Chapter 63
Ever since I found out I was pregnant, my sleep had never been worse.
I kept telling myself he was just my ex-husband, but feelings, as it turned out, aren’t something
can control.
The next morning, with dark circles under my eyes, I was about to leave for work when Bryant stopped me in the foyer.
He was decked out in a fitted iron-grey suit that added to his unapproachable vibe but also made him more eye-catching because of his good looks and build.
He handed me a thermal bag without waiting for my response, his voice cool, “Take breakfast with you.”
“Okay.”
I didn’t refuse and took it gracefully. It saved me the trouble of buying breakfast, and considering he’s the father of the child I’m carrying, eating a breakfast he provided didn’t seem too much.
Seeing my reaction, a barely noticeable smile touched the corners of his mouth. “I’m heading to the office too. Let’s go together.”
“Maybe not. It’s better to avoid any awkwardness, in case your darling decides to confront
me.”
“She won’t.”
“So, you admit she’s your darling now?” My tone was unavoidably sarcastic. After saying that, I walked out the door and entered the elevator.
In the underground parking lot, the familiar black Maybach was parked right beside my
car.
I forced myself to ignore it, got into my own car, and was about to start it when Kevin, all smiles, knocked on my window.
He had always been nice to me, and it wasn’t fair to take out my frustration with Bryant on
him.
So I rolled down the window. “Kevin, what’s up?”
“Mrs. Ferguson, good morning.”
Kevin’s face was the picture of eagerness, quickly replaced by an embarrassed but polite smile. “Uh, I think I ran over a nail earlier, and my tire’s flat. Could I possibly catch a ride with you? You know how hard it is to get a cab during the morning rush…”
I chuckled, “Hop in.”
