The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 985

“Big bad wolf is so scary. Anya doesn’t like big bad wolf.”

“Yeah. As long as you like me, that’s all that matters. I’ll buy you even more beautiful princess dresses.”

“Mmm…Anya likes Nathan the best.”

Nathan smiled, scoring a sweet kiss from Anya.

He played with Anya in the living room for a while, before Margo called them for dinner. Noticing there were only two bowls on the table, he placed Anya in a chair, checked his watch, and realized it was usual dinner time.

Margo finally served a bowl of soup, placing it in the center of the table.

“Where’s Yulia? Isn’t she coming home tonight?”

Margo had been working here for quite a while, and she had witnessed the unique dynamics between the couple, gaining some understanding. Times had changed, and so had people. Nothing surprised her anymore.

Upon hearing Nathan’s question, Margo nodded, “Yeah, she said so this morning. She won’t be home for dinner and asked me not to prepare food for her.”

Nathan’s face turned cold, “Not coming back?”

“I’m not sure about that. She told me to wait for her. If she doesn’t come back tonight, I should stay here.”

Only then did Nathan remember the conversation Yulia and Margo had at the door this morning.

But wasn’t it usually him who came back to take care of the child? Why wasn’t Margo allowed to leave today?

And also- Not coming back?

Just as he was thinking about this, his phone rang. It was Yulia.
