Never Again Yours (Isadora and Magnus)

Chapter 358

Isadora was thinking along the same lines. "Thank you, Mr. Fawcett. You've helped me once again."

Terrell's voice was gentle. "Isadora."

She took a sip of tea. "Yes?"

"About last night..."

Her fingers tightened around the cup.

"I'm sorry I didn't comfort you last night," Terrell said, regret in his tone.

Isadora set her cup down, her expression sincere. "Mr. Fawcett, you already saved me. If not for you, I wouldn't even be here today."

He studied her intently, his voice low. "But in your eyes, I'm still just Mr. Fawcett."

A question that had lingered in her mind finally found its way out. "Why do you care for me? We haven't known each other that long."

A faint, wry smile touched Terrell's lips. "Sometimes, you just know. If I told you right now that I can't imagine my life without you, I doubt you'd believe me. But, Isadora, I want you to know-I don't mind that you're pregnant. If you'll let me, I'd like to take care of both of you."
