The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 35

Hayley's face tightened, and the next second, she caught the sharp glance Cyrus threw her way. "Am I wrong? You're not seriously thinking this baby will make me marry you, right?" Cyrus' voice was tinged with frost by the end.

Hayley immediately tensed up. "No, that's not what I meant. Mr. Gordon, I haven't forgotten our agreement.'

Cyrus had made it clear. He'd make her a star in Hollywood if she had a child with him.

"Good to know." Cyrus gently placed Hayley on the sofa and stood up.

"You've twisted your ankle. Rest for now, and you can make a big comeback after the baby's born." His tone was commanding, leaving no room for doubt.

If it weren't for Nancy refusing his touch, he wouldn't have to resort to having a child with another woman. As Cyrus turned to leave, Hayley grabbed his hand and looked at him pitifully. "Cyrus, are you leaving? It's rare for you to visit, and I've missed you..." She let her robe fall open to reveal her outfit underneath. Cyrus' gaze darkened, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

Hayley recognized that look immediately it was like a snake wrapping around its prey. She wrapped her arms tightly around Cyrus' neck, her breath sweet like orchids, and cooed, "Come on, Cyrus."

Though there was a hint of ambiguity in Cyrus' eyes, he still retained some sense of reason.
