No welcome.
No asking about her body.
No inquiring about their unborn baby.
Isla expected her husband to ask this question, but somewhere deep in her heart, she still had a tiny expectation for the opposite of his actions.
Now he had to quench that expectation by asking about his lover. He did not see his pregnant wife, but another woman, who is also carrying his child.
Isla has always wondered why she can not get her husband's love. She knew the novel plot might have a hand, but she wonders...why?
Why couldn't he see her?
Why couldn't he see their unborn child?
''So It was true…You and that woman..'' Isla turned away from him to look at her favorite scenery, the flowers preparing to bloom.
As though a bucket of cold water cooled his anger, the duke calmed down and realized his stupid mistake.
Even if he indirectly exposed himself, he wanted an answer from his wife.
''What did you do to Annalise?'' he repeated his question.
