Three Years Forgotten, Why Go Crazy When I Say Goodbye? novel Chapter 633

After dinner, Willow and Silas headed back to their own place. As night fell and the city quieted down, the bedroom was enveloped in a peaceful intimacy.

Willow curled up against his chest, her fingers idly tracing the hem of his shirt. She hesitated for a long time before looking up, her eyes wide and pleading. "Silas? Can I run something by you?"

He was lying on his back, one arm resting behind his head while his other hand gently stroked her flat stomach. At her soft tone, he looked down, his gaze melting into pure affection. "Anything. What is it?"

"I want to go back to work at the office. Is that okay?" She blinked up at him, testing the waters carefully. Given how overprotective he had been lately, she wasn't entirely sure he'd agree.

Sure enough, Silas's hand paused on her stomach, a flicker of hesitation crossing his sharp features.

Even before the pregnancy, he had spoiled her rotten, refusing to let her suffer even the slightest hardship. Now that she was carrying their child, she was the absolute center of his universe. He wanted to keep her under lock and key, guarding her twenty-four-seven. The thought of her commuting and dealing with corporate stress made his chest tighten.

But he couldn't bear to be harsh with her. "Wouldn't it be nice to just rest at home?" he murmured softly. "Take this time to actually relax for once."

Willow knew exactly what he was thinking. He was terrified she'd overwork herself or get hurt.

She shifted slightly, swinging a slender leg over his hips to straddle him. Wrapping her arms loosely around his neck, she melted against his chest, her voice dropping into a sweet, persuasive whisper. "But sitting around the house all day is driving me crazy. I promise I'll be so careful. I won't run around, I won't take on heavy projects, and I'll stay at my desk. I'll make sure the baby and I are perfectly safe. Please?"

She looked down at him, her eyes bright and the corners slightly flushed, pouring on the charm in a way he found impossible to resist.
