I Walked Away And He Lost His Mind (Zephyra and Steven) novel Chapter 768

Steven gently set the cake down and sat beside me, his eyes soft as he asked, “How are you feeling today? Are you tired?”

I shook my head. “Same as usual.”

Steven looked at me intently. “Much better than in our past life, I’d say.”

His words made me pause for a moment before I realized he was talking about my morning sickness. Early in my last pregnancy, there was a period where I was constantly throwing up after eating, and it was awful.

Back then, I was always calling for him to come home. While part of it was me being dramatic to get his attention, most of it was because I genuinely felt miserable. Come to think of it, this time around, aside from being hungry and sleepy, I hadn't had any other symptoms.

I gave him a once-over and said coolly, “What, are you disappointed that I’m fine?”

I knew that wasn't what he meant; I was just trying to pick a fight. Our increasingly peaceful dynamic was starting to panic me, making me feel like I was walking straight towards a cliff's edge with my eyes wide open.

Steven chuckled, his gaze full of affection. “Of course not. If you’re not feeling sick, then I’m the happiest person here. Otherwise, do you think I’d be able to sit here so calmly?”

He was right. Knowing my personality, if I felt sick, he'd be the first to suffer. If the baby made me miserable, I'd make him miserable.

I had no time to argue with him now; my mind was entirely on the cake. “Hurry up, I want to eat.”

Steven glanced at me, his eyes brimming with adoration. “As you wish!”

The private bakery not only made delicious cakes but also had exquisite, elaborate packaging that required patience. I watched as Steven's long, slender fingers deftly worked on the wrapping.

Finally, the last ribbon was untied. I swallowed, my eyes fixed on the box.
