My Coldhearted Ex demands a Remarriage by Eva Blackwood

Chapter 460:

Setting aside his newspaper, Shawn interjected thoughtfully, “Kristopher may not have been the most attentive husband recently, but he and Lise do share a history. It would be heartless of him to remain indifferent to her struggles.”

You’re looking a bit slender, especially if you’re considering a baby soon. You’re quite photogenic as is, no need to chase after some unrealistic ideal of slimness.”
