Getting A Divorce from Her CEO Husband While Pregnant novel Chapter 278

His voice was low and soft. Clearly, he was trying to ease the tension between us.

I knew I shouldn’t be mad at him anymore unless I wanted a divorce.

After a brief hesitation, I shifted nearer. “It still hurts. I feel sleepy but I can’t fall asleep.”

He pulled me closer to him. “Mm, I know. Close your eyes and stop thinking of anything. You’ll fall asleep soon.”

It was already the next day by the time I woke up.

I thought Ashton would be at work, but he was still lying by my side with his eyes shut. Gazing at his Grecian nose, which cast a shadow on his cheek, my gaze trailed down his face. There was stubble on his chin as he stayed up late last night.

His sleeping figure was handsome and regal, a far cry from his usual icy demeanor. I couldn’t take my eyes off him.

I had a good night’s rest, so my brain was no longer muddled. I stood up to wash myself.

My movements must’ve startled him awake. He pulled me back to the bed, allowing my head to rest on his arm with a light peck on my forehead.

“You’re awake?”

I nodded dazedly. “Why are you not at work?”

He rubbed his chin against my cheek, his stubble prickling my face uncomfortably. “It’s the end of the year, so I will be busy at work soon. I slept in with you because I’m free today.”

I pressed my lips together. “But I have to go to work today!” OrbitTech and White Corporation had started on the project. I was only in charge of the progress, but I had to pay attention anyway.

“I’ll come with you.” He came closer to me.

“Huh?” What does he mean by that?

He raised a brow before kissing the corner of my lip. “Does your company have a rule stating you can’t bring your husband to work?”

No, but…

I stared at him. “I don’t think that’s a good idea.” He was an attractive man in an influential position. If he followed me to work, the others would talk.

“It’s fine. It’s a great idea.”

I was at a loss for words.

“I’ll go wash up!” I rose to my feet and entered the bathroom.

The weather was getting colder as winter had arrived. There was a thick mist hanging in the air outside. I turned on the faucet and waited for a while before the water heated up.

Ashton came in after me. I noticed his dark eye circles. He must’ve slept late last night.

“What time did you fall asleep last night?” I asked.
