Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus) novel Chapter 417

Tears welled up in Isadora's eyes until, at last, they began to fall, one by one.

"You told me pregnant women shouldn't cry, and yet here you are, making me cry again."

Victor reached up and gently brushed the tears from the corners of her eyes, his voice full of tenderness. "You're right. It's all my fault."

"Don't cry, Isadora. I never want to see you cry. If I'd known today would make you upset, I never would've told you."

Isadora wrapped her arms around his neck and buried her face against his shoulder, her tears soaking into his shirt and trickling down to his chest. "If you keep spoiling me like this, I'm going to get used to it."

Victor's gaze softened as a small smile played on his lips. "If I spoil you, then it's my responsibility to the end."

Hearing that, Isadora only hugged him tighter.

Maybe, in a way, this could make up for the past.

She had forgotten him once—forgotten the man she loved.

Looking up, Isadora's eyes were bright and glistening as she took in the handsome face before her. He looked more mature now, but if you looked closely, you could still see the traces of that aloof young man he used to be.

Rising up on her tiptoes, she pressed a gentle, apologetic kiss to his lips, her tears still fresh on her cheeks.

In that instant, a warm, electric tenderness shot straight through Victor's heart.

Victor deepened the kiss, slipping a hand behind her head, tasting her sweetness and drawing her closer.

After a long moment, Isadora leaned against his chest, catching her breath.

Quietly, she asked, "What if I hadn't chosen you in the end? What if I'd never opened my eyes to see you?"

Victor's eyes darkened. He'd considered that possibility, but it wasn't something he wanted to dwell on.

He reached out and pinched her nose, his deep voice tinged with a possessive warmth. "There are no what-ifs."

A sly smile curled at the corners of Isadora's lips, making her look like a mischievous little fox.

"I didn't realize until now, Mr. Victor Fitzgerald, just how bossy you can be."

Victor raised an eyebrow. "You're only realizing that now?"
