Dangerous Love: You Are My One and Only Bride novel Chapter 974

He was so anxious that he dared not move. “Can you please not do that? And be gentle with yourself, will you? Take a page out of Arianne’s book from when she was pregnant. She was careful instead of acting like it’s nothing! You know what? I’m sleeping in another room. You’re on your own, so take care. Don’t find yourself rolling off the bed in the morning.”

Tiffany was surprised that Jackson would leave her. “Wait, so you’re serious? Really? Uh, whatever then. If it makes you happy, then go sleep elsewhere. Meanwhile, I’m gonna enjoy this big, wide bed for myself to my heart’s content. Move aside! And turn off the lights on your way out.”

Jackson made his way out of the bedroom, shooting her multiple worried glances every few steps on his way. Then, on his way out, he switched off the lights and closed the door.

Jackson admitted that he might have acted a little too anxiously, but he just could not help becoming more restrained whenever he was reminded of the new life now incubating inside of her. He could not make sure that he would keep his desires in check if they slept together. Indeed, he was worried that he might lose control. Similarly, Jackson was afraid that he might accidentally lay himself over her stomach while he tossed and turned during sleep.

The impact brought by the news of her pregnancy could not be understated. Jackson reckoned that it was akin to being bonked on the head with a baseball bat.

There was new trouble in Tremont Estate. Smore had learned to sleep later than he used to. Right now, the baby’s large, goggly black eyes refused to close despite his parents’ efforts.

Arianne looked at the growing frustration in Mark’s eyes and held herself back from helplessly chuckling out loud. Tried as she might, she could not bring herself to leave her adorable little Smore alone just so she could spend some husband-and-wife time with Mark. Honestly, Smore edged out her husband when it came to their standing in her heart.

Smore had also begun showing rejection of those he deemed strangers, which was why Mary had not been able to carry him lately. Left with no choice, Arianne had been focusing on the baby so much that she inadvertently neglected Mark a little.

On the other hand, Mark wanted peace and quiet to return to him as soon as possible. To that end, he had taken up the role of World’s Best Dad Contender and brought Smore for a walk in the yard. He gently soothed the child, hoping that he would fall asleep.

An hour was almost up. He stealthily approached Arianne and said, “Look at him for me. Is he asleep?”

She circled behind him, looked at Smore leaning on Mark’s shoulder, and giggled. “His eyes are opening so wide that they’re bigger than yours now!”
