He cheated on her with his secretary, but when they first got together, the secretary was a virgin, totally innocent.
Natalie frowned, standing beside Jordan and looking at him from above. “Jordan, you’re acting weird.”
“You don’t like me sitting on your lap? Is that it? You look like you’re disgusted by me. Are you? Because I’m definitely not disgusted by you, so what gives you the right to judge me? You slept with another woman, you’ve been dirty for a while now, so who are you to look down on me? At least Ethan and I were completely above board. I never even kissed him.”
Jordan swallowed his irritation, fighting to stay calm. “Natalie, you’re reading too much into this. I just don’t want anyone coming in and seeing us. This is the office. If people start talking, the rumors would be terrible. I know nothing happened between you and Ethan. It’s over between me and the secretary, for real. Lately, I come straight home to you after work, I don’t go anywhere else. We both agreed to move past what happened. And honestly, I’m just tired right now. Having you on my lap is a lot.”
Natalie, you mentioned the hospital earlier. Why’d you go?”
Jordan was desperate to change the topic.
He really wanted to know why Natalie had gone to the hospital.
Isabella thought there was a good chance Natalie was pregnant.
Was it true?
“Jordan, I want to show you something.”
Natalie grabbed her bag and pulled out a piece of paper. She handed it to him. “Here, take a look.”
The second she pulled out the hospital report, Jordan’s mind went blank.
Was Isabella’s guess spot-on?
Natalie offered him the report. She saw the color drain from his face—he looked nervous, even scared. She gave him a gentle smile. “Jordan, look at you. I did go to the hospital, but the news is good. You don’t have to freak out like this.”
She reached out and touched his hand. “Baby, we’re going to be parents. I’m pregnant. I’m really pregnant again. This time, our baby will be healthy.”
Natalie said it straightforward, not hiding her excitement.
