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."
