Chapter 234 Your Preferences Are Certainly Unique
Chloe held a plum in her hand, lifting her gaze towards Donovan.
"You don't want orders?" he quipped.
Chloe approached and sat beside Donovan.
"Is this your only tactic?" Donovan teased.
"Mr. Blake, what more do you want? With a vast empire like New East Group, these minor dealings surely do not catch your eye. Auditing may not be the primary focus of New East Group, but it encompasses all of our endeavors. Why not perform a benevolent act? I am already pregnant, and yet here I am, keeping you company. Life isn't easy for us, either. Christmas is approaching; if I do not earn some money soon, I might find myself and my child wandering the streets," Chloe sincerely said to Donovan.
"We?" Donovan perceptively caught onto that word, which signified her and Brayden in his mind.
"I meant my child and me." Chloe, aware of Donovan's disfavor towards Brayden, tactfully omitted any mention of him.
Donovan's gaze fell upon Chloe's belly, which was seemingly larger than that of an average pregnant woman, appearing round and prominent.
His hand caressed Chloe's stomach.
Chloe recoiled slightly.
"No need to be afraid. It's not the first time I've touched it." Donovan stared at Chloe.
"We are divorced, which makes us strangers," Chloe reminded him.
"If we are strangers, why have you sought me out?" Donovan questioned Chloe.
These words left Chloe momentarily speechless.
"Why is your belly so large?" Noticing Chloe's speechlessness, Donovan changed the subject.
He even entertained the notion that perhaps Chloe had become pregnant before, but she intentionally suggested it had been five months.
However, Chloe smiled, "Mr. Blake, I must be quite lucky; I'm expecting twins right away."
"Twins?" Donovan frowned.
"Yes. While others invest twice the time, I only need once. I won't have to endure this again in my lifetime," Chloe remarked.
Donovan, infuriated, pondered, 'Quite lucky, huh? Brayden is quite potent!'
"Keep me company in bed." Donovan edged closer to Chloe, his hand reaching her thigh.
Chloe recoiled, saying, "Mr. Blake, your preferences are certainly unique."
"I simply adore pregnant women!" Donovan breathed heavily by Chloe's ear.
Drawing closer again, a fragrance enveloped Donovan's senses as if he had entered a garden of flowers.
"My hands are sticky. Could you pass me a damp tissue, Mr. Blake?" Chloe gazed towards a nearby packet of wet wipes.
Her fingers were sticky from handling the plum.
"What's sticking?" Donovan playfully inquired, staring at her mischievously.
"The plum," Chloe murmured near Donovan's ear, "Our intimate past is long gone, especially after you pushed Amelia down the stairs. We could never return to that."
Donovan absentmindedly handed her a tissue.
Chloe began wiping her fingers one by one.
Glancing momentarily, she found Donovan's hands particularly attractive. They were slender and well-groomed, his white nails displaying a healthy glow. His eyes were captivating, unlike others, exuding a profound intensity.
Chloe momentarily entertained the idea that her future child might inherit his striking features.
Perhaps she had not scrutinized Donovan's appearance closely before, but driven by hopes and speculations about her child's appearance, she now sought traces of resemblance on his face.
His towering stature added to her musings.
Chloe thought, 'How wonderful it will be if my child are as tall.'
"Stay with me for one night? If you do, all the orders will be yours. Since you've resorted to such tactics to secure business, I'll indulge you." Donovan drew Chloe closer, shifting her body towards his while accommodating her pregnancy. Her upper body hung freely due to her enlarged belly, making her chest appear smaller.
"Very well, I'll accompany you to bed, but not tonight. I'm pregnant and fatigued, especially after being out for so long this evening. I'm tired. Tomorrow perhaps! I'll choose a romantic setting," Chloe gently said to Donovan.
After all, Donovan was her key to success.
If he assigned her a fraction of the orders, she would never run out of money.
"No need to choose a place." Donovan's intention was crystal clear. His home was the most suitable.
"To sleep together, we should seek an external location for passion," Chloe said.
"Fine. Once you've selected the spot, get in touch. If you sleep with me, your wealth will know no bounds," Donovan declared before departing.
He knew Chloe would not allow him to drive her home tonight because she did not want him to know where she lived.
However, what she did would not escape his attention.
