No Strings Attached novel (Clara and Ian) novel Chapter 489

Chase's laughter was laced with triumph. "Great, we can't miss such a joyous occasion. Godparents have to be there."

After hanging up the phone, Clara stood frozen in place, unable to shake off the shock.

Ian walked in just in time to witness her daze. He strolled over and kissed her swelling belly, chuckling, "What's on your mind that's got you so spaced out?"

Clara's eyes sparkled with mirth as she looked up at him. "You were spot on—Ian, Sasha, and Chase are an item now."

Ian's brow furrowed. "What do you mean by 'an item?'"

"You know, they've hit the sheets. Sasha doesn't just get intimate with anyone. She must have feelings for him. Ian, wouldn't it be wonderful if those two really hit it off?"

Ian pinched her chubby cheek affectionately and said with a smile, "I'm afraid it's not that simple. Sasha won’t give it up to Chase that easily."

"Why not? Chase seems like a perfect match for her. Are you keeping something from me?"

"Just a hunch," he replied, although there was no way he'd tell his wife that Sasha was actually the one Chase had broken off an engagement with.

Chase's journey to win back Sasha was not going to be an easy ride, not if Ian had anything to say about it.

Ian picked up a cardigan from a nearby chair and draped it over Clara's shoulders, suggesting with a smile, "The sun's lovely today. How about I take you out to soak up some vitamin D?"

As they descended the staircase and looked up at the clear blue sky, Clara sighed wistfully, "I'd love to go out, maybe hit the mall."
