Pregnant with My Ex-Husband’s Child Novel

Chapter 10 264 Your her Chapter 10 A year later, sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a warm patch of light on the living room floor. I was leaning on the sofa, holding my one-year-old son. He gripped my finger, humming a tuneless little song, drooling on my sleeve, but all I felt was a sense of tenderness. Leo came from the kitchen with a plate of fruit, placed it gently on the coffee table, and bent down to adjust the baby's little blanket, his voice incredibly soft.

"Don't hold him all the time, you'll get tired." As he spoke, he sat down next to me and gently ruffled my hair, his eyes filled with a smile. My studio's project had just won an international award, and Leo's architectural firm had also received new partnership offers. Our life was like this afternoon sun, stable and full of hope.

The names Vincent and Sophia meant no more to me now than strangers. The baby in my arms seemed to notice I was distracted. He patted my cheek with his little hand and grinned, showing two tiny teeth. I looked down at his eyes and brows, so much like Leo's, and couldn't help but kiss his soft cheek, my arms tightening around him instinctively.

This was the most important person in my life, the happiness I would do anything to protect. "What's wrong?" Leo noticed my movement and asked softly. I shook my head, leaned on his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Nothing. I was just thinking how good things are right now.
