The Cold Surgeon's Contract Bride novel Chapter 735

Watching him boast, I just smiled softly, pretending I hadn't noticed the flicker of worry and apprehension in his eyes just moments before.

I grabbed another set of silverware and handed it to him. "Come on, eat with me."

Food was a great comfort after a scare, but I couldn't just sit here and eat while he watched.

Besides, it had been a long time since we had shared a meal like this.

He paused for a second before taking the fork, his smile growing even brighter. "I knew my wife loves me the most. You always share the good stuff with me."

"Who loves you? Don't flatter yourself," I interrupted, still not used to this new boastful side of him. "You just brought too much food, and I can't finish it."

"Whatever the reason, at least I get to have dinner with my wife." He sat down next to me, using a napkin to wipe a stray grain of rice from the corner of my mouth before adding more food to my plate.

He really was treating me like a kid.

My chest warmed again. Without thinking, my left hand drifted down to rest gently on my lower abdomen.

It was still early, just a tiny cluster of cells, so I wasn't showing at all, but I knew without a doubt that a baby was growing inside me.

Our baby.

He just didn't know yet.

I had originally planned to terminate the pregnancy, but I changed my mind. I was going to keep it, but I wanted to keep it a secret. I didn't want him to know.

But now...

I glanced up at him.

If he knew we were having a baby, how would he react? Was he ready to be a father?
