Chapter 647 Both of Them Were Startled

“Click!” The door clicked shut softly, and both sighed in relief.

Daisy relaxed and flopped onto the sofa. “That was so embarrassing,” she exclaimed.

Outside, waiting for the elevator, Anthony’s fingers trembled, but he couldn’t help smiling.

When he came back with a big bag of supplies, he unlocked the door with his fingerprint and tiptoed inside.

Daisy had already gone to her room to rest.

The door was closed, but not locked.

Anthony wanted to knock but didn’t dare. He opened the door quietly.

Daisy was already asleep on the bed. The blanket was half on her, half on the floor.

He took off his shoes, walked in wearing socks, and stood by the bed, looking at her.

He remembered that night, pressing her down, her eyes covered by his tie, crying the whole time.

Afterward, he’d had the nerve to ask her to help him out.

And she’d done it.

When she left the hotel, she’d gone to a nearby pharmacy for contraceptive pills. He’d expected that.

He’d thought they would never cross paths again.

He pulled a few candies from his pocket, put them on the nightstand, picked up the blanket from the floor, tucked her in, and walked out.

In the living room, he saw the pile of unopened packages in the corner, the ones she hadn’t opened before Joseph took her home.

He got scissors from a drawer and carefully opened them one by one.

Most of the items were household decorations and children’s toys, but the only thing that stood out was an elegant box. He hadn’t opened it. He’d set aside anything shipped as “private” in a separate spot.

Daisy slept for three hours, finally woken by a falling sound.

She lay in bed for a long time before slowly getting up.

She noticed the candies on the nightstand.

He didn’t let her lock the door because he was afraid she might faint from low blood sugar and have no one to help her.

She smiled softly, unwrapped one, put it in her mouth, then put on her slippers and walked out.

Anthony was carrying flattened cardboard boxes outside.

“Did I wake you?” He looked embarrassed.

“No,” she replied, shaking her head.

“Thanks for these…”

This was the second time she had thanked him. The first had been in bed.

Anthony nodded and kept cleaning.

“I need to go home for a while,” Daisy said to him.

“Okay.”

He wanted to ask if she needed a ride, but she didn’t suggest he come along.

He didn’t know if she’d come back tonight, or when.

Daisy went back to her room, changed clothes, and hurried out.

Anthony thought for a moment, and then kept cleaning.

Around seven in the evening. Daisy returned to the penthouse.

She walked in. It was pitch black. She assumed Anthony must have gone out, though he still hadn’t told her, as was his habit.

She was about to turn on the light when she saw a tall figure stand up from the sofa.

The sight reminded her of that unforgettable night.

That night had been the same, total darkness, a man standing in front of her…

She dropped what she was holding, stepped back, and hit the light switch. The room flooded with light.

She leaned against the shoe cabinet, one hand on her belly, the other on her chest.

Anthony watched her as she stood there, terrified, her lips pale and her hands still trembling.

On the floor lay a household register and her ID card.

“Why didn’t you turn on the lights when you got home?” she snapped, expressing her frustration.

He approached her, observing her reddened eyes as he gathered the documents.

“I’m sorry,” he replied, unsure what to say.

Daisy hadn’t meant to snap. Since getting pregnant, she’d become more casily frightened, and she wasn used to having someone else in the house.

She’d gotten a real scare.

Seeing Anthony too afraid to speak, she softened.

She took a moment, then walked over and hugged him.

Anthony stood frozen.

Daisy hugging him caught him completely off guard.

“Give me a hug. You scared me.” Daisy buried her face in his chest.

Anthony stroked her head and gently rubbed her back.

This was the first time they’d held each other like this, fully conscious.

Daisy breathed in his scent. It made her feel safe.

She hadn’t planned to do this. But she’d pushed him away earlier. Now he was the father of her children. No matter what, they had to get used to each other.

And she’d been frightened. She wanted him to comfort her. She didn’t overthink it. She just hugged him and found an excuse so neither would feel awkward.

“Sorry,” he said, holding her tighter.

Daisy suddenly realized that Anthony didn’t like having the lights on.

That night at the hotel, it had been the same.

After a long while, they let go.

Anthony looked at the documents in his hand and seemed to understand.

Didn’t you cook dinner?” she asked.

He nodded. He’d thought Daisy would be too scared to come back, not that she’d gone home to get the

documents.
