Devil CEO's Contract Lover novel Chapter 10

Sofia POV

As soon as I got to the hall I saw Damon there fuming at the maids.

"Where have you been today? I was just a little nicer to you in the morning and you had the nerve to sneak out and even make me have to interrupt work to come back!" Damons voice sounded frightening.

"I cant go out? And I didnt ask you to change your attitude toward me!" I said.

All I had to do was think about my stepmother and my dad selling me out to the Rubinstein family as an object, and I got in a bad mood. It was all fate playing tricks on me, it handed me over to a demon who didnt care about my character or my freedom!

"So youre accusing me?" Damon sneered, "Who was the man who brought you back just now?"

"I dont know. I just met him by chance." I didnt explain Williams identity because I simply didnt want to waste time with Damon on this issue!

"You just met him by chance? Do you really think Im an idiot?" Damon walked up to me, and everyone else in the hall left when they saw how angry he looked.

"Although I dont really care if you believe me or not, the fact that Im back now means I didnt run away. Not to mention that youd like me to disappear, wouldnt you?"

I didnt care at all about Damons thinly veiled grace this morning. Because the man had humiliated me too many times for that to make me feel good about him at all!

"Sofia Rittel! Dont you forget that my child is still in your womb! Youre still so close to other men during your pregnancy, do you really consider attracting men as your pleasure?"

Damons words hurt me once again. Why would a simple meeting become so bad in his eyes!

Damon POV

I received a call from the maid while I was at work. She told me that Sofia was missing and I was worried that she had an accident, so I interrupted work and rushed home to order the maid to look for her.

However, just when I was worried about Sofias whereabouts, I saw her standing at the door smiling and waving goodbye to a man.

I was furious. I didnt expect Sofia to feel any guilt for her mistake! And why did she smile so nicely in front of that man, but when she faced me there was only indifference and anger?

"My obligation is only to nurture the baby until he is born, Damon, you said there is only a deal between us." Sofia said to me with a cold face.

Although the words did come from me, Sofias behavior of using my words as an excuse at this point made me feel even more angry.

I lifted her chin forcibly, wondering what was wrapped up inside her to make her personality so stubborn, while she looked into my eyes indignantly.

"Achoo!"

Sofia suddenly sneezed at me, and I realized that her hair was actually damp, and her clothes were wet.

I let her go, "Sick, thats what you get for going out. I told you I had that wall fixed, so dont even think about being able to get out again!"

"Its none of your business whether Im sick or not." She muttered in a low voice.

I didnt say anything, turned away and asked the maid to bring me a white blanket. When I returned to Sofia she was still standing in place, staring at me with wide, nervous eyes.

I thought she had a funny look on her face, looking as if she was worried I would do something bad to her.

I wrapped the blanket around her and warned her viciously, "Take that! Go have a bowl of Lindas hot soup later! You be careful you dont give me the flu!"

She glared at me, tucked her head under the blanket and headed upstairs to her room, still sneezing.

I had some business to attend to, so it took me a while to get upstairs to my room. When I opened the door, I saw Sofia, whose cheeks were red, huddled in a ball under the blanket.

I went over and probed her forehead, and it felt a little hot, so I probably had a fever.

God, did you send her to punish me because I did something wrong?

I had to call the maid to bring another thick quilt to cover her. sofia was still shivering under the warm quilt, "cold ...... cold ......"

"Sir, Miss is pregnant so she cant take medicine. I think you may need to warm her up in some other way." Linda said.

Get warm? Did she mean that I should sleep with Sofia in my arms to keep her warm?

I frowned and resisted this behavior because I didnt think Sofia deserved the sacrifice I was making for her.

However, after two hours Sofias body temperature rose again and I had to give up my stubbornness and lie down on the bed to hold Sofia.

Her body was petite and plump, and she felt quite comfortable to hold.

I reassured myself that I was being charitable and that I was only doing this because of the baby.

Just then, Sofia suddenly reached out and wrapped her arms around my waist trustingly, and I could feel my body stiffen at her actions.

"Its so warm." She murmured as she lay in my arms.
