Ditched the Cheater, Pregnant by Mr. Righ novel Chapter 210

Chapter 210 Too Close to Ignore

Finished

Quinn pulled her hand back quickly, her voice low but firm. “That’s not really appropriate.”

Julian looked at her, calm and direct. “You kissed me, and now you’re worried about what’s appropriate?”

Her face heated up instantly, and she dropped her gaze, unable to respond.

Julian didn’t push further on that point. Instead, he picked up a small piece of lean meat and placed it into her bowl. “Just a little. You shouldn’t have too much.”

Quinn stared at the food but didn’t move.

Julian noticed immediately. “What, you don’t trust me?”

It wasn’t that.

It was just that everything about this felt too close, too fast, like they had skipped steps she didn’t even know how to define.

Yes, she had kissed him.

Yes, she had held onto him.

But none of that had happened while she was fully aware of what she was doing.

Sitting here now, completely clear–headed, even meeting his eyes felt like too much.

Back when she thought she liked Chase, things had felt simple.

There had been happiness, but not this.

Not this constant awareness of every little detail, every glance, every shift in tone,

Now she understood.

This was what it actually felt like to like someone.

It was overwhelming.

“Are you going to eat that?” Julian asked, watching her. “If not, I’ll take it back. I guess I still have some work to do if you’re already avoiding me.”

Before he could finish, Quinn quickly picked it up and ate it, as if proving a point she couldn’t even explain.

A quiet laugh slipped out of Julian. “Alright. I take that back.”

“Can we not talk about this?” Quinn muttered, lowering her head even more. “Just eat.”

Julian didn’t argue, but instead held his bowl out toward her, waiting.

10:42 am Pppp.

Quinn froze.

Her thoughts immediately went somewhere she didn’t want them to.

Sharing utensils, sharing food…

Isn’t that basically like an indirect kiss?

Her face grew even warmer. Julian wasn’t doing this to tease her.

He had simply realized something.

She kept pulling away from him, keeping a distance that didn’t match what had already happened between them.

If he didn’t do something, that distance would only grow.

So he chose the simplest way to close it.

Even if it meant pushing just a little.

He was prepared to stop if she refused.

He wasn’t in a rush.

But then, unexpectedly, Quinn moved.

She quickly picked up a small piece of food and dropped it into his bowl, her movements fast and almost clumsy, then immediately lowered her head and focused on eating like nothing had happened.

Like if she didn’t acknowledge it, it wouldn’t count.

Julian watched her for a second, then couldn’t help the smile that followed.

How is she this easy to read?

He reached out and lightly ruffled her hair. “Good.”

Quinn’s face turned bright red all over again.

She didn’t eat much after that, not because she wasn’t hungry, but because she didn’t trust herself to stay calm.

Julian noticed and said quietly, “Eat a little more.”

She shook her head.

The next moment, he picked up some food and held it near her lips. “Come on, just one more bite.”

Quinn froze completely.

Her mind went blank.

10:42 am Pppp.

That kind of gesture was too intimate, too natural, like something that belonged in a relationship she wasn’t ready to define.

And suddenly, a thought slipped in that she couldn’t stop.

Has he done this before, with someone else?

He had said that was his first kiss.

But could that really be true?

Someone like him, confident, composed, effortlessly attentive, it didn’t make sense that there had never been anyone before.

The thought shifted something inside her, turning that earlier warmth into something sharper, something she didn’t want to name.

She turned her head slightly. “I’m full.”

Julian paused, his hand still for a second before lowering it.

He didn’t fully understand what had changed, but he could feel it.

He had pushed too far, too quickly.

Too fast.

He set the food down and adjusted his tone. “You sure?”

Quinn nodded.

Julian stood up and stepped back slightly, giving her space. “Then get up for a bit. Walk slowly.”

He was still attentive, still careful, but now there was a deliberate distance in the way he moved.

Quinn lowered her gaze, but the thought wouldn’t go away.

No matter what he did next, it stayed there, lingering.

Has he treated someone else like this before?
