And The Daddy Is… The Infertile Guy?!

Chapter 303

Howard didn’t make it home until after eleven that night.

Gwendolyn, pretending to be asleep in the sprawling king–size bed of the master bedroom, heard him arrive. Throughout the day, Marina’s words had festered in her mind, fueling a simmering anger. Determined to give Howard the cold shoulder, she wanted to avoid any chance of his amorous advances tonight.

In the dimly lit room, Howard flicked on the soft amber lamp and changed out of his clothes before sitting on the edge of the bed. He playfully pinched her nose, a chuckle escaping his throat, “What’s got my little spitfire all riled up?”

Clearly, he had caught wind of Marina’s complaints once again.

Gwendolyn’s eyes snapped open, glaring at him. “I’m not,” she retorted, her voice husky with a pronounced nasal quality, betraying her upset.

“Have you taken your medicine?” Howard asked, exasperated as he looked at her.
