My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 235

By evening, Lucian had not returned for dinner due to a business engagement.

With the Eastside Project gearing up for development, his schedule was packed with meetings and dinners.

Seraphina understood.

After dinner, she took a brief stroll in the garden.

Following that, she read for a bit before heading in to take a shower.

In her third trimester, Seraphina constantly felt sluggish and heavy, waddling around like a little penguin.

Every movement she made was slow and deliberate.

When Lucian returned from his dinner, he found the living room empty and headed straight for the bedroom.

The warm yellow wall sconces were glowing, the blanket was pulled back on one side, but the bed was empty.

The bathroom door was slightly ajar, letting out bright white light and the muffled sound of running water.

She was taking a shower.

For some inexplicable reason, Lucian suddenly felt a rush of heat.

He loosened his tie.

"Ah!"

A sudden cry from the bathroom startled him.

Seraphina's foot had slipped, nearly sending her tumbling.

In a split second, the glass door was yanked open from the outside.

The steam billowing out carried the sweet scent of her body wash.

Lucian stepped inside with a massive stride, one arm wrapping firmly around her waist to steady her.

Their eyes locked.

The air in the room stood completely still for two solid seconds.

When Seraphina finally snapped back to reality, her face flushed crimson.

She frantically grabbed a towel from the rack to cover her front.

"When... when did you get back? I didn't even hear you come in!" Seraphina was so embarrassed she wanted the floor to swallow her whole.

More than half of his dress shirt was soaked, clinging to his torso and outlining the defined muscles underneath.
