My Unborn Baby Chose My Husband for Me novel Chapter 505

"Tired? Not at all."

Seraphina knew he was asking about her work in the division.

"Are you sure?" Lucian moved behind her, gently massaging her shoulders. "Can you really finish years of archives in a single day? Do you want me to send someone down to help you?"

She waved him off. "No way. They're just waiting for me to make a fool of myself. If I bring in help, it means I've surrendered."

Lucian frowned, his hands pausing. "But it's going to be exhausting for you."
