A Love Trap

After returning home, Chloe felt a little depressed. She sat on the sofa in the living room and touched her belly.

When would she have a baby like Ashley?

She and Nolan had been preparing for it for so long, and Nolan had worked so hard every night.

She should have a baby as a product of their love by now.

'Maybe I should go to the hospital and consult a specialist, ' she thought.

When she thought of seeing Cynthia today and how it felt when she touched her stomach and felt the child in her, she could not help getting lost in her thoughts.

She even did not notice it when somebody came into the room until a shadow cast over her face.

She snapped back to reality and raised her head to look at Nolan. She said in surprise, "I thought you were on a business trip."

His business trips usually lasted at least three days. This time, he had come back in two days. It was sooner than she expected. "Has there been a problem?"

She continued to ask.

Nolan ran his fingers through his hair and replied, "No, everything is fine."

It was just that he missed her. He did not want to away on his business trip for too long, so he came back earlier than expected. He had finished most of his work there anyway and the rest could be done by someone else in his team.

He did not expect to see Chloe sitting on the couch in the living room, moping. He wondered if anybody made her feel that way.

Nolan sat down beside her and put his arm around her waist. "What's the matter? Why do you look so upset? Did anybody give you a hard time?"

"No, it's not that. And by the way, I'm not a person anyone could bully. I do the bullying, you know that," Chloe snapped at him.

Nolan smiled at her answer and thought she was right. It was her personality.
