No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 479

“But pride got the better of me, and I suggested we break up. I was determined to make it on my own merit. Now, I've made it, but she won't forgive me. I've lost my true love."

The look on his face told Sasha that he was truly smitten.

Patting his shoulder, she said with a playful grin, "Spill the beans. Who's this girl? I'll help you win her back. There's no heart I can't charm."

Jackson's laugh was tinged with melancholy. "She's too proud to look back. I've tried, but it was no use."

"Who is she, some high-society debutante?"

Jackson hesitated, then replied, "Forget it. Her family is way out of our league."

Sasha was about to press on when the director called out, "You two, hurry up. Wrap it up, and we can grab a bite."

For safety reasons, Clara stayed in the hospital for over a month.

She didn't leave until she was fully recovered.

She was four months pregnant, and her belly was now visibly round.

After being cooped up for so long, Clara was going stir-crazy. As they drove past a shopping mall, she couldn't help but look at Ian with pleading eyes.

"Honey, I'd love to pick out some things for the baby, and oh, I'm really craving hot stew."

Ian wanted to refuse because of safety concerns, but seeing the hope in her eyes, he couldn't bear to say no.

Pinching her cheeks, which had become adorably plump, he spoke in a stern voice, "No wandering off. It's still dangerous out there, got it?"
