A Love Trap

After she finished the meal, she was so full that her stomach bulged a little.

By the time she was done, Nolan had almost finished eating as well. He looked at her and frowned. He knew how much she could eat in the past.

How come she ate so much now?

"Get up. Let's go out for a walk," Nolan told Chloe.

"No, I don't want to move right now."

All she wanted after dinner was to go to sleep.

She wanted to go to bed full.

Nolan pressed his lips together and thought about what she had promised him to do tonight. But now, she was pregnant. Although he did not have much common knowledge about pregnancy, he knew that pregnant women were not allowed to do strenuous exercise.

Looking at Chloe, he felt depressed.

If it were not for Chloe's natural reaction to the news, he would have thought that she had already known that she was pregnant and still promised him to make love.

Looking at Chloe who had now almost fallen asleep, Nolan walked over to her, scooped her up, and headed for the bedroom.

As if Nolan's smell was soothing, Chloe felt safe in his arms and drifted off.

Looking at her reaction, Nolan put her on the bed and fetched some water to clean her face. Then, he washed her feet for her and then covered her with the quilt. After that, he went to the bathroom for a shower.

The next day, Chloe was still dazed when she woke up. She wondered how she fell asleep last night.

She vaguely remembered that she came home from Cynthia's house, and then Nolan came home and made her an entire table of delicious food.

Then, she covered her mouth with her right hand and put her left hand on her belly.

She recalled what she had almost forgotten. It was not just a dream. She was already pregnant.

"Ah!"

Chloe joyfully rolled back and forth on the bed, her soft hair getting messed up all over.
