Love on the Fast Track (Derek and Norah)

Chapter 222:

Derek took a sip of water, hesitating whether to tell Madeline about the business. Then, he opted to remain silent, keeping his thoughts to himself. Madeline, lacking any business acumen, wouldn’t grasp the complexities he dealt with daily. What was the point in explaining if she wouldn’t understand?

“Not bad,” Derek finally uttered.

Derek’s eyebrows arched in a show of impatience, but he managed to keep his tone even, preventing Madeline from sensing any displeasure.

“That’s good to hear, Derek.” Madeline’s intention to reveal her pregnancy was abruptly halted as Derek diverted his attention to answer an incoming call. She paused, watching him in silence.

Dressed sharply in a suit, Derek’s appearance was marred slightly by the fringe that obscured his eyes. His lips were a thin line, and his brow creased with concern following the conversation.

“Derek, what was the call about?” No sooner had Derek ended the call than Madeline inquired, eager for insight into the sudden shift in his demeanor.

Gripping the phone firmly, Derek announced, “Norah is with Sean.”
