Chapter: 1959

Bethany, fresh out of the shower, lay waiting in the master bedroom, her heart racing with a mix of excitement and nerves.

Jonathan stepped in, his eyes meeting hers before flicking to the boxes she'd left nearby. He raised an eyebrow, a teasing smile playing on his lips. “Looks like someone's all set for tonight."

Bethany's cheeks glowed warmly in the soft light of the master bedroom, almost turning as red as a tomato.

She found herself reconsidering her decision at that moment.

Perhaps it would be wiser not to have another child or to continue devising plans against Jonathan.
