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.

The next morning-

Isadora had an appointment with Nanette for a day of pampering.

Nanette had just wrapped up filming her latest romance drama and, for once, had a few precious days off.

The spa was elegant and serene. Two plush massage beds sat side by side, and the women had changed into soft, comfortable robes.

Nanette was lying face-down for a back treatment, her pale, slender back exposed as the therapist massaged aromatic oils into her skin with practiced hands.

The conversation was easy. "So, Isadora, what did you think of my show?" Nanette asked, glancing over her shoulder.

Isadora, eyes closed, had chosen a simple hydrating facial-no frills, just a gentle cleanse and a cooling moisturizing mask that left her fair skin glowing with a rosy freshness.

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!"
