Chapter 422

Isadora never managed to say those three words I love you.

Pulling off acrobatics like that while pregnant had left her utterly exhausted; eventually, she fell asleep, drenched in sweat.

Even in her sleep, Isadora vaguely sensed Victor cleaning her up once more, gently drying her hair, then slipping into bed and holding her close as they both drifted off.

Nanette laughed. "I knew it! My fans online keep saying I can still pull off a high school girl—-guess all the skincare pays off. You know, a woman really has to take care of herself."

Just as she finished speaking, Nanette winced. "Ow-easy, please!"

"Sorry, Miss Nanette," the therapist apologized. "Could you lower your robe just a
