Chapter 45
As Hugo entered Olive’s ro
room, a gentle fragrance greeted him.
“You made it,” Olive said, her long robe hinting at her figure.
He pulled her close, concern etched on his face. “You feeling sick, no? Why so dressed down?”
Clive felt a twinge of frustration. Her allure usually had men captivated. But Hugo only noticed her attire
On impulse, she hugged him. I’m fine. Just seeing you eases my worries. Maybe the baby’s missing its dad.”
Hugo stiffened slightly.
Olive

She didn’t need to say a
y a word, her eyes said it all. She leaned in, her lips ready to meet his, but Hugo stepped back at the last second.
“Hugo…” she murmured, her voice tinged with sadness. “What’s up: Don’t you care for me anymore? Why shy away from my touch?”
Hugo’s heart jolted Why? Why did he dodge when Olive leaned in? It’s like my body has a mind of its own, pulling back without him even thinking about it. Looking at Olive, I just don’t feel that rush, that thrill. Nothing And the idea of getting intimate is like a foreign. concept
But with Evalina, it’s a whole different ball game. I’m supposed to be crazy about Olive. I don’t feel a thing for Evalina. Maybe… Maybe I’m just used to Evalina’s closeness. I haven’t been that close with Olive before, so my body is still getting used to it.
Seeing Olive’s sorrowful eyes, he patted her back reassuringly. “It’s not that, Olive. I do care for you. It’s just with the baby on the way. we gonna be careful. Can you sit up?”
Olive, totally pissed off, thought, “He’s giving that baby stuff again! It’s just not the time…
Olive blinked back tears and nodded, nestling against him. “You’re gonna be a great dad. I’m just scared scared you don’t love me.”
Hugo comforted her. “How could I not love you? Don’t go there”
“I guess I’m just being overly sensitive? She forced a smile.
“Yeah, that’s normal when you’re expecting Hugo released her with a small smile, feeling a weird sense of relief.
His mind was a bit jumbled, and after offering a few more comforting words, he felt a deep sense of regret. He’d been so focused on dealing with Evalina’s antics that he’d neglected Olive’s feelings. She was pregnant, and he needed to step up.
“Hey, what’s your craving? Ill whip it up for you,” Hugo said with a grin.
Olive’s eyes lit up. “I love anything you cook.”
Seeing her sweet and sensible side, Hugo felt a warmth in his chest. ‘Olive’s the epitome of a loving partner and future mom. Evalina, with her constant bickering and crude language, doesn’t fit the bill of Mrs. Hayes
