Chapter 209

She started with the side dish closest to her. The fresh, tangy flavor helped case the nausea that had been bothering her lately.

Sophie ate happily, swaying her head and rocking her body without even realizing it. Her little bare feet swung back and forth under the chair, all trace of her usual poise in front of outsiders completely gone.

While she was eating, a large, elegant hand picked up a small bowl and spoon, scooping some thick soup and placing it in front of her.

Sophie took a few sips, then said, “Helen, didn’t I tell you all to leave? Why are you back again? I don’t need anyone hovering while I eat, I

can–Marcus! What are you doing here?”

Her surprise was so strong she nearly forgot to swallow the soup in her mouth.

Marcus calmly served himself a bowl of the same soup and sat down right beside her.

“Just checking if what they made suits your taste.”

He glanced at the plates that Sophie had nearly polished clean, and a satisfied smile tugged at his lips.

“Looks like I picked the right people for you.”

“Do you have nothing better to do? Why are you always hanging around my house?”

Sophie’s tone was playful on the surface, but underneath she was testing him.

“You’re not seriously trying to become the Chandlers‘ live–in son–in–law, are you?”

“Can’t say that’s impossible.”

Marcus’s lips curved into a roguish, dangerously charming smile. His long fingers idly tapped the rim of his bowl with the spoon.

“I don’t have a job or backing anymore. Don’t you think you should take responsibility for me?”

“Sure.”

Sophie answered without hesitation, narrowing her warm almond–shaped eyes with a teasing look.

“Alright then, tell me–how exactly should I take responsibility?”

Marcus pulled out the apartment key she had given him yesterday and set it on the table.

“Let’s just say a single apartment isn’t enough to buy me off.”

Sophie picked up the key. “You mean you don’t want to move in?”

“No.” Marcus fished another identical key from his pocket, twirling it between his fingers. “I’ve already moved in.”

Sophie blinked in surprise. “You had another copy made? Why?”

“That one’s for you. You can come by anytime you want.”

Then his voice dropped, low and husky, sending a shiver through her,

“Of course…I wouldn’t mind if you stayed with me.

Boom.

Sophie’s face flushed bright red. If she understood him right, was he actually asking her to move in together?

She shoved him away and tried to steady her breathing. Her heart still pounded wildly, but she forced a casual expression onto her face.

“Only you could make moving in together sound so dignified. You missed your calling–forget CEO, you should be doing stand–up.”

Marcus spread his hands. “Well, I don’t have the CEO job anymore.”

“Enough. Finish your food. Afterward, I’m taking you out.”

Sophie absentmindedly stirred her soup with the spoon. “Out for what?”

“Shopping.”

“Marcus, you’re not going to try something that cliché, are you?”

Her mockery was obvious. “You think buying me a bunch of stuff will get me to move in with you?”

For a second, Marcus looked caught, but he quickly recovered.

“You’re overthinking. I just want to get you some maternity things.”

Sophie glanced down at her already slightly rounded belly and believed him. It was true–her usual clothes wouldn’t fit much longer, and it was time to start preparing for the baby.

Without hesitation, Marcus pulled out his phone, found Zack’s number, and blocked it.

None of his advice had been useful anyway.

After they finished eating, Marcus drove Sophie to the largest shopping mall in Riverland. It used to belong to the Morgan Group–his property

once.

Now, though, things had changed. Sophie hesitated.

“Maybe we should disguise ourselves before going in? If people recognize you, they’ll definitely try to cozy up to Gideon by stepping on you.”

Marcus arched a brow. “And how exactly do you plan on disguising me?”

Sophie dug into her bag, pulled out a baseball cap, and shoved it onto his head. Then she handed him a mask.

“Hat and mask, that should do it.”

“I haven’t worn anything like this since I was a teenager.”

He reached up to take off the cap, but Sophie was faster, pinning his hand down.

“Leave it. You look good.”

His hand froze. Outwardly he looked indifferent, but inside, he was secretly pleased.
