A CEO's Revenge Marriage Accidentally in Love

I’m warming my cold hands on my coffee cup. It’s a nice morning, but I’m one of those who freeze even when it’s warm.

A growl from the carpet makes me smile. The puppy is fighting a toy on the floor, and Tobias is shaving inside the bathroom. But I don’t hear his machine going anymore, so maybe he is done.

“It looks good,” his eyes lit up at the compliment. Butterflies bite me at that, and I tap the seat beside me, already nervous about what I’m about to tell him. “Come here. I have something I need to tell you.”

Curiosity glimmers in his eyes. It makes my heart pound even faster. I’m slightly afraid to give the news, but I know I’m being silly. I have nothing to fear. Announcing my pregnancy will make my husband happy. Tobias will be thrilled. Because this is what he wants… right?

He sits beside me, his palms resting on his muscular thighs while he looks at me all expectantly. “Yes?”

“So, I’m…” I trail off, and Tobias seems to be holding back a laugh. His eyes are amused as if he finds it. entertaining that I’m speechless. And he looks so beautiful it’s dizzying thinking he will be my child’s daddy.
