“Don’t forget to ask about prenatal vitamins.”
I shook my head, looking at him dumbfounded. “The amount of knowledge you know about pregnancy is truly alarming. They’re going to check my blood too. I feel like I may be anemic right now. I’m so tired all the time.”
He grinned. “I do keep you up at night.”
“That you do. It’s actually your specialty.”
The door opened, and we stepped off.
“Have a great day, kitten.”
I smirked. “You just made sure of it.”
He winked at me before we went our separate ways. I spent the entire morning on phone calls about our merger and how it would affect the future of our businesses. By noon I was beyond exhausted, yawning as my grandfather walked into my office.
“Good afternoon, Belle.”
“What do I owe this unexpected appearance?”
He sat in the chair in front of my desk. “Can’t a grandfather just stop by to see his beautiful granddaughter?”
“Beautiful granddaughter?” I cocked my head to the side. “Why do I feel like you’re buttering me up?”
“We haven’t spoken since you got married, and I wanted to see how things were going.”
“Oh, I see. Are you asking me if I’m pregnant?”
“Are you?”
“Not right now, but we’re trying.”
“In all hours of the day and work environments.”
I’m going to kill Tristian.
“Umm … well, you know… Have to strike while the iron is hot.”
“You remind me of your grandmother at your age.”
Kill me now.
“This is a fantastic talk, but I have to wrap things up for my doctor’s appointment this afternoon.”
“Are you feeling alright?”
“I’m fine. It’s just a checkup.”
“Okay.” He went to stand, but I couldn’t help myself.
I blurted, “Tristian told me why he left after my debutante ball.”
He sighed, sitting back down. “I imagined he’d tell you eventually.”
“Do you want to explain your side of the story?”
“You’re married, aren’t you? In the end, we all got what we wanted.”
“So us getting married wasn’t just about your merger?”
