Chapter 44 - A Daughter From a Mistress (2/2)

Luna blinked twice before realizing he was taking her upstairs in slow motion, making sure he wouldn't miss a single step. It was only then she remembered that she was pregnant with his child so he had to be extra careful.

Unconsciously, Luna wrapped her arms around his shoulder to steady herself. Hero felt her ċhėst pressed against him but didn't utter a word. Only when Luna's cheeks blushed profusely and realized what she had done did he chuckle.

”What's wrong? We're already husband and wife, and we've consummated our marriage. You're still shy?” he inquired, his eyes smiling at her with amusement.

”This shouldn't happen again, alright? You shouldn't forget that you're pregnant. What if you catch a cold? You don't have to wait for me to come home next time,” he chided her.

Luna wanted to argue that she wasn't waiting for him. She was only resting for a while but ended up sleeping on the couch when he found her.

”Alright,” she conceded easily. It was already late, and it's useless to argue with him at this ungodly hour.

She didn't think she could act leisurely when Hero was around. Luna still didn't know why Hero married her. In fact, he needed not to marry her for the sake of their child. He could fight with her for custody in court, but he didn't. Instead, he married her and gave her a proper title as his wife.

This home… this villa that Hero called their home was located in a rich, executive village in the far eastern part of the city. The ambiance was good, with fresh air and beautiful scenery.

This man… this husband of hers, Luna didn't dare to ȧssume that he liked her. In fact, aside from Jasper, she never dated anyone.

Her husband had an aquiline nose, dashing eyebrows, and deep eyes. He had thin lips and skin so fair that other women would be jealous of, but what Luna saw was a man so cold and eccentric that made her flinched unconsciously.

Hero Li. Of course, everyone within the city knew that name. He was kind of a legend in the business world, saving his family from bankruptcy.

What about her? She was just a daughter from a mistress of a wealthy businessman. Wasn't Hero afraid to receive a scornful look and opinion of the public by marrying someone like her?

”We're here,” Hero said as he brought her down, breaking her trance.

When Hero stopped his steps, Luna found herself outside of Amber's bedroom. Why did he bring her here?
