The Billionaire’s Fight For Redemption (Noah and Sierra) novel Chapter 167

Chapter 167

Adrian looks up from his chart and when our eyes meet, as cliché as it may sound, for a moment the world stops. It’s like everything freezes in time except for the

“Sierra,” he greets with a warm smile. “Good to see you again.”

“H–Hi,” I stammer, immediately feeling ridiculous.

His gaze flicks to my hand. “What happened there?”

“Oh, it’s nothing,” I say quickly, dismissing it because I didn’t want to explain what exactly happened. “Just a small accident.”

His brow furrows. “Are you alright? Did it happen at work?“1

That simple concern makes something in my chest twist. I barely know him, so why do I react to him in this manner?

“Yes, I’m totally okay… and no, it didn’t happen at work”

He gives me a long stare, almost as if he’s trying to look past my very soul, which just makes me shift nervously on my feet.

“Let’s get started,” he nods and finally say while gesturing at the bed.

I lie back and lift my blouse as he prepares the gel. The cold touch makes me flinch, and he gives me an apologetic smile.

Then the room fills with the steady hum of the machine and the beautiful sound of my baby’s heartbeat.

“Everything looks perfect,” Adrian murmurs. “Strong heartbeat, healthy growth. You’re doing really well.”

My throat tightens, tears threatening. I nod, unable to speak. I’d been so worried that the stress of what happened these past weeks would have an effect on the baby, but hearing he’s doing well eases that worry.

He glances at me, a soft smile tugging at his lips. “It amazes me how women cry every time they see or hear their baby’s heartbeat. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. The love shinning in their eyes always makes my day.”

I get lost in those eyes. “You’re really passionate about your job.”

He lets out a small chuckle. “I am… Watching those babies grow, and then helping bring them into the world is something I could never get tired of”

Ah, Damn. Way to make a woman crush on you.

He continues the check–up, his touch so gentle it almost feels reverent, and the whole time I can’t take my eyes from him. It’s like they’re glued to him and they register nothing but him.

I breathe in, trying to push down whatever that has me drawn to him. Maybe it’s my hormones. I read somewhere that during pregnancy women get really horny… so maybe that’s it, right?

But then the talk I had with Lilly plays in my head. I push that down too, beacuse I just can’t deal with it.

When it’s over, I sit up and pull my blouse down.

“Thank

to me?

you…” I say, getting down from the bed, ready to bolt out of the room because what the hell is happening
