How did he get his hands on her test results before the doctor even gave them to her?
But Isadora didn't have time to dwell on it. Her heart pounding, she flipped open the envelope.
Her eyes scanned the bold red print: *All normal!*
The tension she'd been carrying for so long finally melted away.
Isadora let out a long, shaky breath.
Victor's striking eyes glimmered with mischief as he smiled, the corners of his lips quirking up. "Told you everything would be fine."
Isadora looked up at him. "Thank you, really."
Victor arched a brow. "That's it?"
She blinked. "What else should I do?"
He leaned in, his warm breath brushing her ear as he murmured, "How about staying with me tonight?"
Isadora felt her cheeks flush. "I have to go home tonight, or my mom will come looking for me."

Later that afternoon...
Isadora headed back to the office to finish up some work.
Nanette was nearby, attending a ribbon-cutting ceremony at a luxury boutique, and decided to drop by afterward.
When Nanette walked into Isadora's office, she was carrying two iced lattes. "This is my first time visiting since you became Managing Director of The Vaughan Group," she said with a grin.
Isadora stood up and gestured toward the sofa. "What do you think of the office?"
Nanette took a curious look around. The palette was a sleek mix of gray and white—simple, elegant, professional.
"The Vaughan Group might not have the biggest floor, but the location is prime. And the view's not bad at all," Nanette observed as she sank into the sofa.
They settled in to chat.
Isadora grabbed the taro latte, popped in a straw, and took a long sip. The sweet flavor was pure comfort after weeks of bland, healthy meals.
Nanette shot her a look. "You know you shouldn't have too much—pregnant ladies have to be careful."
Isadora rolled her eyes. "I've been stuck eating so healthy since I got pregnant. I'm dying for a little treat."

The readers' comments on the novel: Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)
It takes too long to get to the point. Too much unnecessary in between in all of these books. Too many extra characters, the authors lose the plot after a while....
