked at the side of his face. Apart from his sudden silence, there was no sign that he was. So I brushed it off. I didn't want to add another worry to the lists of worries on my plate.

I took a deep breath as I turned to look out the window. Suddenly, I felt the baby kick. My eyes widened and I let out a soft gasp.

My gasp must have been louder than I thought because Aiden spared a look my way but he returned his gaze to the road without a word.

I began to worry if he was mad again when my baby kicked the second time. I smiled, wishing I could raise my top and press my palm directly on my stomach, wishing I could see the tiny feet that must be pressed against my tummy right now.

I couldn't wait for his arrival. I'd been counting down. It was just four months left and some days I just wished I'd wake up and it would be my due date.

With each day that passed, drawing me closer to my due date, I was more hopeful that Amie would soon be up and bouncing, playing energetically with Dennis and giggling loudly.

Just a few more months, baby. You'd have a sibling and you'd be healthy again.

As the ride went on, so did the silence. It was starting to get uncomfortable and I was starting to worry again if he was mad so I asked.

“How's Sharon? How's she doing?“

He glanced at me in that fleeting and casual way again. As if I was some stranger he was just trying to remain polite to.

“Sharon's fine.“ And that was it. No, ‘she’s really been busy with work,’ or ‘she sent her regards.’ Nothing.

I sighed and just let him be.

As we approached my house, I began to thank him. “Thank you so much, Aiden. Thank you for insisting on giving me a ride.“

The stupid ride I ordered was later canceled.

He nodded. “It's nothing.“

He didn't even smile.
