Chapter 24

Chloe's POV:

On Saturday afternoon, the employees visited the beautiful scenery of Moon Bay under the guidance of the resort's reception.

I didn't see Henry in the whole afternoon. I still didn't see him until dinner time. I was a little disappointed.

Suddenly, Joy chuckled and whispered into my ear, "What's wrong? You've missed your boss?"

"I'm just a little tired." I didn't deny Jy's teasing.

Joy immediately said, "To be honest, you've been wandering around for half a day this afternoon. You're tired. Go back and rest quickly. Baby is the most important thing now."

"Yes." I nodded. I got up and walked towards the VIP area.

I entered the door of the VIP area and saw the secretary of Henry, Ava, walking over with a thick folder in her arms.

"Hello, madam." Ava greeted me.

In private, Ava addressed me as his wife, respectfully and politely. On public occasions, she treated me equally and didn't give me any preferential treatment. Maybe this was why Ava was trusted by Henry, because she was really very reliable in doing things, and she could also understand Henry's requirements.

"You haven't eaten yet?" Just now in the restaurant, I didn't seem to see Ava either. Ava lowered her head to look at the document in her arms. She said, "Mr. William wants me to quickly scan the document. I have to finish my work before I can eat."

I frowned and thought, "Is he still working?"

Ava seemed to have seen through my doubts. She immediately said, "After lunch, Mr. William went back with Connor. There's an important project over there that needs him."

Hearing these words, I understood. No wonder I didn't see him and Connor for an entire afternoon and a whole night. It turned out that they had already gone back.

"Then I'll go back to my work." Ava smiled at me and left quickly.

Looking at Ava's back, I suddenly felt a little lost.

Go back? There were more than two hours' journey between the two places. It seemed that he would not come back tonight.

I felt a little disappointed at the thought of not seeing him tonight.

I went back to my room and took a shower. Then I turned off the lights and went to sleep. After all, I was really tired today.

When I was in a daze, I heard a faint sound of footsteps, followed by the rustling of clothes.

Then a strong arm behind me pulled me into a warm chest, and I woke up completely.

Without looking back, I knew that the person behind me was Henry. His strong arms and unique aura could be recognized by me as soon as I saw him.

I looked up at the dark sky outside. It should be very late.

"You... Why are you back?" I couldn't help asking my own question.

Now it was estimated that it was already one or two o'clock in the middle of the night. It was too dangerous and too tired for him to drive back in the middle of the night. Besides, there was no work waiting for him here.

Could it be that he was missing me? The thought came to my mind and I was shocked!

Was I overestimating myself? Would an outstanding man like him fall in love with me? My face couldn't help but have a fever.

"Oh, I feel that the air here is good, so I came here to rest." The person behind hesitated for a moment and answered.

His reason was too far-fetched, because he drove back in the middle of the night just for the fresh air here?

His reason was unreasonable, but I didn't continue to ask.

Night, it's quiet. We didn't speak anymore. I couldn't help but feel sleepy again. I only felt that my neck was being rubbed by a furry thing.

It was Henry's head.

"Does he want to tease me again?"

Although haven't had an obvious pregnancy reaction yet, I can't bear his entanglement for two consecutive nights.

I couldn't help saying, "No... no more!"

"No more what?" Henry's voice was very charming.

"I... I have a baby in my belly, so I can't bear your desire." When I said this, my cheeks were hot.

As soon as finished speaking, the person behind me said, "This afternoon, I negotiated with the person in charge of a company for eight hours. After dinner, I directly drove here. I am very sleepy now. Even if you have any desires now, I can't satisfy you."

This man was obviously flirting with me on purpose, but now he said that it was my desire?

I turned around and raised my little fist to hit his chest. "You're so annoying!"

Henry laughed and let me beat him on the chest a few times, and then I was tightly held in his arms.

My face was pressed against his muscular chest. At this moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of happiness.

Perhaps he was really tired, and soon I heard the steady breathing of Henry. Under the moonlight, I looked up and found that he was indeed asleep. It was the first time that I could look at him without any scruples. He was really handsome. Although sometimes his words were not pleasant, sometimes he was very considerate.

I never dreamed of marrying such a man. Although don't know how long this man can be my husband, at least at this moment, I am enjoying his warmth and hug.

I didn't know how long I looked at this handsome face before going to sleep. I only knew that I woke up late the next morning. When I woke up, he was gone again.

The sun was shining brightly outside. I sat up and stretched. I felt that I had a good sleep last night. In my sleep, I was hugged by a pair of strong arms. It really gave me a sense of security.

As soon as I got up and opened the curtains, the phone in the room rang.

I walked to the bedside and picked up the phone. Ava's voice came from the other end. "Madam, are you awake? The breakfast is ready. Do you need the waiter to send it to your room now?"

"Thank you. Ask the waiter to bring it here," I said.

"Okay." The other end of the phone was about to hang up.

I quickly asked in the last second, "Well... where did he go?"

"Ah?" Ava was stunned for a moment, and then she said, "This morning, at nine o'clock in the morning, there was a ribbon-cutting ceremony. That's why he left with Connor at half-past six."

What? He's back in City again? I can't come to my senses at once.

So he had only slept for more than four hours last night?
