Chapter 738:

“Let’s go!”

Eric straightened, effortlessly lifting her onto his back.

But just as he took a step—his entire body stiffened, every muscle going taut. A wave of heat shot up his spine, rushing from his feet straight to his head.

“Hadley,” Eric said. “Please, let’s not make this any tougher…”

Hadley, seemingly in her own world, paid him no heed, her cheek snug against his neck as her kisses persisted.

“Hadley!” Eric’s tone deepened, now coarse with frustration.

Hastening his steps, Eric nearly dashed into the master bedroom.

Shortly thereafter, Hadley found herself playfully thrown onto the bed. “Had… mm…”

Enveloping his neck with her arms, Hadley pressed her lips to his, silencing him with her kiss. “Hadley, Hadley…”

Eric at last managed to disentangle himself, clinging to a fragment of sensibility as he wrestled with the intense longing that surged within him. “Keep in mind, the doctor’s advice was to rest well during this period,” he whispered.

What an absurd notion!

She needed to hurry up if she ever wanted to conceive!

“I don’t wish to rest,” Hadley murmured, her pout playful as she feigned innocence. “I don’t feel sick at all.” Eric found himself unable to resist her.

Feeling a tightness in his throat, he gently moved aside her disheveled hair.

“Are you sure you’re not feeling ill?”

“Mm.” Hadley affirmed, tugging him closer by his collar.

For a moment, Eric was motionless, his pent-up desire breaking free. He enveloped her in his warm breath. “Promise you’ll tell me right away if you start feeling uncomfortable.”

“Eric, stop it! What’s gotten into you?” she exclaimed.

Was she really challenging him? How could she question his intentions when he was only concerned for her wellbeing?

Resolved, he decided not to restrain himself any longer…

Afterwards, Eric stood to fetch some water, carefully helping Hadley drink.

“Take it easy.”

Hadley agreed, snuggling closer within his embrace.

Eric wrapped his arms around her waist, his hold firm and unyielding.

Tonight, he could feel her unusual eagerness—was it fear driving her? She had tried reaching Eric after their argument over her relationship with Denver, but he hadn’t responded to her calls.

Was she terrified that he might end things with her over this? That must be why she was holding on so desperately this evening.

Eric experienced a mix of fulfillment and sorrow. As he caressed her hair, he whispered her name gently, “Hadley.”

“Mm?” she purred.

“Don’t worry.” His kiss was tender. “I’m not going anywhere.”

Startled by his assurance, Hadley looked up at him sharply. Eric seized the moment, pressing his cheek gently against hers, whispering, “My feelings for you are so strong, I couldn’t stand to lose you.”
