Ditched the Cheater, Pregnant by Mr. Righ novel Chapter 164

Chapter 164 Too Close

Adele straightened up. “Quinn, keep going. I’ll check on Jordan.”

With that, she left. The entire studio fell quiet, leaving just the two of them.

Quinn’s hand trembled slightly, her fingertips brushing the side of his neck.

“Take your time,” Julian said softly.

His voice made her heart skip, a sudden wave of nerves rising.

She quickly pulled the tape back. “Maybe we should wait. Adele needs to write everything down…”

“You can just call out the numbers,” Julian said. “I’ll remember them.”

“There are a lot of measurements…”

“Don’t trust me?” There was a hint of a smile in his voice. “Let’s test it.”

Quinn hesitated.

There were so many numbers. There was no way he could actually remember all of them.

And she definitely didn’t want to do this twice.

“What’s the neck measurement?” he asked.

Quinn took a breath, forcing herself into work mode. She gave him the number.

Julian nodded. “Got it. Keep going”

He stood naturally, arms relaxed at his sides.

Now came the chest measurement. To do it properly, she would have to wrap the tape around him.

Just picturing that made her freeze. It would look like she was hugging him.

Julian understood exactly what she was thinking.

He didn’t want to make things harder for her, but he also didn’t want her to keep pulling away like this.

It might be uncomfortable to get through this moment.

But once they did, things could finally shift.

So even seeing her hesitate, he didn’t step back.

Instead, he took the tape from her hands, wrapped it around himself, and handed both ends back to her.

That way, she didn’t have to reach around him.

“Go ahead,” he said.

Quinn blinked, caught off guard. Something in her chest softened.

She lowered her gaze. “Thanks.”

Her fingers held the tape, and even through the fabric of his shirt, she could feel a faint warmth.

Julian turned his head slightly, his throat tightening.

For Quinn, this was difficult. For Julian, it wasn’t any easier.

She was already being as careful as possible, her touch light and controlled. But he was far too aware of her.

Standing this close, hearing her breathing, catching the subtle scent of her, it was enough to make his body

tense.

And her fingertips, brushing against him every so often, made it worse.

Like something light and teasing, just enough to keep him on edge.

It was almost unbearable. That was why he had wrapped the tape himself earlier.

If she had done it, he wasn’t sure he could have stayed composed.

He closed his eyes. Without sight, everything else sharpened.

Her breathing, soft and steady.

The light pressure of her fingers moving across his chest. The faint trace of her scent lingering in the air.

Each one chipped away at his control. The discipline he had always relied on was slipping.

“Inhale… exhale…” Julian felt the tension building.

Meanwhile, Quinn gradually relaxed, slipping fully into her work.

At first, she had only thought he had a great build. But without real measurements, she hadn’t realized just how exceptional it was.

Now, as she read off each number, she couldn’t help but feel impressed. How could someone have proportions like this?

Even the reference models from her art classes didn’t compare.

Everyone had their own sense of beauty. But to Quinn, every single measurement of Julian’s body lined up perfectly with her aesthetic.

Is this what people mean by a muse…?

She didn’t want to admit it. But she couldn’t deny it either.

Chapter 164 Too Close.

In that moment, her fear and hesitation faded.

All that remained was appreciation. She relaxed.

Julian, on the other hand, grew even more tense.

After finishing the upper body, she moved on. Waist, inseam, thighs, calves…

Finished

Once she was focused, Quinn worked quickly and efficiently. After stepping down from the platform, she crouched near his feet-

Julian suddenly took a step back. Quinn froze and looked up instinctively.

From where she was, he seemed even taller, his presence more overwhelming. Like something solid and unshakable.

Julian avoided her gaze. With her crouched there, looking up like that…

It was too much.
