Chapter 1411: 1050: Fear of Gain and Loss

"Mom... I’m going to hire a nanny... a chef... have someone tidy up the villa..."As he spoke, his gaze fell on the woman, making her skin blush.

*

Charlotte Knight felt embarrassed.

Playing the role of a daughter-in-law for the first time, fortunately, she met a "good mother-in-law."

As she left the living room of the old residence, a servant led her to the villa at the back. The decor was lavish and opulent, and she was truly treated like a Young Madam.

"Miss, this villa is the quietest and most comfortable in the entire estate. It has excellent lighting, and from upstairs you can see the garden. It’s perfect for nurturing a pregnancy. Madam treats you really well..."

Charlotte Knight touched her unremarkable belly: "..." Turns out being pregnant means being served so well?

That night, after drinking too much, she almost forced herself on the second young master!

...

A week later.

Eva Nightingale and Lucas Knight were still on the Marwell Islands.

It was late at night, and the two had silently widened the distance between them.

Both gave each other a sense of insecurity mixed with desire.

In the hot spring pool, the man was soaking.

Eva Nightingale stood beside him and spoke up, "Did you agree?"

He nodded, "Hmm."

Lucas Knight agreed for her to return to Eastern Europe, and she "married" into the family. It had been almost four months, meaning there were only just over six months left.

They...

Hadn’t been together long and were about to part ways.

He knew well that the tighter you chase her, the easier it is to lose her; therefore, he could only proceed gradually.

Today, Dr. Meng called to remind him, and those words still echoed in his ears: "Crown Prince, she is no longer the Young Madam as before. The contract agreement you asked me to draft is effective, and there’s only a little over half a year left. If you really want to have a child with Young Madam, you might need to hurry."

"But Young Madam’s current condition makes it very difficult to conceive... So..." To be blunt, even when the divorce approaches, she might not be pregnant.

Without knowing, people might think there’s something wrong with him. Married for a year, and the beloved wife’s belly hasn’t shown any signs?!

In fact, what Eva Nightingale didn’t know was that inside her...

Dr. Meng’s advice seemed to still linger around his ears.

He coldly lifted his gaze and looked at the approaching woman. The corner of his lips curled into a smile. Although calm on the surface, his eyes were already ablaze with a fierce bath ~~ fire.

Eva Nightingale’s face flushed under his unwavering stare.

"How long are you going to soak, hmm?"

As soon as her words fell, her entire body was encircled by his long arms, her face hitting his firm chest.

The unique scent belonging to Lucas Knight quickly enveloped her.

His large hands, with a faint callousness, slowly moved over the woman’s skin.

Every inch of skin he touched subtly trembled.

Then, her tender skin blushed.

"Let go! Don’t do this..." It’s broad daylight, this is a hot spring pool, and she feared water, although not as much as before, she still had lingering fear.

Thus, Eva Nightingale’s first reaction was to reach out and push Lucas Knight.

Who knew, instead, she was held tighter.

"Mm... ooh... what are you doing!"

He stole a powerful kiss from her, then let go.

His arms were like solid iron locks, keeping her tightly confined. If he didn’t release her, Eva Nightingale couldn’t escape no matter what.

"Even being kissed has a feeling, hmm?"

His alluring eyes narrowed mischievously as he looked at her, outwardly calm, but who knew what kind of fire lurked within his body.~~火.
