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.

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."
